I think Vinagrette Went to Therapy is more of a Wes Anderson film than a stripper name

I feel like you would enjoy the etymology of the Middle Egyptian word seer, sr, which is spelled with a giraffe 𓋴𓂋𓃱 because they literally see further!

Today's emotional support fact
from tumblr user exeggcute: I need a polite and effective way to say "hey your heart is truly in the right place and your anger is often righteous but I think sometimes you’re getting recreationally mad about things that are frankly not worth the amount of energy you’re spending on them, and every time you do this you're driving yourself slightly more insane with nothing to show for it," and then I need a way to broadcast that message through a loudspeaker to roughly 30,000 people at once, and THEN I need a time machine to send that message to my past self lol. and maybe a second time machine in case past me tries to be clever and sabotage the version of me who comes through the first time machine
good post

Time sensitive: this is the last day to submit comments opposing the Bureau of Land Management's clearcutting of Oregon's ancient forests. This is a tool that educates you on just how diabolical it is, and it helps you submit your comment. morethanjustparks.com/oregon-old-g...
Fully funded! Thanks y'all, and if you want even more goodies there's still time to get some cool upgrades
user abbiistabbii: The Germans really cooked making "Hobbyless behaviour" an insult. It is both devastating, applicable to a wide range of people and behaviours, and doesn't resort to swearing. Man ranting on the internet about the Superbowl halftime show or complaining that something is "woke"? Hobbyless Behaviour. Girls mocking another girl for not looking right? Hobbyless Behaviour. Mindless vandalism? Hobbyless Behaviour. It is more powerful than "get a life" or the English "You're Sad" because it gets to the central point of the matter, and that is wonderful. Danke, Deutsch.
I don't normally subscribe to the "German has a word for it" thing because all languages can invent and borrow new words!
That said, I can't stop thinking about "hobbyless" as an insult since I saw it a few days ago, so here you go
It promotes a growth mindset!!

OK so this young trans gentleman was cut off by his parents, has been unable to get MIT to up his financial aid, has been working multiple jobs while maintaining an A- average AT MIT (no one does this), but he is gonna need to actually pay his tuition to graduate: www.gofundme.com/f/help-matth...
Honestly preferable, when does he start
Deep pinkish serene fox with looser and yet looser squiggles
Complex but stupid yellow ambulance with pink pastelly ness and two monkeys sitting on top of it . Finished while listening to James O’Brian interview Gary Lineker
A wax pastel fox sort of squinting and having interesting glyphic qualities
I’ve added a fox, a monkey ambulance and a fox (drawings) to my website so people can have small but miraculous art if they want it

To me, the widower + haunted coral reef has the least to do with the later unifying theme of love, dystopia and your worst self, whereas I feel like the other three exemplify it much more evocatively. I might instead suggest starting with the school lunch debt descriptor since that one feels timely!
From my readings this week (Sameroff, A. (Ed.). (2009). The transactional model of development: How children and contexts shape each other.): whoops!
Introduce a new smash bros character you cowards
Ahh happy belated birthday!
