Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever see a picture of a looksmaxxer who is actually attractive to me.

Few things will decimate your self-esteem faster than catching a glimpse of yourself in the camera at a self-checkout or ATM.

If you're in Providence and can't afford to see Wicked, this is a great night of theatre too! www.broadwayworld.com/rhode-island... @theatrecritics.bsky.social

Even though it's caused confusion sometimes, keeping the phone number from a state I haven't lived in for nearly 20 years has really made it easier to weed out spam calls and scammy texts. Such an unexpected perk of being lazy.

My toddler, on The Olympics: "This is boring! It's just girls flying through the air on skis!" World class athletes can't compete with a seventh re-watch of Peppa Pig Et al., apparently. #winterolympics2026 #bigair

Imagine being so scared of brown people that you're willing to pretend you like Kid Rock. What a bland existence.

Hahahhahahahahahaha It's a real Who's Who of Who's That

As much as I am afraid and stressed out about *gestures at EVERYTHING*, I am also incredibly relieved we are done with skinny jeans. It's nice to feel comfortable in pants while being super uncomfortable with everything else.

Jack Smith testified yesterday and stood by every charge against Trump: "He willfully broke the very laws that he took an oath to uphold." House Republicans were furious. Smith didn't budge. See what happened: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/aoc-and-ne...

Two days ago: "The Wizard of Oz is too scary for a kiddo like me!" This morning: "I want to watch the witch melt!" More mature? Sociopath? Who can say. #kidssaythedarndesthings

RIP Claudia Cardinale. Much like Robert Redford, she was a rare case of a beautiful performer with a filmography full of bangers who did NOT become right-wing later in life. Here she is punching fascist Brigitte Bardot in the face in Les Pétroleuses (1971).

Why is Goodreads saying I completed my 2025 Reading Challenge on December 27th? I have five more days of reading to do. This is very annoying.

It's that time of year! @theatrecritics.bsky.social

YUP

Are there other foods mentioned in children's literature/ movies that are purported to be delicious, but are actually disgusting? Obviously, Turkish Delight from Narnia, but I would also add marmalade from Paddington--it's not as terrible, but his enthusiasm doesn't match the taste/texture.

I recently discovered that cubed, roasted sweet potatoes are excellent in a Caesar salad. Try it!

come get me, ronald reagan presidential foundation

Sometimes I feel like I spend all my time buying and returning shoes.

We have always been at war with Eurasia.

I've worked in libraries for a long time, and this is the longest holds list I've ever seen.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

I have no desire to drink a glass of milk, but this seems so delightfully wholesome.

The only thing that should piss people off about professional cheerleaders is how poorly paid they are. #minnesotavikings #malecheerleaders #blaizeshiek

It should not have taken so long, but congratulations to the staff at Butler Hospital on a new contract! substack.com/@steveahlqui... #butlerstrike #unionstrong #butlerhospital

This house is cool, but this quote is fully bonkers: "The two-hour drive to Boston is also ideal for anyone looking to commute into the city without difficulty."

I absolutely do not care about football, but I think I might be in love with Marshawn Lynch?

Over the course of 20 years, this house went from $132,000 to over a million. #bostonrealestate #rentingforlife

Imagine being so desperate to change the Epstein narrative that you start threatening to revoke people’s citizenship and start another trade war.

Dear internet: I recently learned that capers come in two sizes. If I already love the small ones, can I assume I'll love the big ones too, or are they quite different?

Currently mulling whether I actually needed to buy more underwear, or if the answer was actually just doing laundry...

i’m at the taco bell i’m at the urgent care i’m at the combination taco bell and urgent care

zooey the cat enraptured by tightly plotted legal thrillers

I'm so good at Spanish.

i’m here you fuckaas bitch

Librarians! I know a lot of you were in a similar situation with PSLF. Help a scholar out.

Trump’s Memorial Day message to America is attacking judges and calling Democrats “SCUM.” No mention of the military.

I love it when stores tell you exactly what to expect.

I got a free trial of kindle unlimited a while ago, and learned that it is both limited to a particular batch of books, and limited to 20 titles at a time. 🙄

I’m pete hegseth’s door dasher and he just said “here’s your tip” and sent me a list of places we’re going to bomb and $0

I am 'regularly oiling my wooden cutting boards' years old.

how are we supposed to believe this guy is an expert in friendship when he clearly doesn’t have any friends close enough to tell him that he looks like life coach for sex offenders

HAHAHA! Love it: www.huffpost.com/entry/public...

Happy 80th anniversary of Hitler killing himself in his bunker to all who celebrate, which, as I now understand it, is not everybody

My kiddo (3) is so fucking pissed she's not allowed to run the marathon today. #bostonmarathon

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

47 hates these photos, I promise not to repost, much.

I never thought I'd be one of those 'kids say the darndest things' people, but yesterday my kid called the band They Might Be Giants "Maybe They Will be Giants," and it was pretty goddamn adorable.
