How do you do, fellow cunts?

living in this country is like being awake on the table

To be fair, I just finished Looking Glass Sound. Every time I read a Catriona Ward novel, I start hoping everything will be as complex and compelling, which sets up my next read for failure. Every time. It's like a drug: I just want more of THAT reading experience

Chapter 12 is too late to introduce a POV character into a cheap crime novel. Details ought to be relevant to the characters, setting, or story. Pronouns generally should not obscure nouns.

Fighting for my life against Night Watcher istg

"There's a word for people who use the rhythm method: parents."

It’s wild to me after all these years I still have to remind even close friends that I am literally always on their dog’s side and never theirs. Ever. I don’t care what you say the dog did. The dog is right and you are wrong. You are 100% at fault. And also a nark btw. Maybe try not being a snitch.

it was such a hard time to be a young person trying to get by

empathy and empanadas are two of my favorite things so i'll allow it

ooo i checked the bus schedule and there's one that gets me into town an hour before i need to start work, which will give me plenty of time to grab tea or breakfast from some cute cafe during my 15 minute (one mile) walk

if gas does go up to $15/gal, it's nice to have a pleasant backup plan

In 2008, I lived 75-90 min from my $9/hr job. I drove an 18yo car, not something efficient like a Toyota-- no, I had an Eagle Talon TSI as my daily driver. I was spending $400/mo on fuel for my car just to go to a bad job for criminally low wages

At least now (2008 Redux) I can take the bus to work

Just paid $25 for 6 gallons of gas

Outstanding

If Dolly were to give a press conference and announce she has a surprise, and then tear off her human skin to reveal herself as Trogdora the Burninator, about half of Bluesky (Yr Hmbl Crrspd't included) would immediately swear fealty to her and join whatever crusade she was leading.

i also just learned that and couldn't wait to share it

Spouse says Marco Rubio is just a grown-up Milhouse Mussolini Van Houten and he's right

This is the drink that came with my lunch. It looks like a blood bag and I cannot overstate how awesome that is ❤️

I've been wanting to try that spot for so long, and she chose exactly what I would have ordered for myself, plus an amazing pomegranate limeade

I love you ladies. You are amazing. I want nothing more than for the two of you to live happily ever after, together

I am so blessed with extraordinary friends

Thank you, @anitmata.bsky.social. You're so very kind

And thank you @beneprism.rip for helping

I am full of love and gratitude right now, and I'm about to be full of lunch ❤️

Thank you. I'm not the first person to deal with this, but it's the first time it's affected me so personally

I used to be so careful about people's dietary needs when I was managing an office

This is just careless

Everybody else got delivery. Their food smells so good.

Boss just gave me my lunch budget ($12) in cash so I can "go get yourself a gluten free lunch."

Thanks, Boss. I feel like a freak.

It's employee appreciation day!

They're buying us lunch!

BOSS INSISTS ON THE SANDWICH SHOP THAT DOESN'T OFFER GLUTEN FREE OPTIONS

I feel appreciated 🙄

My shrink is an immigrant, and we had a really good belly laugh about what's-her-face getting fired today

I have never truly laughed with my psychiatrist before

I hope someone makes a scrap book for Kristi Noem of all of the posts we made while we waited for someone to tell her she was fired.

you know what i find hilarious is that there's a whole room full of cops out there getting their time wasted by having to listen to a woman blabber at them and she's not even the head of dhs

i love how much cognitive dissonance they're about to experience

"notifications of individuals who've been released"

WE HAVE A NOTIFICATION FOR YOU, KRISTI

sorry but i'm having a real hard time personally and i got a lotta problems that aren't gonna be super simple to solve

so i like to have a little laugh in between Horrors, as a treat

and this is objectively hilarious, so i hope she keeps talking

They need a vaudeville stage hook to drag her offstage
