Heroine Addict

In my head the words sound close enough that I understood this as "brassiere" and had so many follow-up questions but also get it girl.

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

I dated a guy that didn't believe in the moon landing. The relationship lasted longer than that discovery.

Dark painting in classical style, depicting a woman in a white dress with her back facing the viewer, wrapped in red fabric. The face of a man peaking through the darkness, near the woman's bleeding neck.

Book mockup of the first illustration.

The Dracula cover I worked on is finally revealed.

I am very stoked about this project, because doing a cover art for a classical book is a dream I didn't know I had, and also because they agreed to have the cover art minimalistic and elegant, and I AM SO HAPPY ABOUT IT.

I've got a pocket, got a pocket full of baklava

There's an America's Next Top Model documentary and that's going to be my whole personality for a while.

Photo of two cakes side by side. Both are a braided roll, with frosting on top. There are green purple and gold sprinkles.

I had to make my own King Cake this year like some kind of savage. Living in the wilds.

During my training there was a duck crossing the road. The instructor saw my eyes go wide and put a hand over to steady the wheel.

"That's a dead duck right?"

I get that he just didn't want me swerving off the road, but 15-year-old me was practically in tears when I said "yes...."

A screenshot of a restaurant named " Thai food near me"

The search engine optimization of this Thai place is off the chain

Guy on my tram has a sign on his phone that says "Ticket inspection on board" that he's flashing at everyone who boards so that they tap on and don't get fined.

True hero. Nobel prize material here.

All together now, WAS THAT PEDRO PASCAL?

JD Vance getting booed, as called around the world (auto transcribed & translated, mostly):

A kid passed me the ugliest origami swan you've ever seen after an interview and I had to declare it to my boss.

Me seeing "tag friends" and not really processing it: Is marine biology just sharp laser tag?

Brown Sugar Kitchen in Oakland. They had a corn meal waffle that I still dream about. And the smoked pork hash 🤤 Business was a COVID casualty.

A quokka sits on its hind legs, front tucked to its chest, looking at the camera.

Quokkas are rats with good PR and I love that for them.

Really wish Australia would decide whether the restaurant will bring the check to your table or not.

When I worked conferences our instructions were " hold it like a news anchor not a rapper"

I do like the Andy Weir books, but they are very much just a nerd having a really cool hypothesis and then spending 300 pages explaining it to you.

It's also a modern way of gathering intel. What you're searching for people saying, "oh my God a bomb just dropped on X" and then you know you hit your target.

Well shit.

My dumbass brother decided to go snowboarding in Denver and got altitude sickness. Rather than go to the hospital as recommended he decided to fly home to Pennsylvania; where, let me be clear, they have absolutely no specialization in altitude sickness.

He's in the hospital now. 🙄

Me every time I open Netflix: I thought we cancelled [comedian]? Why do they have a special from 2025?

One of orson scott card's lesser known books, the redemption of Christopher Columbus, posits what the future would be like if he had gone on a crusade instead. It makes the case that the timing was right and the powers that be basically had a 50/50 chance on where to send him to get rid of him.

In search of a man who likes to take Xmas decorations down and wants to date me for like three hours.

Me: The worst thing you can do for my hair is exactly what I ask for. I know nothing.

Stylist at next chair: You are like the best client.

Me (thinking): *I'm getting a good grade in getting my hair done! A thing I did not know was possible and is definitely healthy to strive for.*

If I remember correctly, he had actually left the hall because they do the vote alphabetically and he wanted to be last so that everyone would have to wait for him and he could be the deciding vote.

I remember watching this live and it was one of the funniest fucking things I'd ever seen
