Get in my purse, we're going shopping.

It must be so weird for her to not lie. Imagine saying true things, you don't need to work hard to remember them, and facts even back you up.

That craftsmanship is incredible. Cutting, polishing, inserting all those little gems must have taken ages. And imagine doing all that tiny work without spectacles or a magnifying glass.

In France we've had five I think. We've been thinking of writing a sixth one since I was a kid. We don't worship our constitution, not because it's bad but because it's just a legal document and not a holy relic. We don't teach our kids we're the best nation on earth.

Why are you sharing a picture of a warzone?

"involuntary lethal injections" to solve homelessness. They say that on TV now. And they mean it. They've always meant it.

The people who sign up for ICE think it is a very cool thing for a president to say. Very cool and strong and badass and manly and very easy to understand.

"Kill them all and let God sort them out". A technique familiar to those who've studied the Albigensian Crusade.

I hate that well very much.

I bought a bird ladder for the bunny sand box in my garden because I didn't want mice to get stuck. It was a 15 cm high wall. That well is just cruel.

Also, hug.

Put a dynamo at the mouth. Free energy.

Don't underestimate the power of The Mailbox That Pits Bones At People.

Crazy idea: stream or vod yourselves on YouTube playing Animal Crossing multiplayer or something. Don't even bother with a cam, a mic is enough. Not even for money, just to hang out.

I watch Lisa Fevral's Let's Plays and they're technically the worst 😆.

I'm still confused about Obama's, though.

The foldable bike told me anything I ever needed to know about you. You deserve to be smug, because it is very cool.

The Dragon Age website used to have a "Felicia Day" button featuring prominently in its main navbar.

I know because I never played or really looked into the game but I wanted to see what she did. They had made it easy.

That's what Alex Jones warned everybody about! It started with the frogs, and it's spreading. 😱

Meanwhile the ICE thugs want to look badass but just look like losers.

That reminds me that I need to buy new hiking shoes. Mine are falling apart and they hurt. But I'm used to them so every day I forget. There, it's written on a post-it, that's my quest for tomorrow morning.

I had never heard the terms "kei" and "midi" in the context of games sizes. What's does "kei" even mean?

Lynn Winx @lynnwinx.bsky.social · 1d

Who's CHIM now?

(Btw the noun is "prophecy" with a c, pronounced "see". "Prophesy" is the verb, pronounced "zi").

Lynn Winx @lynnwinx.bsky.social · 2d

What game is that?

Lynn Winx @lynnwinx.bsky.social · 2d

Reaching 30.

I'll duckduckgo it.

I never heard the word "chowder" without "clam" before it. And because of the clams, I was never interested. Can one make a chowder from edible things like mushrooms or bellpepper? Or does it have to creep me out?

Lynn Winx @lynnwinx.bsky.social · 3d

Wtf. What even is the point of non-vegan margarine?

Thanks for making me realize I had to pay attention to one more thing. I wouldn't have thought of that.

It always surprises me when people expect games to save. I grew up when games didn't. Nothing had autosave, not games, not MS Word.

I still don't rely on autosave; I've never reloaded an autosave in Skyrim because I don't know when they're made.

I was traumatized. I envy your optimism.

As someone who's never watched a match of anything in their life, I can't really relate, but you seem excited and these days we need that energy! Burn that ice! Maybe?
