Life is like the ocean. It can be calm or rough, but in the end it is full of salt and dead animals.
I bet Bob Dole would be way chiller if he swapped out that pencil for a vape pen
Did you know that walnuts aren't actually legumes?
In media res
In medias res should not be confused with a self-contained story that later has a prequel, although either a prequel or the techniques accompanying in medias res, such as flashback or exposition, may help to explain the original story's context and background... Some stories like this do begin in medias res but that is not what makes them so. Star Wars IV: A New Hope has been described as in medias res: what makes this so is that it opens in the middle of a chase and battle scene explained by a prose prologue, not because it has subsequent prequels.

Becky
The only thing that bothers me about the whole Becky thing (which isn’t even new!!) is that repeated use will take away the very special power that is my dumb, stupid name.
I mean, it’s a weird sounding word, right? The hard K next to the Y makes for an awkward glottal stop. It’s oddly cutesy. I tried to go by Rebecca for a few years in my 20s because I thought I’d be taken more seriously, but I kept forgetting I was using it, so I wouldn’t pay attention when people addressed me.
So like… Wendy Williams and people like that saying “Becky” is offensive, that’s silly. It’s just a name. It never hurt anyone. I feel kind of honored that Beyoncé has actually said my name–more than once, even. And like, if you’re offended people are calling you a Becky, then maybe stop doing the negative things associated with the term. Maybe being called Becky is a wake-up call for you. If you’re not doing anything hurtful, then own the name. ARE you being a Becky? Then what’s the problem? And if you’re really, REALLY not, then just imagine you’re being compared to me, maybe. I’m pretty great.
So the moral of the story that I’m writing from bed at 11:30am on a Sunday, fueled by coffee and nicotine vapors, is that words are words and names are names and Becky, as a nickname for Rebecca, is apparently super uncommon outside of America and if it offends you maybe you should do some self-reflection and probably chill out a little bit.
Love, Becky Hirschfeld
PS I’ll probably delete this later so give me notes now haha.

mbusux gave me all his old t-shirts so I could cut them up and make SLING SHIRTS!
Check out the asymmetrically wide neck, providing easy take-on-and-off AND extra cushioning under the strap!
Marvel at the intact left sleeve–no one is getting a chaffed armpit today!
Keep cool with the open right sleeve, fluttering in the sweet summer breeze! Also, side boob!
