The best any of us can hope for is to put something good and joyful into the world, and she did

I have absolutely no idea what the funniest reason anyone got mad at me this year even could be. If they even mildly annoyed me in my replies, I blocked them and immediately forgot they existed.

i wish i was a cartoon fox so men would find me attractive

in 2026 we're doing it. we're finally calling boobs "chest nuts"

you can see 2 or 3 cruciferous veggies and be like "ok i get what's going on here." not with nightshades buddy

nightshades have the coolest name but it's also nice that they have no organizing principle. those are some random ass vegetables!
