reminds me of that one lady i met who tried to convince me that my other vegan friends are lying to me and are secretly eating meat behind my back, and i’m just naive enough to not realise there’s a conspiracy going on. how people live with shit like this in their heads i have no idea

I've unlocked one new fear a day by simply keeping up to date on wedding industry scandals like guys did you know some photographers have started to use generative AI?? like couples are getting photos back with yassified grandparents?? photos they wanted as mementos for when those people are gone?

still amazes me that Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein came out in the same year. and they're arguably his two best films!

I haven’t cut my hair back into its usual Seberg pixie in a bit because I thought I wanted to see how it would grow out and ok hair is so much work I keep staring at men who can do the teeny tiny tight lil buns when they gather all their hairs and wondering how they can put in that effort

I need them to craft out a solid argument. I need them to think about how they build their case and flesh out their point. These idle thoughts are so boring. Either just write it in a blog or read it on video like a script. Y'all are not skilled enough to rattle off depth off the top of your head.

i'm helping a friend with a resume and cover letter so naturally i pulled up my own and wow why are cover letters so humiliating why did we allow this to become standard practice I sound like a shabby baby listing off skills like "record maintenance" and "interdepartmental coordination"

6 years ago today i officially became a full time writer when a guy doxxed me to my very religious boss at the construction firm by sending her an assortment of thirst traps & posts about hating my job — thank you all for making me what i always wanted to be when i grew up patreon.com/raxkingisdead

My nine year old asked for a Rosetta Stone cake for his birthday

As a matter of fact, yes, it should. (I've corrected it a thousand times. Let's make it 1,001.)

my mayor's muslim my bagel's jewish i don't understand how time works in the 4th quarter against all odds i'm a knicks supporter

New York City, Heartland of America!!!!

I love the WedditNYC subreddit because what do you mean there’s a couple looking for a historian to provide a 5-15 min talk before their ceremony about the history of marriage and will pay $700 like can you invite me and why didn’t I think of that

Bought this with no hesitation lol

Hi it's me a white guy who suddenly is very interested in Black feminist critique of white women for normal reasons

Side note due to subject matter; Hell is a lie, a false doctrine devised by sociopaths and forced onto the Church by Roman emperors. The vast major of the early Church believed in ultimate reconciliation. See Prof. Ramelli, A Larger Hope.

Welcome to FIFA World Cup Iraq's World Cup striker, Aymen Hussein, was held and questioned for nearly seven ​hours at Chicago's O'Hare airport after arriving with the squad ‌early on Saturday, an Iraqi sporting official said.

i took my first ever in-person makeup class on may 10 and not even a full month later on june 9 i felt ambitious enough to deviate from my lessons and try the underpainting technique and feel like some makeup wizard like wow i looked good before but now i feel like this look has locked me in

brings a tear to my eye

Hi! I have a good news and politics newsletter. I publish twice a week with fresh, thoughtful commentary on what's happening. I used to be a Capitol Hill reporter. Usually it's $4/mo but right now you can get a subscription for 40% off your 1st 3 months. www.burnsnotice.com/40-off-for-p...

Last repost: this reminds me of the (troll?) comment I keep seeing on TikTok of “stop using AI” specifically targeting women talking about things they’re experts in and wrote scripts about, apparently it’s hard for some people to believe women are smart and don’t want to mince words on camera

One thing i notice is that people now instinctively react to any bizarre photo by assuming it’s slop, even when all the evidence is to the contrary, and I think that’s as dangerous as believing slop is real

For a smooth, rewarding and drama-free couples trip, take as much stress out of the equation as you can — and get comfortable with the fact that a fight may arise (and that's OK). n.pr/3S7NUsl

HBD to the legendary joyful/angry feminist and superlative filmmaker Agnès Varda (1928-2019)!!! 🎊🎞️

Agreed, that @livesinpages.bsky.social story is so great! Also agreed, I love stories that include sex as part of life! Speaking of... reminds me of my idea for a HAD call, themed around making me blush...

Throwback to when a TV station in Iceland accidentally aired an episode of Teletubbies with subtitles from the Sopranos 👌🏼

little late for this post and i'll probably do a longer version of it later in the month but my coming out story is that i never had to, i just was, and to whatever extent possible a world where that's the norm is what we're fighting for

Per my last several posts apparently I’m just generally unprepared for how weddings can look in the year of our lord 2026

I promise I will stop this battle against flowers as soon as my planning is over but in my search for non-floral centerpieces (books, candles, driftwood, fruits), no one prepared me for the most obvious thing that makes me happiest to see on a table: bread

btw if you like the horror-themed pinup art from the last few days and missed it the first time around, they're all from horrible girls! i made a whole 56-page book of it haha ❤️‍🔥 keezyyoung.itch.io/horrible-girls ❤️‍🔥

Imagine trying to find out when this band is playing in the city near you

RIP Georges Méliès, you would have been a great cartoonist

One of the scientists in the article is very careful to point out that it's still very early in the testing process and this could end up amounting to nothing, but even keeping that in mind, it's hard for me not to think of this as damn-near miraculous.

another thing that no one prepared me for while wedding planning: how many times I would weep searching through stillwhite and finding gorgeous dresses that have had the most hideous alterations done to them

LOLOL "What stood out most was ꜱᴛʀᴜᴄᴛᴜʀᴀʟ ʙᴀᴄᴋ-ᴇɴᴅ ꜱʜɪᴘᴘɪɴɢ ᴛʀᴀᴄᴋɪɴɢ, which feels like the kind of nuance that naturally sparks layered and honest conversation in our group."

Here is Tom Steyer personally supporting high school trans athlete AB Hernandez. I don't think I've ever seen a candidate as brave as Tom Steyer in his explicit support for trans folks. It says a lot that it took a self funded billionaire not dependent on donors to do it.

Freelancing is hard enough already, and inflation sucks. Defector is raising our base freelance rates by 20 percent. Great time to pitch us. Email me or [email protected]

Someone asked me the other day, “If Trump can just do whatever he wants, then a Democratic president can too. why is Medicare for All impossible? Why are reparations impossible? Why is anything off the table?”

some characters I've been rotating inside my head. certainly not for a webcomic... no....

Right. He is powerful as long as he embodies their worst impulses and gives them license to do and say openly what they’ve had to hide—including so called moderates. If he had a wild conversion to eco-socialism tomorrow there’d be 8 million articles about his dementia by noon.

in case you missed it i revisited the david foster wallace essay about the AVN awards for @flaminghydra.com recently 💋 flaminghydra.com/on-rereading...

Maybe this is more about healing my inner child than making a wedding look like a wedding for me but as someone who was dragged to too many weddings too young I am terrified of being bored at my own wedding so if flowers could instead pay for tarot reading/live sketching/temp tattoos so be it

no one prepared me for the phase of wedding planning when I, a devout flower lover, would argue against having wedding florals because florist minimums and even the a la carte options are so high I could have several other forms of guest entertainment instead

Swan Lake keeps autocorrecting to Sean Lake in my and my MIL’s texts and ok Apple let’s run with it On the night of his birthday, Prince Siegfried ventures into a forest to a lake where some guy named Sean transforms into a beautiful maiden, cursed to turn back into Sean unless she finds true love

so like lemme weigh in on this as someone who is more financially comfortable than many in my generational cohort: everything I have gained seems precarious and temporary because I know the people with real money will take it all from me the second they get an opportunity and no one will protect me.

Learned recently there's a whole subculture of halal BBQ joints in texas, originally because Texas's quite-large Muslim population couldn't eat at ones that also prepared pork, but now it's a whole thriving culinary niche. Real "glorious American melting pot" stuff
