This advice was intended for career ladies but I would also be happy to hear back from any gentlemen if this worked for them

Career tip: if you are having a bad hair day bc you didn't have time to blow dry it, you can just throw on a pearl necklace on your way out the door and your kid will say "why are you dressed all fancy"

Also our Very Dumb Thanksgiving Movie was Godzilla x Kong The New Empire and I can confidently say I'm dumber now for having watched it

I think about how Godzilla Minus One cost $15 million to make so we could've had 9 Godzilla Minus Ones for the price of ONE Godzilla x Kong and I'm sad

Our Bootleg Thanksgiving™️gets a little more bootleg every year yet my children's enjoyment of it increases in inverse proportion to how much effort I put into it

This year was oven-rewarmed rotisserie chicken, stovetop stuffing, and Walmart pies and they LOVED it

I'll never roast a turkey again

The cuts amounted to $500 million in funds. Thousands of planned deliveries were canceled without warning in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C.

The #USDA did not respond to questions or requests for comment.

Read the story by Ruth Talbot and @nicolesantacruz.bsky.social.

Trump Canceled 94 Million Pounds of Food Aid. Here’s What Never Arrived.

ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the administration’s cut...

This unhinged literary take is the natural evolution of my "I don't believe in 'elevated' anything" hot take

Just bc most Unreal is plain doesn't mean that Fancy Unreal is something different

I also don't believe in "literary fiction," it's just Fancy Real

There is no such thing as genres; there is only a matrix where the axis for plot is "real <--> unreal" and the other one for language is "plain <--> fancy"

Not me googling "salt potatoes recipe" like a freaking noob even though I a) was born & raised in upstate NY and b) know perfectly damn well the only 3 ingredients are tiny potatoes, salt, and butter

I saw my neighbor's cat - who is still quite young - getting his ass kicked by a stray in my backyard

So I went out and yelled at the stray and he ran away, but then my neighbor's cat was like OH YOU SCARED HUH and chased him across the street

Look buddy, I'm not here to be your henchman

No I am not going to set up 2-factor authentication in order to buy movie tickets just so you can text me for the rest of my life that Jumanji #76 is coming out

Get bent, I will walk up buy my tickets like a peasant I guess
