It's happening

Good news.. it gets slightly worse consistently, over time!

TBF, it’s not a fair fight

I was at the game last night and someone in the stands yelled out “yo Embiid ain’t got no socks on” and it was so damn funny

Thanks for this. One of the things I grieve about the loss of the old place is the art, ideas, and people that I was turned onto just by scrolling. Life changing stuff.

A screenshot of Maggie Smith's "Good Bones" Life is short, though I keep this from my children. Life is short, and I’ve shortened mine in a thousand delicious, ill-advised ways, a thousand deliciously ill-advised ways I’ll keep from my children. The world is at least fifty percent terrible, and that’s a conservative estimate, though I keep this from my children. For every bird there is a stone thrown at a bird. For every loved child, a child broken, bagged, sunk in a lake. Life is short and the world is at least half terrible, and for every kind stranger, there is one who would break you, though I keep this from my children. I am trying to sell them the world. Any decent realtor, walking you through a real shithole, chirps on about good bones: This place could be beautiful, right? You could make this place beautiful.
