The whole thing seems entirely sane to me, except for one teeny-tiny query.

WTF is farmers cheese?

friends roman’s and fellow countrymen i need help

for years and years and years my great aunt made a cheese cake for easter. but it was no ordinary cheesecake. it was a no bake farmers cheese cheese cake that was wrapped in cheese cloth and put in the fridge and had like some kind of nuts and also those gummy fruit things in it. the recipe does not exist. but i know it’s eastern european. and i want to eat this cake. but i cannot find it anywhere on line, every comparable recipe is a baked one. have any of you heard of this??? can anyone send me anything that might be useful?????? please??????????

I just think that Joker would sidle up to Bruce Wayne at a urinal and be like 'pissing all by yourself handsome? ;)' and Bruce Wayne would be like 'we are in the bathroom of my heavily secured penthouse apartment. on the 101st floor. how the FUCK did you get up here'

but, crucially, he would not stop pissing

bastard sounds great in an irish accent. if an irish person calls you a 'daft bastard' it just feels right

the welsh have the monopoly on things ending in hell. fuckin hell and bloody hell hit different in a welsh accent. its like music to my ears

the scots have piss and shite for sure. "its pishin it doon out there" "this is a load of shite" absolute poetry

if i may speak for the english i think we do penis related words very well. dickhead, knobhead, twat, etc.

and for all the shit we give them, you gotta admit that no one can deliver a 'goddamn' quite like an american. theres a certain weight to it that you just cant achieve in other accents. when an american says goddamn you know shit just got real

look I'm not gonna pretend I know anything about electronics, but sometimes a plug is so big it blocks another socket, and I'm always like "who the fuck do you think you are"

so when straight people ask me why I say I’m “queer” or “gay” instead of sharing my actual identity as a panromantic demisexual non-binary sapphic queer I just tell them “ok look, when you’re talking to someone who isn’t local and they ask you where you’re from and you either say the name of the largest city nearby or ‘town name, suburb of large nearby city’ so they can get some geographical context of where you’re located right, bc they’re probably not going to know the name of the little town you actually live in.”

but if you’re talking to a local you can say the name of your actual town bc they have a greater chance of knowing where/what that is.

ok well when I’m talking to a straight person I start with queer bc chances are they aren’t as familiar with the context of all the little towns in that big queer city and need gps (gay positioning system) to find me.

if I’m talking to another queer person and I say I live in a suburb of gay city in a town called panromantic on the demisexual side of the tracks which is in the county of queer and I live off the intersection of non-binary and sapphic, they’d probably be able to find me with little to no problems, make sense?

I suppose this is ungrateful, but I am so tired of so-called "ex-MAGA" stories. I've seen enough now that laying them all atop each other reveals a pattern, and this is it.

"I voted for Trump with a song in my heart. I laughed along with his sexism and cheered in agreement with his racism and delighted in his assorted bigotries, looking forward to watching him punish the people who <i>deserve</i> it. But then I lost my Federal job or otherwise lost my livelihood because of his decisions, or at least lost a big chunk of money in the stock market. NOW I regret voting for him, now that I've personally lost by doing so."

I am not limitless, not least in my sympathies. If the economic pain could have been restricted to the people they hate they'd be cheering. They only became dismayed when it expanded to include them too.

Please tell me about people who thought he was joking and realized in horror that he wasn't. Tell me about people who realized they didn't vote for Elon Musk. Tell me about people who thought he was for free speech until they saw Voice of America taken down and international students snatched off the street or stripped of visas. Tell me about people who saw international aid and museum, library, research funding all erased and said to themselves, "What have I done?" Tell me about people who proudly served and worked and studied beside trans people and don't want to see them driven out of existence. Tell me about people who realized that human rights are actually not less important than the price of eggs.

Right now I don't think there are any.

This paints such a beautiful picture

Non-writers also free to weigh in.

There is a correct answer here by the way. I am a drabble purist but I want to know what other people think about this beloved format.

The janitorial staff were all serving soldiers, veterans of at least ten year’s standing […] once they’d realized his visit implied no criticism of the quality of their work, they became not merely cooperative but downright friendly. It seemed no inspecting officer had actually been willing to crawl through the ductwork in person with them for quite some time; but then, most senior inspectors were a lot older, stiffer, and stouter than Miles.

Miles has once again gotten a good grade in Drains, something normal to want and possible to achieve

"gay or european" also goes for middle-aged women btw. that lady with short hair no makeup and sneakers isn't a lesbian she's just german
