I’m pretty chill but, I want to crawl into the top photo ‘Ring’-style, yank all the books out of the fireplace while yelling ‘Kelly, just get me a %$@#*&! BILLY bookcase from IKEA, for the love of god. ‘ Yes, I understand it is for a shoot but still, throw them in the fancy chicken coop, anything but spines in!

“Magnolia-knockoff”

Eh, I wouldn’t class this as “expensive” — it’s only slightly higher than Ikea, which is pretty much the bottom end of pricing for Not Complete Garbage furniture. It’s also extremely bland and I’ve already seen all of these things six trillion times, so I’m struggling to understand why it exists at all.

Are we still on this French Country fuckery? I thought we were over all the white-washed, “crackled”, deformed and diseased looking furniture. Why does that table have goiters on its legs???

I cannot imagine the horror of the entire experience. The total, needless, radical ideologically induced horror. My heart goes out to every woman who must face it to get a legal medical procedure.

This is everywhere it seems. My mom was doing it too, before she got a terrible case of pneumonia that hospitalized her last week and will likely keep her exhausted and weak with recovery for several months (so tell your mom that one). She was going out to the dollar store because “it’s not that busy” and she “needs…

Is anyone being driven bat shit by their elderly parents? My mother will not stay in her house. She’s bored, which means she’s hanging out at more stores than she did before the pandemic. But oh, don’t worry, she tells me. She doesn’t plan on getting sick. Because that’s how it works - you have to plan on getting the…

Didn’t read the article because I cannot at this point of our situation think about an animal dying. There’s too much real life scary and sad stuff everywhere direction I look in. Knock on wood, though, I don’t know anyone who’s gotten sick. I hope that doesn’t change but it’s not super likely that it won’t. The other…

How is everyone doing right now? I haven’t been able to post in awhile because things got weird, but I’m thinking of you all.

RIP Takaya. Curses on the hairless apex predator who killed you.

Three things. First, I’m also really surprised I haven’t seen anything about the sexual assault accusation on the site yet. Part of me wonders if it is hesitation how the Franken situation developed and wanting to see more details before really taking a stand on it.
