Goodreads needs a "Number of times this has been recommended to me" counter so that I can sort my WTR list better.

Thought and prayers to all the retail and restaurant workers who are about to ensure the month long psychological torture of the same holiday music on an endless one hour loop.

She looks like she's desperately trying to blink "SOS"

May Andrew Wakefield never know peace and die alone. The blood of these children is on his hands.

In 1998, a British doctor decided he could make money by discrediting certain vaccines in favor of his own method. Now in 2025, measles, a disease once declared eliminated in the US, has spread to 135 people in Texas, most under the age of 18.

Apparently you can buy CD players that look like vintage record players (except smaller) and I want that, but, like, a gramophone. Someone make this happen.

I watched the halftime show on YouTube and while I love and appreciate everyone who has taken the time to break down the symbolism of various aspects of the show, I have to say that, as a typography nerd, my favorite part was that glittering lowercase "a" on his necklace. Chef's kiss. Perfection.

This preview image is AWFUL. But the topic is delightful. Have a little joy.

(Context 1: Main characters are trying to escape a deadly maze. Context 2: Ariadne is the princess who helped Thesius escape the Labyrinth.)

So, I started listening to Paladin's Hope last night while I was trying to get to sleep. It hasn't made me giggle quite as much as the first two, but it did make me have the most UNHINGED dreams about trying to escape a deadly maze while my brain screamed the name Ariadne over and over.

3) Monopoly also reminds me of the fact that a perfectly lovely dinner and gaming group was ruined in part because we played Monopoly.

2) Every time I see a version of Monopoly I am reminded of the time we were playing a game where you had to outbid each other on the number of some item that you could name and the card was "Versions of Monopoly" and my brain was like "MY TIME HAS COME."

Three Things:
1) If I like you enough to get you a gift, there's probably a note about you on my phone.

Acorn helped me compose this post:

Acorn picked up Brutus and he was like a giant load of bread above her arms and four tiny little green bean legs below.
Acorn finished this hypothetical post with "Eat healthy, y'all!"

She intends to draw y'all a picture.

And that's just the stuff I remember. At least the woman helping me clean is getting a kick out of my facial expressions.

Stuff we found while cleaning the kids' toy area!

- My mini binder clips
- Sunscreen
- An empty container of Magic Sand
- One (1) Qwirkle tile
- My Friction pens
- A box of long envelopes

Ah, Texas A&M. The only school where the marching band practices more than the football team. Gig'em Ags!

You know what Single Payer Healthcare would ALSO help with? The amount of fucking MAIL that gets sent out about insurance bullshit. Not just the bills but the "Hey, we're just checking with your doctor to see if we *really* have to pay for that or if we can weasel our way out of it" letters, too.

Right? Every ethically non-monogamist person I know is going to be up front about being married and might even bring a partner along on the first date so everyone is on the same page. If he won't let you talk to the wife BEFORE the first date? That man is lying.

Clearly this fact is not going to bother me enough to stop listening. 😁

Restore Me, by Tahereh Mafi: In which the characters bemoan that Character A has been KEEPING SECRETS from Character B by not revealing these HUGE THINGS about A's past. And I'm here mentally yelling "THEY'VE BEEN DATING FOR ***THREE***WEEKS***"

Sometimes, nighttime is the only time that it's quiet enough to hear the thoughts in your own head.

That doge is flying the flag backwards. He is clearly in distress.

The writer's dilemma: Do I write a pretty sentence that I'll be proud of later? Or do I write a clunky sentence to make a stupid geek reference that probably only 2 people will catch?

The Onion wins Alex Jones' Infowars in bankruptcy auction The satirical news company plans to shutter Jones’ InfoWars and rebuild the website featuring well-known internet humor writers and content creators, according to a person with knowledge of the sale.

The wheels of justice turn slowly, but grind exceedingly fine.

Hey! This is just a gentle reminder that the thing food pantries need the most is MONEY.

Someday, far in the future, there will be drone shows that make firework noises and no one will know why.

I think my son's new medication has turned him into a morning person and it is The Worst.

In this house "LEAVE YOUR MOTHER ALONE" means "I love my wife" and I think that's beautiful.
