One, requesting the books as gifts but two...where's this year's Williams Sonoma hater's guide? It's the best part of Christmas, if I'm being honest.

Anyway. If anyone knows how to make pyzy that don't fucking melt in boiling water let a girl know.

FIN.

By the elders I mean down the drain.

I pan fry the rest of these little UFO bbs and they are decidedly mid. Do the kids still say mid?

Part four of probably five?

Boiled, as directed. Pierogi float, as foretold by the recipe. I go to scoop them out - no pierogi.

None. Not one. The six I put in have disintegrated.

I put forth this potato scented water as an offering to the polacks of old in the hope someone can tell me what the fuck happened.

Boil, then pan fry. I can do this, it's in my thick, sludgy, polack-from-Buffalo blood.

Mistake two: believing that I can follow simple directions.

Am I threading this right? I am very bad at text-based social medias. Two of however many.

So we talked about how sure she may have revolutionized fashion BUT. Nazi.

There are age appropriate ways to explain Nazis and why they can fuck off.

And tell your kids! Mine learned about Nazis at age 3 because Coco Chanel was in a book called LITTLE TRAILBLAZERS.

What was the pre-approved song? I guess he's used this at rallies past (or at least one in 2016) which is absolutely bonkers but. Really willing it to be protest 🤞🏻

Is that how we ask?? I said.

Then they properly howled the question and I'm just so proud.

"It took the Nazis 1mo, 3wks, 2 days, 8hrs and 40min to dismantle a constitutional republic. When the 5-alarm fire starts to burn, every good person better be ready to man a post with a bucket of water if you want to stop it from raging out of control."

But yes. On this Thursday, we can be mad about Wednesdays.

Spoiler alert, pretty much everything is made up and only has value we assign to it (looking at you, bullshit like interest rates and housing costs and inflation that everyone acts like their hands are tied and we couldn't possibly change these systems).

I myself would like to be a well-loved housecat. Sleep all day but agile AF.

No! No fun! Those are the rules I've been raising my children by: no silliness, no happiness, NO FUN. No fun in the before times, no fun now!

I asked what the long term effects of IVF treatments were and my clinic was all 🤷🏻‍♀️ we don't know, no one's studied it.

You know, I was worried about two dividing into four after implantation in 2017. But this. This did not occur to me ☠️

Here's some hope:
