Pssst, hey kid. what are you doing this weekend. You wanna try some heartbreak? goes down real easy. there's a rock and she's funny (but then also the other thing)
I remembered another holiday cooking story, from when our kids were little and we'd taken over hosting Christmas dinner. (This one's a little gross; you've been warned.) Traditionally I made a Yule log for dessert, and traditionally there was a crisis involved in the making. 1/4
Senior yr: roasted a Butterball, made stuffing, everything smelling great, except I COULD NOT get the gravy to thicken in the least. Added more and more flour - nothing.
Tasted it and discovered someone had reused the plastic container that used to hold flour to hold powdered sugar instead.

yes, hello, I would like to place an order for everyone’s funniest stories of holiday food-related family grudges / drama / chaotic incidents / lore
I feel like we need this

we have overlooked the most likely reason raccoons are self-domesticating rapidly, which is that they have become aware of rfk jr & his dietary preferences

A fascinating and heartbreaking story of love, science, fey and desire, both named and unnamed for a person, or the idea of a person. And how that desire can cage us forever or set us free.

John Brown’s soul isn’t marching on while his body is lying a moulderin’ in the grave for you to be a doomer
I would like everyone who's been pearl-clutching about the hopeless and terminal descent into fascism in my replies to take a moment, look around, and think twice before telling me these guys are unstoppable.

trying something new...graphic design is pretty plainly NOT my passion, but you know what is my passion? This story I wrote about a prince of faerie's affair with Alan Turing.

convincing you to read my novel THESE DEATHLESS SHORES by sharing the first page ~ feel free to share yours if you'd like!
![[chapter marker—a silhouette of a fairy]
The Island tracked everything that washed ashore.
An invisible barrier surrounded it, a shimmering wall
a hundred kilometers in every direction. Canoes sank in
crossing; navigators lost sight of the stars. Later, trawlers and
airplanes split themselves against nothing, and the probes
they sent into the water returned out of sync or cracked
precisely down the middle.
Only the birds arrived unscathed. Only the foxes, floating
in on driftwood rafts.
So the Island embraced them with limestone arms and
swaying trees – as it did the corpses, the broken gunports.
Death is the way of things, after all, and who was it to
question the sea?](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:f3yjzasbymajtauls5m5arvd/bafkreigmi2w5u2nn6v6gmxlliwkhmjxyqkquismnhrftbi3l45pkc46viy@jpeg)

As the council says; “because without a tram line the city would be one massive traffic jam”.
