We had a blast! The weather was fantastic and we lost but it was a fun game, especially the second half. They had little SW clips for cards and goals and things, and some really professional cosplayers. Otoh my throat *hurts* lol

Hey guys, sorry for the confusion. I was the person who ordered all those pizzas from the pentagon pizza place. I was just really hungry and I honestly don’t know why that restaurant was available to me because I live in LA and they’re not here yet so I’m still hungry. Is $8 enough to tip or no

Important clarification, multiple CDC sources tell me: Federal employees are not allowed to strike/walk out, so this is *not* a walkout but a "clap out" to show support for departing leadership. Current employees were either given permission to attend by a supervisor or used leave time to attend.

Today our (Spanish-speaking) cleaner asked me to bring up translation. I did and I heard her say "I," and pause. I typed "Yo" and waited. She repeated "I" and I switched English to Spanish, typed "I". Then the third time I finally got it and typed "hay", god bless her and her patience 🤣

the funny thing about John Boyne's current ubiquitous sympathy tour is, if I had a book condemned by both the Auschwitz Museum and the Centre for Holocaust Education, I'd shut up forever. I'd burn my laptop, mobile, keyboard, pens, and crayons, lest I ever wrote a word again.
