I can't believe after all this time they haven't figured out how to make cute character noodle shapes that don't fall apart once you cook them.

I'm still gonna buy the Super Mario mac and cheese cups, but I'm just saying.

A meme format screencaping popular website Tumblr reads: user: trashgender-neurotica Executive dysfunction isn't just for things you don't want to do. I've been meaning to go get ice cream for like an hour now. user: pardonmewhileipanic this is too fucking real tho user: porcupine-girl I spent two hours the other night intending to watch TV and never did it.

All I can say is, I hope @bsky.app realizes that their unique distinction of being the social media site that doesn't suppress offsite links is their superpower for retaining a creative class that can actually survive by posting here.
