It's not just a cursed timeline we live in but also one where the Catholic church gets to rehab it's image? *screams*
Me, a person who lived in one of the most Catholic states in the US when they had an ironclad grip on local schooling, charities, hospitals & doing what they want to your children.

Is it normal now to do a blood test on an 11 week kitten? Feels scammy to me but I haven't had a kitten in over a decade so...?
(Just feels like leukemia would pop up symptom wise on it's own pretty quickly without needing an expensive/invasive test for ALL kittens for it??)

That 2.5 seconds from ELATION to *cold sweats* whenever Concerned Ape announces another Stardew Valley update is coming is a real journey. Whew.
Gotta start limbering up my atrophied *125 hours spent in record time per new save file* muscles to prep.

The HIGH I feel having my UK package get through this mess right under the wire and actually be delivered today.
(Tried my best to support small, woman run businesses before they had to shut down US shipping. It’s going to be devastating to some sellers I love. 🤬)

Love to randomly break my new $600 iPad mini. (Unplugged it and half the screen is toast/black.) Delayed reaction from dropping it earlier in the day? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Whelp, back to using the 6 year old obsolete one. 😬

Grew up in this neighborhood during this time period. Loved the look of it but never went there. 😕
Parents really only took us to restaurants with ‘different’ food, like Chinese. Had a point, I guess. My mother honestly could cook anything the diner had just as well as they could.

Greenville Gourmet, early 90's, Emerald Square Mall. It was a local Jewish deli type place that had a street level spot, great sandwiches, pickles, hand made choc truffles/desserts. The sesame chicken sandwich in particular lives rent free in my head for the rest of my life. Sooo good!
I don't want to hear about your lost loves, tell me about the restaurant food that haunts you because you'll never be able to taste it again

Almost fell into the trap of leaving a comment with unsolicited Actually Correct Information to someone who was very, very wrong in their assessment of something. Whew. *deletes draft*

Rot in hell, Strom Thurmond
Sen. Cory Booker—a Black man—just BROKE segregationist Strom Thurmond's record for longest floor speech in US Senate history.
Thurmond spoke for 24 hours 18 minutes in opposition to civil rights.
Booker has now spoken for 24 hours and 19 minutes against Trump's abuses against Americans' rights.

You have to have not had a period in a year to 'technically' be in menopause but, let's be honest, it's really the day you throw the emergency tampon away that's been in your purse all these years. Then you know it's OVER. 🥺

Friendly reminder that Joann Fabrics isn’t closing because it’s a bad business. It’s closing bc it was bought by a private equity firm. This is also what is happening to Hooters and what happened to US Toys R Us and Red Lobster. These companies are being dismantled intentionally.

Went with a mashed banana and a little melted butter instead of the eggs. Was….fine? Little crumbly.
(Obviously not a great sub if you don’t want them tasting banana-y. I ain’t mad at that tho.)

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. The neighbors chickens have stopped laying for over a month and I am now forced to hunt/procure eggs like a pleb for the first time in 3-4 years.
Buying eggs is easy, right? RIGHT?!?

I’m not saying the news has been bad or anything but I’ve *quite literally* eaten 2/3rds of a jar of chili crisp in a week trying to chase some joy.
As far as stress eating goes, that’s not a…..terrible fixation? I think? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Whelp. I didn't *quite* finish reading the 1,700 page trilogy (Farseer) I started last week to immediately begin the newest dragon smut book (Onyx Storm) that came out today. Plans. RUINED.
Dragon smut will have to wait another day. 😁
