This is on par with Kathleen Turner sobbing so hard she needs to blow her nose, but the only thing she can find to use is a post-it note that says “Buy Tissues”

Eventually someone will ask why we always have tiny bouquets of fresh flowers in the mulch by our driveway I’ll then explain that the neighbor kid’s pet fish keep dying, and that she has a better grasp of mourning rituals than property boundaries

Side note: the neighbors go to church and send their kids to a Christian private school, but the eldest daughter mentioned that she got the “cancer vaccine” (HPV/Gardasil) so it was a big relief to find out they’re not anti-vax in the slightest

My neighbor got hers at the same time as her kids at the pediatrician’s office!

On par with finding out that our old neighbors, who included an ex-Marine prison guard, all got the Covid vaccine and wouldn’t let their kids play with any families who hadn’t

Most people do not read history books and frankly probably mostly didn't even read their history books when they were in school. They absorb their sense of history, its imports and its lessons broadly from popular culture. So that popular culture matters and shaping and influencing it matters.

men today have instagram and onlyfans and god knows what else - to say nothing of IRL women who are well fed and notably free of smallpox - and do they appreciate this unprecedented access to beauty??? NO.

Everyone talks about never having a bite of hot food or anything but cold coffee when you have kids, but my deepest pain is only getting to watch 5-10 minutes of a good show at a time.

Both are true: That there are underlying problems of white supremacy, misogyny, and bigotry worldwide, and simultaneously that these are being amplified primarily by outside forces who have our worst interest at heart

Anyone wanting to stop the global rise of fascism must be aware that the issue is simultaneously composed of organic, home-grown bigotry *and* the purposeful manipulation of this bigotry from other countries for their own benefit.

BTW Halloween craft reminder: if you need a bunch of cheap black fabric for a homemade costume, graduation robes are like $6 at second hand stores. You can even use the seams and yokes as the base of a costume and save yourself some effort

I don’t get why they say to glue the clouds when you could just throw in 4 stitches and take the clouds off later without ruining the sweater

This is just to say I have cleaned the raccoon latrine that was behind the doug-fir And which they were probably hoping to use tonight. Forgive me It was disgusting So moldy and so full of roundworms.

We didn’t have any ammonia to pour over the mulch, so I made a spiky fortress of woody lavender branches and rose bush clippings from cleaning up the yard. Try pooping on that ya rascals
