At #Chivalry is Dead, our zombies have been imbued with the courteous nobility of ages past. They will hold doors, carry packages, and stand vigil outside your home. They still eat living brains, sure, but only those of blackguards, ne'er-do-wells, and rapscallions.

When I was a crab fisherman, I hated the deep pots, the ones that went below the #aphotic zone. Sometimes you'd haul one up, and it'd be full of ghost-white crabs with too many legs and faces on their shells, faces that looked like people you once knew, people who’d died.

I'm looking at free stock photos on Unsplash. Why is it impossible to find a picture of hands where one or both people don't wear a wedding ring? Is ring pic the only reason to ever take photos of hands? Smh

❌ Finally identified the godawful scent so many men seem to be wearing 🤢
