Happy Pride month to the moon

You should be starting a recipe book. I don't give a shit if you're only 20-years-old. The modern web is rotting away bit by bit before our very eyes. You have no idea when that indie mom blog is going down or when Pinterest will remove that recipe. Copy it down in a notebook, physically or digitally. Save it somewhere only you can remove it. Trust me, looking for a recipe only to find out it's been wiped off the internet is so fucking sad. I've learned my lesson one too many times.

in chess the queens can kill each other which is toxic yuri and the kings can never get within a square of each other which is doomed yaoi

did i tell you guys i failed at being sexually harassed at work today?

Accidentally purchased raw linseed oil instead of boiled linseed oil today so you could say I'm a bit of a daredevil.

Squatters' rights apply to grandmas. If someone's not visiting and looking after their grandma, but you will, after a set amount of time once you've settled in, that's your grandma now.

Idk who needs to hear this, but this is your reminder to go clear out unwanted squatters from your grandma.

happy first day of pride everyone

There's a recurring online tendency to aestheticize consensus itself. The imagined future village is full of emotionally compatible people who enjoy communal gardening, conflict resolution circles, acoustic folk music, mutual aid potlucks, and repairing bicycles together at sunset. Which is nice for the people who genuinely enjoy that lifestyle. But plenty of humans are solitary, prickly, obsessive, urban, nocturnal, sensory-seeking, technologically attached, contrarian, novelty-seeking, private, or just plain difficult. Those people do not evaporate after the revolution. They do not get Left Behind while you are Raptured into the Utopia. They become your neighbors.

Oh god they're doing Australian accents. Why. Sam this is actual violence. Don't make me listen to Americans failing to do Australian accents for ten minutes please, PLEASE, I am fucking BEGGING you.

Americans should have to get an accent license before they're allowed to do Australian accents. Like little kids getting a pen license in school.

ok but Bluey would genuinely make em better right?. But for like the generation that’s age 0-5 now. So like in 20 -odd years a lot of young up and coming american actors will have decent east-coast accents

I love the idea that Bluey will be such a large part of their media consumption for so many years that they will be able to do her accent well in twenty years' time. Bluey Is Eternal.

Also, what was that about a pen license?

When kids are first learning to write, they usually do their schoolwork in graphite pencil, so that mistakes can be erased and they don't stain everything with ink. Once they exhibit enough control and competence to be trusted with a pen, we say they have their "pen license" and ballpoint pens are phased in. Kids generally don't give a shit but parents and teachers treat this as an informal sort of milestone and act like they should aspire to it.

My primary school made you re-qualify for your pen license every year from grade 3-6.

They really wanted you to be sure you were ready to accept the responsibility of ink huh

I was like the only girl in my class who failed to get a pen license and I felt real and legitimate shame over that

Derin we didn’t need to tell them about the pen licence - having to explain this stuff makes me feel like Siobhan some times

Most of what Siobhan explains is normal and it's the yanks she works with who are weird.
