If praying has ever worked for any of you, can you please pray that Jeremy comes back home. He ran away a few days ago and I'm heartbroken

Something about how Fire & Ice give up on going after Pearl directly, and instead both arrow in on dissing Marina-

Something about, Pearl having no shame at all, outright telling Frye right off that Off the Hook is here to “take control” and then literally talking over Frye’s turn. Frye’s snarking on how Pearl isn’t the boss here and no one’s cheering for her, ignored. How she goes after both Frye and Shiver asking where Frye’s big friend is to help her pass this test, moving right on to saying they’re both just goons making a mess anyway, little fish who should stay in they're bowl, but

that seems to give Frye the idea of hitting back with the “who’s backing you? Imaginary friends?” line… like Marina doesn’t even count as a music partner- or a friend?

Pearl literally yaps about Marina being divine, one of a kind, voice so fine, big mind- raps the lines off her cuff and the heart that's proudly pinned there

And Frye and Shiver go TARGET DETECTED. They lock onto Marina.

Shiver doesn’t bother trying to needle Marina about Pearl, the way their partners were each doing- if Pearl has no shame then at least she DOES still have a weakness, a soft spot, a thing she openly cares about- something they can try riling her up over

(problem: Pearl actually has all the confidence in Marina as a musician, partner, and performer. She's WATCHED Marina be all those things for YEARS now)

In the end Frye and Shiver just rile up the gay feels. Because Marina’s been living with a rapper who LOVES hyping her up even when they’re not on stage- Pearl who said she’d cut a fish for Marina. And if you don’t come to Inkopolis with a lot of self confidence, well then getting some from your girlfriend is fine too  

But it’s cute that Pearl’s still so obvious about being Marina's no. 1 fan that Fire & Ice thought they could use it against her XD

Okay no I need to ask. Jews who throw their lot in with blatant bigots and antisemitic racists-

Do you think it will save you?

Do you think that when they scream for "Zio" blood, they do not mean you? Do you think that when they cheer the rape and kidnapping and murder of Israelis, they do not mean you? Do you think when they come into the inboxes and DMs of random Jews to tell them that they "deserve it" and that the world would be better without Jews in it, they do not mean you? Do you think that when they assault and beat and stab and kill Jews in the name of their so-called "activism", they do not mean you?

They DO mean you. You are not exempt. You will not escape this. No matter how much you throw your own tribe under the bus. No matter how much you swear you are not like those other Jews, the Bad Jews, the Zionists, the Yids, the kikes. No matter how much you get up on stage and disavow your Jewishness to them, no matter how much you wail that you're on their side.

No matter how much you betray your own people. No matter how much of your sibling's blood you have on your hands.

When the time comes. When the people you have been working so hard to please file into that meeting room to discuss their triumph, to sing praises of Jewish blood in the streets.

You will find a hand on your shoulder and a voice saying "Now, hold on a minute, Jew."

Neighbor (that my parents have known for 40+ years): There's a stray kitten in my yard, do you want it? If not, can I borrow a cat carrier to take it to the shelter?

My mom: "We already have 3 adult cats. (...) I texted my [craft group] friends to see if anyone wants the kitten."

Also my mom, one hour later: "I'm in your front yard trying to catch the kitten & put it in our cat carrier."

Mom: *catches kitten and takes it to Walmart to buy kitten supplies*

Mom: *brings the kitten to show me* "I've been calling him Corky, after my dad. You can't hog all three cats, I want one that likes ME best."

Mom: *spends the next hour trying to get the kitten to cuddle her and nap on her lap/chest*

Mom: "He looks like Louise!" (Our cat who lived to be 20 years old and was super bonded to both my parents.)

Me, to my dad: If we don't find another home for that kitten in the next few days, he's gonna stay here.

My grandma (86 yo, has dementia, doesn't talk much anymore), upon seeing/holding kitten: *visibly perks up* *starts talking to the kitten*

My dad: *cuddles the kitten for several hours while the baby naps on his chest*

Me, to my dad: *watching Dad cuddle tiny kitten* I don't think he's going anywhere. I think we have a 4th cat.

My dad: You're probably right.

neighbor’s duck dog who is now an old man keeps getting into our yard to try and harrass the ducks (he’s too elderly to be an actual threat anymore so like it’s fine) BUT it is just very funny because we will usually hear his owners yelling for him over and over and over before we realize he’s here

meanwhile as soon as i walk out and call him over to take him back home he comes lumbering over immediately even with overwhelming duck temptation

We are still trying to finalize a contract on this house (a 100yo house has a lot of problems, my friends!) and there are TOO MANY LAWYERS involved. Adam is a lawyer, and he asked his uncle for a recommendation to represent us, so we have that lawyer (Steve) plus Adam's uncle has not excused himself so we also have him involved (Kenny). This is too many cooks! (too many cooks!)

We had a zoom with our inspector yesterday and he said be careful, a lawyer can protect you right out of a deal and YEAH. Kenny you need to stop asking questions! Adam put what we wanted for credits with the advice of the inspector (who I love and is my friend Marti's husband, he is GREAT, if you are buying a house in the chicago area I cannot recommend him more highly), Kenny does not need to keep offering his thoughts!!

Ugh I just want to start decorating!!

[bunny--manders]

When I went off to college I gave my dad my passwords so he could have access to the databases that my university had access to that he didn't have through the university he worked at. And before I had even started classes, the IT department called me to ask if my account has been hacked because he had downloaded so many early 19th century newspaper articles about his hyperfixation they thought there had been some kind of massive data breach.

so, the post-rebels languor has turned to post-rebels derangement. earlier today she was showing me these cute rebel insignia flags she found online, and she’s like “we could get one of these and write KALLUZEB SUPPORTERS at the top and bottom” and i’m like. that’s funny. and then you can put it up on the wall in your room or something. but then she cuts me off with “and THEN, we put it OUTSIDE.”

no the hell we do not!!!!!!!

[eightspringdays]

it was SO FUN to be outside the club with my neighbor waiting for the Uber under a pernicious SNOWFALL trying to know what the FUCK a damn toyota camry looked like... Literally

Uber: *approaching* are you [my legal name]?

Us: "... are you toyota camry 2022?"
