No, it’s just got an irritating sound. Also it makes me think about Niblets (the frozen corn kernels). But that’s not enough to explain how annoying I find that word. Maybe I’m just weird ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Something about that word irks me and I’m not sure why.

I’ve always loved that quote. Also this beast:

And we get a little further from perfection
Each year on the road
I think that’s called ‘character’; I think that’s
Just the way it goes
But it’s better to be dusty than polished like some
Store window mannequin
Won’t you touch me where I’m rusty
Let me stain your hands

Oh jesus fucking christ I have hoodies older than this kid.

But doesn’t the starter take like 3 weeks?

It takes me an hour to make pizza from scratch at home. I’ll grant it’s messy but it’s pretty easy!

Dough recipe

Pizza sauce recipe

Pizza stone

Pizza peel

1. Prepare dough following steps 1-8 in the dough recipe above
2. While your dough is rising, prepare the pizza sauce
3. Liberally dust your pizza peel with corn meal (use more than you think you need!)
4. Transfer the rolled-out dough onto the pizza peel and pinch the edges to form a crust
5. Assemble and cook the pizza following steps 10-12 in the dough recipe above. I tend to use about 1/2 cup of pizza sauce, 4oz grated mozzarella, fresh basil leaves, and pepperoni, but the sky’s the limit really
6. Enjoy!

Hey fellow Philadelphian! I’m originally from New Jersey but have lived in and around Philly since the late '90s.

I like the Citizen of Earth concept too. We’re all human and borders are just lines on a map!

Break out of frames!

A continuous passive motion machine.

I had arthroscopic hip surgery to repair a cartilage tear and shave down some bone overgrowth. For 3 weeks after surgery, I had to put my leg in this machine for an hour four times a day. It slowly bends and straightens your leg, which is supposed to help stave off scar tissue formation inside the hip. And it was rough. I needed my husband’s help to get strapped into the thing, I could never find a comfortable way to position my leg, the thing was noisy as hell so I couldn’t nap while I was using it, and I was lying flat on my back so it was hard to read a book or watch a show without hurting my neck. It sucked and I was so glad when I was cleared to stop using it.

When I was a young idiot, I really thought Clonaid was gonna be a thing. I guess I thought it was plausible because I grew up reading a fuckton of scifi and Dolly the Sheep had been born a couple years prior. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’m so sorry for your loss :'(

I thought it was Dead Aunt Sally?

This is so cute

Then try being legitimately interesting, rather than co-opting an identity that doesn’t actually belong to you.

Also there’s nothing wrong with “basic.” Most of us are basic in some ways and interesting in other ways. Surely being straight and liking Starbucks and TikTok is not the sum total of who you are. Figure out the ways in which you’re unique and interesting. If you don’t think there are enough, then put the time into developing new hobbies. Personal growth is amazing. But don’t lie about who you are. That’s way worse than being basic.

ETA: I forgot to mention, based on this:

I want to be spicy and strong, not just like a girl who starts drama and complains like your average basic girl.

you should get your internalized misogyny figured out. Like, pronto.
