A truly gorgeous song without a single bad line

Truly. We have fewer and fewer options

Spend even ten minutes diving into yarn-based craft communities, and you’ll quickly realize just how angry people are about this

Truly. It’s nearly impossible to pick just one line because it’s all so exceptional. “I have reason to believe that we all will be received here in Graceland” makes me tear up
Lindsay Fickas (@lfickvitch.bsky.social)
The line “she comes back to tell me she’s gone. As if I didn’t know that. As if I didn’t know my own bed. As if I didn’t notice the way she brushed her hair from her forehead” is the type of thing that makes you want to put down a pen and never pick it back up.

Raising a child from the covid lockdown is fun. For several years, he only had our dogs to play with. It still affects him. He just told me, “mom, run with your tongue out. You’ll feel alive.”

They did such a good job bringing that one into the future. We had to get a new car this year, and had it not been in the first generation (and had cheaper, used options lol), I would have pushed very hard for one

The new VW bus really is the anti-cyber truck. I will squeal with excitement every time I see one in the wild. I will take a picture and send it to my friends. We will all talk about how cute it is.

If you feel depressed about the state of all this, you can make soft pretzels. It won’t help anything, but you’ll at least have soft pretzels.

I understand the reasoning but I also think it shouldn’t be against the rules to bring a drink into the art museum if that drink is a latte.

There were middle schoolers at an elementary school function last night. They paused to find their pics on the year-end posters from years prior, and one goes, “wait, was I low-key eating here?” I love the younger generations so much

After having a pretty rough week, I consulted my friends to see if I needed to break away from the red hair, and I guess if you’ve been dying your hair this shade for long enough, going with a different color is how you show your emotional distress.

I love those brief few years when your child's artwork is completely deranged. The legs stick out from the head. The mouths are always open, perhaps in horror. There are three arms, but it's in an intentional way.

The thing about My Lunch is that it shows just how deadly rabies is, but they soften the actual manifestation of that disease. Rabies is horrifying! You could have it and not know it until it starts to present months later! And at that point, it's going to kill you, and there's no way to stop it

One thing that will always bother me in the New Girl break-up episode is the fact that the central fight stems from Jess insisting on putting together a huge toy ahead of a kid’s first birthday party, and she’s so wrong for that. Keep it together! Attach a gift receipt to that box!
