When you sit in church every Sunday and listen to the homilies and know that just ten miles away, your sister parish is STRUGGLING and no one cares because the community there is black and brown... oh boy... really makes you distrust the man in the flouncy vestments.

When I was in third grade, my sister started working at an inner city Catholic school that was in our diocese and I was FLOORED by the conditions. When I told the kids in my suburban CCD class about it, we - as children - organized a school supply drive and our teachers/church elders were pissed off

okay, so I guess my laryngitis is just gonna last forever. this is me now.

What’s insane to me is that I have a relative who programmed Tomahawks in the ‘90s and it was literally part of his mission to make sure civilians weren’t hurt in the fallout. (And he was proud and relieved they weren’t) Like… what the fuck!! This is a CHOICE!

they have the brain cells of small children. no object permanence. no understanding of consequences. my cat is more clever.

I've been thinking a lot lately about how I'd probably be a pretty neat wife and mother. Unfortunately, God is real and had other plans for me. Those plans were for me to be a career gal who spends her disposable income on cool experiences and her free time playing video games.

I think the most lasting psychological impact of the pandemic for me, at least, is needing to have my freezer full of protein and my pantry full of shelf-stable supplies at all times. Produce was never an issue. Pasta, toilet paper, and meat...?

The major upside of doing a massive fridge clean out today was taking stock of all the incredible stuff I have stashed in my freezer. I have not forgotten you, chicken drumsticks I bought on insane discount. Now, though, I think I know how to cook you. youtube.com/shorts/Ful7B...

LEARNER!!! (sorry I love him)

…see also me, the NYer who does not own a car and does public transit (but oh boy it’s gonna suck hard for everyone)

Aaron Pierre? That's Mufasa

Reached the part of my totk playthrough where I'm walking around the apartment, proclaiming, "It is I, the savior of Lurelin Village, and I have zero interest in tracking down the Fifth Sage."

Can you imagine loving basketball so much you'd date Bill Maher for free courtside seats?

“Mom, I accidentally slept in until 1:45 today.”
“That’s nothing. That’s just 12:30.”

Thank you Francis. I have noticed this as well

Now, if in a month, I post about feeling unwelcome in a Northern Irish bar, it's gonna be that I accidentally walked into a prod bar full of Orange men with their fucking drums and whistles. Otherwise - I'll be fine!

I'm going to Belfast next month and am honestly excited to tell locals exactly who I voted for in the last election and how I feel about the current administration in power. I will have no problem with that conversation, especially with a G&T in hand.

I think today's the day I might finally use the SMEG juicer I inexplicably got in a 2021 press mailer. It's so fancy looking I have been scared of it all this time.

Pauly Walnuts very seriously telling someone that “it’s called Broad daylight because women light up the world”

international women’s day

Okay. My cat was right. It is time for me to get the fuck out of bed.

Anderson really could make a meal out of… THE GHOST OF WINTERFELL. (Like in my head, this standalone film is just the tension in Theon’s mind in ADOD. With the Great Northern Conspiracy happening)

I feel like if you head into Arlington or Alexandria, you might get some spicy takes (don't ask me how I know that)

Brennandorf the Shy

I literally am envisioning the kingdom of Hyrule readying the armies and mystic swordsmen to face the new King of the Gerudo and… it’s Connor Storrie

Everyone thinks you’re gonna try to conquer Hyrule and you just want to gossip with the gals and keep Kara Kara Bazaar bustling. But oh, the assassination attempts

Matt has been a mentor and a friend to half the critics coming up in the past few decades. He helped me get my very first gig. His bookstore is a treasure trove of gorgeous art and behind the scenes knowledge. I can't recommend it enough.

Awww... Iga. Someone should tell her to try the underrated '90s gem DANGEROUS BEAUTY. If she likes '90s period romance, that's a fun, feminist one with a (real historic) twist.

Still playing TotK, but now thinking deeply about what it might be like if you were one of the rare boys born to the Gerudo every 100 years, but instead of being an avatar of Ganondorf, you were just a nice guy who liked hanging with all the ladies. What then?

I have watched this approximately 47 times and laughed out loud 47 times
