i think if you're not from an abusive household, you might believe in some mental scoreboard where like, if you're nice sometimes and nasty sometimes, that it evens out. But for someone who was abused, each nice word counts as +1, and each nasty word counts as -1000.

Being nasty to a person who has a history of being abused, even just a few times, makes them cut you loose pretty much permanently. Preserving those friendships requires being thoughtful with your words.

PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA, the season of Won't Rain has ended. Today is the first day of Might Rain, so please look out in the yard and remind yourself of all the objects you may have left outside for the last 9 months assuming they couldn't possibly get wet, and bring them in now

already crying in the shower and the apocalypse hasn't even started yet.

now explaining to my european friend that "chicken fingers" and "hand turkeys" are unrelated concepts. it's a common misconception i guess!

if I say that one of my coworkers is "quite a character", it means that I fantasize about driving over them with an industrial riding mower and then laughing a hearty belly laugh as their guts are sprayed in a fine pink mist into the wind and taken away forever

We weren't comfortable with table service at restaurants but we did get to cook ourselves some decent meals! Now back to the grind...

auto cw: could contain food 

a thing that you should never, ever do is take a loaf of greenlee's schedule-1 cinnamon bread, soak each slice in a mixture of egg, ice cream, and rum, and fry it up like french toast

it just occurred to me that since nobody will be having an office Halloween party this year, there will be no campus security restrictions on face covered costumes... Sorely tempted to wear my fursuit to a team meeting!

ok @jjwolverine just replicated *perfectly* this appetizer of fig jam & goat cheese on toast from my favorite wine bar (sadly off limits since march)
