It's the last I cannot stand, these irony-pilled losers who feel embarrassed the moment anyone, including themselves, openly feels or cares about anything. You are part of the societal problem that tells people to treat others as an annoyance. You don't even know yourself, just walls within walls.

If nothing else, at least she's having a bad day.

at the Indiana Dunes they have the fox that said "this edible ain't shi-"

Look, this isn't performative reading. The guy I went to undergrad with who used to lie on a wall outside the english faculty in a velvet jacket reading poetry - that's how you do it

this is what my entire timeline looks like right now

Same as they did to force people to go back to work while still sick and contagious with covid

remember tuesday? that was 86 years ago

These same bums will be asking us for cash at the next deadline; looking forward to sending this back to every Senate fundraising text

Hey @democrats.senate.gov, quick quesh.... wtf is wrong with you?

Just imagining the meeting where they must have been like “they might cancel my flight? Time to kill the sick.”

It was nice to feel positive about political currents for *checks notes* a little less than 5 days

look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry

What is the argument for voting for Democrats for harm reduction if the harm is not fucking reduced

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

sometimes an Oxford comma can make all the difference

Never change, France.

I thought, "Oh I kinda feel like an oatmeal cookie? But also have chocolate chips..." and was going to try this, but I forgot to add the chocolate chips. Whoops. There are dried cranberries though. www.thekitchn.com/how-to-make-...

"why do people love oxygen?" Because it's essential!!

Tech guys six months ago: haha yes we’re cutting all this WASTEFUL spending by eliminating medical research and USAID Tech guys now: yes I think taxpayers will be excited to bailout my non consensual pornography machine

In honor of JCO ethering Elon today, here is the amazing 70s author portrait that was on the back of one of her novels I got at the library sale recently.

It's going to be great. We thought the one-two punch of Llamas on The Lloose and "What color is this dress?" was a good internet day, but...

My theory about Joyce Carol Oates is that all her bad posts are her charging up like Godzilla's spines until she lets loose with a radioactive blast that leaves the world's richest Nazi a pile of ash

Keep Trying #art

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Someone in the @ranchogordo.bsky.social FB group suggested using the flor de junio beans we got in the last shipment w/ this recipe. I have it in the crockpot right now and it smells great. www.budgetbytes.com/not-refried-... (if you're using regular grocery store dried beans, soak overnight first)

I love that the Boston cop slide never got fixed and now people just willingly go down it in tribute. It’s basically a national landmark at this point

Love to spend $130 on groceries and feel like it's not really a "full shop." 😑 I mean, we're fine, we have food and options, but not too long ago, this amount of stuff would be under $100 and package sizes on some would be bigger.

Bad day for like... most of the employees... at my local Target, who are a mostly fine bunch of neurodivergent weirdos just navigating the job as best they can.

Hey @clairewillett.bsky.social

The 2017 version of Little Women is my fav, I think. The miniseries recently popped up on Netflix, but it's on a bunch of services. Angela Lansbury plays the stuffy aunt, and Maya Hawke is Jo. It's great. Missed it when it was new. www.justwatch.com/us/tv-show/l...

I explained the concept of “a band” to my music loving child, and they said they want to be in a band. When I asked what they would call their band, they IMMEDIATELY said, “Rainbows for Grandma,” so I guess they’ve found their calling??

whoops, haven't followed my own plans for #InnocenceReads 🏹 For some reason I thought yesterday was the catchup day, not today, so I guess it's good I built those into the schedule! 😅

Conceding to fascists is a sign of weak moral character, and I am so, so tired of constant displays of weak moral character from people in positions of power. If you can't locate your spine and your principles, you have no business leading anyone.

Re-reskeeting sandwich guy synced with Freedom.

LRT: for real, do not let people ignore the context of that. It's Lynch as the character of Agent Cole giving his response to transphobia among agents with regards to the trans woman who is now the FBI chief of staff. It's a great quote! But it's deliberately about not being a transphobic POS.

New — While some states have received SNAP benefits for November and USDA is supposedly pushing through all federal payments soon, that doesn’t erase the psychological terror of the last few weeks. I spoke with 20+ SNAP recipients in 16 states about preparing for a possible future with no food:

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

People got mad at @tressiemcphd.bsky.social for saying this but she was right… these are not people who are doing politics as if they have even the slightest concern of being re-elected

I could really use some help this month. My goal for the day is one new patron. Any sign ups are very much appreciated. As a patron, you'll support my art and my life. You'll receive positive affirmations from Felmer, etiquette advice from Mothman, & other fun posts. www.patreon.com/jeremycreature

I actually got this news in reverse order

#LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday Believe it or not, I'd never seen Lost Boys until this week. It was fine. Sorry, some things translate better if you were a kid first. Berberian Sound Studio, I'd never heard of before, and though it's not exactly Lynchian, it may scratch that part of your brain.

Just finished. Co-signed completely.

I was peer pressured* into stitching this. *Asked one single time if I was going to stitch it

I think a lot about the story Carl Reiner told: he’d have been a sewing machine repairman if not for a free WPA drama class. That led to other theater work, to Sid Caesar, to Mel Brooks, and all the rest. All because of one free class paid for by a government that felt the arts were worth teaching.

Our politicians did more to regulate Prince and Twisted Sister songs than glacier melting chatbots that promote suicide
