I’ve never paid as close to the lyrics of “Everyday People” before but I gotta say, I don’t think not liking the rich one for not helping the poor one is nearly the same as… ::checks notes:: …yeah. But different strokes for different folks I guess.
There is a long hair that doesn't like the short hair
For bein' such a rich one, that will not help the poor one
And different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and Scooby-Dooby-Doo

(Oh, sha-sha)
(Oh, sha-sha) we got to live together

There is a yellow one that won't accept the black one
That won't accept the red one, that won't accept the white one
And different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and Scooby-Dooby-Doo

I ordered cornbread muffins as a treat for my friend and I because a southern staple felt like a good tribute to Dolly. And it was only after I took the picture and went to post it that I realized how perfect it was. I feel she’d have appreciated it.

I’ve had laryngitis since Thursday, spent the weekend drinking throat coat and a weird Chinese herbal honey VO actor connections of mine swear by. had to DM on Friday without a voice. So, I made due by limiting when I spoke, relying on old pre-AI TTS generators, having kids read blocks of text &:
Several upcycled cardboard box cutouts that read “bloodied,” “be cool,” as well as listing out all the types of damage as well as saving throws and skill checks for D&D 5.5

Can anyone explain to me how this isn’t what they would have done anyway? Saying they’ll sell through their remaining stock of their collaboration designs for a collection they just launched sure just sounds like they’re gonna keep quietly selling licensed HP merch.
Text: Unique Vintage has always been a welcoming and inclusive place for people who don't fit a mold.

We've listened to your feedback and have decided to move on from the Harry Potter partnership.

As a small business, we plan to sell through our remaining pieces but will focus on promoting other collections.

We're grateful you trust us and we will keep showing up for our community the way you've always shown up for us.

Love actually hearing from Anais Mitchell why they end Act 1 of Hadestown with Why Do We Build the Wall instead of Wait For Me
Text: AnaisMitchell OP: absofuckinglutely. we definitely tried to end act one with wait for me!!! but it made the second act SO long, and also very hades-heavy. I also loved persephone going "anybody want a drink?" right before the intermission, and coming back with "one for fun" (our lady of the underground). I comforted myself by thinking-- hamilton is the same-- i'm all set for end of act one after the world turned upside down... and then you get three more songs. had to be that way!

hyperfemme lesbian

you may be into women but that is NOT going to stop you from being girly and/or extra. that's not to say that you're completely indistinguishable from straight girls; you're almost feminine in the way a gay guy is feminine, if that makes sense? it's very distinctly queer if you know what to look for.

So much of my dysphoria gets locked on the idea that I need to have long hair to achieve some level of femininity, like there’s some magical hair length that will undo all the rest of my genetics and age and size and make everyone see me as I am. But then I get another pixie cut and I just feel it
Riley has a short haircut that she’s tied a bandana around like a headband. The hair color is a mix of red and purple. She has on rainbow sunglasses and a pair of lesbian pride color bead earrings with little daggers. She has on a red buffalo plaid shirt over a black and white tank top. A band aid covers a cut on her neck.

My Saturday morning D&D kids are a bit younger and newer to the game and they struggle to remember to track their spell slots. So today I gave them all poker chips with their spell levels marked and they have to give me them when they use spells.
