last year after a rainstorm, i found teeny tiny mushrooms in a tree at work & now every time i pass the same tree & i look for more mushrooms & everyone laughs at me, but when the mushroom queen chooses me to wed, will my coworkers be laughing then??

Oh, you're a lesbian couple on Thanksgiving Day morning? Which one of you has decided to reorganize all her yarn and which one of you has decided to fix the bedroom doorknob?

One of my former mentees is a tribal member and the most recent things we talked about over e-mail is that ICE is detaining Indigenous people but it goes vastly underreported.

I am seriously considering hosting a weekly meet up at the library where people come and ask me questions and if I can't answer them, we learn how ti look it up.
This is so soulless, I can't stand it. We have BRAINS. We can USE THEM.

we've reached the part of rehearsal where all the actors know each others' lines and will just repeat them in ghostly unison while off stage

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.

🧵 We are, in fact, doing the thing again for @onesimplewish.bsky.social. In 2024, the kind people of this community put the money cannon on blast to help grant $75K in wishes for children in foster care. Toys, tech, a suit for job interviews. Here we go again! 👇
