Because America, of course, invented everything.
As a white girl who adores fall, I can say sincerely those pumpkin spice lattes suuuck! In fact everything pumpkin “flavored” that isn’t actually pumpkin is gross (I’m looking at you pumpkin ice cream, yuck).
I know enough antique, old book and assorted ephemera collectors to have seen ample evidence that the love of fall goes way, way back. It has its roots in harvest festivities and the simple joy of a crisp, cool day among the changing colors of the season more than consumerism. Sure, the love of fall has been…
Great point about the harvest festivals, they’re kind of thing . . . everywhere.

Despite all of this, fall is still the best season, and Thanksgiving is still our best public holiday.
‘Queen, did you block me? Sad face.’
WELL?????
It was storming during my surgery, so the last thing I asked the anesthesiologist was, if the building got hit by lightning while I was under, would I get superpowers?
With the inadvertent truth slip of what she really thinks-- “they make up stories”-- and all!
Awesome, I did not know this was coming! For the longest time I just hoped that Allie Brosh was doing okay wherever she was because it had been so long since a new Hyperbole and a Half strip had been published and she had been so open about struggling with depression. Anyway, I’m glad she’s back.
