One of the weirdest parts of being Gen X is remembering very specifically when things were delicious/plentiful and feeling gaslit now. Halloween candy, Burger King fries, Dunkin' Donuts. This thought brought to you by a tiny bag of shitty tasting Conversation Hearts that claims to be "Classic".

I'm shallow enough to consider this to be a life-changing revelation.
Here's a little secret: Making Rice Krispy Treats is an art, not a science. There is no one recipe. You can make a personal-sized treat in a little bowl or a bento box. Just melt a pat of butter with a cup of marshmallows and stir in any cereal you like. Add cereal until the goop is dispersed. BOOM.

really feels like Becca Good saying “go get some lunch, big boy” is when he snapped. the kind of man who joins ICE is absolutely the kind of man who thinks women should die for saying things like that. they absolutely crash out when we aren’t cowering in fear and making them feel scary & powerful
