I’m thrilled to see more eco-friendly holiday decorations rising in popularity but the profusion of paper chains and stars and dried orange garlands across crafty social media platforms is really giving wartime rationing vibes

About once a week I’ll see this guy carrying a 6-quart Cambro of (tomato-based?) soup down the busy street, and I just think that’s a beautiful thing

It’s cool that people are canceling their Spotify subscriptions because they’re running ICE ads, but then posting about it on Instagram, a platform that also runs ICE ads

Dumped a bunch of hemp seeds into my Frosted Flakes this morning, ask me for more nutrition advice~

Love to emphatically vote YES for the parks levy and basically any other social good funded with property taxes. I don’t own a house and never will, it doesn’t matter to me. You say, oh, well won’t your landlord raise your rent? Baby, my landlord raises the rent no matter. 💁🏼

Kinda crazy that no matter who is in the White House, they always manage to hire press secretaries that have literal rocks for brains

Allowing myself a moment to stop dreading the state of everything to inject pure uncut schadenfreude into my veins as more details emerge in the Billups illegal gambling/insider betting indictments

Guess I’m glad that Platner is getting milkshake ducked before being elected into a crucial seat and not after (e.g., Fetterman).

Hitting an annoying disequilibrium of t-shirts that are getting too tatty to wear outside but are not quite falling apart enough to justify throwing them out.

September and October are always the most intense work months of my year where I’m working 10-18 hour days, so I get to enjoy a naturally sharp decrease in my media consumption, which would be fine if crazy bad shit didn’t always seem to happen around now.

Sorry to report my brain left my body while prepping dinner earlier and I forgot how to truss properly and accidentally did the shibari chicken meme

A completely zero stakes annoyance of mine is that for its bespoke short-linking domain name, NYT chose to deliberately misspell it as nyti[.]ms using the ccTLD for Montserrat instead of nytim[.]es using the ccTLD for Spain.
