Running Fingers

all sorts of echoes in these caverns

the thing about team 69 is that griddlehark is about exactly as insane as you'd expect given their circumstances, which only serves to make cam and pal even funnier. they don't have any fucking excuse, they had an entire society around them, why are they that bad? why is their closest parallel for unhinged devotion and codependency the two repressed teenage lesbians who were the only children on their entire fucking planet? like team 69 works because each pair looked at the other and very incorrectly went "finally, some normal fucking people" but cam and pal did that to themselves on purpose where gideon and harrow were basically forced into that absolute disaster of a situationship. it's great

Because I saw a poll that asked a very good question, but did not have *nearly* enough options:

I'm not answering this yet but I'm saving it for later. As a professional singer paid by a church choir, I have sat through four to six hours of Christian church services every week for years. I'm going to need to meditate on this question to be able to pick the answer closest to what I think.

I'm one Jew and I have like eight opinions on this and only get one button

Ok, question. Why not use the For You page at that point?

Because it sucks

do you ever laugh with your friends and think oh this is the point. this is the point of everything

Everybody hates on paywalls but they've saved me from reading so many NYT articles 🫂

Yeah, I’d watch Muppets Lord of the Rings

I switch between writing the ampersand in several font variations (cursive, serif, and sans serif) and the plus sign.

gonna make a spinoff of ff7 called “cloud strife’s chocobo ranch” where after all the horrors he settles down and opens a chocobo ranch and it’s just the chocobo breeding and racing minigames by themselves with some light social sim elements like stardew valley and also this time you can pet the chocobos and brush them and take care of them like it’s barbie’s horse adventure for the playstation 2

Some of you don't have firm principles that transcend ideology, and it shows.

"Spreading blatant misinformation is okay when it supports a cause I care about, and if anybody corrects me, it means they do not share my values." 🤡

"Police brutality is okay if it's being carried out by a government ascribing to my preferred political philosophy." 🤡

"If this person has harmful views, then my criticism of them can't be [racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic/antisemitic/Islamophobic/classist/ableist/etc]." 🤡

Like, please, I'm begging you guys to invest in some basic standards.

Twenty years ago, February 15th, 2004, I got married for the first time.

It was twenty years earlier than I ever expected to.

To celebrate/comemorate the date, I'm sitting down to write out everything I remember as I remember it. No checking all the pictures I took or all the times I've written about this before. I'm not going to turn to my husband (of twenty years, how the f'ing hell) to remember a detail for me.

This is not a 100% accurate recounting of that first wild weekend in San Francisco. But it -is- a 100% accurate recounting of how I remember it today, twenty years after the fact.

Join me below, if you would.
