THIS is why I bother shopping at the mall down the hill from my apartment. THIS is why I avoid buying from Amazon or online retailers as much as I can. THIS is why I enjoy working as a manager at a shoe store. It is a genuine JOY to get to shop, and to help people shop, and we need to preserve it

If Dolly was our constant reminder that it was Good to be Good, Tim Curry was our reminder that it was Good to be Weird. Embrace your strangeness, sing with Muppets, wear your lingerie with a leather jacket, and fuck with uptight people who hate anything that makes them remotely uncomfortable.

Hello, Thanatos? Yes, hi, the human race here, we were just wondering if you could go have a quick chat with the Furies on WHICH old people need their souls reaped, I think there’s been a miscommunication somewhere

I swear I'm going to be on the FRONT LINES fighting against the Amazon-ification of the world because not only is the joy of shopping in person and the convenience of seeing the item in person unmatched, but also because that way you don't get sent something TEN SIZES BIGGER THAN WHAT YOU ORDERED

I have this thread saved but I'm also reposting it again because I have been on the job hunt again for a bit and my brother just sent me a dozen listings in my preferred sector that I do not feel remotely qualified for but he has made me swear I'm going to apply to them all, I need Kerry's strength

Okay so the real villain here is organizations like Phantom Fireworks that are *charging their contractors money and rental fees for their stand if they dont keep it open*. They emailed all their stand workers saying *this was still the case even after Cox announced the ban*. What the actual fuck

Apparently my course correction in response to the advent of Google AI is that I've come to despise googling things altogether now. Like, consistently one of my family members will mention something I haven't heard of and I'll go "Oh, what's that?" and when they tell me "just google it" I see red

Sometimes I question my small desire to be an English teacher and then I go on twenty-minute rants about the importance of poop jokes in the English literary tradition at 3 am and that’s when I think I might actually be perfect for it

Pierre Bourdieu once argued that the question of whether something is art isn't answered by the artist's intention or even the object itself. Instead, the quality of being "art" is conferred by a community — curators, dealers, auction houses, audiences, etc. 🧵

Someone on Threads writes: "The Met Gala feels like real dystopian shit.

People can’t afford groceries or gas. But we’re going to celebrate this event which is nothing more than wealth porn."

There's plenty of things I could say about this that have probably already been said, but the thing that really *confuses* me is why he's so *angry*. This is the man whose whole campaign was predicated on "just smile and wave" and suddenly he's throwing around lines like this?

“If you saw [the CEO] eat a burger like this in a restaurant you wouldn’t bat an eye because that’s how normal people eat.” I don’t know what people you hang out with when you go to McDonalds but no one I know picks up a burger and goes “wow! What a unique product!”

Percy Bysshe Shelley wrote this in 1819. No reason for bringing this up, of course

They’re right about religion having a fundamental role in US history, I just don’t think their plan is to cover the influence of Deism and the Enlightenment on Revolutionary-era thought

My manager: “you’re so genuine when you cashier, people love you” Me: “what? That’s not true, I just go through the script” Also me: *gabs with a lady for ten minutes about how often people misspell “Salisbury”, because she’s British and I studied English history*

An extremely powerful photo that also immediately makes me think of what a gritty legal drama remake of Mean Girls would look like (cause let’s be real, Bondi’s behavior today is a perfect fit)

My poetry skills are only so-so, so I'll do this in prose: A professor once taught me about Truth, Beauty, and Good, and that the three are irrevocably linked. Now I know it's true. A man with a gun murdered Good. His masters seek to smother the truth of her. What beauty is there in that?

Robyn Byers @jrobynbyers.bsky.social · 07/12/2025

I rant about how annoying I find Modernist poets and yet immediately I thought of: For I have known the eyes already, known them all Eyes that fix you in a formulated phrase And when I am formulated, sprawling on a pin… How then should I begin to spit out all the butt-ends of my days and ways?

Me to me: "You are a grown-ass adult. You can do this. You'll be okay" *proceeds to nearly SOB as I hugged my old, no-longer-squishy squishmallow that has helped me sleep every night since I got him three years ago and took him to the trash can* Is this Toy Story's fault? I think it's their fault

I (19F, 25F, 23F, ???F) accidentally killed my mother (5000F). My husband (25M) says it wasn’t my fault but now I have the overwhelming urge to put another guy inside this knife I got from a bunch of murderous spies. WIBTA if I don’t tell him about it?

I read the article so you don't have to. From one writer and Swift fan to another, I get that subjectivity is the name of the game with music, but genuinely if you assert that "Bad Blood" stuck more in the cultural zeitgeist than "Blank Space", you probably don't know enough to be writing this

Went looking for this to save because I was applying for jobs last night and after an hour of scrolling through websites and only applying to three jobs total I cried myself to sleep, all I could see was the corporate liturgy of "required qualifications" and feel like I had nothing of use at all
