I’ll say it: it shows what disgusting pigs Americans are that they eat their cheesecake right there at the factory instead of waiting for it to be delivered to a store or restaurant

When I say I love Cheesecake Factory, I mean this cat who was found malnourished and wandering through a Bay Area mall parking lot. Cheesecake Factory has since been rescued and nursed back to health. He's now healthy, vaxxed, & sweet, but still needs a loving home www.petfinder.com/cat/cheeseca...

I was at a fancy bath house last week in the jet pool, and this woman walked in, saw the red emergency stop button and just punched it. It all stopped and she looked sad all the sudden and said outloud, why would they have a button if I can’t press it? Gonna think of that moment for a long time!

After steeping myself in all things Yellow King, what struck me on this rewatch was how deeply its mythic time beyond time references Symbolism and the Pre-Raphaelites, right down to its 1890s title font.

try this handy mnemonic, it’s so simple

Raven dropped a crucifix on our bug zapper and now instead of killing, it zaps new bugs into existence. Fleshy arthropods. Throbbing, greasy millipedes. Butterflies with scorpion tails and mantises that speak their prayers. We should turn it off but it's way up high and the ladder is in the shed.

Built as a set for silent films in 1920, THE WITCH’S HOUSE was moved lock stock & barrel in the mid 20’s to Beverly Hills by film producer Ward Lascelle. Recently refurbished by its new owner it’s unsurprisingly long been a mecca for Los Angeles kids on Halloween. 🎃
