Truly it was a STRUGGLE not to just think of places that were really really cold, because my first three thoughts were, in this order: Antarctica, Nome Alaska, Siberia. Like, just because I hate the cold doesn't mean everyone does /0\
Destination Wedding Antarctica! Destination Wedding Intercourse Pennsylvania! Destination Wedding that lighthouse where they filmed The Lighthouse!! (I'm not creative enough to think of anything truly weird L, they're going to take my weirdo card away 😭)
Google, I was looking through engagement rings for a few hours the other day because I AM HELPING A FRIEND'S PARTNER PROPOSE TO HER. I don't need ads for wedding venues or honeymoon destinations! GOD. (Poor K got caught in my enthusiasm about how great lab grown gems are, but he took it in stride.)
Boy you really know how to sell me on a thing 😍😍😍
Oh god, that is too much! Please call in sick for the rest of the day if you haven’t taken off already ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
I will be in town in October for ConFab - we should totally check the calendar when it gets closer and do something!
I love the idea of the classic Chicago dog being an institution we must respect, as opposed to what it really is, the hot dog of choice for the city of oppositional defiance disorder 😂
Assuming “not for public consumption” can mean “made for me” and not literally “not shown to another human” I’d figure out how to make clothes and learn leatherwork skills for book binding! Basically things that require more time and patience with being bad at than I have while working lol

I do match 3 out of the 4 bolded items, but like. Why exclude audiobooks??? That is just such a baffling choice to me, about half of the parents I know who are able to read with any regularity do so because they can listen to audiobooks while driving or doing chores!
Man, tonight feels like a great night to rewatch that one video essay on YouTube about the wild history of Chess the Musical
“There comes a time in every young person’s life when they start having thoughts about fictional characters. Good news! You never have to out grow that impulse AND you can make lifelong friends while doing it.” 😂
It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for
Ooooh, have all the fun! And if you enjoy bougie chocolate, I can HIGHLY rec Soma www.somachocolate.com
Yes, exactly!! And meanwhile JJ and Cliff are both too into this new relationship energy (not that EITHER of them have ever heard this term before lololol) to even notice that they are freaking Ilya and Shane out SO HARD.
Yes exactly!! Just bros being bros, helping their bros score with each other (and maybe hooking up a bit themselves on the side, you know, just to see what all the fuss is about)
I just read a fic that, seemingly unironically, had Shane say "I know I'm just a white dude" in response to something Carter Vaughn said about it being nice to not just be around white athletes at the Olympics. I'M NOT ASKING FOR A MIRACLE, BUT THE BAR IS IN HELL /0\
*hugs* Don't let the new rowing coach's insecurities about his skills make you doubt yourself. Any leader worth their salt should be HAPPY that the folks under them are excited enough by things to do additional work regardless of the circumstances <3 <3 <3
Oh thank God it was as accident!! I was so sad for a bit yesterday
OMG IT LOOKS LIKE RORO IN CAKE FORM!!
This is SUCH a functional website - I keep getting the noise notifications on my phone that I've got DMs but I can't read them or even see who they're from because apparently the age verification thing is down? WHY IS THIS AN ACTIVELY RUNNING COMPONENT surely there aren't THAT many Benjamin Buttons?
This must be a different work norm than I've ever worked in, because, uh. I mostly have bosses get confused if I AM working on my birthday? Like folks who have birthdays that fall around deadlines usually get the "You are taking the Friday after/Monday before off, right?" follow up if they AREN'T.
Yes, exactly - YOU GET IT!! We can have BOTH Cliff & Ilya bromance AND JJ being a well rounded human! C'mon fandom, walk and chew gum at the same time!! (Also yessssssss \0/)
(It was especially glaring in the fic that prompted this post, because the focus of that one was a really adorable BFF relationship between Ilya and Cliff Marleau, and like. WHY DOES THE WHITE DUDE GET 70K OF BACKSTORY AND NUANCE AND THE BLACK DUDE GETS SMEARED AS A BIGOT WHO NEEDS TO DO BETTER???)
RIGHT??? JJ was so fucking SWEET about his bff having a crush on a "straight" dude and Shane just went "Oh yeah, this is a good cover for us" INSTEAD OF TELLING ONE OF HIS BEST FRIENDS IN THE WORLD THE TRUTH. Fandom, Shane is an EMOTIONALLY CONSTIPATED MORON here, not the woobie needing protection.
hurtful shit he knew would be hurtful. Then he cooled down and apologized. Obviously I know this is racism, but JFC. You're telling me you wouldn't be hurt if your best friend kept an important part of themselves from you for A DECADE. You've never reacted badly to something important? REALLY???
Dear Heated Rivalry fandom, I am just never going to understand your compulsive need to make JJ worse than he is in canon. The emotionally constipated hockey player lashed out when it turned out that he wasn't as close friends with the person that he considered to be one of his best friends and said
The classroom down the hall is playing Sandstorm loud enough that I can hear it through their closed door. It's not bothering me, but it DOES make me want to knock and find out what on earth they're watching 😂
OMG A PUBLIC TRANSIT INFRASTRUCTURE. Man, what’s THAT like? 😍 (obviously I kid, Chicago has a very good infrastructure, although hilariously some people would still tailgate by their cars parked on the street despite the MANY MANY bars in walking distance of Wrigley.)
Wait, does that mean that soccer around the world doesn't like to hang out with their friends before a game? Or are they just doing it in like bars and other places instead of in the parking lot like weirdos?
