Mice are mooskins, singular moos (not to be confused with moose, though it sounds the same.)

Amusingly grateful the Festivus documentary from 2012 exists, because trying to explain to coworkers that my undergrad school had a mud-wrestling party with a pig roast sounds insane without proof.

I used to really like looking at houses on the apps (trulia, zillow, realtor, etc.) and these days so many realtors are using AI to stage homes that it's really turning me off. 🫩 Bleh.

Let me tell you. I myself have been eyeing importing the hybrids. I love my Fit. I'm mad I can't buy another new one.

I love my 2015 (that I bought in 2014) Honda for exactly this reason. Bluetooth, backup camera, but knobs. All knobs.

Jurassic Park scared the shit out of me. Tbf, I was low single digits and became convinced that a T Rex was going to shove its face through my bedroom window. Not cool.

I am over dinner as a date and I haven't even been dating. I have too much eating-out anxiety (and I am only dairy-free, and it's not an allergy, so I won't die if I get got.)

I for one think it’s bad that the president can just say crazy stuff all day every day and 99% of it doesn’t make the news because we’ve normalized having an insane president

the Heroic Protector Fantasy is rarely of real use to women, it's just wish fulfillment about male posturing and it frequently exacerbates violence it's also much easier to imagine yourself kicking the ass of an obviously villainous stranger than to to actually intervene where you have influence

At my consult for Invisalign/braces, the orthodontist told me I'm very knowledgeable. Me to myself IMMEDIATELY: I'm going to get a great grade in orthodontics patient, something that is normal to want and possible to achieve.

Why are they all so BUSY? We've had so many years to learn about graphic design and the more is more maximalism makes them not only obvious but also obviously bad, from a purpose-perspective.

My experiences with them have been that they are often nice, overeager, and lacking in social awareness, but not generally predators. Lumping them in seems unnecessary.

In the summer, my skin looks great and my hair looks horrible. We are entering the period of reversal here, where you might be tempted to think that both look great. Alas, neither looks great. A month or so from now, they'll fully swap.

If all you think of is Christian, white conservatives when you hear “Southern” and “rural” in the same conversation, you’re very literally failing to recognize how much history of defiance and resistance to Christian white nationalism has been happening in the South, since it’s been the South.

I can't decide if I like better the ones where the "fuck" changes the tone or the ones where the "fuck" was practically already in there.

Also, Arc of the Scythe series by Schusterman. Annette Marie writes pretty fun it's-not-that-deep urban fantasy series. (There are usually romances, fwiw.) I've heard Green City Wars by Tchaikovsky is good, but haven't read it yet. It's like urban sci fi, from what I understand.

Vorkosigan Saga by McMaster Bujold, not "near" science fiction, but the adventures are wild and you follow the protag as he grows from young and impulsive to older and impulsive. I would personally start with Cordelia's Honor, but a younger reader might like starting with Young Miles more. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Swingers clubs still exist? And they are a lil scuzzy but, in general, not nearly this rape-y.
