But by the time I arrived I'd been in the car for three hours straight and REALLY needed to pee, and it turns out that shuts down all your other emotions and priorities 😂

I'm at my parents' house for the first time since Dad died (we're touring the venue for the memorial tomorrow) and when I was thinking about it yesterday I figured I'd start crying as soon as I walked in because he's not here...

Good post focused on the presidential election. If you want to help my beloved, beleaguered south fight back against gerrymandering and anti-democratic capture, here's a few orgs that can help:

Just called my D senators to say I expect them to sign onto this call to investigate Clarence Thomas for corruption. Took just a few minutes. They need to hear from us -- feel free to call your senators today! www.senate.gov/senators/

I was recently reminded of the wolf puppet in CQL and am once again mentally detailing all the ways they could have shot that scene *using the same puppet* that wouldn't have looked like a looney tunes cheesefest

Moling Su is NOT INVITED after entirely biting the Lan sect's color scheme Meanwhile there's a fresh new sect starting up who doesn't even have branding yet and all the good colors have already been taken so they're trying to decide between neon green/hot pink and mud brown/mustard yellow

I probably won't write this but I had a sudden strike of inspiration for a very silly fic set in MDZS/CQL canonverse: The side room in the discussion conference where all the artisans for the sects get together to discuss color schemes and logos to make sure no one's branding overlaps too badly

Ok, y’all, this is a totally scientific (NOT!) research study: Please reply to this if y’all have the coriander/cilantro soap gene *AND* also can’t stand creosote tea… erm… I mean… Earl Grey tea. If y’all could please repost to get a wider sample, I’d be much obliged.

Oh my GOD the way coffee drinkers do not understand how coffee bleeds into every other flavor if you try to share equipment is almost as infuriating as being brought earl grey when I asked for english breakfast

Earl Grey always tastes like someone forgot to finish rinsing the soap out of the cup and the number of times a breakfast place has attempted to gaslight me into thinking it's the same as English Breakfast is infuriating. I apparently carry a specific curse, and have no idea what fairy I offended

Just remembered the time I got into a polite argument with a server at a snooty breakfast place who insisted they hadn't brought me earl grey and I insisted they had because it tasted like bergamot. They finally brought out the jar and I pointed out the flavoring list that INCLUDED FUCKING BERGAMOT

Yeah, I think some of it is we expect a person who has the capacity for empathy (as present in the making of art, since so much of it is trying to share experiences) to... not be a horrible fucking person, but people also have the capacity to be assholes so it comes across as more of a betrayal

Pasta, my beautiful wife, has been eternally loyal and loves me with her whole heart and nourishes my body, and I'm supposed to throw her over for a vegetable whose selling point is that it looks like a worse version of another vegetable I like? Absurd! You think me so unfaithful to darling Pasta?

Perhaps I simply cannot understand the desperation of someone with celiac, but I can't imagine looking at the stringy mess that comes out of a spaghetti squash (an undesirable texture for any other squash!) and thinking, "Yes, this is an acceptable replacement for my beautiful wife Pasta."
