The most stressed out I've ever been about Christmas was when I was 16 and I got my first ever job, working at M&S in Dundrum. As soon as I started I kept hearing these myths about the Christmas Eve Waste Sale, where all the food that wasn't sold on the 24th was marked down 90%.

A funny thing about Jersey Italian and suburban Chicago Italian is that our families come from mostly the same places in Italy, so we sound the same. I'll share this explanation before I head to da Jewel's.

hey spain, what?
log with painting of a face, it has a nose and two legs and is covered with a blanket wikipedia excerpt: The form of the Tió de Nadal found in many Catalan homes during the holiday season is a hollow log about 30 cm (12 in) long. Recently, the Tió has come to stand up on two or four stick legs with a broad smiling face painted on its higher end, enhanced by a red sock hat (a miniature of the traditional barretina) and often a three-dimensional nose. Those accessories have been added only in recent times, altering the more traditional and rough natural appearance of a piece of wood. Beginning with the Feast of the Immaculate Conception (December 8), one gives the tió a little bit to "eat" every night and usually covers him with a blanket so that he will not be cold. The story goes that in the days preceding Christmas, children must take good care of the log, keeping it warm and feeding it, so that it will defecate presents on Christmas Day or Eve. [4]

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

this whips: when Dua Lipa asked Helen Garner to do an interview for her book club, the Australian literary icon had to ask her grandsons who the pop star was.

"The younger one shouted, “What the actual FUCK?” and rushed out to tell his girlfriend."

even if you don't know what this story was about, you gotta imagine it's a bad sign when you have to explain a "controversial Belfast event"

time for my new favorite tumblr post
A tumblr text post by user nitewrighter, set up as a dialogue. Me: I don't get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now? The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances. Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW. Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.

Here’s a quick sketch as a thank-you for embedding that verse in my head ALL BLOODY DAY…
An illustration of a bisected Minion lying on a plate in front of a hungry Gru, sat with cutlery clenched in his fists and a modesty cloth covering his eyes and concealing the shameful act from The Lord The text below is quoting @brainmage’s magnificent verse from the original post.

Not true. I'll give you some examples of when styles crossed over from womenswear to menswear, and how men have worn straight-up womenswear or just feminine styles in cool ways. 🧵
A screenshot from Twitter. The original tweet reads: "Rapper Kenderick Lamar wore size 29 women's jeans to Super Bowl LIX." The tweet garnered over a thousand replies, most negative. I (Derek Guy) screenshotted that tweet and wrote: "so funny to see history repeat itself. men who wear slim fit and stretch denim—both of which were once considered strictly for women—criticizing kendrick for wearing flares bc they were on the women's aisle. in ten years, you'll be in flares clutching pearls about something else" Then another user replied to my tweet, saying: "Wearing women’s clothes has never been in style, homo."
