That actually isn't feasible for people who live in areas where amazon has driven out basic necessity stores. People lacking transportation/having disabilities and on fixed incomes often have to price point shop and amazon deliberately caters to that in the same way that the dollar store does.

I got a good grade in therapy today 💪🏻

I am super obsessed with how this is practically a cartoon animal sneaking by camouflaged as a bush. 🤣🤣

I should be getting a big order of solo ttrpg stuff today and I’m excited to look at them, put them in a pile somewhere, and never play them. (I might play them 😆 but, just like with books, the collecting is the part that gives me the dopamine boost.)

Someone please mash up Narcissus and the Portrait of Dorian Gray into the tale a demented man who thought to see his own magnificence reflected in, well, a Reflecting Pool and instead saw failure and algae and decay.

"Be beige, not rainbow" is the outcome of librarians saying libraries should be neutral. We cannot and are not neutral, and we gotta stop insisting that we are. At this point, it is part of the book ban playbook.

Just a reminder that if you’re a living queer over ~40, you’re a freaking survivor, no matter when you came out. We are now, many of us, well past the ages so many of our fallen ancestors weren’t able to reach. Ageism has no place in queer liberation or feminism. Stamp it out.

he has lived in this house for eight years but still enters every room with the confused energy of a substitute teacher who has just learned there is no lesson plan

lmao poor yorick. they got his ass

“because i made poor decisions” is a really important part of this. there’s no room in this world to fuck up and fail, and that’s, in my opinion, a real problem.

Know what TV show actually wouldn’t get made today? The Twilight Zone. Half of these fuckin’ episodes are about fascism.

If you need a little bit of a mental reset, may I suggest vibing out to this polar bear having a grand old time swimming in the sun to Enya. I’m not sure who is having more fun: her chasing after random vegetables or me trying to film her. #mammals
