Boomer parents texting me so I can explain buttered Jorts to them.

This involved telling them what jorts are, introducing them to Reddit, and a soupçon of union discourse. I'm a little fearful of the results.

Occasionally Zoë interrupts me at my desk until I follow her to a rug, whereupon she sits and demands I pull the rug around the apartment. She'll bring a toy or attack the fringe during the ride.

Lately she's realized she can get back on if she steps off. So the rides don't need to end.

I named my fists Statler and Waldorf because we haven't even started and you can already hear the jeering from the upper balcony.
I named my fists Strunk and White because if we're doing this, there will be elements of style.
i named my fists Rodgers and Hammerstein cuz theyre always in my own little corner

Top 5 film genres

- no plot, just punching

- no plot, just trading quips

-humans are definitely the villains (not sure anyone involved with the film knows that, though)

-no plot, just choreography and set design

-brooding (subtitled because half the dialogue is inaudible)
Top 5 film genres

-one director’s quixotic and extravagant labor of love

-something awful has happened and nobody will ever know precisely what or why

-cool monsters

-this Hays code embodiment of a transatlantic accent wants to fuck

-I Hate The Upper Class But Damn They Know How to Dress
Top five film genres:

- pre-WW2 Hollywood comedy where plot’s tertiary at best, all vibes

- French or Italians lookin’ fabulous, talkin’ sophisticated

- your dad loves this movie & now that you’re 50 so do you

- porn is art when it’s softcore & everyone dresses nice

- L.A. Rebellion

I feel like I've made a mistake being online this week. Maybe this lifetime. My refusal to take time and touch grass has led to me reading too many Epstein emails and now I can't decide whether I should puke or punch a brick wall.

FINE, fiiiiine, I did it. I'm making a newsletter so people can keep up on shop updates. I generally only do a shop drop once a season at most so this combined with my aversion to emails makes it so I physically cannot spam your inbox.

We took on a powerful incumbent who was expected to coast to reelection.

We faced more corporate PAC money than has ever been spent attacking a candidate in a Seattle election.

We built a people-powered movement rooted in hope for our city’s future.

And we won.

This is YOUR city!

Tuesday ballot count just dropped. "KING 5 has reached out to Harrell for comment at least five times in since Nov. 10. He has not responded to requests."
Wilson extends lead over Harrell in Seattle's mayoral race
Tuesday's ballot drop extended Wilson's lead over Harrell by 1,346 votes. She was ahead by just 91 votes on Monday. The race is still too close to call.

My god this is for real one of the most incredible speeches I’ve ever seen by an elected US politician: ‘And if there is any way to terrify a despot, it is to dismantle the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power. This not only how we stop Trump, it’s how we stop the next one.’
Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

Between Dick Cheney kicking it and the wins of Mamdani, Sherrill, et al, today has been pretty great.

Ah, the simple pleasure of checking your hold list at the library and then wondering if you should be responsible and delay some of them (never).

Pet food is usually not covered by SNAP (depending on where you are), but needing to cover more groceries may take up what you would have spent on it. Many animal shelters have pet food pantries, so check your local if you're struggling to feed your pets.

I came back from a couple days out of town and my roommate got new nightlights and this is how that went down:

Me: these are amazing
RM: (inaudible)
Me, getting closer: why is the light purple?
RM: They're actually fly traps, we had a problem, wait, don't get—Jesus, stop that, you are not a fly.

I don't have a platform so I don't post often, but Ruaa's is one of the GoFundMes that I have been supporting with what I can. I know it is easy to think that things are fine now that there is a ceasefire. But the border is still closed, food is only slowly getting into Gaza, and most homes have 1/2
