lrp, that does include some of you. not judging, just informing. check.

Reminder that if you block someone on bsky, it doesn’t unfollow them for you. Your friends may not be truly following him (and you may not have spared yourself the wrath of people unfollowing anyone who appears to follow him). Unblock, unfollow, block. He’s a weasel.

I never liked her as an alderperson but I especially don't like her as a mayor.

I stand by those ratings. Mostly. Maybe. #lastfourwatched

These fucking rule. I'm going to regret eating them all the time. foodsocial.io/recipe/copyc...

My parents watch The Daily Show. I don't have a lot to worry about.

Shannon!!

Idunno, the dog mom thing in mother's day is weird. I love my dogs, i call myself mama to them. I am not a mom on mother's day.

I would really like a phone review that doesn't tout the AI "features" embedded in it. Tell me if the phone is fine without, if I can remove that, ignore it.

But such outfits offend people — really offend people — because people don't think of clothes as anything more than consumables. It's notable to me that the Met Gala gets compared to the Hunger Games, whereas such criticism is rarely levied at the Oscar's red carpet or the Super Bowl halftime show.

If you know someone didn't ring up two items in your cart (over $10), do you go back to correct it?

Left my apartment for good. Hardest thing I've had to do so far. Cried listening to The Cranberries on the way to my parents' house. Gonna miss south city so much, even while visiting frequently. Hopefully not gone for long. Ok gonna cry myself to sleep now.

Found a video of someone visiting the St. Louis Zoo to understand how it's so good and somehow free. Taxes. Solved it, you're welcome. Tax the rich.

I may regret saying this one day but thank all the gods I never have to get another paper bank statement or tax document. I'm up to 3 bags of shredded paper. Just for like 5 years of stuff.

You know what I WON'T miss about South City? the fucking dickheads drag racing down every road. Middle of the day, middle of the night, loud engines all the time.

The same Reese who told us to buy NFTs? How'd that go?

There's probably something about a convert in the US being familiar w/the idea that, in most situations, they can climb a hierarchy by talking enough. Then when they try to climb the Catholic hierarchy, they can't go anywhere because they aren't ordained, they can't talk their way into leadership.

This is the correct answer

I mean, if he wants to create a schism, let him. We're already doing all kinds of history speed runs.

Inject it into my veins

the funny thing about sending jd vance out to do sensitive diplomatic negotiations is he has literally no experience. like, none whatsoever. he doesn't even have related experience in lawmaking or some executive role.

"but won't it still be bad after IT happens?" Let me tell you how incredibly easy it is to bully the next guy.

"Planet Earth, you are a crew." 😭😭😭

I should have studied so much harder. I might have if I knew NASA was an option. Also Adderall...

My friend and I very ceremoniously ended our passes the day this launched at our drafthouse, right in the parking garage. (We were going to end it anyway.) I remain grateful for our local indie theaters but damn. It sucks to have to return to normie theaters, esp for long movies.

They got new ones.

currently plotting my meals for an upcoming trip. that's how desperate i am to hang onto something positive - amtrak cafe car menus lol

Trains. Right?

omg someone help mission control's flowers!

all these universities kept axing medieval history departments as if they thought tyrants beefing with the Pope was going to stop being relevant

I don't really want to support anything that comes out of that "news" site but jesus h christ. I didn't want to live multiple *centuries* of history.

This is miserable. Not pictured - a spam call via google meet.

I gasped and I cried. The ultimate selfie.

I'm not crying, it's just the moon dust.

More cooking classes in queer-owned spaces.

Good Friday traditions

A fun little run of movies

I don't know her real birthday but was told it was sometime in the spring, April likely. So this is officially a 17 year old pug, my old lady Frances.

Had a blast recording this, and so happy to have created such a definitive list on the topic of nuns!

Was talking to a coworker today about the impending move to the burbs (forced, short term) and how I'm anxious about feeling stuck inside (it is very out there). His rec? Be MORE online. Sir, I need you to understand all the effort I put into being LESS that and how bad being online is for me

The guy tweeting about how anyone who moves to Chicago is a gentrifier is engaging in a practice known as "trolling," which is somewhat common on social media platforms. Please make a note of it, you dorks

Please enjoy this incredible "Fuck Robert Moses" rabbit hole I went down

Digital video being so widely available has show that there are so many people who do not know how to talk with their hands. It is an art and this person is an artist.

The wait begins

I just want to crawl in a hole and die. Is that so much to ask?

Jfc you don't all have to quote dunk the twitter screenshot of the day. I fucking hate it here. Let it gooooooo ffs

Seeing discourse, thinking "I have no idea what the fuck you're talking about", and clicking away instead of trying to interpret. That's growth.

Google, I assure you I mean "were" not "we're".
