- You loved playing “Allergies or COVID?” Now get ready for “Mosquito Bite or Monkeypox!”
- Oh my god. Oh my god. *breathes into a paper sack* If you have rabies symptoms, it’s too late. You are gonna suffer one of the worst deaths known to man and there is no power on earth that can save you.*
- Since apparently people have decided to slag on Waffle House today, allow me to say a few words, as a transplant to the South, about this institution. Waffle House goes harder than 99% of us will ever go in our lives.
- I told doctors for years I was tired all the time, to no avail. They told me to just power through it and stay awake. One literally told me that “some people just need more sleep than others.” Eventually my husband was like DO YOU KNOW YOU STOP BREATHING AT NIGHT?!
- This was such an amazing burn that I wanted everyone else to savor it with me.
- *beats head against desk* No. It. Isn’t.
- Talked to middle school student today who informed me that their school had a mural of famous women. A certain TERFy author face was eventually painted over “because we’d all kinda kick it whenever we went by, til there was a dent in the wall.”
- God, I love being a regular. The owner of the Greek place just came out to make sure I only wanted one dolmas instead of the usual five, and I explained that Kevin was out of town so I couldn’t eat them all by myself. He gave me two anyway, because I will not starve on his watch!
- O best beloved, if you are doomscrolling Twitter today, ask yourself if there is anything you can personally do. If there is, do it. If there isn’t, remember that anxiety is not activism. Your misery does not improve the world a single iota.
- MY COUSIN: I tried to read one of your books and couldn’t. ME: That’s fine! Tastes are very individual— COUSIN: No, no, it’s absolutely brilliant, my friends love it, but in my head it sounds EXACTLY like when we used to give you too much sugar when you were five. ME: …fair.
- Don’t try to gaslight me with this “belief” stuff, I’ve dealt with printers.RESISTENTIALISM is the belief that inanimate objects can display malice or spitefulness towards people.
- If you’re ever feeling guilty about not cooking a fresh home-cooked meal, a reminder that people in cities historically either had cooks or ate at food stalls, going back to Ancient Greece. Ancient Egypt, too, although since everybody ate bread, beer, and onions, less of a thing.
- So I was on Tumblr and saw a post go by about how TERFs keep getting worked up about, say, intersex chickens, and someone else commented not to tell them about white-throated sparrows, and being me I immediately launched into OMG LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE SPARROW WITH FOUR SEXES
