But really though when I wished I were a more put together, dependable person with her ducks in a row I didn't mean "Sarah stays as chaotic as ever & millions of other people get Worse". bsky.app/profile/jayl...

*asking student worker into office for A Word, closing the door*

Now, I know you can get up to speed on call numbers & we won't have to (*glances at skull*) escalate.

What if plastic skull for desk like in popular iconography of early saints?

With Halloween coming up I will surely find a bargain!

Sensible Center-Left Sky has been eating its own these past two weeks & I think it's because going after whoever's closest feels better than admitting our fates are at the mercy of the Evil, Moron, Evil Moron coalition.

We're not going to lose Michelle Wu because people are Angry About Bikes, are we?

Pirates🤝2000s popular music🤝women knitting something in old films as a subtle way of indicating they're expecting:

BOOTY

Was the person's dog in bed with them with his little dog head touching theirs?

Yes, let's have a dignified cool old person who turns out to have dementia in this, nothing that could get me to want to watch a show *more* except the death of a kid!

A show about bisexuals going fishing called "Bait and Switch"

I'll believe the whole thing isn't misogyny all the way down when people who are (justifiably) mad about woo woo have as much vitriol for fitness bros as they do for the dreaded...dun dun DUN...moms.

There's at least as much baloney & sUpPLeMenTs & One Weird Trick in that space but they get a pass.

I miss when I was tired because I'd done a good day's hard needed work, or because I'd been scrambling up & down small mountains or bobbing around in the sea all day, instead of from an inability to retain essential minerals, not to mention spending a big chunk of my time getting my ear talked off.

Some normal people on a roller coaster are gazing in fear & horror at a set of cars coming back the other way with evil red-eyed skeleton people in them

Some nice people are saying hi after being on breaks & I feel like the skeleton people in this rollercoaster meme:

*goin' into Roche Bros in search of a pick-me-up*

"Hey, what happened to all the sparkling wine?"

(This was the big conflict in that fanfic I got so mad about. Look, if you want me to hate a character don't make her dress like my Mom & have an office full of human skulls.)

What's frilly & rhymes with dire chazard?

I am a college professor in a movie. I *want* to be the Department Chair instead of being willing do to anything down to & including hiding under the table to *avoid* being the Department Chair.

I just worry about some ancient faculty member mummifying in their office & nobody caring!

The poor baby is sagging & probably needs the lacquerized old gasoline cleaned out of its tank!

I'm not open to a misconstrual which is why I restrict replies to friends & people I follow & therefore must trust at some level.

Nobody has said lickerish, which is my favorite euphemism for lustful.

You know your faithful doxy here is always down for a rodomontade!

I must be feeling better or something because after actual years of listening to my colleagues banter about the apparently abandoned Jag in the garage I sent a "shouldn't someone check on the owner of this car to see if they're OK?" email to the parking office.

UK friends, if you feel like helping someone this morning (someone in the comments suggests emailing public.enquiries@homeoffice.gov.uk )

Got Approached (admittedly the man didn't seem to be in the best mental health) this morning on the walk to work, while wearing a big hat, sunglasses, & a KN95

I'm going to be forty-five in a few months & I'm...not in good condition! I thought I was done with ~all this~! Do I need to wear a helmet?

Happy birthday!

The GUM interdental bristled toothpicks that are curved like Count Dooku's lightsaber hilt

When Costco only has the Makashi toothpicks:

Got beets at the farm stand & cooked the greens & apparently they're a nutritional bonanza besides being delicious braised with garlic in a bit of sesame oil.

Like, I asterisk out the names of public figures I wish to excoriate but it's because I want to talk about them without alerting various wacky sections of this website! I don't believe their names have mystical powers or anything! If I were writing a column in a magazine I'd use the proper names.

I will accept poetic euphemisms, like "he's singing in the Heavenly Choir now" or "she became one with the Force" (for people involved in "Star Wars") or rough slang like "went West" or "cashed in his chips" or "croaked" but put some effort into it!

I'm not telling people to stop being afraid of death- we're all afraid of death! I'm certainly afraid of death!- but pussyfooting around it with euphemisms like "unalived" or "passed" will not make Death turn aside when it is our hour!
