The most I bite my tongue in a year is when my in-laws ask what roads we took to get there.
I don't know why it drives me so crazy but God, it's just the least interesting thing I can think of

Man, we're trying! I made little handout versions of this list for my library. The Dewey number changes based on your library's collection, btw
Sometimes I think it’s going to be the librarians who will save us all.

Chris had never seen So I Married an Axe Murderer so we're watching it. It doesn't hold up as well as I'd hoped, sadly.

Everyone stop acting weird and shocked about MTG. She has been systematically distancing herself from the current GOP for months and months. She has a plan reform herself under a new image ON THE RIGHT that’s not part of a sinking ship.

North American possums can't get rabies because their body temperature is too cold, and squirrels can't* get it because they're too fast.

Just spent a couple hours consoling a coworker because her brother was detained. He's being sent to Colombia tomorrow.
I kept my anger to myself and got a little care package together for her niblings, who are going there too.
I make shake entirely apart when I get home. I'd prefer it, I think.

I feel like maybe it’s a function of everyone online being born in 2002 but I don’t think most people realize how openly and explicitly pedophilic american culture was until like… maybe 10 years ago

One of the things about changing, growing, is that even if it is for real, you should not *expect* forgiveness from people you've harmed. That's kind of the cost of what you did in the first place.
Okay, below is a response to me about Marjorie Taylor Greene, and while it's lovely that this person wants to give her the benefit of the doubt, I--a person she has harmed--will never do that.
You may be right, but if you leave no room, no possibility for people to change, how do you expect people to change?

I wasn't able to catch the Scotland game, just learned they qualified, and watched a highlight video.
Jesus Christ, I've never cried about sports like this. I literally saw a Scottish folk band once who had a whole joke about the next words after the anthem being "And it's disaster for Scotland!"
