Is there an accepted phrase for an asshole brag? You know, like the opposite of a humble brag: someone is listing their terrible traits and saying they’re terrible, but secretly they are incredibly proud of said traits.

Having finished the episode, I say: awwww man. Poor guys.
(And if they could please cast some dudes who DON’T look exactly alike that would be fantastic. BB had to keep telling me which was which.)

In the pre-internet era, I had the last line of a poem stuck in my head for weeks. I took advantage of a trip to the university with my mother to visit the library. After a lot of searching by myself, I approached the reference librarian with my one remembered line, expecting her to laugh at me.
When I worked in an art library I had a patron arrange themselves in the shape of the sculpture they were looking for but could not name. Iirc we eventually found it. This was before Google image search so we had to use the Met catalog raisonne.
I worked in a music shop. Someone couldn't remember the lyrics or music of a song they were looking for so they danced to it in front of me. Strangely enough I still couldn't tell what song.

Nessie yesterday: No, I don’t want to go out. I don’t want to do anything except lie on your feet while you sleep off the effects of the vaccines. JUST LIE HERE NOTHING ELSE.

She’s a mercurial animal.

Me: Yes, it’s been a crappy day in a difficult couple of months, but why do I feel so atypically despairing?
Me: Also, why did I slam down an entire glassful of water as soon as I poured it?
Me: Oh. I hadn’t had anything to drink today and it’s 6:00.
Bodies get despairing over the weirdest shit.

Okay, Paul Simon is also welcome because he makes me think of @ellanorah.bsky.social. He can stay.
I’m in a doctor’s office waiting for the earthling (she’s fine), and the music is like:

- Horrible song
- Fleetwood Mac!
- Song you’d go back in time to prevent

- Stevie Nicks!
- A duet for double badness
- Can humans even hit that note?

Do you have a single phrase you’d like to erase from the world that is related to your profession? I, for example, would love to strike “dream school” from the record. Stop putting schools on pedestals!

Autocorrect, I do not live a life where I say "velocipede" more than "velociraptor," and furthermore I do not wish to lead such a life. (I also question whether anyone leads that life who isn't currently wearing Victorian garb and oppressing women by candlelight, but the key point is *I* don't.)

On the one hand, no thanks to the dudes who kept me pinned in my space for 15 minutes. On the other hand, thanks to them, because I swear I just saw this new Doc Martens owner make a Discovery about herself. By the time I managed to leave, her hearteyes for this butch were visible from SPACE
I’m in a parking lot where an older butch punk woman is teaching a college-aged woman how to care for/break in her new Doc Martens and it’s fucking adorable

Update: the earthling reports that the discussion will be continued for another class because it was so active. I know this teacher values engagement, but at this cost???
Kudos but also good fucking luck to the earthling's history teacher, who has chosen to do a deep dive and "respectful discussion" on Israel and Palestine with her religiously and politically diverse class. I saw the Miro opinions board she set up and let's just say the class runs the gamut.

My mom had actual shingles and it was agony AND the medications to treat it made her lose touch with reality. Like. We thought she’d had some kind of serious brain injury or event.
You don’t want shingles.
You don’t want shingles.
for what it's worth, i had the shingles vaccine last year and had zero side effects.
i had the actual shingles like 15 years ago and it was awful. i was always terrified of it coming back (the chicken pox virus can be reactivated randomly your whole life)

All over my FB people talking about their bad experiences with shingles vax and dissuading each other from getting it! We need to give people real info on how to mitigate the symtoms caused by vaccines because vaccines are always better than meeting a virus unprepared. Yet drs aren't coaching ppl
