It begins
A pot of cranberries, sugar, salt, orange peel, cinnamon, water, and pomegranate molasses on a stove. The cranberries are gorgeous and vibrant.

From the replies, bc I think it’s kind of weird to repost an entire conversation, but relevant to like half of y’all
- currently trying to imagine Riker running through the Interview With a Vampire universe - he would've given that entire theatre group space clamydia [sic] - i would watch a show about space clamydia [sic] infected vampires is all i'm saying

The priest just kinda laughed
The deacon caught a draft
She crashed into the Easter mass
With her hair done up in broken glass
She was limping left on broken heels
And she said “Father, can I tell your congregation how a resurrection really feels?”
The Pope, like he’s singing “How a Resurrection Really Feels” from Separation Sunday by the Hold Steady

Amazing how the podcast did this on its own with no direction from its hosts
the podcast originally was associated with the socialist ideals of the Bernie Sanders-loving "dirtbag left," as the movement called itself. But over the years it evolved into a reaction against liberal wokeism and found itself gravitating to figures on the far right.

Watching how much Astro and Wishbone enjoy cat TV has brought me a lot of happiness
Wishbone and Astro sitting on our dresser watching a stream of birds on the TV. Wishbone is reaching up to try to touch a bird. Astro on the dresser, reaching up to touch Brennan Lee Mulligan on the screen

I am not sure how I feel about this (found on Letterboxd), but my first thoughts are Zendaya is way too young and Glen Powell is too WASP

Get you a man that holds your cat in his arms so said cat has a better view of Bird TV
Zach, a white man with red hair and a red beard, holds Astro, a black cat, up so that Astro can get closer to the livestream of birds that’s playing on the TV

This story is incredible but I feel weird about QTing, so I’m just gonna link www.gq.com/story/john-d...
When I ask Liz at the front of the line, who has been to so many Mountain Goats shows she won't confess the actual number, why she keeps coming back, her father, Dick, says, "You don't understand addiction, do you?" She laughs, then adds a more measured response: "You jump up and down and yell, T'm going to make it through this year if it kills me, and then you make it through this year," she says. And then you come back? "And then you come back."

Filling out the “legislative priorities” survey I get from my dipshit state rep, and yes, I would also like Texas to do things that are scientifically impossible
The State should create and implement a standardized field test to determine marijuana intoxication. Strongly Agree Agree Not Sure Disagree X Strongly Disagree My write in comment: LOL this is not possible
