I did get the funniest text from a friend’s wife when they finally sat down to watch the movie and were caught off guard by the number of casualties 😂

Happy October 3rd to all who celebrate!

A three part meme:
The top left features a scene from MEAN GIRLS (2004) where Lindsay Lohan says “It’s October 3rd.” The top right is a scene from ‘Fullmetal Alchemist’ (2003) that features the hand of Ed holding his pocket watch open with the words “Don’t forget 3.Oct. 10” scratched into one side.

Beneath that is Homer Simpson and a plumber shaking hands in waist deep water. On the plumber’s head are the words “Mean Girls fans” and on Homer’s are the words “Fullmetal Alchemist fans”, and where their hands meet set the words “October 3rd”

Here they go again, “selling wares” that turn into a side mission as soon as you strike up a conversation. You’re gonna come back with a new sword, amulet, and scars sure! But what about all that trauma and lost party member…?

The quoted post reminded me of a piece I’d written in 2020. I had gone grocery shopping shortly after Breonna Taylor’s murder. When I pulled up to the store, the stares from people as I put on a mask made me…uneasy. All I could think was, “if I don’t make it home, don’t believe the suicide note.”

A poem by Mannie titled 'Suicide Note', it reads:

Don't believe the suicide note.

It started as a joke,
A message to a triend.

Sharing in the humor and ludicrous
Nature of the times.

Then humor turned sour as I stared back at my reflection.
The joke was dark as my stark reality.

I'm in a grey hoodie.
Wearing a mask.
The top of the line one healthcare professionals and governments have recommended.

The joke, the humor, the relationship all loose meaning.
When things go wrong, as they inevitably will,
This is the image they'll use.

A thug, out of place, up to mischiet.
(Why else would he cover his face so well?)

I'm probably not long for this world.

But, don't believe the suicide note.

NICE PEOPLE MADE THE BEST NAZIS

My mom grew up next to them. They got along. Refused to make waves, looked the other way when things got ugly and focused on happier things than "politics." They were lovely people who turned their heads as their neighbors were dragged away.

YOU KNOW YOU WEREN'T NICE PEOPLE? THE RESISTERS

What about my soup, Sean?

Mannie T'Chawi … (the “T” is silent) @mannietchawi.com · 15/09/2026

I made a version of this soup, substituting the rice with split peas and adding in veggies from our garden and community. It’s definitely going to be a seasonal regular over here!
