My cat was staring out the window, so I joked, "Let me know if the Amazon guy gets here.
Ten minutes later she hit me with the sharpest, most urgent meow I’ve ever heard. Looked outside, and there's the truck.
I am currently negotiating terms of lease with a creature that doesn't pay rent.
Ive said it before but its just so sweet that Luffy met an old man who is so full of smile and energy, with happiness and love radiating around him and instantly think to himself that "woah!!! This is what Sanjis gonna be in the future!!"
"You're so boring and relaxed. Don't you ever want to go out and enjoy your life?”
Listen, Linda!
You're meeting me in my 50s. I used 8.87 of my nine lives between 1985 and 1999 and did things your brain wouldn't even know how to process.
Honestly, I'm exhausted now.
My friends came over for movie night, and I warned everyone in advance that my rabbit, Clover, is not what you’d call low-key.
She’s free-roam, extremely fluffy, and deeply convinced she is part landlord.
My friend Nina arrived first and asked: Do I need to be careful where I put my bag?
From under the couch, Clover popped out like a tiny magician.
Me: Yes. She does spot checks.
Nina: Spot checks for what?
Me: Vibes.
Soon everybody was there, shoes off, snacks out, blankets piled up.
My friend Sam had brought his new girlfriend, who seemed sweet but shy in that way where she laughed quietly and kept saying, “Sorry,” for existing near furniture.
We started the movie, lights low, everyone settled.
About twenty minutes in, Clover hopped directly onto the couch, climbed over two people, and parked herself in the new girlfriend’s lap.
We all went silent.
Because Clover does not do this.
Clover likes exactly three people: me, the mailman for unknown reasons, and one chair in the dining room.
The girlfriend froze.
Girlfriend: I don’t want to move. Is this okay?
Me: This is more than okay. This is a diplomatic breakthrough.
Sam looked absurdly proud, like he’d personally trained the rabbit.
Then Clover stretched out fully, did a contented little tooth purr, and fell asleep on her.
Nina whispered: Oh my gosh. She’s been chosen.
The poor girl looked like she might cry.
Girlfriend: Animals usually don’t like me at first.
Me: Apparently mine skipped to chapter five.
For the rest of the movie, no one moved. Not for drinks, not for snacks, not even when Sam’s phone buzzed and he had to awkwardly lean like a malfunctioning flamingo to silence it.
At one point I heard him whisper.
Sam: Are your legs numb?
Girlfriend: I would rather lose circulation than disturb her.
After the movie ended, Clover woke up, yawned, and gently booped her hand with her nose.
Girlfriend whispered: Thank you.
Then she looked at Sam and said: I know this is fast, but if your friends ever need a bunny babysitter, I’m available.
Clover hopped away like she had completed an important screening process.
So now my rabbit has done more for my friend’s love life than any dating app ever has, and frankly, she’s insufferably pleased with herself.
My grandfather's funeral was last week and during the service, someone's phone went off. The ringtone was my grandfather's voice yelling "ANSWER YOUR DAMN PHONE." Everyone froze. Turns out my grandpa had recorded custom ringtones for all his kids telling them to answer their phones and my uncle forgot to change it. But it gets weirder. My aunt's phone then goes off with my grandpa singing "this is your father, pick up, pick up, pick uuuup" to the tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Then my dad's goes off with grandpa doing a terrible British accent saying "you've got a call, mate." All within five minutes. The priest didn't know what to do. My grandma started laughing so hard she couldn't breathe. She was like "he would've loved this." Now none of them want to change their ringtones. My uncle takes work calls and his boss hears a dead man yelling at him.
something i find really sweet is this detail that in the early days, one strawhat alone was enough to watch over the whole ship at night, but later on, because of sunny's size, they had to change it to two people at once... kinda shows how much they grew as a crew 🤕
BREAKING: Kentucky Democrats are calling for holding the special election to replace Mitch McConnell, and if McConnell is alive he's welcome to show up in person and campaign for his seat in whatever physical or cognitive condition he's in.
Robin doing the “pretend to be on the phone and say your dog’s favourite words” thing to Luffy like
“Oh hello TORAO”
“You want to go on an ADVENTURE?”
“And then eat MEAT?”
and each time Luffy is getting closer and tilting his head with big wide eyes
Layoffs used to be a last resort when a company was losing their ass. Now we’re more disposable than ever. Insanely profitable companies will destroy peoples livelihoods just to juice their stock price. Loyalty goes both ways, motherfuckers.
A used car that runs well enough that you'd put your 16yr old in will run you $6-16k. Insuring a teenager is $3-5k a year. Gas is $4/gal nationally. Fast food costs $15-20. Hanging out almost anywhere is illegal. There's not a ton of incentive unless your parents are loaded
