I have never felt as seen as I did when I first read this description of writers who total fail at whaling because when they’re on watch they just sit there daydreaming instead of looking for whales
Whales are scarce as hen’s teeth whenever thou art up here.

I finally read “Burmese Days,” after vaguely meaning to do so for about ten years. Verdict: it’s a classic for a reason but also it’s one of those books in which you’re meant to hate all the characters, which I did, but that also means it’s hard to care much what happens to them

When Jewish frat boy Dan Dashevsky meets Christian Youth Association President Christopher Fox, it isn't exactly love at first sight. Christopher tries to get Dan to accept Jesus; Dan offers to take Christopher out on a date instead. Christopher refuses, but finds that he can’t stay away… #questpit

I’m reading “While England Sleeps” right now and it’s very good but it’s also kind of like reading a book-length AITA post and I keep wanting to yell YES YTA at the narrator every few pages

I seem to have injured the base of my thumb, probably from using my phone too much. I HAVE A POSTING INJURY. The stupidest possible overuse injury

I just saw a book on Amazon with only one review: a one-star review that said nothing about the book itself but complained that the paper in the hardcover edition was flimsy. And four people had marked it “helpful”! Seriously why are people

This reminds me of the time I went to see a very sad, spooky, modern ballet version of Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Little Mermaid,” and many people in the audience had very clearly showed up expecting the Disney version
TFW you paid $1400 to see Beckett’s most famous work without knowing anything about it

It’s 1918, and all former champion boxer Max Wolff (real name Chaim Leibowitz) wants is to reclaim his lost title and have a good time while he’s doing it. But instead, he’s drafted and sent to Europe, where he meets a beautiful and very traumatized young British officer. #dvpit #lgbt #hr

More evidence of just how useless Google has become since AI became a thing: this news alert warning me that it would feel like 155 degrees today, which would be about twenty degrees hotter than the hottest temperature ever recorded on earth

This is probably the kind of gardening Sam would have done if he had kept the Ring
This is extreme gardening.
At 55 feet high and 300 years old, it takes one gardener 10 weeks on a hydraulic cherry-picker to trim the hedges at Powis Castle, returning the yew hedges to their famous, cloud-like shapes.

Second update: we did our best but I’m not sure if we technically completed the mitzvah of hearing the shofar because no one in my family has been able to get it to make anything more than a faint squeaking sound
Update: my shofar has arrived from Paris! It comes with a guide to using and maintaining it that advises new owners that “if you are successful at blowing, you will make a shriek like an elephant” but so far I can’t get it to make any sound at all :-/
Today in problems I did not expect to have: the ram’s horn I ordered has apparently been inadvertently sent to Paris, where I do not live, but I hope it’s enjoying its French vacation

It’s kind of unfortunate that “Baruch Dayan Emet” and “big dick energy” have the same acronym

Happened upon a plant hopper rendezvous today.
Very serious business going down in the bushes.
Sorry to disturb, gentlemen. Carry on.

I just had a dream that I was a vampire who had lived for hundreds of years and then this weird sticky demon creature was trying to drag me to hell but I distracted it by taking it to a bookstore and finding a really engrossing YA novel series for it
