Gloves for dealing with rose thorns (also blackberries) are reasonably priced and they go up to the elbow.

We can yearn for positive changes that we want to see in the world, or we can break out the Alf memes again.
This is the proper amount of decorum for much of the shit the GOP has pulled.

If you're wondering why I'm "spamming" my shop/aid posts so much, it's because I desperately need money, this is my only possible source of income, and despite having 9k followers my share counts on these posts are ABYSMAL. I could be less annoying if this shit actually worked.
The Outsider Comics Moving Sale starts noow! Basically everything that's hard to move is on sale and the heavier they are the more sale they're on, from 10% to 50% off! Please come help us not move things and also get us money so we can pay local artisans and contractors to help us with the move!

DEFINITIVE PROOF THE โSPACE FORCEโ ANNOUNCEMENT WAS PRE RECORDED! If you look closely at the video, it features Donald Trump in the right side of the frame, and if you zoom in you can clearly tell that he is alive, which is impossible because he is dead.
My wife likes to knit lace- blocking works wonders. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished scarf!
gotcha. (my mistake)
Pretty! It doesn't show the stitching off like that self-striping does, but the banding will be a lot clearer!

Okay, so yes this is a pattern I've made before and apparently memorized enough I forgot the original existed. It's the Drop Stitch Scarf by Christine Vogel. I'm using leftover yarn a friend gave me in rainbow solids so this one is going to be large blocks of rainbow colors.
Wow, love the colors on that

Lessons learned from my first rodeo experience: - make sure to get tickets under cover - get a mask to keep out dust - one event is juuuust fine - get a handheld battery powered fan - there's so much dust. SO MUCH. - bring more water than you think you need

I'm pointing this out, because as you can clearly see, neither of these words have anything to do with a feeling of being correct.
Cool. Thank you for the info!
Wouldn't that be confidence? I bring this up, because people undergoing mania (and other, more complicated mental issues) can be utterly confident that they are correct. Reality might beg to differ. Rationality is a pattern of logical, connected thought that can be followed by others.
Results so stunningly clear they inspired this classic xkcd (xkcd.com/2400/):

Hey summer fuck off. It's not august anymore. You cooled off. It's over 90 again in Seattle. Seattle! And it's worse in other places. ! You cooled off, you can take cooling off back, you monster! We have had it with this!

Fiasco is an amazing cat, and you're doing everything right. He figured out the chair-height switch, yes? He'll manage. Best wishes for you and your fuzzy overseers. I'm no wordsmith, but I hope this helps.
Remembering a time I found my housemate's cat (that'd been gone for more than a few days) staring up at me from the grate that connected to the crawlspace under the house we were living in. Also thinking of one I returned to it's family - I'd cared for it for 2-3 days, found the owners canvassing.
this does not seem like a good thing mail.bigdeskenergy.com/p/substack-j...
okay yeah this dude is in the homestretch
Damn. Looking like Edgar from Zap-em Pest Control would be an improvement at this point. He never used to go out without putting his face on and getting his hair just-so.
This shit is always a good beat. We had a guy in Philly that would write about the lunch buffets at the strip clubs and even had a "I dare you to eat here" reader challenge every month. Getting the management to give inches to stuff like this was always a fight, but I think it's essential coverage.
