The streets of Charlton could be mean
Precisely
It was, but you didn’t read the rest of the thread so you missed the point.
Alternative Eurovision song contest called Dolorvision for sad songs & musical downers only, competing to become the theme song for murder shows with desaturated colors where the detectives are too sad for a bed.
A Rogers Park coin collector has so many rare, early American coins he's decided to gradually leave 10 of them around the neighborhood through the rest of the year: “Maybe one kid or one person will find one and it will ignite a passion.”
Kirstjen Nielsen was 1 year ahead of me in the same program and when the time comes I would like to personally dogwalk her to the Hague
I don’t disagree? But in this story, I was eight.
Translation: “I hate your fucken guts, minus the minimum amount of acknowledgement of our shared humanity to hopefully avoid burning in hellfire next to your rotting pigface for all eternity, now get ready to eat pavement you rancid twerp”
Next rash of third grade playground fights had a new motto: “I (only) love you in God’s way.”
When I was in third grade there was a rash of extreme playground fights resulting in some ER trips for stitches and x-rays & the words “I hate you” were tossed around so our catechism teacher taught us that we shouldn’t hate anyone, ever, and even the most despicable people deserve God’s love.
I see a lot of scolding about hoping he's dead and all I have to contribute is don't kinkshame.
It’s hard out here for a stylish babe!
I see and I hear and I speak no evil; I carry no malice within my breast; yet quite without wishing a man to the Devil one may be permitted to hope for the best. -“An Ethical Grook” by Piet Hein
It’s gorgeous
I’m just saying that when it happens I’m jumping out of bed, running to my window, and tossing a coin to a boy to buy the biggest goose in town

Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”
As an alum of that place: accurate
They should cast her as ART in #Murderbot
And watching The Death of Stalin
DM me like…your favorite 3?

I’m listening harder 😘
I have not! Good?
I will never tell
I’m listening
Thank you!
Tfw you have over-fished a certain AO3 fandom/tag set and may have to read new books for a while until things repopulate.
The…unpopulated…ones are almost creepier b/c you’re just keeping your head on swivel for when one inevitably pops out.
The true horror hear is that you know the real estate agent tried to talk them out of those photos and failed.
that NEA "we cancelled the creative writing fellowships program because we prioritize fostering AI competency" letter is a really good example of a genre of what we might call found horror

