I did not realize the hellocobber shelve was so close to the cat tree! This is entrapment!

We’ve met several platonic buddies on cruises! Including these delightful ladies from the north of England and we still talk about how they talked about their husbands (“me ‘usband”) happily hanging out at home while the wives traveled the world. Cruises also let you pick one or two beds in a room!

world hard and cold but chicken nugget soft and warm

Thank you—legitimately—for clarifying. I had a moment of morning panic that it was Monday and oh god I’m late for meetings and no I’m too tired for this. But then: sweet relief, at the cost of those poor overworked children having to go to school on Sunday.

Take me down to the Parallax city where the far moves slow and the near moves quickly

Yes, the Monte Cristo was developed right along with Monte Espacio, Monte Gran Trueno, and Monte Salpicón.

That I scrolled (quickly, granted) and didn’t see @maryrobinettekowal.com’s Lady Astronaut series is a crime. It would be such a *good* tv series adaptation.

Honestly, I think I’d pick Operation Mincemeat. I know it’s still on Broadway with its OBC, but it’s so good and I think it’d benefit from an actual film.

“Order, design, tension, composition, balance, light… Dot, I cannot read this word.”

“Harmony.”

“So much love in his words. Forever with his colors. How George looks…”

“White. A blank page or canvas. His favorite. So many possibilities.”

Plain, a goodly amount of cream cheese. Not toasted. Lox if I’m feeling fancy.

The Hugo Blackstreet Boys

The dramatis personae of the 19th century play Too Much Johnson which concludes with the lines ACT I—JOHNSON! ACT II—JOHNSON!! ACT III—JOHNSON!!!

Found this, while attempting to answer the inevitable questions.

JOHNSON!
JOHNSON!!
JOHNSON!!!

Honky Tonk Blues? In this economy? Shan't. I can maybe, *maybe* give you the beat, boys, if your soul needs to be freed.

Have you seen the rent these days? Surely you cannot expect that I will give you shelter simply because you demanded it.

When people were having loud sex in the college dorms, a friend liked to turn speakers to the walls and play "C Is For Cookie" at full blast. It worked *almost* every time.

Maybe a finer sized decomposed granite?

I know exactly the part you mean, and I literally thought "I bet Kathryn's watch threw an alert tonight"

I really like Ellipsus, even though not having pages (yet) is taking some real getting used to. Not having AI anywhere near it is enough to make me put up with the lack of pages.

And a publication covering immersive theatre, too! 😆

🧵 I’m in my sickbed, looking tragic yet beautiful [think Lord Byron], & considering the world.

There is no doubt about it, that everyone feels at least a little anxious & some of us, afraid.

So let me share 10 small things to help you feel less on edge & more mellow?

Canadian Comedy ‘North Of North’ Renewed For Season 2 At Netflix On the heels of a successful Season 1, Canadian Arctic comedy North of North will be back for a second season at Netflix, the streamer announced today.

Great news for fellow #NorthOfNorth fans!

This is SO highly state dependent that you really can’t make generalized advice like this without knowing the specific states and details. someone who lives in NJ and works in NY would be screwed by following this advice. Unless it was an aspirational “should” like “this ideally should be the law”

“You are standing in an open field west of a white house, with a boarded front door.”

“It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a Grue.” is also a strong contender tbh

Mr. Miyazaki sir, I love your movies about how capitalism and the destruction of nature are evil, I made a shitty facsimile of them in a computer that drains reservoirs, do you like it

As promised, purchased! 🙌

Can these be stickers, please? We would buy them immediately.

Absolutely fantastic—and fascinating—interview. Thank you for this.

Katie Dowd's travel articles are universally worth reading.

I cannot emphasize enough that the New York City subway is not scary. It’s one of my favorite parts of living here. I grew up in the suburbs having to drive on highways everywhere and that’s way scarier

Is this an action the law allows him to take?
