Why are crinkle cut fries consistently bottom tier? They've got all these ridges yet no seasoning on them. Collectively a huge missed opportunity for humanity

I'm gonna be real excited when mustaches are no longer in vogue because these malnourished caterpillars on some of my students' top lips are almost too much to look at

I get irrationally annoyed when people specify the 1990's instead of just saying "the 90's". SO glad you clarified that your favorite movie didn't come out the same decade as the Kinetoscope, thank you

Okay, Chipotle employee, I know I'm as white as the driven snow but one look at me should tell you that you do NOT need to explain to me what queso is

One of the best articles I’ve read about the age we are entering. And it touches on something that we need to discuss more: in authoritarianism it is *logical* to cede power to those in power. Or rather, it is seemingly logical. Ultimately, even after you give in, they’ll come for you.

Just peeled and squished a whole bag of clementines for a Ninja Creami experiment while listening to a Warhammer book, so you can say that Friday nights get pa-retty crazy round here

More often than I'd like to admit, I catch myself thinking about the time in high school where I watched a kid tear open one of those hand warmer packets, line up the little grains of whatever, and snort it all - just to have an excuse to leave class. Karris, you've never left my thoughts.

We're all fellow travelers on the road, just trying to make it to our destinations, until you try to sneak into my lane well after the point where you knew you were supposed to merge. Then you can get fucked

You think you've ever felt totally lost before? Try rawdogging your first ever Warhammer 40K book because you thought that episode of Secret Level was pretty cool.

Everyone at the diner probably thought I was holding my phone sideways to do important work on Excel sheets or something. But they were, all of them, deceived, for I was actually playing games.

If you want to see what commitment phobia looks like just try asking your DND group who's going to DM the next campaign

If there's a better platonic feeling than walking into a restaurant and the waiter knowing your order and favorite table, then I haven't felt

This moment from L. Frank Baum’s “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” was immortalized in the movie with the Scarecrow’s beloved song, “If I Only Had A Psychopathic Ability To Kill Forty Crows With My Hands, One By One, By Breaking Their Necks”

If you don't like the skin on your potatoes then you're weak, your bloodline is weak, and you'll never survive the revolution

DnD campaign set in a magical library where every adventure is the party jumping into a book but they're all dogfolk so we're doing a Wishbone

@dresdencodak.bsky.social Every time I join (or rejoin - AHEM, Tumblr) a social media site, you're one of the first accounts I search for. You're great, your art is great, it's all just great. That's all.
