Waiting for the adrenaline and cortisol to clear my system so I can enjoy the fact that my husband apparently overrode my notifications blackout to tell me (over the phone) ☎️🚨🔔‼️ about some really good leftovers in the fridge

you will encounter more opportunities in life to change the batteries on a smoke alarm than you will to run into a burning building and no one gives a shit you changed those batteries but it is still very important and why are you waiting on a burning building, know what i’m saying, it’s a metaphor

Was OCR-searching for photo proof of a mug I'd found on a stoop in Brooklyn many years ago, and came across this forgotten pic of Roger and Terry recumbent-fighting
On a desk under a monitor are two orange and white cats slap-fighting while lying on their sides facing each other. Nearby is a mug that says "Have a nice day asshole!"

Has the G ever run? Science and archeology have yet to reveal to us mere mortals whether the G train is an actual route via which denizens are transported or if is merely a vast subterranean sculpture

A printout stuck to a wall or door with a magnet. It says, in silly florid font, Ladies please, you can't Handel me! Now Bach off! With an 18th century engraving under it of a man with two women.

There is also a crudely cut meme printed out below this which shows quote unquote acceptable behaviors on one side next to clip art (e.g., reading, listening to music, etc.) and on the other side under quote unquote not acceptable: an 18th century portrait of a man with the caption: Literally eating yourself to death by consuming 14 helpings of dessert

I don’t want to be too alarmist here but you’re all aware that the Nazis were hyperbolic idiots right? Like you have picked up on the fact that this is actually a core part of fascism?
