there it is tbh. she doesn’t care about your apparently fascinating stories. the reason she wants your earbuds out is so YOU can listen to HER

“to wong foo” is a cinderella story, change my mind

in an attempt to smell good™️ i subscribed to a perfume service and y’all. this nosferatu scent FUCKS. smells like winter air after a rain. very clean and light

lmfao I just saw a squirrel take a huge miscalculated leap and fall 20 feet out of a tree and he landed just fine and looked embarrassed

Just bums me out when people advocate for the Plagiarism Machine That Lies. Announcing to the world that you like abdicating your brain to the world's shittiest machine. Have an ounce of self-respect

walked the proposed course today. it’s WILD how much work our local disc golf club is going to do to the woods around our school to make the trail safe & walkable. they’re going to start work this weekend! y’all, the community WILL provide. sometimes they just need a dummy like me to get it started

When I left the Washington Post in 2023, my colleagues and I were worried AI would hoover up our work and enable "zombies" to churn out stories based on our reporting and writing styles. Today WaPo announced a partnership with OpenAI. And here it is: Zombie Gillian Brockell. I DID NOT WRITE THIS.

THE FIRST MOSQUITO OF SPRING

bought some flip books for my kids and let them draw in them during fun friday. most of the kids got bored after 10-15 minutes and switched to an ipad, except for my student whose mother described him as “a drawing addict” (he’s also the kid i was thinking of when i bought the flip books) 🥹😭💖

THANK YOU. There are people this accurately describes, and their lives are immensely worthwhile, and the value of our civilization is measured by how much they are protected and able to thrive.

I honestly can’t stop thinking about this RFK speech. A lot of the outrage around it is focused on pointing out that it’s not true. But so fucking what if it was? Do people whose bodies don’t work not deserve to exist in society? If all these things were true for a person are they less worthy?

Was actually planning on digging this back up since it’s *clears throat* very relevant

you heard it here first folks! if you’ve never played baseball you’re a drain on society and an untermensch. if you can’t go to the bathroom unassisted you are worse than nothing

there’s this like, uncurling or unclenching that my body and my mental state does after a long haul with no off days. it takes a long time for me to lock all my bones and feelings back into place, to transform from a giant cockroach back into a human. my joints crack and i sleep all day.
