It's ridiculous that making an appointment for a tattoo fills me with terror, but not the tattoo part itself.

I don't think the image I found that said the Buldak Carbonara is very low on the Scoville scale was entirely truthful. Either way I'm clearly not built for the spicier flavors.

I went to a used book store and got 6 books (4 that were on my TBR, 2 for my kid) which cost me only $39. If you know anything about the price of books in Canada, you understand how excited I am.

Incredible to see a woman my age try to take credit for a concept I've heard about as a child in the 90s. True crime girlies really think they're smarter than everyone else.

I haven't posted anything in 18 days and I'm suddenly getting a lot of new followers. The people making those bots have no idea how to be at least a bit subtle.

The irony of my health care card being expired right now is that I intended to go renew it this week but now I can't because I'm too sick to even leave my bedroom. It's terrifying tbh

It might be because I've got a fever, but the What We Do In The Shadows confused me.

every year around christmas time the ballet dancers who play the rats in the nutcracker come out with a series of unexplained banger tiktok videos and anyway this is my favorite part of the holiday season

i really really enjoyed this show #AgathaAllAlong

I'm seeing people say Receiptify and stats fm have much more accurate top artists/songs for the year than Spotify and yeah I don't know about that, because both receiptify and statsfm are putting a band I've actively avoided most of the year as my 2nd top artist.

I've been talking to Americans online for about 20 years and I still don't understand what deductibles and premiums are. Why the fuck do some influential people in my country want to import that fucked up system, it makes no sense.

The anniversary of my grandmother's death was just a couple of days ago, and now my great-grandfather is dying. It's the end of the term at school. I have no idea how I'm going to keep it together.

You can absolutely count on white cis people to waste no time yelling at Black and trans people for not being sufficiently sad about the passing of a racist transphobe.

You know that scene in Community when Troy comes back with the pizzas and everything is on fire? This is how it feels like to come back to this website after being away for a while. Wtf is happening?

Love to realize I didn't do the assignment correctly only after turning it in. Big fan of the monthly brain fog that is definitely going to derail my studies.

Two sides of a memento mori pendant carved from ivory. On one side is a cadaver crawling with worms and amphibians. The other side is a finely dressed woman. From the Wernher Collection at Rangers House #skystorians #mementomori

There's a lot of wrongs with the current Quebec government, but this plan to improve abortion access is surprisingly good.

I watched Hot Frosty yesterday. Was it good? No. Did I enjoy it? Yes.

On birthday of Louis Daguerre, born today in 1787, a thread featuring some notable examples of the photographic process that bears his name. First up, as self-reflexive an image as one could imagine: a daguerreotype portrait of a daguerreotypist displaying his wares www.getty.edu/art/collecti...

It's getting cold, and this is the closest we'll ever get to the cats cuddling with each others.

Canada Post workers are on strike, and my attempts to google how to support them only show me endless articles about "what you need to know about your mail".

Imagine how many people could change society if they weren’t so busy just trying to survive it.

Oh no. I just remembered that time when I asked my (cishet) mother if she'd heard from my cousin, and she corrected me, saying my cousin was trans and used he/him pronouns. I had referred to my cousin by his chosen name. No pronoun used, clear indication I knew about his transition 👁👄👁

I’ve seen enough lib memes from the past few days that solely rely on this trope of “haha what if (insert Republican) was actually a WOMAN? 🤣🤣🤣🤣” so I’m making yet another mute list lmao

make up sex? but it already exists.

I'm in the (slow) process of restructuring my wardrobe to better align with who I am, and I'm sometimes worried I'm not sending the right message with my outfits, but today someone saw my phone case is a Halloween one and said it was very "me", so I'm going in the right direction.

Being unmotivated to do a school project about motivation... 🤌

Libraries are precious and beautiful and must be defended

Calls "for the left to appeal to young men" rest on the idea that these kids are becoming incels because they secretly want better social programs, that is, justice. They don't. They want the power specifically promised to them by white heteromasculinity, which is the power to be UN-just.

She's wearing a mask today. Shaming works!

At a certain point I think you have to conclude that the allegation that Harris ran a “woke” campaign comes from something other than the substance of anything she said.

It's such a weird feeling of grief to find out that yet another beloved place in my hometown has closed down, even though I haven't visited since 2010.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Something I’ve been carrying around with me that I can’t fully articulate is the anger and absolute disgust knowing that millions of Black men have had untold opportunities denied to them for being convicted of felonies by the system but this racist mediocre white man gets to be elected president.
