After months of yearning, I have acquired Casey’s pizza and it was delicious (11/10) but this logo rebrand is offensively terrible. It looks like a logo for a farm supply store who stole Culver’s font and took out the cursive bits. (0/10) WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE!?!

A moka pot is $15. Get fine ground coffee, gently pack the grounds into the filter, fill the bottom with water, screw on tight, and put on the stove.
While that's going, heat milk in the microwave then use a $10 frother on it.
Syrups are $5 for a giant bottle.
DO NOT CROSS THE PICKET LINE.

I’m so bummed about the Lloyd Center giving up the ghost next year, but I’ll be at MALL RATS on Dec 20 with a bunch of other local artists for one last hurrah!!
Well it's been a good run. Mall Rats was created in the ashes of 90s consumerism @ Lloyd center. It was a great experiment & will continue with or without the mall! On that note come celebrate possibly our last Xmas there on Dec 20 & support small local artists! Thanks for ur years of support! ✌️🥨🐀🎄

It's much easier to get help or support as a Black woman once you're dead. But when it comes to getting support to stay alive. It's incredibly hard. And people tend to minimize your struggles and assume you'll be okay. And that you're exaggerating. When you're pleading for help.
