Someone once asked me for marriage advice and I'm not sure if this was received well, but I said "This person has seen you at your absolute worst and most unlikeable and they're still here. Don't take that for granted."
I had this realization recently when Lorenzo took the absolute worst picture of me ever taken -- red-faced, eyes half-closed, mouth open, belly forward -- and then hung it on the fridge. He couldn't understand why it took it down
I think about this a lot.
my glass coffin company “remains to be seen” is not doing as well as i thought it would.
Titanic is ahistorical in so many ways but it is a freaking VIBE. I love it. It definitely was one of fhe movies that sparked my interest in love stories.
Free speech, but only speech I, personally, like.
Pretty damn rich of Micah Beckwith to be there when they talk about "free speech" after what he did when he was on a library board. 😡

I remembered that the music from Cowboy Bebop is REALLY good so that's what I'm listening to this afternoon!

If I were stupid rich, I would be tempted to visit all sports places with hilarious novelty containers of food.
Yes and it was first dropped in 1999
Roger Ebert was a genius film critic. He judged movies on what they were trying to accomplish, and he could write a review in such a way that I could tell whether I'd like the movie or not, regardless of whether HE liked it or not. And his columns were entertaining no matter what.

Yesterday, I thought, "Daylight Saving Time isn't so bad!" Today, it hit me like a truck.
Public librarian pay, too - at least in smaller libraries! 🫠
With a bachelor's degree, I made $9.79/hour at my first newspaper job in 2008. The only time I got a raise was when I got promoted to an editor position because someone died.
The writer tries to connect the loneliness epidemic with the consumption of fancy coffees. I don't think that's it, pal.

No, let's not do this today or ever.
You clearly need to learn some history to understand voter suppression, gerrymandering, and the ways in which the GOP lie, cheat, and steal to have power.
Oh no! I hope you're not in too much pain.
If you don't want to have conversations with your kids you're not ready for then don't have kids. Yes, I understand this statement is meant to imply the children are the ones that not ready. If my refusing to read it that way bothers you, imagine how frustrating talking to a child will be for you.
This International Women's Day, please remember that trans women are women. Full stop. No qualifiers.
