been a pretty bad year overall so tbh it only makes sense that the throat cyst that managed to persist thru three failed surgeries decided to pop back up just in time to give me a very painful christmas 😎

why didn't they just call him tim. tiny tim seems a lil rude idk

veterinarian just said they’re going to “assemble a team” so they can cut my dog’s nails. i love this little demon so much

last week i randomly decided to try making a crossword puzzle as a gift for a friend and then gifted it to him like

hmmm it's time we switched focus back to *good* books imo

ok let's all agree to ignore the fact that i have recently purchased something from good charlotte's online store but: is good charlotte's online store really something that needs a points-for-rewards system

friday!!!!! i am going to stay out LATE and have two or three BEERS and see my FRIENDS play great MUSIC and you should come too

is there already an etsy shop that sells booty shorts with mountain goats lyrics on them or do i have to start another project

did you know david spade was nominated for a teen choice award for best actor in this sitcom

oh we are soooo deep in winter depression already

i truly have learned nothing from Beau Is Afraid (every few weeks a random neighbor knocks to let me know i have once again left my keys in the door)

pomodoro technique but using the length of joyce manor albums

feels really cool and normal to keep seeing the "Stop Hiring Humans" AI advertisements on the LinkNYC kiosks whenever i walk around my neighborhood

it’s always sooo nice to do a queer market where we get to talk to tons of hot people about gay books and sell our favorite titles and promote our friends’ work 😭😭

which is why every time you socialize instead of giving in to scrolling alone on your couch you are helping defeat the republican project of making everyone as lonely and afraid of everything as they are. defeat fascism, have a coffee date with a friend

?

i love that our country is divided on nearly every important issue except one: paul dano is a pretty good actor

does anyone happen to know what to get my family and friends for christmas. maybe a dog for each person????

404 Media is making a print zine about the surveillance tactics used by ICE, and how people are resisting this tech. Why? Print media is cool. Also, 404 Media has watched ICE grow from an already horrifying organization into a deportation force that is better funded than most militaries.

does anyone want to come over and watch the family stone

we recently moved the bookshelves to the front of Astoria Food Pantry and ppl have been using them much more which makes me SO HAPPY but also means we need more books! we love donations from neighbors, authors, publishers, (galleys are great), etc. you can DM me or email [email protected]

Have you considered buying a LittlePuss subscription service for your enemies or lovers? Because we would love nothing more than to consistently ship them safe transsexual literature over the course of a year. We don't like to traffic in hyperbole but it's probably the best decision you'd ever make.

we are so close to hollywood doing a "we are all paul dano" campaign

every day i look at my dog and i think, how the hell did you ever survive living on the street

new-ish Sadlands record is also a very good purchase for bandcamp friday: sadlands.bandcamp.com/album/try-to... and Oceanator has new merch (i need the hat): oceanator.bandcamp.com/merch

very glad i actually left my apartment and saw gladie last night, i obviously already loved them but they're even more amazing live (i'm obsessed with their bassist now?!) and the new songs sound SOOO good. also finally bought a vinyl which you can too today :) gladie.bandcamp.com/music

Your pals in Weaklung have new shirts for sale this #bandcampfriday. Please enjoy our bootleg Itchy design. Printed locally here in Chicago. S-XL They will start shipping next week weaklungband.bandcamp.com

now that we have all posted our recaps from various evil streaming services, it's time to think about what records + merch we're going to buy on bandcamp friday tmrw :')

I don't care if a non-disabled person accesses a disability accommodation for the same reason I don't care if a child whose parents are rich gets free lunch at school. We don't need to means test being a kind person. I have better things to do with my time than be a cop over social services.

just remembered when i worked at a big chain pet store and after a particularly hellish Black Friday, we were gathered to get our Holiday Bonuses which turned out to be a company-branded travel coffee mug ... but they didn't come with lids so we couldn't actually travel with them

how quickly the internet forgets

If you're trying to ditch NYT Games, which you should be since their games singlehandedly prop up the entire dogshit rag financially, you should switch to Puzzmo. An annual sub is 50% off today for a crazy $19 and as a bonus doesn't enable the genocides of Palestinians and trans people

good news my friends finally agreed to get matching shirts with me

the funniest AND rudest thing my dog does is if i leave a book on the coffee table, she WILL take the bookmark out of it and lose my page. she won't chew the bookmark. she'll just remove it from the book and drop it on the floor and walk away. why does she hate me

this giving tuesday please give your nonprofit employees a raise

sorry but i absolutely refuse to believe that a higher power exists and that he put me on this earth solely to make graphics in canva

this giving tuesday please give your nonprofit employees a raise

it's red bull advent calendar time
