someone call the etsy witches this is a fucking emergency

Back in Peace Corps Ukrainian classes/cluster, we were learning about diminutives and some common short names our potential students might have. My friends came up with келічка for me. Katie and Sonya/Sunny were easier (Катя and Сонечкa).

7 years of updates is great but I no longer trust the quality of Google phones. The glass covering the camera on my Pixel 8 pro shattered while in my back pocket after less than a year. Zero support from Google. Ridiculous.

My Mamaw worked in the Little Debbie factory - we used to get the cheap, dented box ones from the factory employee store when we'd visit. I have such a soft spot for them.

It's odd that the @thestranger.com didn't talk about how Mayor Harrell's budget includes a new $2.7 line item to crack down on street vending? It would have fit perfectly with this piece?

1/ A deadly #Listeria outbreak has been linked to precooked pasta, and four people have already died. 20 others became severely ill, with all but one landing in the hospital.

Katelyn here, Your Local Epidemiologist, and here’s what you need to know about this and other public health news this week👇

Close up photo of a Springer Spaniel's face. His ears are long and wavy with hints of grey in the black fur.

Springer Spaniel in the beach mid full body shake with his ears flopping around. The dog looks happy.

Every dog is the best dog but here's hoping there's an exhibit about how ridiculous and wonderful a Springer's ears are. Exhibit A:

(not meant to be sad - she was a force of nature who knew what she wanted. And we all got to have time to say goodbye)

My grandma gave up driving mostly, but I still remember her deciding to drive her old baby blue Chrysler New Yorker to the hospital two weeks before her 95th. She made it to 95 exactly and had decided she was done and was going to get where she wanted to by herself.

How did I not know about this?! I love dogs, I've always loved dogs!

The unicorn lived in a lilac wood, and she lived all alone. Congress has not authorized the use of military force.

Yeah!!!!!

Hell yeah!

Aw yeah, going to the game on Sunday!

I may have lived in Seattle for 16 years now but my heart still belongs to Detroit.

Going to wear my Detroit Tigers hat around Seattle just for fun.

Yeah, I've thought the same.

We are losing something by having newsrooms where everyone who has more than a few years’ experience has gotten fired. I don’t fault a young writer for not knowing about things that happened before she was born. But now there are no editors to help give context to these stories, either.

an extraordinary person with an extraordinary legacy who nevertheless didn’t take herself too seriously

when Gary Larson published this cartoon, she was in Africa and her institute was horribly offended and drafted a complaint

hi, federal judge expert here! this is not funny. conservative, Reagan-appointed district judges only use epistolary framing devices in their opinions when they are in extreme distress.

Little baby 18 year old me protested with a lot of these groups and pretty much all of them have disappointed me in recent years. Ugh.

You've got to be fucking kidding me. These anti war coalitions that started during the Iraq war protests not understanding the difference between the Iraq war and Russia invading Ukraine is infuriating.

Damn Dolly just postponed her entire Vegas residency (which I was seeing on opening night) to deal with “health challenges” - prayers UP for our girl, I do in fact need her to live to 100.

Trump has a please clap moment? Sending troops to US cities? All before coffee?

Living on the west coast is just a continuous wtf did I wake up to this time.

oh my god we are _deep_ fucked, Cramer's got a success rate of precisely 0%. if he's saying the bubble isn't a bubble, it's absolutely going to burst like, tomorrow.
