oh my god

Honestly just the drink this cursed year needs

The secondhand embarrassment is so high it hurts.

How do you not just

i'm not linking to that ragebait article but i haven't seen anyone "malign homeowners" just landlords/corporations

the warning label we should have gotten on Jan 1.

Living through any news cycle in 2026

I'd missed this! I'm so glad you have a new friend! What a good boy 💖

I'm just a girl, standing in front of a baggage carousel, asking it to move.

Anyway idgaf about him, he deserves whatever's coming.

But she deserves not to be reduced to "sad ex".

The headlines make it sound like they broke up and then she soon-after self-immolated like Aaron Bushnell.

She actually ended up rolling around and dousing herself with water. She was intoxicated and depressed, and it was long enough after that I don't really buy it was because of That Guy.

It was a year after. She and her husband separated because of it but shared a little boy, and tbh I think that was probably what was devastating.

Like it wasn't him, but the consequences of an affair.

Maybe? But "According to police reports, Santos-Aviles told officers who responded to her home on Sept. 13 that she set herself on fire because she had discovered her husband was "cheating on her" with her best friend. " www.expressnews.com/news/article...

Bff: I was sorted into the distance running house.

Me: I wasn't sorted, I was conscripted.

Bff: You weren't conscripted, you volunteered. All I did was tell you they give you snacks at the end.

I'd never read anything by him before. Saw it at an airport, put a hold at the library, and forgot about it. When it was ready I almost didn't check it out after re-reading the description but I'm so glad I did.

IT'S SO GREAT.

This part is also important. Sometimes people follow me and I don't notice until they talk to me and then oh hi why don't I see your posts t...oh brb lemme follow back.

Relationships!

Also even when I order all the things I can't finish them. Like the pizza texture and something about the flavor wasn't my favorite. Earlier I had dips but ran out of chips before I ran out of dips.

It annoys me when people complain because this IS Twitter. This is what it was like before providing monetary incentive for rage bait ruined it.

Waiting for some math to spoon feed you content, and only content you already like, is part of how we got into this [gestures broadly] mess.

Complaining about a lack of algorithm here - that's 100% a skill issue and you'd never have survived OG Twitter.

Find people you like and follow them! See who they follow!

This year is odd. Normally I want one thing from all the booths and this year I want all the things or none.

Ruling out beer and the nuts I'm allergic to doesn't help.

See super easy

There's no way I keep up with this let's be real.

I will tell you that bringing my own food tray so I don't drop stuff when I order more than one thing was an elite move.

Cucumber watermelon slushy with gin. It started out full to the top. Delicious, refreshing, 11/10.

Okay Flower and Garden thread I will attempt to keep up with.

First up was the lemon-violet macaron. No picture because I ate it nom. It looks just like the promo but it's big, like just smaller than my hand. Idk where the violet is, I just tasted lemon. A good macaron though 10/10.

Yesterday after The Little Mermaid show: "I wasn't expecting puppets. Not that anyone ever expects puppets."

(tbc we loved the puppets)

First day of Flower and Garden. Bff: "we can have so much avocado toast because we already own houses!" 💀

I hate that I understand this

You can though. I'm not looking for it but I know I've seen similar statements about Hispanics. They're building concentration camps for us.

And to his supporters, it's a feature, not a bug.

We need to let go of indecency being the "end" of anything.
