we all know I have no life, so:

hasn't opened yet but i really hope so. fingers crossed for some kind of savoury thing in a small packet that's a) better than the weird flavour combo has any right to be and b) only available 60% of the time

im level 5 so it actually maxes out if i get a good tram connection

-most relaxing homebound commute
-closest station is getting an IGA with a bottleo soon
-cool doors

"where are u at right now" i am texting my friends "I think it would be cool if hell was real"

this is also me btw (except I am ambivalent about ani difranco)

They put a button labeled "make me mad" in my enclosure and every time I press it I get poked with a pin. I thought there might be a monthly limit or something but so far it seems like you get unlimited presses

this is pretty much how i've been feeling

Most caucuses in Victoria are communist and tacti-cool

God was the original vibe coder (this is why everything is fucked up and bad)

It’s a brick wall that has been buffed repeatedly over time with various colors. Over the mismatched blocks is a crude black spray paint art of Peter Griffin and the cool S. The text reads HEY Lois.”

The Wetland Project has been my favorite alternate-reality radio experience since it began. Since it only happens once a year, you can’t become accustomed to it. Close your eyes and be washed over by the sonic reality of an isolated bog on Saturna Island!

Comic. [Person and person with white hat facing two boxes stacked with $80 price tag and sale tag on each box.] PERSON 1: They want $80 for this?
