🎶And I can see you
Your bronze shield shining in the sun
Your hair all black and a nifty little kilt on
i can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of Sumer have gone🎶

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

One of the best feelings in life is that feeling of frenzied infatuation you have at the beginning of a new creative project.

This photo answers the question "What if a Muppet was also a knife"
I just came across my photos of this heron using its pointy face dagger to catch and eat a chipmunk. 😬 Today I feel like the chipmunk

i need to hear from other people in ministry, any type, who have cared for babies
I once found myself holding a Torah in its full regalia in a service & having to really concentrate in order to refrain from gently bouncing it like a baby.

King John was not a good man
He had his little ways,
& sometimes no one spoke to him
for days & days & days.
& round about December
The menu for his feast
Which offered all the Christmas feels
& brought on lots of joyful squeals
At one time had 10k eels!
And later that increased.

I cackle every time the picture I tweeted like 4 years ago of a page from a Lindy West book that made me scream with laughter, which subsequently exploded on like nineteen different platforms, recirculates past my eyeballs again

my brother sent it to me on Instagram once not knowing I took it 😂
This paragraph was a hell of a ride

EARLY CAT: What that?
HUMAN: A fish. You can eat them.
EARLY CAT: Mine now. I need it. I need the fish. Without fish I die. Gimmie fish.
HUMAN: But you're from the desert. How can you possibly-
EARLY CAT: WOE. WOE FOR KITTY. HUMAN INFLICTS A THOUSAND WOES ON-
HUMAN: God. Fine. Have it.

My kids keep begging for an elf to visit our house like they do their friends’ houses but like I’m sorry you will not be pleased when you wake up and the milk has curdled and our cattle die of miasma exposure but that’s what happens when you invite the duine uasal into your home.
