I don’t like to throw around words like “trauma” but today I saw someone peel a banana from the bottom.

I have no clue where it lives and I’m fine with that.

Trying to figure out if I have to upload documentation to prove to the Anthropic settlement folks that Harper-Collins is a duplicate of Harlequin or if they’re prepared to take my word for it.

If you’re in need of some slow-paced gentle viewing, go to Netflix and pull up any of the Korean romance series. Literally any one. Bonus points if the main character can see ghosts/is reincarnated.

Rolling back hiring bans on donkeybonkers seems VERY SPECIFIC. Like “oh we really wanted to hire Karl but there was that one time in Ohio with that goat…”

Dreamt Michael B. Jordan was a quadruplet and all four were so excited to learn I was from San Antonio because we were going to rank our fave Tex-Mex restaurants. It was very wholesome.

This morning, the Coldstream Guards at Buckingham Palace performed a tribute to Dolly Parton. The last time I remember the guards at the palace honoring the memory of an American entertainer was when they paid tribute to Aretha Franklin after she passed away.

Usually when folks die, even mostly loved ones, there’s folks being like “well, actually” and pointing out some bad shit the person did I love that with Dolly it’s folks pointing out even NICER shit she did in private

-why is it the ONLY unforgivable sin?" And then she told me, "I finally figured it out. The Holy Ghost is that part of God that lives in everybody, and the way you sin against it is by not loving everybody with all your heart, for exactly who they are."

“Sorry, I can’t resist posting the very thing you asked me not to because I’m a special smol unicorn.” This kind of delusional and unwarranted confidence must be so toasty warm. Like cashmere.

Boost it, move it on, and understand that you’re probably getting 10% of the market value if you’re lucky. The stealing is not the hard part. It’s what comes AFTER.

Swamps are EXCELLENT. Again, you probably need a boat.

Deanna Raybourn @deannaraybourn.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

Her reasoning is sound, but if you’re not a boat person already it’s hella suspicious. Burial is fine but you HAVE to dismember, exsanguinate, bury the parts separately. Not one big hole, six smaller ones. Then plant a small tree or shrub on each and don’t forget a pretty ground cover.

Saw someone leave a nasty comment on a DIY IG post and clicked on their profile to block. It was private, but the bio said “I’ve been leaving mean and pissy comments. I’m sorry. I’m very unhappy.” Kudos for the self-awareness, I guess? But stop spewing your sewer-water on other folks and GET HELP.

Apparently soup has been given a glow-up and is now being touted as “water-based cooking.” Y’all go on without me. I’m just going to sit right here.

Why is it “maisons de vacances” when both the maison and the vacance are plural? 😭 I know there’s a reason. French is logical. Or is this where I just shrug and smoke as I gaze pensively into the middle distance?

I know we’re all obsessed with the Zara death pants, but I’ve got a pair of wide-legged Vuoris that could catapult you down the stairs and smile while they did it.

there is literally no amount of caveats or careful wording that will protect you from stupidity or bad faith, so you might as well say things straightforwardly and strongly to begin with.
