At peace, if still slightly annoyed. Seattle writer/editor, fueled primarily by coffee, lip balm, and ice cream. She/her. I’m mostly here for the cats. And the books. And the feminism. And the X-Files. Bigots can go pound sand.
This poor bebe is pale with starvation!
Marine Boy is on at 1 in the morning, on one of the Old Shows For Old People channels?? He was my first celebrity crush, pre-kindergarten! Gotta wonder how that holds up, good lord. 😉
i bet this shit sounds magical if you're fucking stupid
😬😬😬
I tell everyone who barely mentions Powell’s that the first time I visited there, I teared up in the children’s section, which was and is larger than my house. The sheer bounty made me verklempt!

My sister, Amy, took a dramatic header down a flight of stairs at the office (coffee was thrown across a wall!) and has been accosted with her Gashlycrumb namesake at work ever since.
Sing the songs of your people, boys! The V-E-T must know the stories of generations! (At our house, we’re due to visit the Professional Kitty Friends next week, so hoomom is a little tense awaiting the concert herself.)
What’s your sign?
There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.
He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.
I think this is a great argument, beautifully constructed
The thing that I find most striking about the Muppet show is when a guest is 100% into it. That sincerity you mention, manifested as they smile or sing or make eye contact with these little felt-and-feather beings. Kenny’s doing it here; he believes in them as much as any 6 year old.
Your timeline told me it wanted some pictures from the delightful Wes Anderson show at the Design Museum In London
I can't explain why, but "I hate Illinois Nazis" is funnier than "I hate Chicago Nazis."
If it helps, here’s Whitney and Brandy with a little more bombastic version that sticks in my head sometimes 😉

Abolish the legal gender marker entirely. No government can be trusted to have a database of which people have changed theirs, no government has any business tracking what your gender is "supposed" to be in the first place.
Forgive me if I’m wrong but didn’t he write a very stupid book about how there should not be a social safety net

the democratic response to the SOTU should start with “is Donald Trump a pedophile?” and from there be entirely about the files
congrats to the mens hockey team for letting a demented 80 year old sex criminal steal your shine and make himself the center of your accomplishment

Either, I suppose
As the world reels from the president's rant and threats of additional tariff chaos, I'd just like to remind the UK that they recently arrested someone who could probably bring down this entire house of cards with very little incentive.
But my top pick for the last 40 years has got to be this, with the footwork sequence to the call-and-response scatting with the audience.

Oh my GOD, I have wanted to do this for YEARS
Sooo, in 1988 my indulgent coach let teen me pick my own music, which led to me careening around frantically to the piano prelude to Billy Joel’s “Angry Young Man.” (Lyrics were not allowed yet!)
I skated in a club recital show once where the opening number included kids shoving curling stones around at high speed to “Thunderstruck.” The stones were wrapped in battery-powered twinkle lights. (So were some of the kids, if memory serves.)
I met Tonya when we were both teens! We had a shy, snarky conversation about the decrepit restroom at a local rink, way before she became notorious. She’s made many awful choices over the years, but I can never get over my soft spot for that girl in braces, laughing with me over the stinky toilets.
