I'm glad my dreams don't mean anything; otherwise, I'd have to find a way to tell a beloved voice and character actor that he has an illness that can only be cured by making the items from Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp real without sounding insane

At the risk of sounding like an old person or a snob, when did everyone get so okay with chewing with their mouth open and can we go back to the times when we all chewed with our mouths closed? Sincerely, someone who HATES mouth sounds

I think if you told teenage Robin how much I could voluntarily tuck my shirt in now, she would probably have a heart attack

This whole country wants bad things for others more than they want good things for themselves.

How much curry is acceptable to accidentally splash on yourself in a really nice Vietnamese restaurant when you lose your grip on a giant chunk of taro with your chopsticks? Because I fear I exceeded that amount tonight, oops

Are the next 4 years really going to be logging on everyday to sentences like "a 19 year old doge intern called Big Balls has your social security number" because I'm already at capacity for this sort of thing

This Christmas has been a truly sobering lesson on the dangers of buying too much yarn... Everywhere I turn in my parents' house: more and more unused skeins of yarn 🧢

The same white woman from before grimaces into the camera, and there is a camera filter that offsets the color, alluding to the woman's discomfort. Caption: "BLUEGRASS"

Having a flashback to the time where I went to Crosstown Brewing to drink and read, only to be interrupted with bluegrass... Because that is exactly what has happened again

It feels very weird to have happened twice

I have already had at least one person stare at my outfit for the office Christmas party, so I'm hoping I am at least in the running for Most Festive Attire today

In this chaotic and uncertain year, I take comfort in the fact that Dad continues his trend of ordering exactly the wrong thing at every restaurant
