I just heard someone say “When you’re born you look like you parents, when you die you look like your decisions”

Let it be known, I chose pizza

Given the inevitable traffic issues, I’m not sure this will be the honor they think it is

Looking forward to hearing things like, “whatever you do, avoid the Trump” 😂

It’s a real pickle: I really do want most people to have a nice life, but wishing them one comes across as strangely aggressive

‘Building connections’: Baton Rouge zine scene promotes accessible self-expression “Everything just sort of goes by on a scroll on the phone,” Sophie Ziegler, a member of the Baton Rouge Zine Club, said. “It’s nice to have small analog things that we can hold on to, that you can use...

I’m working to reduce the number of nouns I need on any given day by referring to everything as an asset

I’m honestly confused. How did the US get so many grifters and goons?

Was this taught in the schools they went to?

I had to study shit like math. How come I didn’t get meaningful life skills like corruption and assholery?

I don’t think I know too many people here who are local to me, but I’m really excited about this so I’m putting it here

We now officially have a Baton Rouge #Zine Club!!!!

Yoda’s death scene. Text: “once I became a parent I finally understood the scene where Yoda gets so tired of answering Luke’s questions he just dies”

A selection of questions the 8 year old asked during a 20 minute car ride

- What does “budget” mean?
- Is a van the same as a truck?
- What’s robotic surgery?
- Is smoking illegal?
- Why do dogs sometimes put their tails down?
