scientists know more about the surface of the moon than the ocean floor. not me though, i know the same about both

I watch videos of the "curly girl" method, because I think the before pictures kind of look like my hair, but then the after pictures are always like "now I use a simple 16-step routine and my hair looks like THIS "and it's a woman who looks like she's wearing a judge's wig that has been dyed auburn

The Man with the Yellow Hat walked into an ice cream store, ordered a cone, and went off to "run some errands" - LEAVING HIS PET MONKEY IN THE ICE CREAM STORE. The man is clearly a menace to society.

Sometimes I shut down my computer, as a treat.

The concept of hotels and the concept of vacation rentals have been having a fight in my youtube ads for months and they really need to know I am not going anywhere and can all calm down.

spent several minutes wondering if the tub was taking longer to fill than usual, then realized I had left the drain open. Sorry, the environment.

making a grocery list with my heart (there are four types of bread on there so far).

Tonight we watched True Grit (1969), and the biggest surprises were 1. I laughed at quite a few of the jokes and 2. Mattie's fits were 🔥 🔥 🔥

Gosh, at this rate it'll take weeks to polish the whole planet.

Mario Party was released in 1998, which is incredible because it is an ostensibly fun experience with friends which enrages you and causes you to have more enemies, and Facebook and Twitter didn't start until way later.

The insolvency of Ricki's and Cleo has hit hard in the 35-40-year-old academic staff demographic.

Almost 5 years ago, I set myself a goal to write down all the songs I have memorized, in the hopes of getting to 100. Yesterday I wrote down my 100th song!

happy charcuterie week everyone

"Pippen the Christmas Pig" got me so effed up I got teary-eyed imagining describing the plot to my Mom.

Surprising news about the nature of the Berenstain Bears

one of my favorite Christmas traditions is making up the baking trays and discovering multiple types of goodies I had totally forgotten we'd made

Honestly,the moon is most gibbous thing there is.

Me: I’ll mark this message as unread so I don’t forget to reply later Me literally five minutes later: Oh I have a new message!

I see someone I know!

Listening to a conversation about the way people panic about terms like "pregnant person" or "birthing person." My experience (just 2.5 years ago) was that most often, the (many) medical professionals I dealt with defaulted to "Mom" when referring to me.

The idea that the star is the most important Christmas decoration is an assumption based on a bias toward hierarchical positioning. The most important decoration on my tree is the Fat Bird.

My 2.5yo brought me a book to read to her and climbed up on the couch next to me and I pulled a blanket over us and she said, "oh ho ho! snuggly!!" and toddlers are very good, actually.

Thanks, holiday gift guide, but if I had a "Lego lover" on my list of giftees, I think I would be able to work out what to get them all by myself.

My elementary school classmates addressing my Valentines:

"Wow, you made a jigsaw puzzle with a screaming eagle in front of a cabin and a lake? Why don't you just call it "'Merica" "Sure thing boss."

Space cabbage.

The John Le Carré Advent Calendar - My cartoon for this week’s @theguardian.com Books. (with apologies to @realjohnlecarre.bsky.social and @harkaway.bsky.social)

When we were getting married, we registered at Bed Bath and Beyond. Part of the proces was having little meeting with one of the salespeople. One of the things they said (and I must emphasize this seemed completely earnest) was "you need six sets of towels for each person in your household"

Did you know that if you take a fish stick that has been in the fridge too long and cook it the recommended time, it can become a texture not unlike a dried-up kitchen sponge?

The Provincial government is hiring a "Tax Evasion Specialist" and Infeel like forwarding the job ad to someone could be a pretty sick burn.
