BEHOLD: THREAD OF BATHTUB BIRDS
I had a thread on twitter that I am now going to move here. context: in my neighborhood, one house converted an antique bathtub to a working fountain, added a kiddie pool, put plastic lawn birds in them, and the birds get rotating seasonal outfits
guys what do I make with all this

what people don't understand about maple is that you can add it to stuff without adding sweetness! sooo many maple favored things aren't sweet at all, even maple coke wasn't any more sugary than regular coke

"we'll just do an impromptu little trip up to Massachusetts because my mom is there, it doesn't have to be a whole big thing" I said this morning, not realizing that we'd end up with a haul that took us each two trips to get inside the apartment

my wife and I have this bit where we get all dressed up for a special occasion and then make the dumbest faces in every picture which is funny until I'm trying to make a Christmas card and these are the only pictures we took together in 2022

I work with a lot of family law attorneys and realized that being able to add three or more parents to a birth certificate would have interesting implications in terms of child support, custody, etc so I am now hashing this out with one of the lawyers lmao
all of these options should be open to more than two people and not contingent on romantic love

there should be three kinds of marriages: religious (which would stay the same and have no legal implications), Marriage Lite which is a civil agreement the creates automatic medical proxies/next of kin status/insurance eligibility/etc but has fewer financial implications because spousal income and
"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

do you ever think about the novelization of TFA and how in it Poe says "good job" and winks at the stormtrooper who frisks him

You can't just inform people about kerning like that.

You have to at least warn them that there's a thing you're going to teach them that, even though they never once noticed it before, is about to ruin their life.

I've had people ask me how much we could possibly host that it's worth structuring our entire apartment around it but since we moved in less than two years ago we've had almost 20 people, up to four at a time, spend at least 45 collective days here, and that's only the ones who stayed overnight

we knew going in that the couch is just a little bit bigger than our apartment can accommodate without feeling a little cramped but this thing was $225 (half off sale for veterans day), has a pull-out sofa, and truly is the most comfortable thing I've ever sat on
our apartment is in total chaos because we still haven't put back all of the stuff that got displaced by the dishwasher installation but LOOK AT HER

our dishwasher has officially been replaced with a way better one but the chaos isn't over because when we went to a used furniture place over the weekend (Mel needs a new desk, ours is falling apart) we found the most ridiculous couch I've ever seen so that's getting delivered tomorrow

pouting because I wouldn't give her the soup Mel was eating (that's my leg she's draped over)

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

DEVASTATING: for the first time since Luna got hurt Emily came to the door instead of us meeting her downstairs, Luna did a single tiny little hop and then tucked her tail and cowered nervously because she clearly remembered what happened last time 😭 she's 100% fine but omg it was heartbreaking
she's PISSED that I wouldn't let her play with the plumber or the dishwasher delivery guys, what she doesn't know is that Emily is going to be staying with the downstairs neighbor's dog all weekend and will be doing some extra Luna walks while she's here
