Imagine hating me, and I’m just over here, also hating me. And then we form a friendship birthed out of shared hatred of me. But then, I go to therapy and uncover ways to love myself, and because of all of our bonding, you learn how to love me, too. And then we kiss.

What I listened to this week

I’ve been so entertained by the quote posts that I didn’t even realize I typed “I have a curt”

I have lived a million lives since this morning. I have rolled my ankle. I have spent an hour and a half at the pediatrician. I’m now at the grocery store where my middle has yelled the earth is flat and also the Easter bunny is probably me.

Jesus Christ. This is your guy???

I would get into baseball, but it’s hard when St. Louis doesn’t have a team :/

My youngest came in and asked if I wanted money to help him build a house, and I’m like, is that my money? And he goes, “no, I got it from a leprechaun.”

I love the idea of my pediatrician having a sick-visit waiting room separate from the well-child check waiting room until they’re like, “well, this skin issue your child has qualifies you for the germy section. See you again in 2-3 days”

This is so incredibly good

There is a very good reason, and it is absolutely dependent on the candidate’s age: Young people (in this case anyone under, say, 55) deserve the opportunity to lead. Democracy is a shared endeavor. You can’t teach a society the virtue of sharing by clinging to power literally until you die.

Just found out Ryan Coogler was inspired to make Sinners after watching the 2001 Disney channel original movie Luck of the Irish, which, yeah, makes sense

I think I’ve already said this but I don’t care. “What’s Right” by Ratboys makes me understand what a dog experiences when you scratch them behind the ear

My Qobuz is being SO BUGGY today, and as God’s strongest Qobuz evangelist I’m getting so mad about it

I am writing my own essay discussing who shouldn't speak on the Lindy West situation. So far, I have "pretty much everyone who has spoken on the Lindy West situation." Anyone I'm missing?

if Greta plays her cards right those Narnia movies are gonna hoover up both the Potter apostates and the disaffected adult Catholic convert moms who've realized JD Vance hates them; a powerful coalition. Very narrow path here, but Gerwig's a skilled contortionist.

I often have doubts over my bisexuality, but when I see things like, "women are going feral over Heated Rivalry" and "women are mad after Bridgerton introduces a lesbian storyline," it helps me know exactly where I stand.

God, this Girl Scout release is incredible. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTXI...

Found out today my son hates Wing Wednesday. Maybe it’ll help if I start adding PBRs and bar trivia

Lovingly, respectfully, what are the Episcopalians posting about today? I love all of you, and I want to know what you are excited about

I do think a lot of people come to this website only to start fights. You all are chronically addicted to the drama. And bless you, it’s why I’m never leaving.

My kids apparently had a bad bedtime last night so I’m forcing them to do homework on the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory on spring break. This is how we preserve unions.

God, this thread is so good

Julia Steiner complimented my shirt. do you think she wants to get matching tattoos?

Saw “Black Earth, WI” live. If I die, I die happy

Are they called Ratboys because of all the shredding?

Motherfucking ratboys, man

I am sitting here watching the opener for Ratboys, and it’s so nice and mellow, and I just cannot imagine seeing Gouge Away right now (and I say that with all the love in my heart)

While I do want a green burial, I hope they can find a way to play Ratboys’ “Black Earth, WI” on an endless cycle at my place of rest so I never have to be without it

My kid asked me the other day what happens if you hit a cop car, and I’m like, let us consult the ancient texts of Modest Mouse.

You can actually eat out at any income level, just FYI

Wednesday ticket has been sold so guess who is going to get a sick ass Ratboys shirt tonight guilt-free?

*sweating space man hovering his finger over the like button*

For me personally, I am on this website to chat with, like, fifteen people. It's always weird when it feels like more than that are interested in what I have to say

Listen up, you sick freaks. You need to listen to The Montvales.

Threw on Punisher from Phoebe Bridgers, and god, this album still hits. If "Chinese Satellite" or "I Know the End" ever fails to unravel me, call the coroner, I suppose.

More and more, I am convinced this guy doesn't actually want to get the democratic nomination.

Pro tip: if second skin sticks hard enough around the edges, it can pull up your skin when it’s coming up, giving you two scars for the price of one 😎

I can’t believe Bridgerton is just now getting gay

Here’s how the Nets can still come back

Every night, Chris Frantz comes onto this website and tells everyone goodnight and links a song and says to sleep tight, and it’s like, Chris, man, I’m trying but shit is tough.

Does Ratboys know how excited I am to see them tomorrow? Do they understand that this show has been fueling a small sense of hope since December?

I cannot take off this Yumi Zouma album, No Love Lost to Kindness. Everyone please listen and write a three paragraph essay so we can discuss it

I respect the recipes that are like “use the broccoli stems because they’re edible” but also, those are for my dogs, you greedy bastards

We want to grab you by your cardigan's shawl collar, pull you close, and bite you on the neck. That's what grown women want to do. We do not feel that way about a quarter zip.

I’ll never get the hatred of Megan Draper on Mad Men. She’s cute as hell, knows how to make spaghetti, and just wants to hang out with her gay friends all the time. Don didn’t deserve her.

I once saw someone say that skin care companies partnered with iPhone to greatly improve the camera quality and increase business for Botox and fillers, and I’m positive this is a bogus conspiracy theory, but every time I take a selfie, it’s liked damn, they’re at it again

I’m just a girl. Standing here with a ticket for tomorrow’s sold-out Wednesday show in St. Louis, asking if anyone wants to buy it for $25
