Him: “Lidl?”
Me: “Lidl!”

During a New Year’s reverie, I had the brilliant idea of organizing a speed typing tournament for all my IT classes, with the grand prize being a Kinder Egg, and candy for everyone else.
All the kids loved it, and you could see they were having fun. I might have to do it again!

Today is the day I have to get up at an ungodly hour for work, and no one hates this more than Link. Sometimes, he’ll steal my socks; sometimes, he’ll whine; but more often than not, he’ll hop on the bed and bark at me because HOW DARE I

I’d forgotten about this account and haven’t posted on here for a year. Current goings-on is that depression is still a bitch, and here is 1/3 of what makes me get out of bed in the mornings. His name is Link, he’s a little bit over a year old, and is a total momma’s boy. #dogs

Took the cat queen to the vet, where she proceeded to charm those who didn’t know her with her good behavior. She’s such a good cat, and the fact that she’s almost 13 and therefore a senior cat is slowly gutting me because SUSHI YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO AGE

I was getting my daily practice in when I’m suddenly joined by a ball of judgmental fluff. She just had to climb on top of the piano so she could properly disapprove from above.

I will never forget the first time I ate tofu that was properly prepared. Changed my life.
people who don’t like tofu don’t know how to prepare or eat tofu (and are probably buying shitty tofu) case closed
We should just acknowledge that the reflexive, dramatic, gagging horror most Americans have when they mention tofu is just thinly veiled racism.
You can like or dislike whatever food you want, but mining disgust sends a message.

If my partner hadn’t asked what I’d done with the leftover grilled burger—which I’d assumed that he had eaten—we never would’ve known that we have a new hamburglar on our hands, and while we didn’t catch her in the act and our evidence is circumstantial… we know it was her.

I just saw someone on the bird site declare that people were misunderstanding the point of Prosecraft and being mean to the creator.
Yeah, no.
It's not only IP theft, but I also keeps thinking how creatively *limiting* it is to constantly compare yourself to someone else's style while working.
