"Sini. Sini, you've been posting so much today, isn't it enough?"

No! No, you simply must look at my fucking cat, being a little kitty backpack! When I'm looking reasonably human for once and don't mind being on camera, too!

The English language, the US dialect in particular, has been mixing & confusing "rim" & "brim" for decades, & I have a theory for how that came to be.

Every Boomer & Gen-X'er remembers Brim Coffee, even if only subconsciously, while Millennials & Gen-Z'ers have never heard of it.

General Foods advertised the hell out of it in the '70s & '80s with the slogan, "Fill it to the rim with Brim," before suddenly ending it in the '90s. The ad campaign was so successful, it blurred the words together.

@Phorm It turns doomscrolling into bloomscrolling. I like it.

Reading Mastodon feels to me like reading newspaper columns, so reading your stories here feels like stumbling upon a serialized story episode in the daily tribune: a very pleasant surprise every time.

An offsite link helps, but the link shouldn't substitute for the episode you tell here. At the story's end, it's a gentle hand offering to pull us out of here and into a storyteller genie's bottle for more, if you will.

why do they call it microwave oven when you of in the cold food of out cold can't eat the food?

Why can't we have messy folders full of construction paper, cardstock, and custom stationery?

Do androids dream of electric sheep? 

No, but they do count sheep.

In baa-nary.
