I have a very bad feeling about this...

Honest question: why don’t airports have salons, especially for nails, blowouts/updos/styles, and massages? Feels like a perfect opportunity to take advantage of a captive audience wanting to look/feel their best.

Give me an AI app that scans my fridge and tells the teens what’s there to eat

I love the hum of a snowblower in the morning ❄️

Traveling ✈️? Middle seat gets both armrests. I repeat: MIDDLE SEAT GETS BOTH ARMRESTS. This is absolutely non-negotiable. And if you’re trying to take over the armrest from a middle seater, you’re an asshole.

Photo of an advertisement on the back of a bathroom room advertising a pregnancy resource center and in pen someone has written “they will be no help.” These kind of pregnancy centers spread disinformation about abortion and work to dissuade pregnant people from terminating their pregnancies.

Saw this in the bathroom - uteruses looking out for other uteruses 💯 If I had a pen I would have added “contact Planned Parenthood @ppfa.bsky.social for real help”

Oh no! That wasn’t us - but we had a smell & did double check our detectors as well. Thank goodness for those. Furnaces!!!

Furnaces should not be allowed to break 3 weeks before Christmas 😩

i've been exclusively reading 2024 romance debuts for the past 2 weeks, and let me tell you, it's illuminating.

a woman is holding a dead chicken with the words just shake until the nuggets come out below her Alt: a woman, famed chef Julia Child, is holding a raw turkey with the words “just shake until the nuggets come out” below her

Shout out to all you chefs already hours deep in Thanksgiving prep. I hope everyone does truly help clean up & your naptime is lovely 🦃💪🏻 #Thanksgiving

I Want You To Be Both Gentle and Tough With Yourself A pep talk for the holiday weekend

I want you to be both gentle and tough with yourself. I want you to notice what you need and then take care of it. I want you to love yourself and challenge yourself. And I want you to make your goddamn art. 1000wordsofsummer.substack.com/p/i-want-you...

Sharing my annual Thanksgiving reminders:
▪️There's no reason to comment on someone's body, weight loss, or weight gain
▪️There's no reason to comment on how much or how little food someone eats, or what foods they choose to eat or not eat
▪️Food and exercise don't carry moral value

Hot tub outside: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Hot tub outside in winter: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Hot tub outside in winter in a snowstorm: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

a man in a black shirt stands in front of a turkey mascot Alt: a man in a black shirt stands in front of a person with a raw turkey on their head. He's surprised and scared, shrieking and running away.

Underrated by-product of moving to a different part of the US: the Thanksgiving table is a surprise party. Like WTF is broccoli pie?! Frog eye salad?! Seafood dressing?! Are you guys even celebrating the same holiday as me?!

It’s absolutely the best! Plus - you can season the popcorn to fit the soup genre.

Omg my grandmother did too - and that's how I learned it!!!

a man with glasses and a red jacket says i gotta focus . i 'm shifting into soup mode . Alt: a man with glasses and a red jacket says" i gotta focus . i 'm shifting into soup mode." It's George Constanza, played by Jason Alexander, from famous 1996 episode of Seinfeld called the "The Soup Nazi." It's a gif often used to show the shift to winter, i.e. "soup mode."

Popcorn is a Top 10 soup accompaniment - I think it might even be my fave. Crunchy, fun to chase around the bowl, more fiber. No more crackers.

Imma need some of you to think about thriving out of spite. I had big plans for 2025 and I’m definitely not gonna pre-derail them for likes of Elin and Tromp. I’m getting more involved. Loving harder. Writing hornier. Having more fun. I’m gonna be so kind to my neighbors, bitch.

a house with a sleigh pulled by reindeer in front of it at night Alt: a house gets suddenly lit up by a ton of Christmas lights at night. It’s a scene from National Lampoons Christmas and the main character, Clark Griswold, ends up shorting out the entire neighborhood, with his ridiculous Christmas lights display

The first rule of Christmas lights is: Don’t be stingy with the Christmas lights

a man applauds in front of a #schitts creek watermark Alt: a man with dark hair, actor Dan Levy, applauds and waves his hands, in front of a #schitts creek watermark. He’s illustrating how happy *everyone* is when they can just get to the recipe

Always & forever: “jump to recipe”

How could it be so?
It came without algorithms! It came without tags!
It came without bluechecks, botses, or brags!

What an achievement vaccines are. What a monument to our love for each other it is to stare straight into the face of something as horrific and unstoppable as smallpox or measles or polio or cervical cancer and say “You know what, it doesn’t have to be like this.”

HUMANS!

Netflix needs to stop asking if I’m still watching and start asking if I moved the laundry to the dryer

a woman in a purple dress is standing in front of a sign that says the lost city Alt: a dark-haired woman in a sequin purple dress is standing in front of a sign that says the lost city when a flamboyant hunky man with flowy blond hair bursts into the video frame working too hard to look sexy and cool. She's a romance author, a bit jaded with her life, and he's the himbo cover model for her books. Guess what? They go on a ridiculous, fabulous adventure and - spoiler! - fall in love

PSA: The Lost City is on Netflix and it's a perfect, escapist balm for *gestures wildly* everything right now

I basically told my therapist pretty much what I have said on here: I choose spite. I choose to be gentle because they want me cruel. I choose to embrace community because they want me isolated. I choose to fight because they want me to give up.

I choose joy because they want me scared.

Fuck them.
