I may only know like two Noah Kahan songs, but I know that he is perfect for the Hunger Games OST. I'm ready to cry

I think I need to reread the Hunger Games trilogy just for the catharsis of seeing that evil get defeated

I finished Sunrise on the Reaping just in time for the Noah Kahan song to come out on Fri. Making sure the wound is fresh for the hurt that's coming

How many elements on the periodic table were named with the intention to abbreviate into something that can be used to spell out a word for logo or t-shirt?

60-70 degree weather is coming this week! I'm ready for the seasons to change more than I've ever been in my life. Are summers only gonna get worse and worse here on out?😫😭

My tiktok feed is still loaded with videos about the show Adults. I honestly can't tell if it's just the algorithm or it is actually popular. Either way I love the show and it better get a season 3 with more than 8 episodes!

The Devil Takes You Home is only $1.99 everywhere! I could tell you it won the Stoker and Shirley Jackson awards and was an Edgar, Locus, Dragon, and Goodreads finalist, but I won’t. Instead, I’ll share my favorite 1-star reviews! www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B09N... bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

If I need a spoon to eat something but there are none, I don't care how weird it looks, I will use a fork. Only the soupiest soups can stop me.

It has come to my attention that in this era that I am currently living, I do not know any white men personally. As in I have no regular interactions with any white men professionally or socially

Am I crazy? I don't think bikes and scooters should be banned completely from sidewalks. There should definitely be speed limits. I think in areas with high pedestrian traffic it's reasonable to prohibit them.

i undoubtedly believe humans are victims of our own nature. The brain is so imperfect, so psychologically fragile. You have a few bad experiences in key moments of your neurodevelopment, and now your nervous system cannot adjust to regular society

Found an unopened gift card for a local grocery store. I checked online for the balance and I found that it was activated in 2006! And it was loaded with only 15 dollars 😭😭😭 15 dollars for groceries 20 years ago, I can't even imagine.

I realized late in the day that today marks 6 months since I last saw my ex. The first month felt like an eternity, but I kept telling myself "one day it will be months not weeks since I last saw him, and one day it'll be years, and you won't even remember the date anymore."

Not gonna lie, seeing this image tonight fucked me up a bit. I was a critic when this came out, and had to cover it, and really enjoyed both girls in it. Tragic neither saw 40. It's so weird having watched two little girls grow up into women on screen, only to be writing this after they are gone.

i don't think it's possible to explain to a young person how big "heroes" was. for someone not raised with a concept of monoculture the idea of something like "save the cheerleader, save the world" becoming a cultural touchstone would seem completely alien. rest in peace hayden panettiere

They say "don't let other people control your thermostat" but I'm pretty sure I'm giving people keys to the whole house. Does that make sense in the analogy? 🤷🏽‍♀️

If you love to read, you probably have tried to break the ice with strangers by asking them what their favorite book is, only to never do that again when you realize how often people answer with "the Bible"

The medication Zofran makes no sense. Why am I putting a weird tasting thing in my mouth and letting it dissolve into a powdery textured slime on my tongue-- all while I'm about to puke?

I just don't understand why people don't seem to enjoy the transcendent pleasure of crafting artisanal thoughts with your own brain.

Damn, this made me chuckle.😆
barbwritesstuff: I have learnt today that my library refers to me as "the specific and highly active user" and has denied some of my purchase requests because "we can't skew the collection too much toward the taste of the specific and highly active use."

I did suggest roughly 100 vampire books for purchase last year. I think this probably has something to do with that.

Dragon-in-a-fez: op is there any particular reason the librarians would feel safer not invoking you by name?

The very people who accuse others of "staying silent" are SILENT THEMSELVES ON 1000 issues a day which is NORMAL because you are ONE PERSON & simply cannot have takes on every single thing.

I wrote in my journal some time ago that perhaps my purpose in life is to appreciate art, appreciate talent, beauty, creativity, and ingenuity. Don't know if that's limiting my contribution to the world, but the idea gives me so much relief idk

I always loved the comic book version of Spider-Man who, being a former teenage superhero, would pass on wisdom to other teenage superheroes
