I am told that "shepherds pie" is lamb, and made with beef it's "cottage pie".

Not that it bothers me, I'm making and eating it either way, but in case the distinction matters to someone out there! 🤣

Thank you, we who want real information and a place to discuss it with humans that think rationally and critically deeply value this!

I don't think we can ever be ready.
More accepting, but never less grief.
❤️‍🩹
Same boat right now with an elderly pup, we know each day is extra, but I cry every time I think about it.

Oh, my heart!
I am so sorry, and sending all the love an internet stranger can radiate. It is never something we are really ready for. ❤️‍🩹
Thank you for sharing his beautiful self with us.

I don't know about the count, but looking at the specific accidents I saw reports on, it appears like (so far) they are mechanical failure, pilot error, etc.

So maybe just stuff we are paying more attention to than normal. For now?

It looks like there have been three more crashes-- two midair collisions and one unspecified crash-- this week. (Someone else listed them in a comment).

It FEELS like a lot more than we usually hear about. I don't have the perspective to know whether that's just because we are watching, but...

"do not! Go in! The creepy basement! Where you heard the noise, and three people already disappeared!!"

Thank you for knowing and creating space for us to breathe when we have had too much.

Sometimes we need a hug. Or a kitten. Or a really good tater tot recipe.

Right. But it's telling that we're not even pretending anymore. 🤬😭

Which he?

It's AI.
It's parody.

It looks like there's room in there for some serious crap.

So, do you pick up?
😁

Cat back atcha.

Those bibles....

I love this

I think we need, like, a list of tactics for surviving the shit show. And that one is going on my list.

If you've ever had an actually Narcissistic (like, psych diagnosis worthy) family member, you start to see it as more complicated.

His behavior is all evil. I wouldn't vote for him and have no f'ing clue how anyone could be so blind.... But I see how a human might get that way.

Wait.
Wait, I don't understand.

Are you writing psychological horror now?

Then it's time to cut those ties, too!
At least mostly. Dip in to connect to folks that don't, now and then. To remind people where to find you IRL. For that ONE old auntie that just isn't going to move.

Obviously, their speech has somehow been suppressed.

Oh, wait.
