Just letting unread messages from various opt-in subscriptions and vendors I've failed to mark as spam (just in case the next email has the end-all-be-all coupon, I guess) grow like kudzu over my Gmail accounts as a pre-summer treat.

I love dashes so much that I can get around writer's block just by reminding myself that I'll be able to em it up all I want. (OK, not really, but it's a nice thought.) When dummies start suggesting that using the en dash correctly is an AI tell is when I'll get *really* mad.

I don’t know when or understand why I became a “thanks so much” sayer, but it’s ineluctable now and so I try to really mean it.

One health issue I don't need to research because I know firsthand is the physical toll it takes, the mental impairment it causes, to steep myself in information every day that makes me want to scream, "Fuck you, you fucking nazi piece of shit," while instead sitting in stunned silence.

As has been widely and correctly noted, this is heinous and infuriating. I just want to add that Banks looks quite wee but also seems to have a weird wide butt.
