This is a tea checkpoint.

Is your tea getting cold?

Did you turn on your kettle and forget about it and now the water is cold again?

Is the tea bag still in?

Did you intend to start the tea making process and forget?

Congratulations! You remember now.

My new boss: “Everyone come to the team meeting with a surprising story about something you’ve done in the past. Something no one would expect of you!”

Me: Googling the statute of limitation for felonies in Texas

If I had henchmen I would absolutely be commanding them to "seize him!", and when the target failed to respond with "unhand me!" because people don't actually talk that way, in spite of knowing this would be the outcome I would be bitterly disappointed every single time.

Anti-science does not make America great.

This is sabotage. This is an attack on our ability to defend ourselves.

MAGA is going to end prevention. MAGA wants to silence and intimidate scientists.

Every Republican is complicit.

Recently I've become obsessed with "The Last Saskactchwewan Pirate" after some glorious individual recommended it on that one post I made about Stan Rogers songs, but only just now did I realize the incredible comedic juxtaposition it has with "The Idiot."

One song is about a working class guy from somewhere in Eastern Canada but I'm gonna say somewhere near the Great Lakes or Atlantic because it's funnier, who loses his job in a recession but he's too proud to go on welfare so he moves to the prairies and gets a crappy job at an oil refinery that he hates.

The other song is about a working class guy from the Canadian Prairies who loses his farm in a recession and can't get a job but he's too proud to go on welfare so he... becomes a fucking pirate. And remains on the Canadian Prairies having the time of his life (except for winter when he goes down to New Mexico

I cannot stop giggling about the idea of the protagonists of these two songs meeting. Imagining the guy in "The Idiot" commuting home from his crappy job after another overnight shift when he sees a fucking pirate ship cruising down the river blasting sea shanties, and thinking that maybe he chose the wrong line of work.

And then he joins the crew

remember when you’re writing a gross and terrible power dynamic that you should be asking yourself constantly how you could make it worse and sexier

nothing has been more important to my being queer than when i went to my first pride parade, got seperated from my group, had a panic attack about it and was sitting on the side of the road holding a tiny genderfluid flag and freaking out. then this six foot five drag queen in four inch heels appeared from literally nowhere and sat down next to me. i, this scared-shitless trans bi kid at pride for the first time, very nervously told her she looked pretty and i told her my name and that i got lost and didn't feel like i should be at pride and she held my hand and said "oh, honey, everybody deserves to be here, especially you. pride is for everybody who's ever gotten lost, who's been scared of who they are or where they are. you think we never been scared before? pride's for you, honey, because you're scared. you don't have to be proud right now, but you're gonna be one day, honey, i'm sure of it."

i found my group soon after that and i never saw that queen again but to this day i am convinced i met an angel.

if you aren't welcomed home by the discordant screams of a pom-pom headed chicken named Muffin, then what kind of life are you living???
