💯 it was an experience. one i'm not eager to repeat but probably will! I can't resist the weird-flavored oreos

a picture of a narrow, pale green box with an illustration of a pagoda structure, a golden oreo with pale tan filling, and a bowl of soup. there is Chinese text on the box which I assume says these are matsutake mushroom flavored oreos.

it's AI. i guarantee he's talking about AI. so, nothing that will actually help people 🤬

another quote from Brian Armstrong, crypto billionaire asshole:

Instead, Armstrong said that he has a donor-advised fund where he tried to put his money toward things that he believes are "helping civilization advance."

Henry Ford was a racist and an antisemite, he can fucking spin for all I care 🖕 doing things that would piss off Henry Ford is a net positive

a quote from Brian Armstrong, crypto billionaire asshole:

As a result, Armstrong has no plans to start a charity or foundation.

"So far, I've just been like 'I'm not going to do that.' My fear is that it just gets captured by some ideology and I lose control over it," he said. "If you look at the Henry Ford Foundation, I think Henry Ford would be turning over in his grave if he knew what they were up to."

queen of outer space was my cat's favorite movie, but in her defense, she was not a discerning movie viewer. she was mostly in it for all the space lasers

"OTnumber" WAY pre-dates its current usage in k-pop circles, source: i'm old 💀 but also, fanlore:

One of the first uses of the term was in 1984 from a summary from the publisher of zine Alternaties #2. "This zine has something for everybody.... The stories are mostly Spock-centric, so if you love a certain Vulcan, this one's for you! ...And boy, does he get around - we have Kirk/Spock, Spock/McCoy, Spock/Chapel, Spock/and various others, including T'Pring. And of course, more Kirk/Spock, because we all know that's our one true pairing!! Variety is the spice of life - and this zine is extremely spicy."

Another early mention was in 2002 in Discovered in a Letterbox #23 in which a fan commented on whether Daniel (in Stargate SG-1) could be slashed with anyone other than Jack. "...I guess that could be applied to any fandom and the idea of OTP (one true pairing)."

😔😔😔 is this going to stop me from going to the bakery for fresh bread and a cup of coffee, though? 🤔 nah, I need bread. at least the wind died down so no wind chill today ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

the cover of 1994 album "grace" by Jeff Buckley. a photograph of a young man with tousled hair and stubble, wearing a v-neck t-shirt under a textured jacket. he is standing in front of what appears to be a blue curtain backdrop on a stage and holding an old-style silver microphone in his left hand. the photo only shows the man from mid-chest up.

this is my absolute favorite picture of my dumb baby yuki, taken in November 2021, just a few months before her health took a sudden and unexpected turn for the worse and I had to let her go. I wasn't ready, but it was the kindest thing I could do for her

a blurry picture of a small black cat with big green eyes standing in front of an open sliding door with yellow leaves and snow visible in the background. the cat is looking at the photographer with a confused but hopeful expression--she wants to go outside but usually isn't allowed without supervision, so are you *sure* she can just. go out the open door??? also what's all this cold, wet, white stuff

that's a zipper helper, and you can just buy them instead of using a necklace! these are vintage, but if you search for "zipper helper" you can find the modern version pretty easily! you might still need to attach a split ring to the zipper, depending on the kind of pull it has

a vintage zipper helper, the package depicts a woman using the product to zip herself into a dress with a back zip

a vintage zipper helper. it is a long chain that looks delicate but is actually pretty sturdy, with a small hook on one end and a box on the other. the hook can be attached to the zipper on a dress, and you can use the chain to pull the zipper up the back of your dress, so you can zip yourself into a dress without help. the chain can then be folded into the small box for storage.
