I've probably spilled worse, but the most tragic was a full glass tray of brownies, hot from the oven. Glass and gooey brownie everywhere, and no brownies to eat 😭😭😭

My baby brother got married today and it was the sweetest thing ever. I love my new sister in law so much 😭😭😭

This is a long shot but do any mutuals know someone flying from Boston to Phoenix tomorrow? My friend is trying to repair a car but there’s a part still in Boston.

Saying John’s part in an impossibly thick Chicago accent in my mind for the full effect.

Here's an oldie-but-goodie thread I did about that raw milk farm that's in the news right now.

You know what's crazy? This guy sells almost everywhere in the US EXCEPT MINNESOTA. Minnesota's public health dept is famous in the food safety world for being #1 at tracking down the source of outbreaks- way faster than any other state. What an interesting coincidence!

My homeschooling teacher advisor who said she thought I wouldn't be able to graduate (she tried to get me to just test out of school), and then said I would fail the college English class I tested into at the local community college when I was 16. I graduated early and I got an A in that class.

Female birds with confusing names.

Foreign policy experts say that the United States is suffering a humiliating defeat in Iran. A guy who shits himself in public and thinks windmills cause cancer says the war is a glorious victory. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Stapler Not The Same Since Tasting Human Flesh

"Google is killing and eating children and they're making me watch. It's horrific." "Maybe you should switch to a diff--" "Nah, it's all good, I just found a hidden setting where I don't have to watch the children being killed and eaten anymore. Problem solved." Me no understand people.

Starbucks done EFFED up in Korea. Bad. May 18th just passed, Democratic Movement Day, when rose up after the military dictatorship sent tanks to mass-murder citizens. Some inappropriately call it "Tank Day." Starbucks commemorated Tank Day with a sale on tank tumblers. It gets much worse...

After a very long month I have finished my second semester at Berkeley, attended my third EDC in a row, and become basically nocturnal. Those three things are related.

How indirectly are we talking? Moving to the US when I was 4 definitely changed things. Signing up for a class in 2016 was big. Attending community college when I was in high school is indirectly how I met my partner. Most of it really can be boiled down to relocations and school.

When I got into Berkeley I planned to post something about it on "the grid" as it were, giving it some permanence and letting distant family know. Then I decided to wait until I had finished a semester to make sure it was really really real. But then I finished a semester and just felt tired.

all my friends in higher education love to complain about having to use the awful grading software, but now that someone's doing something about it you're just complaining about NOT being able to use it? some people are never happy

Something I call the Bean Index. It’s a measure of how fast you can cook a pound of dried beans. The less time, the higher the stores stock turn over.
