Getting tacos from my favorite local place, and probably splitting a gummy with my roommate for dessert

I want to go to bed as early as possible. 

Spending Tuesday night playing videogames so my hands are occupied and I’m not tempted to doomscroll, and I have Wednesday off work (normal scheduling, not because of the election) and plan on hiking if the weather doesn’t suck. Maine in November can be hard, so if it’s too cold, my long distance girlfriend and I are…

Mr. Caputo said: “I’m in, Santa, if you’re in.”

I’m really wondering if the editing is TRYING to make us hate her so that we’re relieved when she eventually bails early.

Also, I want Joe for the next Bachelor. He seems like a sweetheart.

I really love this game. It’s about all I have the mental space for right now- bright colors, short rounds, run from point A to B in various ways, make a silly looking bean. It’s so easy to just pop it on for 10 minutes to wind down when I get home, or on a weekend when I can’t focus on reading or an RPG. 

God I wish they could just give us the option to choose the preview images. I’m sure anyone with boobs will tell you- if you post a selfie, the crop will inevitably fall on your chest. 

YES THIS BOOK IS SO GOOD 

By which he means, he and his ever-rotating gaggle of friends have been LARPing Pokémon in the playground/classroom/lunch line…

I am absolutely having a gin and tonic later in honor of your grandmother. May we all have as many stories for our grandchildren to tell

oh my god that’s one of my friends and I legit choked on my pasta. THANK YOU for this laugh

I know this was absolutely intended rhetorically, but in case someone is actually curious- I’m a bookseller in a mid-sized city in Maine, and I swear almost every single copy we’ve sold of these books have gone to older white men and women. Like, retired doctors and teachers that regularly pick up the latest Erik…

University of Maine announce today that three students (two off-campus, one in a frat) have tested positive. They’re still planning to continue with campus move in next week.

Maine has been so, so good for the bulk of the virus and I’m pretty sure my area is about to get absolutely wrecked. 

This is so weirdly wholesome. 

Oh god, rereading this in 2020 is just physically painful

I moved straight out of my parent’s house and into my husband’s in my early 20s, and I do not recommend it. After our divorce (surprise! I’m gay!) last year, I found myself needing a roommate for the first time. A friend had a finished attic space in her house, and let me and my dog move in for six months as a trial.…

I *genuinely* despise people likening things to Handmaid’s Tale but good lord if that’s not the Fred and Serena of our times....

I was very lucky to get a galley of Harrow and I can tell you, it’s amazing. And on the second reread. And third

My advice: You’re going to be confused for the first two thirds. Ride with it- it’s so worth the payoff

Last year, I decided to treat myself at my favorite local Mexican place, because it had been a hell of a day and my divorce was being finalized and I just... really needed a taco.

Welp, walked two feet into the restaurant, slipped on a tortilla chip. Two years of roller derby training told me to fall directly on my…

To the asker- my marriage ended last year when I finally came to terms with the fact that I am a massive lesbian. It was hard and impossible but, here I am, a year later. Surviving was hard, and knowing how much my exhusband was hurt was so hard. But it was the right choice and I firmly believe you’re going to do the…

There’s like... a weird amount of people from the midwest that have come to Bangor, specifically Minnesota! Not a bad thing, just really funny. Most are professors at the University.
