🚨I IMPLORE YOU to use alt-text when you post any image, screen cap, or post of a screed/tidbit from this or a different site. Otherwise people using screen readers are seeing a steady flow of
"OMG"
"This seems bad"
"👀"
"Well that's not good"
with no context
& that is INCREDIBLY ANXIETY-INDUCING

Y’all I’m really enjoying the pie discourse.

We have to do more ridiculous shit like this.

We can’t just torture ourselves and each other all day every day with trauma.

It’s good to sometimes have some silly fun and remember that happiness still exists and we should fight for more of it.

Timeline cleanse. This is delightful. I love the background laughter of the people filming the dogs.

OK probably half of you are gonna break up with me over this but... We're not doing cranberry sauce this year. Neither whole-berry nor canned.

I'm grown enough to finally admit that I don't actually like it. I just have nostalgia about it.

Crucially, by upholding their constitution and the rule of law, Brazil discovered that support for Bolsonaro evaporated save for a dwindling minority of die-hards and dead-enders. Because Brazilians see Bolsonaro as a criminal and a loser, they've largely moved on from him.

Could've been us...

my take on Food Discourse is that it's always ridiculous but it's also nice to be fighting about dumb internet shit again instead of dealing with Oppressive Despair all the time so please keep posting your bad takes

This. I want to read the bad food takes, I want to hear all about your hiding place at your in-laws while the uncles fight, I want to know the weirdest holiday traditions you have. I want to rank Thanksgiving side dishes. All of it.

Mother-in-law realized she didn't have tiny marshmallows to to the sweet potatoes so she grabbed the comically oversized campfire marshmallows she did have. Later she asked someone to take the sweet potatoes out and they were like "the only thing in there is the stuffing and rolls."

I have long had an obscure, complex theory about Susan Collins that explains these things.

Susan Collins is terrible and anyone who ever suggested she is a moderate is a liar or a rube.

That's it. That's the whole thing.
In case anyone is wondering what kind of campaign Collins intends to run next year, now we know. No achievements, only hate:

Susan Collins backs referendum to overturn Maine’s protections for transgender students
Collins' office said she signed onto the petition because she agrees with President Donald Trump’s interpretation of Title IX.

3 weeks ago, Senator Collins wouldn't tell us where she stood on protecting Mainers from gun violence because it was a state issue that "she doesn't usually weigh in on." But she'll make an exception for excluding trans kids #mepolitics
