Me- Look at this coffee mug I got on clearance today!
Friend- LOL that looks like a soup mug.
Me- Well it is but why limit yourself?
It's 16 ounces, folks.
Sixteen.
Yay
My theory about Nessie is that unusually strong currents uncovered a Viking long ship and caused it to roll over.

Looks like it's going to be another sanctimonious week here on Al Gore's Internet.
Reminder that human beings are not members of sports teams, and there's no difference between mocking people after disaster who live in a currently red state and people on the right stating that natural disaster is God's punishment for the LGBTQ+ community.
Be kind, and think before you snark, please.
My headcanon is that the person who developed the new Applebee's TV campaign is a frustrated GenX who muttered "Fcking job. You want pandering? Let's Fcking PANDER." Cue the 80s music blaring through every commercial while the person who created the campaign flips the bird at the TV every time one comes on.
I just got a text that my scumbag cousin passed away a few weeks ago, and this obituary is one of the most convoluted things I've ever read.
Good gravy.
All Chapel Hill and Carrboro schools are in lockdown.

My dog was doing her circles on the sofa to create her nest, and she fell off. I wasn't going to laugh until she turned her head to check if I'd seen it.
Then I cracked up.
This 60th Anniversary #DoctorWho fan-created video is absolutely beautiful and made me tear up.
The #Walgreens by our grocery store built a free-standing drive through only on the other side of the shopping center and then shut down the store itself.

My ability to put people into the Not Trustworthy Box and remove myself, regardless of how long we've been in any kind of relationship, terrifies people.
I no longer trust this person.
They're into the box.
Period.
Lost a longtime friend tonight of decades because she felt it necessary after I expressed fear for my trans child here in NC to tell me her MAGA cousin sent her supplies, but she's not THAT KIND of MAGA, and I called out the white cis het privilege wrapped up in that declaration while I try to figure out where my kids won't be persecuted as heinously.
And here's where I differ-
I'm fine with that.
I'm #GenX. Growing up in NYC, with Latins, Blacks, and Asians, I thought my generation had solved racism.
Of course, that was a silly assumption. As a Latino, I've been subjected to bigotry by white Gen-Xers. And as a Latino, I've of course seen my own people inflict the same racism on Black people.
Black people are not going to solve racism, because they've done nothing to cause it. They are the recipients, not the initiators. The conversations will be painful, but it is what it is.
Ugly bag of mostly water.
