I’ve been called a lot of names, but never a normal college football fan. Go Dawgs!

Doesn’t exactly pair well with Jenny’s or Mike Jones’s digits, so make up your own tune.

Save it. Call it frequently and vocally.

So. Not feeling fantastic about this game. The fact that Lane hasn’t been trolling about clapping yet (NO, NOT TIMEOUT, REF, CLAP CLAPPITY CLAP) makes me nervous. He should have had three posts go viral by now.

I know. I’m a neurotic headcase.

Well of course it is. PLUS THE COST OF CORRECTING THE ASYMMETRY.

It’s criminal to me. It makes me twitchy.

This is to my eyes what nails on a chalkboard are to one’s ears.

That’s badass.

Oof, to your question, that’s tough. Me…I’d go Sony. I have a special place in my heart for him.

But the 40th anniversary is awesome and you should get “ZEUUUUUUUUUSSSSS”

Or “LADDEUUUUUUUSSSS”

So you must get all three I guess is my answer.

The circulating text chain is not shocking any more than the prominently displayed noose at J6 insurrection was. None of it is shocking. Racist, antithetical to the precepts of democracy, and xenophobic, and worse, absolutely…but not shocking. Anyone shocked isn’t paying attention.

Go to Outkast the night before two big finals instead of sticking to my self-regimented study schedule. (I’d been studying religiously anyway prior to that point.) I rarely nerded out throughout school, but that was the one time I really regretted it.

13. If you could do college over, what would you do different?

Katie (Brassafrass) @brassafrass.bsky.social · 10h

I prefer eating actual food to chalky supplements personally. 🤷‍♀️

Katie (Brassafrass) @brassafrass.bsky.social · 10h

Ditto!

I’ll re-frame…I have one big regret in college. I had two invites to 2 sororities and on the final day of rush, there was a candle-lit ceremony and a poor pledge fainted and NO ONE MOVED TO HELP HER FOR 2 SOLID MINUTES. I regret not lurching forward to help her. (Spoiler: I did not join the Greeks.)

11. What is something that you wish someone told you before you went to college?

Thank you for the heads up! Last I heard about her post-Tom Lake novel was that she wrote a good chunk of it and threw it out and started over because the plot was too boring, ha. Will look forward to this one. I’m still hammering away at the Bel Canto annotated edition.

Honestly, I’d be shocked if the findings revealed ZERO lead.

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)
