She/her. Looks like she’d know where the Parmesan cheese is.

Definitely the first thing. He loves being adored and admired and given treats and he has no use for sprinting.
One very good description of them is “you can convince them that you’re the boss today. You can’t ever convince them you’ll still be the boss tomorrow.”
Somebody told me once that when they do team agility, everybody is delighted when they get a corgi on the team because they set the jump bar to the shoulder height of the shortest dog.
feeling stabby 🔪
Making life a little harder for pregnant people IS a sufficient reason to link painkillers to autism but I bet folding money someone in this admin is also planning to use this to argue that we should cut neurodivergence accommodations from schools, workplaces, and healthcare coverage.

Well, this was back when people didn’t give a shit about privacy to the extent where they’d print your email, phone, and residence hall in the student body book.
👇👇👇
I have taken the Tylenol that was in the medicine cabinet and which they think probably is the reason you like trains forgive me but that’s bullshit you got autism from your dad
...But every time somebody claims the Rapture is coming, which is about twice a year if you're paying attention to what certain groups are up to, I think about those kids hand-typing 4,000 email addresses to apologize, and getting a very valuable learning experience. /10
I think most people just deleted this email unread, because I asked around about it later, and to my GREAT dismay as a person who lacks interesting drama in her own life and thus NEEDS to know 103% of the tea at all times, nobody I knew had more context on this... /9
...It seemed like they'd decided their penance for contributing to the spread of a false prophecy must have been to, I guess, go through the Student Body Book and type every student's email address in the To: line so this apology would go out to everyone who'd been impacted. /8
Now again, this was before you could just hit "All Student Group" and send out an announcement (and also before the kinds of reply-all debacles that made admins restrict who could use those lists). So from all those names on the subject line... /7
So the siblings had, obviously, put the word out that Y2K was the time of the Rapture and they would not be back at school for the next semester because they would obviously be getting Raptured up and... yeah. /6
I don't know if I was in the wrong circles to hear about it or had just missed some kind of wider announcements, but some siblings from a particular family had a pastor or a relative (it's been a while, I wish I remembered) who'd gotten a Message About The Rapture. /5
And when I got to the message, it was an apology. An apology for a very serious mistake, that led to very serious behaviors, for which several students wanted to apologize. /4
Hundreds? Well, there were about 4,000 students at the school at the time. I stood there, at the Pine terminal in the upstairs hall of the building, paging past what turned out to be at the very least MOST of the student body's email addresses. /3
So I open this email and it's just... a massive list of email addresses on the To: line. I start scrolling down (hitting the spacebar would page down). And down. And down. Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap. After scrolling past literally several hundred addresses, I was too far in to quit. /2
Did I ever tell you guys about the epic email I got around ten days into January 2000? Okay, for context, I went to a Christian college, right, and this was in the PINE email days (like fifty of you just had a flashback to those black-with-green-text terminals) and it predated email lists. /1
"Hwat" is also what an older Southern woman will say to let you know she's aghast at your behavior.
Where do we stand on Hwaet
It’ll be a number of years but, yeah, a lot of our tax dollars are going to the settlement.
“Verily” is my big one.
“Charismatic” is just code for “rich and possessed of absolutely no concept that he might be wrong” in this case.
The fact that I got as far as googling “what com” and it autofilled “what company makes Tylenol” and told me it’s Kenvue tells me I’m not the first person to suspect that this is gonna go about as well as the thing with the Dominion voting machines did.
Trump: I have linked Tylenol to autism Kenvue lawyers: *rubbing their hands together in glee* yeah you did buddy
I am not entirely sure how anyone could read biographies of Great Thinkers™️ of Ye Olden Times™️ (or even just watch Hamilton) and NOT realize that all of these people had ADHD and a touch of the ‘tism.
It’s true.
Project management is easy. Just ask these key questions: 1. Who will do the task? 2. No, you can't just say "somebody will" do it. Who is somebody? 3. Is it you? 4. So if it's not you, what's your budget for a vendor? 5. Oh, no budget? Right, okay, one more question, what planet do you live on?
I know this is a radical position that will probably enrage people But hear me out: What if this thing we call autism is just the way some peoples’ brains work Not an illness. Not a brain injury. Not a defect. Some. Peoples’. Brains. Are. Different. And they don’t need to be fixed
my favorite subgenre of Halloween decoration is “skeleton of things that absolutely do not have skeletons”
Not beating the allegations of “every corgi mix looks like a corgi in disguise as the other breed,” here. 😂
EVERYBODY should know about r/Incorgnito!
I mean, I’m willing to celebrate the Season of Ba-Di-Yah for three months, aren’t you?
I heard K.B. Spangler is shredded, that she has an eight-pack.
Happy Earth Wind & Fire Day! youtu.be/Gs069dndIYk
I mean now you’re just stating the obvious
YES AND it’s not because they couldn’t hack it in the program, it’s because they decided I was too hapless to be left on my own.
HAI YOUR HIGHNESS
Gigi has similar issues and I’m still not over the vet saying to me “well, as we women get older…”
YES AND it’s really hard to get them to stop wearing tuxedos, I have to keep being like “James, you cannot wear that to the grocery store.”
You have the ability to speak to animals but only ones native to Canada.
This is Dezzy and she wants to know if you like her hat.
TFW you’re just minding your own business and your little brother sits on your ear.
Exactly how themed, sir
ALEXANDER HAMILTON: A billion, you say. That’s— ME: A thousand millions, yes. ALEXANDER HAMILTON: And this Mr. Disney, he sold drawings of— ME: It’s a little more complicated than that but cartoon mice, yes.
