Piper Chiovoloni

I can’t stop thinking about a dive I had in a comment section where a middle eastern man clapped back at a racist American by calling him a “toilet paper user”. As someone who has reached bidet enlightenment, I support this.

Ugh. My kingdom for a
fire pit.

My feed is an odd whiplash of way too much politics broken up by posts from you, Hank Green, the “some good mushrooms” guy, and a dude who takes pictures of lichen. Your posts are a welcome delight, but my feed could definitely use some work.

I’m still unsure what labubu is and even though I am an absolute Google addict, I honestly would like to remain entirely ignorant on the topic. I encourage y’all to give me wrong answers as to what it is, though. As of now my mind is picturing something akin to a plumbus.

BREAKING: A federal judge ruled all transgender and intersex people can obtain passports that align with their gender identity while the case against President Trump's executive order proceeds.

While this is good news, we will continue fighting until this executive order is blocked permanently.

Boston.com and wcvb.com are saying over 1 million for Boston alone.

Guys walking past me in the parking lot, one says to the other in a gruff townie accent: “Yeah, she’s gonna be a boahd certified psychoanalyst. She’s gonna analyze the whole fuckin family.” Then his tone takes a bright shift “And honestly?… We could use it!”

Vance Boelter, accused of assassination of DFL House leader Melissa Hortman, apprehended • Minnesota Reformer Boelter is a Christian who voted for President Donald Trump and opposes abortion and LGBTQ rights, according to interviews with his childhood friend and videos of his sermons posted online.

As if we weren’t already aware of Vance Boelter’s motives:

Absolutely bizarre. I can’t imagine the pride board, or even the chief of police, ok-ing a non-officer volunteer carrying a firearm. But also… Jesus. An assault rifle?

It sounds like those “peacekeepers” may have been volunteers hired by the chief of police.

The likelihood this second term was going to end without innocent people getting hurt has always been slim. I mean. They’re already getting hurt.

Such a gorgeous guy

ICE was out arresting roofers in Centralville this morning.

Half and half

Get one of your own face!

Hahah. Yeah I’m Lowell where we have an abundance of them. But I’ll be sure to let you know!

It got down to the low 40s here the other day and I felt like the wind was going to toss me into the canal on my walk home. Just bizarre.

Whatever tree has been ejaculating pollen the last three days needs to calm the fuck down. It feels like I’ve got lemmings breeding in my frontal cortex and acid in my eyes, and my nostrils feel like they’ve been filled with sand in spite of being actively leaky.

🚨🚨ICE is apparently in town today. 🚨🚨

they will rely on you not wanting to get out of your cars to interfere.

Prove them wrong, and post if you see them.

God forbid we address basic human needs

That’s fucking nuts.

I’ve at least seen Trump flags coming down in my area (which doesn’t say a ton since I’m in MA, but it’s something). And I’ve seen small business owners and farmers questioning or dropping their support of Trump. It’s a start.

It’s giving “gnome that apprenticed under elves”

A “Junior” was just called up to the coffee shop counter to pick up his order and I can’t explain why, but he was the Juniorest looking Junior I’ve ever seen. Now wondering if his son will be nicknamed “The Third” and what name he’s the Junior of or if his government name is actually just Junior.

Even before my knees turned into Nature Valley granola bars I learned that if someone invites me on a hike I have to warn them that I am not a peak bagger, I’m a dawdler. If I spot a mushroom, a nice lichen colony, or some good moss, I’m stopping to gaze at it.

It took me three watches to understand why you were saying the “cauliflower” was soft.

Keeping our minds fresh, hey?

I just learned that denim gets its name because it originated in Nîmes France. De Nîmes. I turn 44 in less than two weeks. How did this nugget of etymology escape me for so long?

Hah! Honest to god.
