Something I never got about conversation pits is, when do you use it exactly. Do you hang out in there waiting for a conversation to start? Or do you start the conversation somewhere else and at some point say, "we should take this to the pit." Either option seems mortifying

Here's a true story about my dad. When I was little, we were on a beach in Oregon and he found a message in a bottle. The note contained an address, with a plea in a young boy's handwriting to send a postcard and let him know how far the bottle had traveled.

The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping.

A picture of an Apple mouse upside down on a desk, its ports in the air. It's on a white background, its shiny aluminium body still. It could be scared, it could be resting. You know what you have to do.

The trolls and haters are falsely claiming I said we should eat Big Bird Lies. I only said Big Bird would be delicious if properly cooked and eaten. That’s an objective fact nobody can argue with. Actually doing so would be a monstrous crime

I went to a pop-up holiday market and this white lady selling hand made ceramic earrings was proudly displaying the political message left by an assassin on bullet casings after a successful murder so that’s a bit of a data point for Where Things Are

A table at a craft fair-type event shows ceramic items for sale, including earrings, a smiley face spoon, and other knickknacks. There are ceramic letters on the table spelling out “deny depend depose”. The artist is a white woman in glasses standing proudly with her work.

Not sure how many people I can speak for but if you grew up cishet during the '80s and '90s, the homophobia was basically a load-bearing beam and trans people were unthinkable. You'd think it was impossible for people my age to put all that shit behind them. Nope! Pretty fuckin easy.
