Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

@annaforflorida.bsky.social what if...?

Minneapolis! My dream, honestly

1000%

Let me cook though. What if it were like a candidate forum x speed dating crossover event. I'm a professional event planner, let me play

Ok. But what if @fladems.bsky.social ran speed dating? Like I known it's not your mandate but we're struggling out here

YOU are the helper

No I survived unscathed

100% im like maybe I am a wanted criminal?

Oh my god I didn't even think of that but I watched way too many unsolved mysteries as a kid

I'm having my first mri today and my anxiety has convinced me that I have unknowingly swallowed a washer

Questionnaire: could you have any metal slivers in your eye?
Me: i didn't think so before but now i'm not sure

Me, who has never had surgery: but *do* i have implants i've forgotten about??
