The increasingly half-hearted Cat and Girl holiday store is now up! Your once or twice a year chance to get personalized items, my once or twice a year chance to clear up some closet space. Will this be the year someone buys the licorice eyebrows tin? catandgirl.com/attic-shoppe/

I would've thought the same until my hair turned white overnight when I was scared by Freddy Krueger in my sleep.

We watched the Puke Hose episode of Mad Men and I have been bedridden ever since realizing I was in my 20s when it aired.

We gotta have a better word for "black ice." Out loud, that last syllable sounds like "guys." Invisible Ice, the Sneaky Slippys, Jack Frost's Snot, Gnomes on their Zambonis, the Devil's Gone Curling, etc.

Oh yeah, at work someone advised me to remove em dashes from something I’d written because it implies AI wrote it. So now this shit between me and AI is fuckin personal

I remember MoDo's "Donald the Dove" which was roundly mocked. I'm done arguing. Being mad about past elections doesn't turn out unmotivated voters who are a much bigger population than podcast guys.

I heard "genocide bad, I'm not gonna volunteer, but we gotta vote" but your media environment might be different.

i think about this often and i have yet to come up with a better solution than sectoral unionization w rigorous ethics enforcement & relentless internal/external organizing. a generational political project that likely wouldn't bear fruit before the literacy rate enters its death spiral anyway.

There's nothing Jeffries and Schumer can do but twiddle their thumbs and collect a paycheck until voters do the work a year from now. Inspiring stuff! (I'm a supervoter in a blue state, it's not me you gotta convince to Pokemon Go to the Polls.)
