i remember saying this about one of my pet rats once 😂. he was the bigger, older brother and he always seemed more stressed and sad than his younger brother. "uneasy lies the head that wears the crown"? i thought--richard ii?

well it’s in antagonism with the subculture that’s gotten way more woke on this. it reacts more strongly the stronger team gender complexity is

i’m touched by the things people leave. marbles that look like earth are always popular but frex i was wondering about the mortarboard, if it had come from a student at the high school, very nearby, or the ID badge w the us flag (some federal agency that does science stuff)

i think of the cheap english teas as assam. i don’t always know ofc but used to get some english brand—yellow and red box, Lion?—that tasted exactly like the default tea you got in england. reading the small print told me it was assam. hard to get tea that tastes like anything in the us

one of the embarrassing legacies of the english side of my family (english and israeli, how cool is that 🤮) is how i like tea—cheap, strong, w milk & a little sugar. anyway, put too much milk in my tea. here’s what’s going on outside. i want to get out and walk around. also kinda english

sorry @dollyzoom.bsky.social i'm sure you've gotten this so many times. but there's just something about being told "it didn't work" when you were in pain and it did. along with "there's no evidence you're sick." ok.
