Hi, I'm Mel

Today's reading is There Will Come Soft Rains by Ray Bradbury.

You know I just thought about it and isn't it so fucking weird to shower with music? I was about to get in the shower and was like oh I haven't set up my music and then I thought about it and for most of human history unless you were an actual emperor you couldn't demand music be played while you were bathing. And even then you'd probably be remembered as that crazy degenerate emperor that demanded music be played while you were bathing. "Emperor Sileneas the Opulent was known for his insane demand for a quartet of musicians to be playing every time he bathed. He also would only eat off of plates of silver one time and then the plates would have to be buried in the earth so that nobody could ever use them. He was assassinated by the praetorian guard when he invited them into his bedroom to fuck."

what you see when you treat me well

forget everything anyone has ever told you on the matter the truest marker of adulthood is starting to hear the siren call of high quality kitchenware

to be clear you SHOULD buy that cast iron pan and you SHOULD buy that knife set and you SHOULD buy that fancy rice cooker and you SHOULD buy that novelty mug. high quality kitchenware is always worth it you’re literally gonna be using that almost every day

Everybody say "thank you south america" for the humble potato

Abusive men pave the way for lazy men to get wives and girlfirends.

I try to explain this conceptually to people as a thing that happens not saying that this is good but it’s a thing that happens.

That…is the best response I’ve seen to the “not all men” thing. Thank you.

i once again want to say that hulu used to be entirely free with ads, and if you watched two minutes worth of commercials at the start of an episode the next 24 hours would be commercial-free. and now you pay $11.99 per month to watch things with commercials. what the fuck are we doing and how did we allow this to happen lol.

"biblically accurate" is such a pet peeve of mine like it means nothing and don't remind me the bible exists thanks

"none of these words are in the bible" I do not care what is in the bible you're scaring me
