it’s -8 and I walked around my neighborhood and there were small group candlelight vigils every few blocks, people followed the candles to go commune with others, a woman I’ve never met before said β€œI’m in the purple house and I have soup night every Saturday at 6, just show up”

btw if you’re talking about FUCK ICE but aren’t clearing the literal ice off your sidewalk so your elderly and less mobile neighbors don’t fall, you’re not about the community (this is like 75% of ppl on my block this winter)

my lovely upstairs neighbors made an abolish ice sign for the front of our building and somebody stole it so now we’re all pitching in together to keep making signs so we always have replacements on deck. being friends w your neighbors rules everyone should strive for that

I think I would be more interested in dating men if most of them weren’t looking for a stand in for their mom who they can also have sex with. idk tho

someone on substack made a post about all the words for partner and why they're bad and then someone in the comments offered up "heartner". on the plus side its very easy to go viral on there
