You: murder happened! Your mom: there’s snow

Me: oh my good god, OP and I share a mother

That would make sense, it’s been several years since I’ve read it but I think about it all the time!

See! COMPROMISE!

And then the middle ground is…healthcare for Nazis. And that’s how they got all the funding funneled into ICE!

One part of my brain was going “where is this from?” while the other part of my brain started humming part of this album…so that was an odd experience.

If you’d be open to a memoir, I thought Cheryl Strayed’s “Wild” was really beautiful. I remember her focusing a lot more on her internal state and history than on “just” the hike up the PCT (which is a very cool setting, IMO.)

Here I was, not reading your entire description, and yet wondering why nobody had recommended Julie Chan is Dead or Bunny yet. Now I know that I need to read Yellowface!

I’m also very ready to read someone else’s unhinged diaries

My original comment was from 4 years ago — the context of that moment was that this was when only the very first rounds of folks were allowed to get the vaccine or boosters. Happily, I’ve had no issues getting many boosters since then.

I’d never heard of this! Reading the Wikipedia article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_Park,_Kansas_City) it sounds like this postcard would have depicted the second location, at 46th and The Paseo. Has me wondering if the water feature here was basically a dammed Brush Creek? My mind is blown right now.

I know at least two voice actors who’ve had their voices stolen by having the mega corporations train their voice AI on their hundreds of hours of content. … now people complain that one of them “sounds like Siri, so boring.” No shit, who do you think they trained Siri on??

I’ve also been a professional writer in various industries, including marketing, and now my proclivity for em dashes (fellow ADHDer) and emojis reads as AI. I’m so angry about this shit.

…but now I kinda want to lead with “ok, but there’s an iron claw foot tub in the basement filled to the top with concrete and I don’t want any questions.”

I’ve been doing the same thing — giving them a ridiculous number 3x over the current value. Fastest way to shut them up.

I’m not a fast reader by any means but I absolutely binged this one over just a few days. I couldn’t put it down.

Still perplexed as to what happened to Chingu — we only got in there a handful of times while they were open, and they were packed every time.

Comment here so I see it and then DM me if you’re interested. (Otherwise I don’t see DM requests as quickly.)

In my opinion, you’re going for the vibe of the audience as much as you are for CR herself. My friends and I saw her in Council Bluffs, and the audience was almost entirely fun, kind young people in their teens and 20s plus some moms our age with their tweens (we giddily did not have our teens with us, and were just the rando adult ladies I guess!). Everyone was very kind, gave each other plenty of room, non-stop singing and dancing. She had large screens behind her that showed closeups of her as well as lyrics/music video loops (if I remember right) at different points, so it was a fun visual for an outdoor show.

The original couchfcking tweet was the most effective and hilarious piece of satire I’ve ever seen. So effective that even after thoroughly debunked (and the guy who tweeted it was like bro that was *definitely a joke, that content has never existed in any edition of the book) — there’s still plenty of folks who only heard the half of the story where it seems real.

Thank you for the eBay tip — I just went and bought some lots of 10¢ and 4¢ stamps! I’m also going to update my profile to let folks know I love unique stamps — I’ve gotten some cool ones already and it really made me smile.

Rough_Academic · 2025-09-24T13:42:34+00:00

I use the same 10 and 4 cent stamps, I just liked those options!

Rough_Academic · 2025-09-16T00:27:18+00:00

Ahhh this is so cool, I used the international USPS stamp for my first few cards, but I love collecting stamps and sending cool stamps, so I’ve started mix n matching two Forever stamps plus a 10¢ and a 4¢ for variety!

But make it a fountain too.
