- Reposted by Megan!Deleted a post about “what’s your least favorite song” because the vibes are bad enough already. Instead: what’s your favorite song that has a long title, say at least 6 words long? Mine: “Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town” (Pearl Jam)
- Reposted by Megan!I’ll be on the ground in Minneapolis for the next few days for Rolling Stone. If you or anyone you know is helping to organize your community to protect itself from ICE (or just helping them cope with the tragedy of Renee Good’s death), I’d love to speak with you
- As a compulsive playlist hoarder, I have one for most events and moods. I haven't visited it in about a year, but my NYE playlist is surly and ready to fight another year.
- Oh my god, it's a breakup play list!
- I saw someone say Wake Up Dead Man felt like a departure from Agatha Christie style mysteries. I disagree, but I do think you could make a fun argument for Flannery O'Connor being in there too.
- That's it, everyone left on my gift list gets one of these.
- On a chart where easy and good are plotted, we got very close to where they intersect today.
- The king in question:
- When it comes to cats, I sometimes get the impression that animal shelters do a bit of used car salesmanship. I gotta say, though, the volunteer who hooked us up with our new cat was a straight shooter. This cat we got lets toddlers count his individual toe beans while purring and slow blinking.
- Well, I've arrived as a potter. My kid just asked for "Mommy's bowl" for breakfast. I thought she meant the oatmeal I was making in the microwave instead of her food but actually she explained "You made it out of clay!"
- I enjoy human pass-times such as: Touch a dog's furs Utilize a bicycle Read so many information books
- Oh! And Korean skin cares? That's a thing right?
- I misheard a request to "build a fort!" in the playroom so now I have built the kids a boat and they are sailing it around looking at whales and dogfish and sharks and having to stop and do a LOT of boat repairs, which seems pretty realistic, if we're being honest.
- So it turns out the elderly cat and dog were just staying alive to spite each other and now that the dog has moved on, it looks like the cat's about to retire too. Uhg.
- Reposted by Megan!Frankly women aren’t ruining enough things. Let’s ruin sports betting. Let’s ruin underwear companies that don’t account for people having butts. Let’s ruin trucks so big their fronts are taller than our heads. Let’s ruin the prison industrial complex. I believe in us!
- Reposted by Megan!you can just make a shirley temple at home. no one can stop you. you can have a silly little pink drink whenever you want.
- If you call a tipline to help child snatchers grab children to send them to camps you know where you're going. search.app/2rBQh
- Donating money directly to food banks is probably the most efficient way to help feed our neighbors when SNAP runs out, but I think it might be nice to donate some treats, too? Like, people still have birthdays and anniversaries and stuff even if they're going through it.
- For the first time in my adult life I have finally been summoned for jury duty and I'm actually kind of excited, which probably disqualifies me immediately during voir dire. Also, please don't ask me how to pronounce that.
- I don't hate noisemaking toys, I hate stuff that tells kids to "be nice" and "be sweet and smile at everyone you meet" in a singsongy voice. I wonder if there's a fisher price hacking community!
- So far, I see people turning kids toys into functional things (video game controllers) and maybe people 3d printing records for the old fisher price record player which is actually really cool. Replacing the sound chip on these things looks like the closest thing to what I'm trying to do.

- I saw a post suggesting asking a date to see their YouTube homepage to see what it suggested about them and while I hope to never date again, I just checked mine and it is all Matt Berry and the Mountain Goats with a smattering of pottery tutorials so I probably don't have to worry about it anyway.
- Does anyone else script out a phone call ahead of time? Or do you all just remember why you called and what your dog's name is and the word for boarding and the dates and times of your travel?
- I am not like a chronic em dash abuser but I do actually know how to use them and now I am extremely paranoid people will think I'm an AI if I do and it kind of sucks?
- Reposting this because "penis fly trap" made me do a huge belly laugh.
- I unfairly judge and don't trust dudes on dates at nice coffee shops that want "a hot chocolate."
- Okay Grandma, if Portland keeps burning down and everything is made of plywood now, wouldn't we see more refugees? Like, everyone knows a few people in their community who moved there after hurricane Katrina, why haven't we met anyone from Portland?
- The cat is so old that sometimes I find her sleeping and I'm worried she's... not sleeping.
- This is me if I win a big lottery. No joke!

- I am going to charitably assume that vaccine hesitant parents worried about autism and its causes are concerned that they won't be good enough to step up to the challenge of raising a kid with a disability. I worried about that, too, when I was pregnant! (1/2)
- Which is why I want to ask what they're going to do with their unvaccinated kid who gets meningitis and goes full Helen Keller. What's the plan? Adoption? (2/2)
- Google, can you leave a kid with polio legs at the fire station in my state? (3/2)
