There were more, but I would have to go back on Twitter to look for them, and that's not going to happen πŸ™ƒ

It's ridiculous that making an appointment for a tattoo fills me with terror, but not the tattoo part itself.

I don't think the image I found that said the Buldak Carbonara is very low on the Scoville scale was entirely truthful.
Either way I'm clearly not built for the spicier flavors.

I went to a used book store and got 6 books (4 that were on my TBR, 2 for my kid) which cost me only $39. If you know anything about the price of books in Canada, you understand how excited I am.

Incredible to see a woman my age try to take credit for a concept I've heard about as a child in the 90s.
True crime girlies really think they're smarter than everyone else.

I haven't posted anything in 18 days and I'm suddenly getting a lot of new followers. The people making those bots have no idea how to be at least a bit subtle.

Oh, sorry. That's not at all what I understood.

The irony of my health care card being expired right now is that I intended to go renew it this week but now I can't because I'm too sick to even leave my bedroom.

It's terrifying tbh

There's no equivalent because it's just "frites". They've never been franΓ§aises, and we didn't see France as the enemy 20 years ago anyway.

It might be because I've got a fever, but the What We Do In The Shadows confused me.

I'm guessing they're still using the Discover tab, so how many people they're following doesn't really matter

I'm seeing people say Receiptify and stats fm have much more accurate top artists/songs for the year than Spotify and yeah I don't know about that, because both receiptify and statsfm are putting a band I've actively avoided most of the year as my 2nd top artist.

I've been talking to Americans online for about 20 years and I still don't understand what deductibles and premiums are.
Why the fuck do some influential people in my country want to import that fucked up system, it makes no sense.

The anniversary of my grandmother's death was just a couple of days ago, and now my great-grandfather is dying.
It's the end of the term at school. I have no idea how I'm going to keep it together.

You can absolutely count on white cis people to waste no time yelling at Black and trans people for not being sufficiently sad about the passing of a racist transphobe.

You know that scene in Community when Troy comes back with the pizzas and everything is on fire?

This is how it feels like to come back to this website after being away for a while.
Wtf is happening?

Love to realize I didn't do the assignment correctly only after turning it in. Big fan of the monthly brain fog that is definitely going to derail my studies.

Quebec introduces plan to improve abortion access over next 3 years

There's a lot of wrongs with the current Quebec government, but this plan to improve abortion access is surprisingly good.

According to multiple emails I've received from my kid's school, there have been physical fights (plural!) on the yard between parents because someone confronted a reckless driver.

On birthday of Louis Daguerre, born today in 1787, a thread featuring some notable examples of the photographic process that bears his name. First up, as self-reflexive an image as one could imagine: a daguerreotype portrait of a daguerreotypist displaying his wares www.getty.edu/art/collecti...

Two calico curled up on a red sleeping bag. They're both hiding their nose behind a paw. One's leg is pressed against the other's back.

It's getting cold, and this is the closest we'll ever get to the cats cuddling with each others.

Canada Post workers are on strike, and my attempts to google how to support them only show me endless articles about "what you need to know about your mail".

Obviously she took my own coming out as an opportunity to brag about how she was a great ally to the trans community, then never acknowledged my queerness ever again. Amazing allyship!
