My grandpa was so sick with leukemia in 2010 we were preparing to lose him. Everyone had to mask in his hospital room. He got better and lived another 7 years!! With lots of care, of course. I think about the odds of someone like him having such a fortunate outcome this decade and there’s no way 😞

“Just two intellects sharing educational and philosophical conversation” lolol

Right! Gyros and those tea sandwiches with the cream cheese might be the only acceptable format for cucumbers (other than pickles, of course).

Btw that was a joke, not an invitation to run that as a prompt. Because everything seems to need a “don’t you dare suggest using ChatGPT or asking it things on my behalf” disclaimer nowadays 🙄

Reason No. 1,384,958 to bring back masking: a resurgence of “don’t forget your masc!” lesbian tiktoks, featuring high-quality respirators.

I’m aware of this band because I copy-edited a news story about their concert at the Gorge many years ago (which being new to the PNW I’d never seen—the photos were stunning). And in the crowd there were people brandishing… actual cast-iron skillets? Not sure if that was typical of Skillet fandom 😂

Four lil toasted marshmallows 🥹

Oh wow I’m kind of obsessed with the “historical” 90s dolls 🫠… not enough to buy one but enough to contemplate accessorizing my “American Girl of Today” from 1997. Her outfits were a lil homely during the actual 90s, but Nicki’s skateboarding outfit? [chef’s kiss]

Just found out about this wtf! Last year was my first and it was so healing to be included and not isolated. I can’t be the only one who wrote a whole thing in their post-con survey about how they shouldn’t drop the requirements for the next one… Which means they read all that and still went “nah” 😔

Ohhh that’s probably what I’m thinking of. I couldn’t really remember the scene from Gen Q either so must have just read about the Queer as Folk reboot somewhere 😅 Yay brain fog

JFC. Thank you for that. I think I remember the new L Word series doing a similar season (or possibly series) opening and being like “really? You’re just gonna do a Pulse shooting and not warn us?” 🤕

Seriously. Alt text belongs on everything from infographics to cat pics.

It goes like this, the fourth the fifth, the porridge of ungodly glyphs, cacophonously read by NVDA 😿

Cats are such gremlins 😂
