I never remember my husband’s or daughter’s number because I only dial their “picture,” but I do know:
My number
My landline
My childhood number from elementary school
The number jingle for Empire Carpet Cleaning

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

I don’t understand why we need a “Columbus Day” when this country celebrates incompetent white men failing up and taking what isn’t theirs all year round.

A weighted blanket is not enough, I need whatever is going on here
And it’s a storybook style illustration of two mice, one in a dress and apron, the other in a three piece suit, using a huge rolling pin on a kitten who is wrapped in dough, much like a burrito. A purr-ito if you will.

Yeah the complete absence of any push back on ANYTHING is infuriating.

Too Bossy @toobossy.bsky.social · 4d

If every journalist/talking head pushed back with this to every insane announcement from these a-holes, maybe we’d get somewhere.

There’s no better sleep than the one after your spouse keeps you up ALL NIGHT with their snoring so they’re banished to the guest bedroom.

I think this was my introduction to TikTok. Still resonates.

My husband has corrupted my account. Where I once saw sci fi trailer analyses and best-of puppy compilations, I’m now bombarded by lawnmower reviews and fantasy football.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Encouraging all my Fragrance Friends to (if you haven’t already) ditch Fragrantica and start using Parfumo site/app. It has many of the same features, looks prettier and didn’t post a memorial statement for C.K.

RIP Jane Goodall.

WIRED @wired.com · 13d

Jane Goodall understood better than most the impact humans have had on the planet. Having witnessed so much environmental deterioration during her lifetime, she was as much an activist as a scientist.
