Anyone else noticed an uptick in the use of the word “Buttlord” lately? No? Just those of us with 5 yr-olds?

This mural’s been around for years, and unfortunately, it just gets truer with age.

Hosting a first sleepover for the newly-minted 8 yr-old’s birthday, and way more kids are staying than we anticipated. Help.

By the way, Trump still has not publicly congratulated the U.S. women's hockey team. That seems to be lost in all this. No statement. No social media post. No call to them. Nothing.

Sweet, juicy cantaloupe is the best, but blah cantaloupe is the worst—especially since you don’t know it’s shitty until after doing a bunch of work.

One of the best, saddest songs ever written. Bonnie is one of my all-time favorites.

I always make extra broth—it is the best part! Another controversial opinion: I don’t like crackers in soup bc then they’re all I taste.

Watched #CitizenKane last night prepping for class, and my god, I wonder how many evil people in power used it as a blueprint for life—entirely missing the point. Funny enough, we also talked William Dean Howells’s “Editha” today…

See? Everyone is horrified and disappointed. They feel it speaks directly to your values.

This local Wolfdog joined an Olympic ski event and triggered the finish-line camera. This is Nazgul. He snuck into a cross-country skiing sprint this morning and raced the homestretch with some competitors before being escorted home. 14/10 someone get him a medal

Exactly! Viewers of a certain age recall seeing that decades ago—and remember her getting in trouble for it.

If anyone else out there is battling cramps or a stomach ache, just spin the #pitbull that lives under your bedcovers around and you have a perfect heating pad to spoon.
