This started with Universities jacking up tuition so they could get some money today that you hope you'll earn years in the future. That was the first large-scale wealth […]

in 2017 a popular twitter game was to type a partial phrase then see what your phone auto-completes it with.

I am from Seattle.
I live in Maine.
I am at a bar that by definition is All-In For the Patriots.
Someone just saw my blue & green hair extensions & *recoiled.*
“Cat what the fuck are you doing?”
And Reader, I got to say it. In the right context.
BITCH I AM FROM SEATTLE! #dragrace #superbowl

It’s about 17°F / -7°C and it’s been below freezing all weekend. Thanks to my wood stove, the orange bars are the only time this weekend that the heat ran.

My dog is giving me puppy-dog eyes because she wants to go for a night time walk. It is 15F out there, little doggo. I'm sorry.
