Good evening from Chicago

Not to financial market splain but I'm fairly sure things are not going well

THIS. If you’re in central Glasgow tonight please close your windows; if you have to be out please wear the best mask you have available. If you can smell it, you’re at risk.

unironically one of my favorite kinds of chicago weather

This is a good analogy. Very useful in carefully controlled settings for specific usages, but unfortunately being widely inserted into everything and used without training or PPE and poisoning a lot of things and people and we’re going to pay a tonne of money to remove it safely in the future

I think about this ALL the time. I tell every cook I know! Absolutely kills as a dinner party topic! (And then I get to recommend your books 😂)

1-0 for Team USA at the Paralympics.

"i know!" (high-pitched howling noises)

Happy birthday, Chicago!

stores have no idea how much shoplifting takes place, they only know when stock doesn't match records. how much is due to human error, incorrect shipments, breakage, and theft is a guess. literally cannot know if shoplifting is on the rise.

this was a radicalizing discovery for me.

We could feed about 6% of school children school lunch for a year in exchange for 6 days of war.

You don’t truly understand “The Charge of the Light Brigade” until your fussy pampered poodle summons you to the leashes to be taken out into a blizzard and you do it despite knowing she will not do anything if snow touches her bum or the wind blows unpleasantly underneath it.

David Lynch saying ‘One day, the sadness will end. But I don’t think today’s the day.’

Your opposition to war can just be that war is evil. it doesn’t have to be more complicated than that.

From the genius mind that brought you “bananaphone”…a message for our time.

*Homophobically* We need the 4 Day Work Week

If you have parents, adult children, or a spouse who you think can't be trusted to handle your end of life care, please please please make a power of attorney for health care that names someone you trust. It's fine if that's an unrelated friend or a grandchild!

Both knees, many scars from many scrapes! They have become a little less pronounced now that I no longer skin them constantly, & I have aged, but they’re still there & visible!

Like we have always lived in the castle fucking bangs but I HAVE read it. Anyway would also read the typo book probably, if someone writes it!

Screenshot of the beginning of a tumblr post which reads “just read 'we have always lived in the caste' and the book included a like academic discussion at the end and the writer was like 'it's a mystery”

This started, and I was like OH what an interesting play for a name on an academic examination of social structures, maybe I need to go add this to my library qu—typo. Simply typo.

They were SO close & all!!!!

Thousands of institutions abandoned programs, ended or rewrote scholarships, closed down clubs and publications, all in pre-emptive compliance.

And you know why?

Mostly because they wanted to do it if they thought they could blame someone else for it.

You might think a house would run out of improvement-based History Boys references, but you WOULD be wrong. Natalie, goin strong! What a house!

One of the best parts of sustained friendships is you, too, can commit to the bit! Natalie is a very accommodating boss, she always sends in her orders with plenty of time to execute on her vision.
