the two kinds of polycule are MacBook and Linux. the Windows polycule is postulated but unproven

picked this up for Kindle for $4.99 this morning on a whim and I have taken every stray series of minutes I've had with my nose in it, I'm delighted! it's three of my truest loves in one spot: baseball, Jews, and gay. I should have started reading romance aaaaages ago 🥰

pleased to report, the Cincinnati Chili spice ice cream with entire oyster crackers in it from Graeter's/Skyline is an entire slay

at a Cincinnati Kroger store in the 45 remaining grocery shopping minutes. it's the most last helicopter out of Saigon place you can be. a man is self checkout-ing nine entire pineapples

this mirror on a fence in Cincinnati just made me smile so big to myself

y'all going to church on Christmas

yesterday a barista asked me "is whole milk ok?" and a horrible vision passed across my mind of a gay sex bottom, e.g. hole, being hooked up to that machine they did to Roger the Alien in the cartoon "American Dad," to produce the hole milk that would be offered to latte drinkers

hello from Cincinnati, Ohio

what keeps getting me is how deeply considered the character is, his face is classic oval shape and angelically elevated cheeks that you could hang a Linda Evangelista face on with just a light wash of powder, yet Sami Landri is deliberately a Chiac monster who looks like she's soaked in kerosene

the permission slip people have given themselves — "if I say it's Zionists I wish harm on it can't be antisemitic" — is so fucking hazardous, perilous, and hateful. The people who go out armed to enforce this thinking never conduct detailed interviews with their targets. They just shoot at Jews.

I love gay people WiFi passwords wdym it's all-lowercase "ilovemydeadgayson123"

struggle with holiday traffics complete for now, I've arrived in Cincinnati's beautiful Northside and snagged my favorite Turkish Latte from Sidewinder Coffee 🥰

owing to the climate, all roadway construction works are all wound down completely for winters in Minnesota; unfortunately for my travel today, Kentucky has no such stricture and chooses to have orange flagged speed zones in place for 30-40% of their interstate highway system mileage

no disrespect to my pug oomfs and their adorable little gremlins but seeing any emblem or sticker associated with pugs on an automobile in front of me on a two-lane roadway is a sure sign I'm gonna need to pass that vehicle at the earliest opportunity

pulled off in cute Ohio river town Madison, Ind. and grabbed a hot ham & cheese from the counter at Hinkle's

this is the worst thing I've ever seen

the effortless ease of an exterior corridor motel can simply not be beat for road tripping

if bari weiss had tried to do 9/11 there'd be three towers now

related: new season of "Very Important People" on Dropout and I am wheezing and cackling through the first episode so badly that (combined with having done like three sit-ups the other day, my ""abs"" did not care for that) I am in literal pain and had to dig out the actual ibuprofen from my bag

staying in a nicer class of property here in Bloomington, Ind. which has those curtain lights next to the mirror and I just did one of those peel-off face masks from Walgreens so here

yo I don't know that I've ever seen something have the kind of quantity/stars spread Dropout does in the Apple Computer Application Store

it was explained to my satisfaction in her memoir "My Name Is Barbra" (out in paperback now if you're looking for a late holiday gift) that Barbra was minimally involved in the "Streisand Effect" action and shitcanned the attorney who pursued it, so, I propose we call it "the Weiss Effect" going fwd

hanging my hat tonight in picture-perfect Bloomington, Ind. and revisited a restaurant called Little Tibet I came to with a boy I had an earth-shattering crush on over a decade ago; it's in a little Dutch Colonial house on a block lined with them put to commercial use, and just as cozy as I remember

my travel advice for Terre Haute, Indiana is do not travel to Terre Haute, Indiana

as a veteran road tripper it's hard to piss me off with traffic when I'm in a real place or at least a junction, like yeah, that happens, I get it, but I am never emotionally prepared for it in some place I've never heard of, the fuck you mean I'm in gridlock in MATTOON, ILLINOIS that is not a place

Bethany, Ill.

I like visiting state capitals and capitols, but had never managed to make it to Illinois's before; so hello from Springfield, Ill., a fairly grim city on first impression but a lovely capitol building (and an, albeit vacant, brutalist hot roller shaped tower)

btw these days can be strange and lonely for people that don't have family to speak of or can't be where they want for whatever reason; if you know someone you think might possibly be in a rough spot, you'll do a real good thing by checking in and making sure they know you're in reach if they need

I'm proud of having explored all 48 contiguous states of this union and listen. every one has dusty, run-down, seen better days, etc. but there are exactly two in this country that are utterly, profoundly lacking in taste, good bad or otherwise: Missouri and New Hampshire

Missouri is the only state in America where I have observed it still being utterly routine for someone to roll down their car window and chuck an entire whole payload of garbage directly out of it, with other people around and everything

gm lgbts I got a Dunkin Americano I'm putting on Placebo's "Without You I'm Nothing" and hitting the road

pivoting to being gay and sleepy in Iowa City for one night only

handy for transiting both, sure, but Iowa and West Virginia are unquestionably the two states where the trained eye gags the most at the sacks of pork barrel cash that got four to six controlled access lanes from Fuckville to Shit Rapids dragged across the map

setting the cruise control and ripping ass down a pitch black Midwestern interstate with that oonts oonts club music shit blasting >>>>>>

on the web site for a real store called "Dirt Cheap" that has a large number of locations in the state of Missouri, in America

just realized that today is the day it is and I have to travel away from the comfort of my home, a task for which I have done exactly no preparation

hi, I'm a Certified Personal Trainer Life Goal Achievement Body Wellness Coach Professional, I was credentialed to do this by looking at some videos on my phone and I have a list of extremely suspect dietary supplements that I need you to shove up your piss slit 4x a day

I have technically seen AVATAR (2009) but I was shitfaced drunk at the theater and I honestly think I might have jacked off my boyfriend to completion during it so I don't really remember the picture, anyway I'm gonna see what it is now

no idea how to actually photograph the back of my head but the point is I got my mullet re-layered

lmao gay guys, listen, just because you, as a veteran hole, have an elaborate 37-step ritual involving wind chimes and lavender compresses for preparing your sex chasm to receive a cocking does not mean the dick won't go in there without it. trust me. it will go right on in there, girl. grow up

GO DUKES

this is a great précis. we throw around "irony poisoning" a lot without asking what exactly is so poisonous about irony. Heated Rivalry has a compelling response in putting people face to face over and over, and having them gently but sincerely loosen their pressure valves. it's so human, and humane

went back to the Cub Foods and snagged a tub of MID AM TOP TATER and a bag of Old Dutch Rip-L potato chips at the suggestion of the oomf gallery and yeah this shit is a Minnesota classic for good reason

hey can somebody buy me this black leather cigarette box from Helmut Lang. this is the chic-est thing I've ever seen. it's important that I have this

Jacob Tierney is utterly masterful at television. "Heated Rivalry" is so masterful. I am turning into dust. What a treat. What a joy. What a ride. What a warm thing for my cold heart.

Connor Storrie is from Odessa, *Texas,* not the original Одеса on the Black Sea, and his Russian is so utterly excellent, I'm agog and agagged every time and especially this week

lighting 6 candles for the 6th night of Chanukah plus the shamash plus the candles for Shabbat for a total of nine candles and sitting in my room like this

the numbering system for Minnesota state highways is "there is no numbering system at all, new state highway designations are simply assigned an unused number" and it haunts me. it haunts me deep in my heart

u should be able to take a pic to the gym like at the hairdressers and get a printout of exactly what to do to look like it

oh my god
