I knew about Christopher Plummer as Henri the pigeon in An American Tail and Jerry Orbach as Lumiere in Beauty and the Beast. Are there more? If any other live action icons did a song in a ridiculous French accent in a 1980s animated feature, please tell me now and spare me more surprises.

The most absolutely massive flex from the state fair exhibit. This quilt is made of 40 years of prize ribbons from various categories at the New Mexico State Fair won by Carol St. Clair Johnson. She also won a prize for this quilt.

I think about this line every time I'm in a hotel, lately. Sleeps 4, stack of towels, _maybe_ one towel hook.

“Sometimes writing is pure hell. I’ll write something down and look at it for few hours and say, ‘This is pure crap. What will I do with my life? I’ll never write again.’ It’s a bipolar business and you bounce back.” Barbara Ehrenreich, born on this day in 1941

Another neat #bug from Costa Rica, but this time it's very smooth and beautiful, like a little abstract painting. I love the iridescent green punctures! Hnnnggg 😋 #Scutelleridae: #Pachycoris torridus

Since nobody's mentioned it yet, one of the funny parts of this is that Cornell has a Meat Science class. If they'd played their cards right they probably could have used classroom space and gotten extra credit.

Perpetual reminder that making fun of "bad" fat people means that "good" fat people are one infraction away from you being an asshole at them about their bodies and it is completely at your whim and mercy. It's not a good look.

Okay, I thought that would embed: inaugural Philadelphia parallel-parking contest, as great as it sounds.

seeing the posts about visitors discovering that you can walk around most of our cities and just be yourself in a multicultural setting, discovering tailgating, starting impromptu block parties, my muslim mayor, etc. etc. it's corny to say it but that's our secret sauce. and it means something

I know people are disappointed that they're not going to see the letters actually get yanked off the wall but try not to let that prevent you from recognizing how hysterically funny this is
