The hayfever will be very real for the next few months, but it might be worth it 😍😍
My Instagram algorithm is now basically all Wicked, all the time, and probably will be for the next month at least. I'm not upset about it. 💚🖤💖

My dog has a harness with rainbow unicorns with wings on it, and she loves jumping off furniture, so I always sing "I believe I can fly" to her once it's on and in the lift, and I just realised where I got that genius idea from... www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJSH...

If we don't test for COVID, then there's no COVID! If there's no flights, then there's no late flights! Brilliant!
If you just cancel flights, then they're actually not late! Brilliant stuff from Sean Duffy here

Five minutes into Wayward and the problem is I know Toni is *so* good and I love her *so* much that I'm already a bit terrified of just how creepy this might end up. 🙈

the symbolism of “Trump destroying the White House for a overpriced luxury vanity project, during a government shut down, days after a historically-large mass demonstration against his regime called “No Kings”’ would be rightly viewed as laying it on a little thick if it was in a work of fiction

This is truly depressing and if those of us who refuse to use AI have to change our style and voice so it doesn’t look and sound like AI, that means AI has already won.
You will never—and I can’t stress this enough—take my em dashes away from me.

I was told that something I wrote for my day job sounded unprofessional and unpolished because there was an em dash so I am officially no longer using the em dash. I have tried to stick it out but I don’t have the mental strength to deal with this. Very sad day for me.

Seeing those pics of the WH being bulldozed reminds me of that scene in The Residence on Netflix where it's like, "because X *hates* this house and everything it stands for." Yeah, is it obvious now??!!

And no fucking wifi appliances either
Begging people to strip this surveillance gear out of their homes. No Alexa, no Nest thermostat, no Ring cameras, no gd internet linked refrigerators. An actually zone of privacy, for God’s sake.

“It won’t interfere with the current building. It’ll be near it but not touching it — and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of," Trump said in July. “It’s my favorite. It’s my favorite place. I love it.”

Friendly reminder: if you ever feel imposter syndrome creeping in, just watch a few clips of RFK Jr. explaining “science.”
Confidence is not the same as competence, and somehow, that’s both terrifying and reassuring.