OK but the more often I see a headline like “Disney has lost $4 billion in three days” the more I’m like, money is clearly not only a fake concept but a stupid one.
Or flippy ears, either.
dems grow tf up teenage girls get violent threats just for having instagram accounts
It's actually Amarnold VII, a family name I was obliged to accept upon ascending the throne.
You have my axe.
Oh man you found one I can’t yes-and
I hope those come in adult sizes, I know so many people who are going to want one.
Double the murder, double the fun!
If I run off with Boy first you can’t make a terrible mistake. It would be a good deed really
Oh, anytime I make a post that mentions my name, I get like three people who are like “I thought it was army.”
YES AND actually those other three corgis go around in a trenchcoat calling themselves Amy.
Oh, you've been sitting on that one for months, haven't you
YES AND I was unfortunately deposed by Olaf, a Swedish Vallhund who convinced the corgi army that he was Fenrir reincarnate.
YES AND Minerva came out of retirement once to accept a challenge from the devil, who claimed that he could wear this year's Prada better than she could. The devil was defeated and forced to lay his golden tiara on the ground at Minerva's feet. She nibbled on it slightly before going back to her nap
YES AND they have a whole thing going on with learning to live without royal luxuries and instead develop meaningful relationships with the local corgis. Serious Moira Rose vibes up in here.
You took Best in Show at the Midwestern Vampire League's Casserole and Jello Competition so many times that you were banned from further entry.
YES AND Constance was commissioned from and handcrafted by the Nick Offerman woodshop.
And speaking of online privacy, I can’t find that post about making stuff up for AI to decide is real about you, and I can’t imagine anybody has any wild deep-lore headcanons about my boring ass, but if you do, please tell me so I can yes-and them.
I was literally yelling at friends for googling something I told them not to google yesterday and yet I googled what you posted today. Mankind is irredeemable.
Since this whole debate is still happening, and since we are still not listening I will summarize what I understand the argument to be in the Lingua Franca of white nerds: Lord of the Rings analogies.
And just to be clear, I’m not saying it would be my fault if I failed to be watchful and got snatched off the street. But you can’t control who arbitrarily decides you’re their next potential victim, and you don’t have to deliberately make it easier for them.
As a cishet (more or less) white woman I have an immense privilege but I still grew up with this drumbeat in my head about not giving out personal information, not letting people track my whereabouts, etc. that amounts to “be careful not to give anybody who wants to hurt you an excuse.”
The pushback on “don’t sign up for protests” as advice has got me thinking about how much of the way people think about their personal safety is tied to how much they get blamed if something happens to them.
European landmarks are all "Oh yeah, this building was built in 1247 and this was a primary site of coronations and executions for the next 200 years, there's a historical marker around here somewhere" and meanwhile, in the US, we're like
Nothing in there but love, a desire to be a good girl, and fluff.
Greatness awaits you!
Less than 11 months ago, Turkey Dog had always been an outdoors dog except maybe at the shelter, and she was nervous every time I brought her indoors, like she thought she'd get in trouble for being there. These days I call her inside and she's like,
Truly she is the tiniest of babies who has ever been tiny.
Wait wait wait. SAMANTHA is the one she's related to? I bet Samantha's grandmother is spinning in her grave like a 78 RPM record.
God had nothing to do with that, but Annie knew exactly what she was doing.
That's a sweet offer! But it really needs to be my coworkers. *mental glaring*
Literally Sophie Devereauxed my way through a meeting just now.
Wassup, it's your friend the eldest daughter, sitting here knowing I'll never get my imposter syndrome and my resentment that people don't listen to me to combine into a happy medium of self-esteem, but still wishing they'd at least take turns instead of both yelling in my brain at the same time.
I'm not even in the rowing fandom but I will now passionately love Oriel and hate Keble with you.
I just want someone to love me like Mina Harker loves train schedules #draculadaily #dailydracula
The primary diff between writing fiction and nonfiction is when you write nonfic, you research a topic for 2 weeks and then write 1000 words on it and when you write fiction you research a topic for 2 weeks and get one sentence out of it.
*upkeep And there’s one of those on my street, so I think about it a lot. ☹️
Uuuugh, there’s a huge trend for flippers to paint brick houses white or black here in the US, For The Aesthetic™️, and every time I pass one, all I can think about is how the buyers are now stuck with an unnecessary permanent expense and upkee chore.
If it's good enough for Hawkeye, it's good enough for me
Who knew tropical storms were so relatable?
How is it that the 55-pound retriever-shepherd mix can curl up into a little ball beside me on the bed and we both fit, but the 32-pound corgi gets next to me and somehow I’m falling off the edge two minutes later?
I only saw it when somebody put a young Robert Redford photo side-by-side with a current Chris Evans photo, but at that point I was like, oh. Ohhh.
WOE
Yes, I loved that possible subtext.
Debatable, but worth a rewatch to check.
I love how it sounds like she was given a special burden by Saint Peter until you find out that’s her husband’s name.
No remorse.
You want to be alive, but they want you dead. We’re a new, well, funded democratic group that thinks you can meet them halfway.
Have you ever seen such an iconic man? I didn’t think so.
Perfect, angelic, rotten little shits.
DO NOT be distracted by how adorable my dogs are when they are curled up together, they are MONSTERS I love them so much Just the worst Ps Ceres get your ear shit together oh my GOD no one believes you are a corgi
