at least they share

Fiona hopes everyone’s dogs got lots of fun things to destroy

No. 20 of 41: Hogfather, 1996 “‘You can’t give her that!’ she screamed. ‘It’s not safe!’ IT’S A SWORD, said the Hogfather. THEY’RE NOT MEANT TO BE SAFE. ‘She’s a child!’ shouted Crumley. IT’S EDUCATIONAL. ‘What if she cuts herself?’ THAT WILL BE AN IMPORTANT LESSON.”

my favorite neighborhood decoration

Hey Now You're a Boxcar Full of Children Solve Crimes

accidentally left the house without my sunglasses

Sales still ongoing! Get you a copy! #medievalsky

project 60% done, house looks trashed, energy rapidly fading, right on schedule

knitting practice while watching original Knives Out, v inspiring sweaters

my mom just retired and one of the last things she did for her preschoolers was teach them how to say six seven in Spanish

“It turns out that banishing the slur from public discourse was, in fact, important. Because now it’s back and it turns out that it does matter when subtext becomes actual text, when terrible people enable open hatred and bigotry, encouraging others to emulate them, degrading us all.”

books always help <3

thinking of Mary extra on what should be her 35th birthday if you have a friend you love but lost touch with… call them

actually I changed my mind, I love celebrity boxing matches now. I think everyone I hate should do them, because I'm really enjoying watching the worst people on earth get their shit rocked

seeing an ad asking people not to harass student athletes if they lose a bet if only there were a way to prevent this if there were an industry responsible and whose elimination would also eliminate the problem

got a long list of things to do tomorrow but at least it includes “get donuts”

50% of my friends’ Insta stories are about Heated Rivalry, as they should be

this cat, I don’t know

It says "memorial" on the building but it didn't even happen. How rude.

optometrists should offer a little box you can check off that says you’re going elsewhere for affordable glasses so they can save themselves the spiel

multiple anxiety dreams about a work project so I grabbed my phone in the middle of the night and wrote down all the last-minute fixes to get some sleep woke up, looked for the list so I could use it today, slowly realized it was also a dream 🙃

depressing (but not surprising) how many comments on here are defending 500 harassment calls a day, regular death threats, (including her kids), and more because it happened to a woman who did something stupid, unethical, & hypocritical. zero awareness of why this is bad for everyone. lotta misogyny

TLDR: she was separated and mid-divorce when she went on this first date, and her coworker had told her that he too was separated. the video has led to tons of harassment since then, and it really messed up her kids. she's not the most unfortunate person alive by any means, but this was horrific

Listen, I'm as anti-adultery as the next happily married guy, but this is so extreme that it's silly. Adultery is bad for the people involved, but it really doesn't have anything to do with the rest of us. It's a classic Not My Problem

This is going to trigger another round of abuse for this woman but the basic facts appear to be that she was separated at the time and so was the CEO. She recoiled on the jumbotron because her husband was attending the same concert.

unfair I still have a whole day of work to get through before break

my hometown is in his district and I can say firsthand that he’s full of shit

anyway

(I know that’s actually not a permanent solution and pretending bad things aren’t happening is not a great survival strategy in the long run, but there was nothing I could do about it now.)

I thought I had gotten good at controlling my expression, but apparently only when I wasn’t feeling actual emotions.

Today, @blumenthal.senate.gov pressed three Trump judicial nominees with simple questions about the 2020 election. Watch them dodge and evade. NoCronyJudges.com

I know this is a bold stance in America, but I simply do not believe we should be declaring war on another country for “stealing our oil” when the oil is, in fact, under the ground of that other country

how is Princess Bride even more perfect than I remembered

four more days of work and then I get the house to myself for a week I am going to read sooo many books

it’s indescribably cruel that that man is still here when so many better people are gone

I am just the right amount of lapsed-Catholic-school-kid to love Wake Up Dead Man

finally making myself work on a project I’ve been putting off all weekend, instantly feeling 50% less stressed, won’t learn a thing

my time-saving holiday shopping tip is to just get everybody books. white elephant? book. child? picture book. stocking? small book. i am a neutral & trustworthy source on this subject

catching up on year-end book lists with my library app in one metaphorical hand and my Bookshop wishlist in the other

my little kitty babies are doing their cat food commercial impression and we’re still quite a ways from their dinner time gets less cute after the first couple minutes 😺

Prison for Bovino and friends is the moderate position.

it’s nice when they take an interest

still in the middle of making a blanket I’ll be lucky to use next winter at this rate but this weather is begging for a new scarf

Annnd the tree is growling

I understand-ish why my brain is reluctant to read the last ~25 pages of a book I don’t want to end but this time I literally HAVE THE SEQUEL like RIGHT NEXT TO ME

@durbin.senate.gov alone has voted to advance over a quarter of Trump's judicial nominees - none of whom have been honest about January 6th or the 2020 election.

lol the Post’s little blurb about this weekend’s bar crawl called us “Del Rey”

hello 2025 is still being cruelly 2025 but ✨books✨
