Happy Twin Peaks Day to all who celebrate! Also happy birthday to me

I have a lot of anxiety about travelling to new places on my own & I think itā€™s to my advantage that Iā€™m so short & clueless-looking because people really have been going out of their way to help me šŸ˜…

Iā€™m travelling for work so my husband had to take our dog to the office with him today & he just sent me this šŸ˜­ heā€™s shaped like a moomin!

Iā€™m so tired & delirious from lack of sleep that I sent this to my friend groupchat with no context whatsoever

Husband: Do you remember when there was that chess-playing robot that broke its opponentā€™s hand? Me: Yeah - Iā€™d do that TBH Husband: Me: What? Itā€™s one way to win

ā€œā€¦the evidence challenges the idea that technological progress in the Paleolithic Age only emerged in Europe and Africa, as the evidence implied that ancient civilizations in Southeast Asia were able to build sophisticated boats and ropes out of organic materials for sailing and open-sea fishing.ā€œ

My husband & I are unsure if we want to have a kid so last night we were weighing the pros & cons about it & I listed ā€œthey might grow up to be a standup comedianā€ as a con

DOGE is like if Fyre Festival was a government agency.

Regarding my last repost: let us also remember the Filipina ā€œcomfort womenā€ who were sexually enslaved by Japanese forces when they occupied the country

with gil won-okā€™s passing, there are only seven living ā€œcomfort womenā€ left, survivors of imperial japanā€™s system of sexual slavery

One time my husband & I were watching an interview with a Russian expert on North Korea & he mentions that when Kim Jong-un gets rid of one of his generals, his people edit them out of group photos & I blurted out "oh like Americaā€™s Next Top Model" & hubs had to pause it coz he was laughing too hard

This weekend in DW alongside the usual news roundup we're starting a new series looking into place names of West Fife! dunfermlineweekly.substack.com/p/dunfermlin... #Dunfermline #localnews #westfife

Thinking about distant familiarity of unknown neighbours across the tenement backs: an intimacy through objects.

Another day, another Redditor telling me Iā€™m not allowed to use the Filipino-Scottish hyphenated identity because I didnā€™t grow up in Scotland, even though Iā€™ve lived here for almost a decade now & my dad is Scottish šŸ«
