My angelic 18 year old cat Gracie has but one vice, and that is shredding rose petals until the pollen gives her a sneezing fit (and then going back for more)

if anyone complained about not liking what was for dinner, my mom would say (irritably), “there’s always peanut butter.” but she always stressed the 1st syllable of the second word, like peanut BUtter. She usually said "peanut butter" normally, except, in this phrase, like it had to scan

the janes don’t feel plugged in. unfamiliar

The country of Wales is named after whales, but they have a dragon on their flag due to an apparent mix-up

Mood

i know everyone is super upset about the murder and rightly so, and we know we have known for a long time that things are getting worse and will keep getting worse. there can be no return to normal. but there are good things too, Mamdani is really sticking by this girl
