"Locker room talk," "just a college chat," "quotes taken out of context"..... I think I see a pattern emerging.

Pitch it to a publisher as a non-fiction book. "American String Theory"

I would take a road trip across America where I would visit and document each of the ‘largest ball of twine’ roadside attractions. I’d then have copies made but 10% bigger and put them all on an industrial estate in Slough so you could see them in an afternoon.

One of the hardest parts of teaching kids chores is that they are short and the things that need done are up high.

My phone never ever ever automatically connects to my car, no matter how much I want it to, except for this morning when it decided to play The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald at full volume at 8am.

One frog to meme them all,
One comic strip created.
One frog resists them all
In Portland- green, inflated.

If you lose your way, follow the light of my heart. I lit it on fire for you.

I watched The Boy and The Heron months ago and I'm still not sure how I feel about it and that........that I love.

I feel like the founder of Antifa was Gonk who thought maybe Ooog shouldn't eat ALL of the bananas all by himself.

The winners of the Nobel Prize are always someone whose name I didn't know before and turns out to be the raddest human being I've ever heard of.

Ugh I really miss D&D but the only way I'm going to get to play is if I DM and I just do not have the spare brain goo right now. 😭

Some days I'm not sure if Arachne was cursed or blessed.

Leslie J. Anderson @lesliejanderson.bsky.social · 6d

Yeah I came here to share this morbid fact....

My kindergartner: I'm just so proud of you! You worked so hard and you did it! I knew you could!
Me: Who're you talking to, bud?
MK: My pokemon!

I'm comfortable with that.

Leslie J. Anderson @lesliejanderson.bsky.social · 7d

I can see that. Another one I follow is "don't take advice from someone whose never done their own laundry."

If someone tells me they know the Truth, but they’re living a normal life, I know they’re lying.