“The spirit of LOVE, BROOKLYN is tenderness. It is both a love letter & a sympathy card: an acknowledgement that growing up sometimes means letting go, embracing the changes that come with time … “ writes @mcastimovies.bsky.social: www.rogerebert.com/reviews/love...
Thank you!
This is so beautiful.
sorry to be this asshole but I am once again asking all of you to read a second Yeats poem
The freakiest North side bus is the Lawrence Bus, hands down.
He either got on one or went home, and all is quiet…for now.
Pulaski answers to no one, apparently!
A man is standing at the bus stop across the street and booing each passing 155 like it’s that scene from The Princess Bride and the bus personally abandoned him outside the Fire Swamp to marry Prince Humperdinck. Boo! Boo! Boo!
Had good luck with them as well but it’s been a while since I bought one. Thank you!
Thank you!
Mac users only, a rare advice request: Do you have an external hard drive you love & would be willing to recommend? I’m looking for a durable workhorse to back up my laptop regularly. I’m only looking for personal “I use this” recs, I can find the review sites myself.
He works in a hospital in a capacity where he sees sick patients and while they do provide professionally-fitted N95s & mandate masking in patient rooms they have no COVID policy for when staff get sick that we can find. 🤬😷
Still hanging in as COVID negative and not sick after almost a week of self-quarantine. Spouse had to return to work (yes, masked) despite being positive b/c of capitalism and having no paid sick time. Fortunately he’s not feeling sick but I hate it for him & everyone he comes in contact with.
If there’s poor taste here, it’s not yours. She tried to kill a dying woman - a woman who had worked for her and who was dependent on her for a place to live - for what? The crime of not dying quick enough? For daring to last beyond their planned “beautiful” tragic love story? Ugh.
This is beyond horrible. All the love and strength to you and your family, and good luck getting through the logistical nightmares of this day.
you shouldn't just purge transphobes from power because it's the right thing to do you should purge transphobes from power because transphobia is the single greatest indicator of incompetence and mediocrity in modern society.
They suuuuuuure did.
This is Misty from Yellowjackets meets Hugo Schwyzer energy I cannot
The red flag factory ran out of flags long before I got to the “breakup” speech.
Hahaha!
If nipples could blink, do you think they'd have upper/lower eyelids or nictitating membranes
Thank you! #TeamMarple
One time I wore a new winter hat to class and one of my students said I had “Marple energy” and I floated through the following year as if on a cloud. Here is the selfie I took that day for reference.
Eyejacked!!!! I am super rooting for the sheep to become a mastermind.
And cyborgs usually end up siding with the aliens in this universe so your predictions have weight!
Olyphant is doing great work here! I love @noelmu.bsky.social’s note that he’s the perfect combo of menacing and pissy.
I like it PS what eats Yutani
It’s a general predictive question, not tied to any episode…yet
Watch and see
Alien Earth watchers, what do we hope will ultimately eat Boy Kavalier? 1 Classic Xenomorph 2 Some kind of Xenomorph-Wendy combo 3 Giant plantimal that hangs from the ceiling 4 Eyeball spider 5 Other? I vote 4
Hahahaha I just had the terrible, terrible thought that someone who didn’t know us would think I’m serious.
Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married 🧨
The hospitals.
Hahahaha I just had the terrible, terrible thought that someone who didn’t know us would think I’m serious.
You breastfeed ONE bat and suddenly it’s a crisis! 😵
I wish that weren’t true, but in any case I love it.
I met people from all over the world who were working to serve their countries and fellow citizens and make the world a better place. I really wonder how those people are doing now, and what they think about how we're doing.
My first job out of college in 1996-1997 was arranging USAID-funded study tours/job shadowing/internships/mentoring/long-term academic study for government officials and community leaders from "emerging democracies" to come to the United States, meet their counterparts, and observe how things work.
All tube food is good food.
👀 Keep us posted. May this be a @karnythia.bsky.social -level neighbor drama story when all is told.
Daniel Jason Mendoza Striped Tiger keeps trying to hunt the string cheese as I eat it. The People’s Churu.
Every time I feel discouraged about the value of my work in the midst of all of this, I remember that if education did not matter, they would not be attacking it so hard. If humanities and the sciences did not matter, they would not be attacking it so hard.
That black pearl strand is calling meeeeeee
I didn’t encounter her work until adulthood, but I like what I’ve read! What’s your favorite?

Look, it’s definitely in a smoke filled alleyway in New York City at around midnight and a couple of trash cans got knocked over in the process 😂 #80s #nostalgia #synthwave #musician
This many initials in a letter is always a bad sign.

Motto proposal: "Manu haec inimical tyrannis." ("This land is hostile to tyrants.")
Right on fucken schedule 😂
I am terrified that there is a layer of dirt beyond the appalling shit he’s revealed about himself. Also fuck that entire family for continually protecting its most awful members.
Definitely no premeditation happening here
I bet! I adore that whole series, as well as The Merciful Crow & Faithless Hawk.
Yes, audiobook! Good stuff.
A lot of people don't realize that Lukewarm is actually Owenwarm's older brother.
Looking forward to it!
I’m going with Option 3 (Dauntless Path) for now, I want to stay in that vivid, angry world for as long as possible and the new books will keep for another time.
I have a bunch of food prep & chores to do this morning and am debating what to listen to next. Options: Start The Incandescent by @emilytesh.net Start The Holy Terrors by @what-eats-owls.bsky.social Or stay on my Khanani kick & re-visit the Dauntless Path series.
Spouse has started Hemlock & Silver as well, and as someone who works closely with people with substance use disorder he’s really appreciating the lack of moralizing & the medieval Narcan. ♥️♥️♥️ I appreciated the reminder that many 12 year old girls are nightmares and we protect them anyhow
