huge L: despite our best attempts at self-delusion and copium, we’ve been forced to admit that we are sick-sick and have to skip our mountain lake camping trip we’re meant to be leaving for this morning 😔

Some Millennials in my timeline are insecure because Gen Zs are telling them their ankle socks age them. I can't stress enough that you don't need to care about what a bunch of 20-somethings think about your clothes, mainly bc you don't have to care about what ANYONE thinks about your clothes.

getting older & minding my own business re: youth culture while also living in a college town is kind of like being in that ted chiang short story where people get a brain chip that makes it impossible to tell if someone is beautiful, but with coolness. I just assume every outfit is a Look

what makes me laugh is that they’re not dressed like the cool kids from when I was in middle/HS, they’re dressed like the unfashionable lame-o’s. reminds me of the 1st time I watched pretty in pink and struggled to parse the dynamics bc the loser characters looked cool as hell to me!

his hands look like this so my hands can look like this

“we have rolls in oregon” the rolls:

doesn’t even HAVE to be a kaiser roll for an ok approximation at home, like, really any good crusty roll can have an egg wash with salt and caraway seeds added on top and be Good Enough. but you ask for a roll here and they’re like “did you mean hamburger bun? biscuit? hawaiian roll?”

trying to explain what a kaiser roll is to my husband who has never seen a decent bread section in his life

If Joe Biden is fit to run for office, why isn't my anxiety disorder cured?

politics is not a healthy hobby. it’s good to be informed and great to be involved but the shit that’s happening on here is neither. stop playing madlibs with reality and go back to posting about your weird neighbor or cool rock collection or whatever. for pete’s sake.

whether you’re right or not you flipping out Online is not going to help in the least. if you’re actually up to date on what he’s done this week and still convinced he’s not fit call your representatives, voice your concern, then honestly *figure out a way to stop thinking about it.*

everyone tearing their hair out panicking about biden right now needs to log the fuck off. my goodness

I know a guy at Crossway; I’m gonna say he’s leaving money on the table

a single-volume standalone office of readings is my pipe dream liturgical book. it’s the perfect bible reading plan with built in commentary from the saints and tradition

if the catholic church had 1/10th the bible publishing game of the evangelicals I would be holding a liturgy of the hours office of readings: wide margin journaling edition in my hands right now

98*, decided to sit outside under the shade sail with an ice cold can of coke and the first issue of lumberjanes. review: perfect for when you just feel like reading about summer camp and remember being a girl scout for half an hour ✅

TRUMP: I am going to drop daisy-cutter bombs on Seattle just cuz BIDEN: I'll have the Bob Salad — ha, COBB Salad, whoops. NYT: Biden's Gaffe Sends Shockwaves Through Democratic Party; Trump Pledges Infrastructure Changes to Northwest

what are we doing here? he accidentally said million instead of billion and then immediately knew it and corrected himself. he didn’t “flub a line” and then “make an effort to correct himself,” he did the speaking equivalent of a typo that you know you’ve made and instantly correct

googled to check my spelling and. lmao

yeah viganò’s excommunication was latae sententiae, which means automatic/instrinsic to his actions. basically he excommunicated himself (put himself outside communion w the church) by loudly & repeatedly saying “this visible church body is evil and cancerous and i’m not a part of it.” like. okay 👍🏻

Chris Helzer has been documenting a square meter of prairie in Nebraska for the last few years. This shit is magical 🌱

The Second Half of June in My Square Meter Plot: The Action is Ramping Up!prairieecologist.com Well, June is over, and what a month it was! My second attempt (2024 vs. 2018) at photographing everything I can within a single square meter of Lincoln Creek Prairie has been a blast. I've spent an i...

the one time i’ve been prescribed opioids (codeine and vicodin) they had absolutely no effect even at the max dose which I attribute to my recessive redhead genes so I also fret about this tbh

my sister used to worry about waking up during surgery/pain control failing, bc of the redhead thing. never wound up coming up for her though lol

The Tories could still win if King Charles has courage.

more wyden insider knowledge for this fine day of independence: his staff have a map of every fred meyer location so no matter where he is he can quickly get a fred meyer rotisserie chicken for dinner after every town hall

this is my excuse to tell a favorite story of mine: I once overheard some senior wyden staffers adamantly telling someone who thought they were kidding that veep is extremely accurate. "no, really. that's EXACTLY what it's like."

Reskeet with a tweet u still think about

somebody left their dog in their car, in the sun, on an 87* day, at the grocery store. luckily when we got there community services and an army of aging hippie women were on the case. what an asshole, I hope those ladies kick their ass if/when they turn up

the feature I miss most from tumblr is the queue. loved being able to parcel out my little posts throughout the working day

Not to be corny but I do think the ongoing aspiration to make America a pluralist democracy of equals is righteous, beautiful, and worth honoring, even if it has more often been the struggle of minorities & dissenters than the policy of the government. 🇺🇸

just admit to yourself you don’t really have the interest/time/mental energy to vet stories and stop poasting about them

starting to feel like I really need to start muting ppl who consistently share article headlines or “news” based solely on what other accounts are saying. there’s a major game of telephone On Here that even ppl who talk a big talk on media literacy participate in
