HIM???

Guy talking loudly about Christ on the train and I can’t help but wonder how weird this obsessive devotion must’ve been for people who knew him socially. “Are you guys talking about Josh? Joe’s son? I lived next door to him! He never transformed any of MY water into wine, I’ll tell you that much”

We love a glass cliff around here don’t we folks? We just line the ladies up on the edge and…

“The wegovy of it all”

An essay from the cut: Losing My Friend Over Wegovy: She hid her semaglutide use, knowing that I would spiral. She was right; we haven't spoken since.

The cut simply cannot keep getting away with this

Realizing my catholic high school was somehow more progressive than the state of Utah because we read The Bluest Eye. Wild

Occasionally I get a recruiter sent my way and without fail they start excited and end without even bringing me for a proper interview lmao my career is dead!

Also it was so so funny the AAA guy who came out just put a hanger type thing through my door somehow and pressed the unlock button inside the door. I was trying not to sob and then he just pressed the unlock button. what kind of sorcery….

“It’s no big deal to miss a flight” the AIRPLANE I was SUPPOSED TO BE ON has just LEFT ME BEHIND???

I missed one once because I locked my keys in my car. I cried a lot even tho I was able to take the next flight four hours later and it hasn’t happened since, I cannot handle that stress level

An AI generated image of "Koru Suburb," a riff on the "Roku City" screensaver on roku devices. it depicts a bleak, desolate American suburban wasteland. Foreground: a shuttered strip mall with flickering half-dead neon signs, a vast empty parking lot with faded yellow lines and a lone shopping cart. Midground: a dark closed big-box store, a fast food pylon sign with several letters missing, utility poles with tangled wires. Background skyline: a water tower, a cell tower, and the underside of a highway overpass.

Everyone wants to live in Roku City, but I woke up last night and couldn't get "Roku Suburb" out of my brain so now you have to witness an approximation of it

NEED

Not yet!! the trailer for the latest movie makes me want to check it out tho

Hell yess

Most prequels are unnecessary but I do appreciate Suzanne Collins’s commitment to “the adults in the hunger games were pretty fucked up. Here’s why.”

People still mad Kamala tried to rope in the Nikki Haley voters with Liz Cheney and Country Over Party, because it didn’t work, because republicans vote for republicans.

A beautifully plush quail. The text below: The California quail, our state bird, is an exquisitely round creature. Abundant throughout the western half the state, they prefer the ground, scurrying about in large groups that seldom take flight. Stylish black tufts adorn their foreheads, and the feathers across their bellies are arrayed in the colors of a California sunset. A couple weeks ago the photographer Christian Howard captured a great close-up of a quail looking fabulous in Point Reyes National Seashore.

Ok same???

idk listen to adoptees and liberals wouldn’t constantly find themselves in this weird position of using adoption as a gotcha against conservatives, thus tacitly defending a decades-long right wing project to steal children from parents they consider undesirable to give them to white evangelicals.

We’re going to a spa next weekend for our anniversary and I hope I make it

This was a personal favor. Her stepsons didn’t want her to get any of their father’s estate.

It’s like the third Friday in a row where I’m tempted to call off. I’m not because I already did that two weeks ago. Four day workweek when

Absolutely hilarious that my hometown was profiled by the New York Times and they still got in some Vallejo slander

Now to explain to my child who Lovecraft was—

I bring a sort of Forbidden Vibe to InternalServerError that Rate Limit Exceeded don't really like

trying to post through it rn

That is what’s up

Cutethulu

A minion looking at a small green, vaguely octopus like creature.

Important to let bluesky know that the next minions movie has a cute Cthulhu in it
