Here, finally, is the crisp. I made it with wild blackberries and black raspberries I foraged this summer. It smells and tastes better than it looks!

“Gravyboat Lighthouse” commercial from “Conan” back in 2010.
One of the stupidest things we ever did, from the brilliant mind of Andres du Bouchet. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! #Thanksgiving

Maybe the weirdest email I've ever received. It's from a complete stranger, about a tweet I posted 5 years ago.
Note that my Twitter account is now dormant and locked, and has been for many months, so I don't think Jim could've found the tweet recently. How did he remember me as the author of it?

Americans can all agree that this Wednesday is actually, spiritually, a Friday. So the few ways in which it is still behaving like a Wednesday are befuddling me.

Everybody shut your pie holes! You're all making me crave pie, and there is no pie to be found in my home.
(I plan to make myself a berry crisp for my own solitary Thanksgiving, but that's two days away and not the same as pie.)

For a few years in a row, my little prank was to sneak "The Bells Are Ringing" into the festive Christmas morning playlist at my parents' house. Bells vaguely suggest Christmas, right?
If anyone even noticed the eerie sci-fi lyrics, they never said anything.

This reminds me of the time in 7th grade when my social studies class was talking about the richest man in the world, who, at that time (1995-96), was Bill Gates. One kid identified Gates as "the guy who invented Windows."
My family didn't have a ton of money... (1/🧅)

Door gotta be older than wheel, right? Like I’ve never even thought about doors being invented
The fact that it’s the doors pisses me off so bad. We have had doors figured out for thousands of years. There was no need for innovation in this arena

I've been pondering this too, and I think what infuriates me about it-- in addition to the blatant misogyny --is how clearly it shows that we all, as ordinary adults, easily hold ourselves to much higher standards of speech and behavior than THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES is currently held to.
I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.
