Totally get it, and I may be wholly off base!

Thingie at top looks rather like the face covering the machine-wielder would use?

*tiny voice* uh-oh!

What a horrible thing for you to be forced to handle, especially publicly like that. I'm so sorry this happened.

NO NO NO YOU DON’T

GUYS LET ME PLEASE SPREAD THE GOSPEL OF FREE TAX USA

federal is free, state is $16, handles even my chaotic freelancer taxes just fine, same step-by-step “designed for normies” kind of interface as TurboTax but NOT EVIL

tell everyone you know

It would never make it out of the Marvel writers' room because IT IS ENTIRELY TOO DAMN STUPID

I just had finished texting T, "like, JFC, just make it all STOP."

I am currently devouring Olivie Blake's "Alone With You in the Ether" and it's joining these ranks for me.

One was a pastor; the other was a pilot (Flying Tigers, but for flying Fat Alberts over The Hump rather than fighter jets), military officer, & later mentor/instructor at Def. Int. School.

Hey so what was done to Jasmine Crockett via "left"-leaning entities was incredibly vile, and we should be thoroughly ashamed. I'll never see Colbert the same way again.

Here you have a candidate who has been in congress fighting hard for her constituents & more, out loud, w/skill & grace under *wild* pressure, & you decide "but what if this milquetoast white dude instead" is the road you want to go down?

It's gross, it's race & misogyny ALWAYS, & we rebuke it.

The concerted campaign, evidently run by left-side groups, to diminish and disrupt Jasmine Crockett's candidacy, is why Dems stay losing.

I have loved this man all my life and it’s so moving seeing the camera cut to do many other famous people in the room who look at Harrison Ford exactly like we look at Harrison Ford. What a moving and thoughtful reflection and what a humble, decent guy

What was that about "contempt" for Americans?

How DARE they. How can any sitting member of Congress allow this admin to continue, treating servicemembers this way?

(Leaving entirely aside the profligate slaughter of schoolchildren, which this nation has already made clear it cares nothing about)

I know calling your electeds all the time is both exhausting and something a sane nation wouldn't need to do ALL the time, but please tell your Congresspeople to demand an end to this unnecessary, expensive, heinous war immediately.

I mean, "Rob" seems obvious.

Dear Cuisinart - and specifically, Stefan at your warranty service line:

You rock. THANK YOU.

Henceforth, I will be describing the way that U.S. men’s hockey spectacularly squandered good will, brand recognition, and fan loyalty as “pulled a Target.”

They pulled a Target.

Spouse gets ALL important emails for a Canadian woman with the same last name - we're talking real estate transactions, banking stuff, etc. - we think bc perhaps instead of .com, her address is supposed to be .ca? But actual years of trying to resolve by multiple methods have gained nothing.

And every other thing name-soiled or altered by them, yep.

I can’t begin to tell you how vomit-inducing the asymmetry, nevermind the sheer idiotic chutzpah of this project, is for locals.

An amber golden metallic leather journal sitting on a green and yellow cutting mat. The journal, wrapped in braided navy elastic, bears three charms on the front: a bee, a key, and a sword. There are three beaded trinkets with keys on the end of each one suspended from the spine of the cover. A brass fountain pen is clipped to the top of the journal cover.

Three charms adorning the front of an amber-golden metallic leather journal - one charm is a small bee; one is a miniature verdegris key, and the last is a tiny - but still quite sharp - basket-hilted sword.

For my fellow Starless Sea obsessives, I give you my still-evolving planner cover: (still need to find proper vintage skeleton key, better bee)

A photo of an ice cream machine with a sign reading, "Anything is possible with ice cream." Beneath that is a hand lettered sign reading, "No ice cream".

2026 basically

Also, since I'm fussing on Al Gore's internet anyway today: If AI wants to do my job, FINE - then PAY ME TO LIVE while it does that. But if the presumed trajectory is "eliminate all jobs in favor of AI and quit paying actual humans", good luck to you with the end game of THAT, I guess.

I haven't verified it yet, but I read that she made a comment on this that the WH had nothing to do with killing the interview, that it was played that way because they'd have had to give her equal time had they aired it on the show.

It feels really gross.

I mean, look at her, what she stands for, how she moves in the world - of course they want to tear her down. I don't know from the other guy, but I know she's who we need a lot more of in politics if we ever want to get the stains off our nation. So it seems par for the course that she'd be opposed.

Not that I haven't adored Colbert for years, but I'm profoundly uncomfortable with the sudden - and nearly impossible to counter by normal campaign means - storm of publicity being given to...Jasmine Crockett's competitor.

I made myself one; it’s close but not quite right yet. 1970’s era cocktail swords make fantastic swords; thrifted vintage skeleton key; have not yet found The Correct Bee.

The Starless Sea is a a uniquely-constructed nesting-doll, puzzle-box love letter to book lovers?! There is SO MUCH to be getting on with for art, jewelry, etc. - & all there seems to be out there are a few random rebinds (all of which get the symbolism in incorrect order/orientation) & the odd tee

Ok. I have to get something important off my mind: It is *utterly incomprehensible* to me that Erin Morgenstern's The Starless Sea does not seem to have the rabid, intense secondary merch markets that SO MANY (imo) lesser books have.
