I cannot emphasize enough that what he's singing here, obscured by beeps, is "If your boyfriend doesn't eat your ass, he'd better fuck off"

I've gotten to the point in my life where dudes doing a bunch of crotch grabbing when they're dancing it just looks like they need to go pee to me.

Appreciating the fanficcers dropping their new works right now too.
Shout-out to all the brand marketers whose companies made them login during the game so they could launch the "halftime flash sale" emails.

Thought about doing more sewing after spending most of this afternoon on the portfolio because I could get a lot of the oranges done but instead I'm going to drink a ridiculously large cocktail.

23F outside and my husband is lighting the chimney started for the charcoal grill while balanced precariously on an unshoveled ice hillock. Thought about how much I didn’t want to explain that to the attending at the ER so went out with the shovel after to clear the ice.

I hate making practice pieces in stuff I don’t like because what if it comes out good in the end but also what if I waste good fabric on a shitty practice piece? And usually I end up with something okay but not great. Today’s reason I was yelling about binding: a zipper case.

Fuck binding into the sea!

Love to tell a parent “hey, your kid can’t control your dog and it’s endangering other people” and getting a “thanks for your feedback” response that you can tell means they aren’t going to do a fucking thing about the situation.

Last night’s dream theatre was once again “back to uni but I don’t know my classes or where they are” with a bonus mass shooting and hiding in non-Euclidean buildings so that sucked.

Is craftivism performative? Yes. That's the point. Resistance includes a public demonstration of opposition at accessible events with a low barrier to entry.

The red resistance hat pattern has raised $300k for the people of Minnesota. That's not effective?
Angela, the pussy hats weren't very effective. Knitting is cool, especially if you put resistance messages in it, but it's not resistance. It's performative. It's only actually effective if you're a spy and putting messages in or something. Otherwise it's a hobby, and the pussy hats were just silly.

Husband told me about this earlier tonight and I was like "Matt the transmisogynist?" but no, it's "female presenting nipples" guy!
He’s best known in internet lore for
his infamous 2018 “female presenting nipples” memo. Now he will ensure democracy doesn’t die in darkness www.buzzfeednews.com/article/remy...

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work.

“What exactly are you trying to learn from this?”

Took the dogs out for walks and survived! Actually, my Carhartt knock off is so warm that everywhere it covered was too hot. My eyes and the exposed skin around them are very cold. We put two layers on Meatball and he seemed fine.
