i keep telling people "have you tried sleeping with people you actually want to be sleeping with instead of people you think you should be sleeping with" and it always goes super well (it does not)

im choosing to believe it's "look like the 90s"

☠️mawls slaughter☠️ @oddletters.bsky.social · 1d

they are! and specifically the flannels i have are too small to make the proper 90s flannel silhouette shape, so square short sleeve dickies it is!

☠️mawls slaughter☠️ @oddletters.bsky.social · 1d

my friend asked me why i wasnt wearing a big flannel and i explained that the square short sleeve workshirt silhouette is an important 90s sihouette and it occurs to me i may have overthought this

RIP Diane Keaton- such sad news, what an incredible talent. You probably didn't know she collected clown paintings by amateur artists, eventually publishing an entire book devoted to them

you could stop now but you can keep going basically indefinitely as long as you keep adding water. it depends on how caramelized is enough for you
