We do not have to live like this.

"And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire's authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege. Remember this. Try."

I am another mayo hater who only keeps it around for grilled cheese. It is far superior to butter for that specific use case.

lying about it happening on april fool's day: mean-spirited, hurtful, not funny at all

it actually happening on april fool's day: possibly the funniest thing of all time

Ugh, same*. This is what I get for posting right before bed.

Eyes of the Dragon, The Guardsman and any V.C. Andrews, some with all my mother's romance novels.

I mean, Spiders Georg is definitely made up, but I'm sorry to say Naomi Wolf is both real and horrible

If you do want to know about Spiders Georg, here you go! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiders...

Im not stressed, im simply a person experiencing 2026

Turkey, stuffing, Mac and cheese. I like what I like.

What a weird person to have known and liked two decades ago. I didn't think I'd be thinking of her at 40, but here we are.

So yeah, the past few days have been incredibly weird, as I married the smart girl I thought would positively change the world with the intensely conservative anti feminist essayist. I'm glad to have heard Moira's takes from this episode, as they helped me figure this out, but it still hurts a bit.

Like I was the theatre and GSA kid who pivoted toward goth and punk culture, but we were still cool. Her mom used to drive me home. She lived a block away. We talked about Elvish and fairy tales. We listened to Rent. It's always been incredibly odd that she turned out this way in my opinion.

I knew Helen. It's been years, but I find it hard to reconcile who she was to who she became.

I loathe what she became. I have no idea what she encountered in college, but I listened to @inbedwiththeright.bsky.social twice today, and it's stil a matter ofl cognitive dissonance to reconcile them.

I'm very sorry for your loss. She personally impacted multiple people I work with who knew her and Jennell, and the loss is a real blow for all of them, too. I wish I had known her, seeing all the lovely words people are saying about her. 💚

I'm sorry, and a correction, Helen's father and sister have passed, but I don't know about her mother. Got my wires crossed there, and I apologize.

Like, her mom (who has since passed away, sadly) was a liberal/leftist second-wave feminist hippie type, and it's incredibly weird to see what Helen became at and after Yale. I still have a copy of Grimm's Fairy Tales she lent (oops) to me in like 2001. It's truly bizarre to read her current stuff.

I'm coming to this late because I don't check bsky as often as I should, but I went to school (Enloe High, class of 2003) with Helen, and we rode the same bus.

The more I've watched her over the years the weirder it's gotten, as the Helen I knew got me into protest music and the Elvish language.

oh my god they actually did it lmao

When they're babies we had to discourage them from hanging off our necks and arms with their prehensile tails because we don't want them to try that when they weigh 70+ lbs.

Honestly I'm 40 and didn't think I'd recall this stuff. Do you want facts about binturongs or kinkajous or large cats? I'm your girl.

He is seven years my junior and I'm an elder millennial! What is this shit?

Also as soon as she mentioned the tiger Romeo, my autistic ass started spitting facts about him that I learned when I was 12. He was half a ton! His paws were the size of dinner plates! He had a whole acre to himself! (Why do I recall this? Neurodivergence.)

One of the women in my happy hour group also grew up in Cary, NC (we even worked at the same mall, which has since become the Epic Games campus), but we knew no one in common.

Tonight, we discovered we know the same tigers, as we both did stuff with Carolina Tiger Rescue. I find this hilarious.

WATCH: “Holy f*ck — They literally just shot her point blank… I live here…”

@lapdhq shoot a woman trying to get to her apartment at point blank range with a rubber bullet.

I saw "have pride June" out of order to the other skeets and was like "yeah, June is Pride month, obviously. We're all gonna have a pride June"

I might be very tired.
