It's ok, I'll just send a follow-up that says "we need to talk, call me" and then I'll spring the good news.

I'm not saying I'm stressed, but I just got jealous of some kale having dressing massaged into it.

Hold music in one ear, "We Built This City" in the other, and my brain in between, hanging on for dear life.

Watching a film where I don't think Richard E. Grant is meant to be unsettling, but guess what.

The local gardening subreddit has pointed out that it's only 90 days until last frost and you have to laugh, because why do we live here.

Had to verify my debit card by pressing it to the back of my phone for the first time today, and it has me wondering what else my phone is verifying without me knowing. Cheese dust on my fingers? The presence of farts? What does the government know about how often I shower and when did they know it.

there should be an app where if you think you want to cut all your hair off but deep down you know it's a bad idea, you tell the app and it sends a couple of heavies around your house and they stare through your windows wearing wigs of your ill-advised haircut to warn you of how stupid you'd look

Oof. I just read your post in the most uncharitable, pedantic way possible, and I gotta tell ya: it's not looking good for you.

And Sidney Poitier. But other than that I was quite strong.

The slick, wet look sequins used in the creation of this mid #1920s evening dress are made from cellophane. For over 30 years, sisters Anna & Laura Tirocchi brought European style over America in their Providence RI shop. This is one of their choices #RISDMuseum #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Pazuzu's wife, hearing Pazuzu's pager go off: Zuz, we talked about this. It's midnight.

Gonna take a bit of training on my part to defeat those functioning Gen Z knees, but to be honest, I don't expect any of us to be particularly strong.

I'm happy to hear this, but I will be engaging in hand-to-hand combat with these people in the aisles of my local thrift store.

Such decadence had not yet made it to the shores of Canada and my friend who was with me still talks about it to this day, 20 years later.

Greatest hospitality I have ever been shown is when I visited my mom's cousins for the first time and they poured cream over my ice cream.

I'm already sick of "It's all a distraction from Epstein" replies. This regime is killing innocent people because our leaders are all power-hungry tyrants and war profiteers. When you say it's "just a distraction" you minimize the gravity of what's happening and the lives lost.
