“I see Patti LaBelle [at an awards show] and Patti LaBelle recognizes me and she grabbed me and said, ‘I listen to your song when I work out. It’s an inspiration for me. Your song inspires people to work out. It gets me going.’”
I've been thinking about an unusual kind of garbage problem. When the Large Hadron Collider shuts down, all those high-speed particles have to go somewhere.
This is where: An 8-meter-long radioactive graphite trash can, called a beam dump.
i grew up in swva and when i spent a couple weeks in raleigh in the summer i was surprised at how much worse it was. i cannot imagine it with a heat index of 118f
lmao I called my local coffeeshop to see if they were open today--my fave barista happened to pick up & she was like yep we're here and also we have almond lemon loaves left [one of my go-to pastries]
