Ok, work. You've passed a bunch of vibe checks, but the "International Women's Day" newsletter featuring 5 women and 7 "girl dads" is not it.

it really is

Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.

RT if your cat is an asshole. Like if your cat is an asshole. Look, my cat is a giant asshole is what I’m saying.

The belly of an inverted silver tortie. It’s very fluffy and chaotic.

Every morning I am presented this extremely soft belly.

If necessary she will scream in my face to ensure I’m awake, so the belly snugs can be done properly

Ouinning

Ooooooo

DnD Monday night. This year I’m playing a cleric (my default class), last year I was a bard.

She turned to me and declared that it’s so weird I’m not playing a bard this year cos I AM an actual bard.

First time I’ve ever been accused of having charisma!

I had an honest to goodness compliment from a young person and I’m still shocked

This is so many layers of “this never happens to me”

thankfully, when I gave bossman the heads-up he cheered, cos fuck That Guy in particular

although tbh it's possibly not ALL bad.

cos it turns out that my tolerance for bullshit is incredibly low, so any asshole sales guy coming at me in a meeting is going to get both barrels and a fucking reload as well

surprise migraine thursday can get the fuck in the bin

she's the absolute best

Ok fine I’ll watch it again

(This would be.. fifth time? Sixth?)

Pretty sure that’s from the start of the season where he figures that out.

You know. Stating the premise up front

You run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole.

You run into assholes all day, you're the asshole.

that said, this is still the best piece of advice

Holy FUCK it IS him

I see @mostlymartha.bsky.social has been designing octopuses vt.tiktok.com/ZSur3hqRp/

friend asked for "classical music" recommendations and I remembered Mahler and now I'm mahler-5-locked for the forseaable

Yeah I’ve skipped them all, but the 30th is coming up and….

Yeah nah I cbfkd. Those privileged jerks are unlikely to be folks I enjoy spending time around, so I think I’m good. Esp as it will just end up in a massive pissup

Not in the slightest.

We fed the capn’s EV on slow-ass wall current for over a year before we got a proper charger.

Good luck, god speed

He wanted a viable gene pool

Good! And I hope you had the garlic and chilli eggs!!

In a similar vein, someone said the media which resonates with us is that which fills a gap in our own lives.

Fuuuuuuuuuuck ALL of that

Holy mother of get in mah belleh

Sounds lovely!!

Right let’s get this over with early…
