And where there was only one set of giant footprints, that is when Sasquatch carried me.

This Is Just To Say

I have turned off

Fuck you
they were stupid
so unnecessary
and so annoying

Such a bizarre turn for her!

Not exactly, but I have a desert island playlist. Songs that are important to me or make me feel like no other songs do.

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly

Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

The best part of SNL UK is watching the political cold open, almost vaguely kinda understanding the references, and feeling way too smart about it.

Your near daily reminder that calling and emailing and being fucking annoying to your reps, regardless of party, changes shit. It does and it will.

Frank Herbert I apologize for ever doubting you

not many people know this, but Barilla has a line of 3D printed pasta it sells mostly to the fine dining industry. I don't want the pasta. I want the pasta printer

In Turkey, an elderly man who earns his living by shining shoes is visited every morning at the same time by a cat that asks to have its fur brushed. The man never turns down this little friend.😍👍💙

HAPPY TASKMASTER PREMIERE DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE

you clearly don’t understand, a ceasefire is when nobody is allowed to be mad at me

Girl. Things are bleak.

Scrolled back through 14 years of Instagram for receipts of my SWTOR bona fides. A friend of a friend got me into the one year anniversary party. If you’re thinking, “She looks like a poser who has never completed a class story” you are correct but I have fun.

Playing PokemonGo from bed like a trapdoor spider.

I love it so much.

It’s for my ✨ mental health ✨ and it’s working.

I’ve bought three things just for pleasure since being laid off. The most recent may be the most important: the entirety of Star Trek: Lower Decks.

Good livin’.

I Work Very Hard, And I Would Like To Try Cake By A Horse Hello. I am a horse. I work very hard at my job of being a horse. When humans say move the heavy thing, I move the heavy thing. When humans sit on top of me and pull on my head, I carry them where they want to go. The main food the humans give me is hay and oats. But I am thinking it would be nice to have a different food. I am thinking I would like to try cake. Yes, yes. Cake. I know all about it. When humans eat cake, it is in glad times. It is the food for a celebration, such as when a woman becomes 47. I have seen cake on the Fourth of July. When humans have a cake, they stand around it and clap hands and smile and say happy birthday at each other. Sometimes there are beautiful markings on a cake, such as balloons or a pink shape. Sometimes the top of a cake is on fire and a boy must blow on the fire with mouth wind. This is the scariest cake. I do not want this kind. But I will eat any other cake. Any cake that is not the fire cake that tries to kill the boy. Please understand: I do not get money for doing work. I do not get to go inside the house. All I am either doing my horse job or standing in my pen or eating food off the floor. I always do these things. But I have never once gotten cake and I would like it very much. I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children. I am more helpful to the farm. Children do not move the heavy things like me or let anyone ride on them. And yet they get cake. Maybe the humans will realize this. Maybe they will say, "You know who deserves cake? That horse. That horse whose back we are always on." Every day I dream about what it will be like if I get to eat cake. Here is what will happen. First, I will walk to the cake and putt my nose at it like hrrfff to make and stomping my hooves to make sure it is not a snake. Then I will trot in a circle to show that I am a horse and I am large. After that, I will nuzzle the cake to …

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me.

It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

This applies to writing too. The struggle is where you learn the important stuff

It’s tough to see someone else living your dream

I do not have the energy to get mad that Trump only seems to be firing women from his administration. I wish he could fire them twice.

Tight close up of Denise Gough as Dedra Meero doing her signature frown. She should win awards for this scowl.

My face when there’s no more Andors.

Emotionally, 5 seasons may have been too much.

It’s lovely that many first-generation Americans feel pride in securing citizenship under the 14th Amendment, but I think it’s important to understand that they became citizens the exact same way as an American born here to descendants of the Mayflower. There is zero constitutional distinction.

We finally watched Andor and it was so good. The problem is I now want to watch five more Andors.
