Speaking of corgis, I spent a chunk of this afternoon going through the last six months of photos from my phone. Please enjoy this rather magnificent faceswap with my Ralph the Corgi calendar.

ME TOO. like some kind of messed up Russian nesting doll where the top of my body comes off, if I don’t pick exactly the right thing on my torso.

I am going to give them the benefit of a doubt. The news is still fresh and they are likely gathering details/ putting together a well written article. The other stories were likely already in the process of being written/ worked on before the news hit.

That sound you hear is the cap coming off bottles of booze in the apartments of struggling writers the world over.

There are many types of ruffs in history, I say go bolder

Also, how are you supposed to not get food in these things? If we’re all choking in ruffs in 10 years, you better believe there will be pieces of granola and dried guacamole lodged in every single bloody crevice.

“Like a bird who swallowed a plate.”

Not this, doe.

I feel like ruffs would not help the cause for anyone with a double chin. Also, you’d always have to have your hair up, and a casual ponytail would look off, so it would have to be some sort of up-do or chignon. Is there such a thing as a wrinkle-free ruff? I feel like ironing would be a hassle.

It’s because of the Virgin Mary. I’m not being sarcastic. It’s the only Christian faith (except Anglicans, I think (?)) where instead of talking to Jesus or God, who can both be pretty judgmental and scary (see Old Testament, Last Judgment) you can send your prayers to a lady who’s literally never anything but nice…

Then why go at all? I realized church did nothing for me and stopped going around age 7. It just seems weird to voluntarily endure an easily avoidable annoyance as you seem to feel it is.

Yup, I would probably ask if I could direct the curse at a certain family member....

HA! I said the same thing! INTERNET HIGH FIVES!

“D’oh, baby brain!” said I, the self-identified radical feminist. Good feminists are never supposed to impute anything to Lady Hormone stuff,

I dunno dude, I wish more people would take my SEVERE PMS seriously. Not just a “haha bad mood cause I’m raggin” but more “this is an actual thing that is happening to my body…

Poor ladies. This is why I’m glad I’m dead inside and believe in nothing. I’d just nod and say okay when they said my family was cursed.

I think the mistrust of institutions and a belief in cash is what makes them vulnerable to this particular scheme.

Yeah, I’d be like “ehhh whatever, it’s probably not a family member I liked a lot.”

someone teach me a way to scam rich white men. like robin hood but i am also the poor i am robbing for.

Thank you. It’s one of those things where it feels like I suddenly woke up. I had a fourth of july party yesterday and everyone drank and I didn’t.... and I woke up today feeling so good about myself and how I behaved. It’s reassuring. Glad you found your peace as well.
