This was a personal favorite:

afaik, it's print or bust. Sociologists don't mess around.

Local woman saves mailman from turkeys, writes social science canon, invents a subfield.

But you will find the scissors in a minute or so, when they stab you bc they were under your leg the whole time

National Archives in Prague in the late 1990s. No heat, diesel trucks backed into the courtyard and spewed fumes that permeated the building and lightly kippered all the researchers, and a very kind archivist kept plonking coffee right onto the KSČ Politburo documents I was carefully transcribing.

Ha, yes. They see illiberal populists at the helm and think these are easily persuadable allies who'd leave the EU to do Trump and Russia a solid. Also, Brexit never happened.

Yes, two of the biggest beneficiaries of EU funding should be easy pickings for the Trump/ Russia efforts to convince Poland and Hungary to leave the EU.

congratulations and all good wishes!

See, a government list of "media offenders" is very different from federal censorship, which thankfully ended earlier in the year.

yeah, I actually like that stuff, if done properly

wow, that came out of nowhere didn't it

pudding-like things can be made edible, with enough really good vanilla or raspberry syrup. But all family events featured loads of unsweetened whipped cream, and every time I demurred, I got hit with the full guilt-disbelief-ridicule complex, bc how could you not love aerated grease?

it's fluffy spackle

so bad

Jesus, that's just chaos and violence

also parent of three, and you have to at least *try* and if that fails, apologize profusely. I once bought a drink to the guy sitting next to us.

donuts good. whipped cream is of the devil

I have yet to recover from toddler #2 carefully scraping something off the grocery floor and then nibbling on it with great interest as I ran down the aisle to intercept. Please read my parenting book

substance *and* syntax

"surpassing most historical figures in active involvement despite scale"
