I'm just not cool with that.

Hey, friends, I can't handle this place anymore. The new TOS that are coming at the end of the month are the last straw. I'm over on the blue app if you need me.

[Jen Grogan 🏳️‍🌈 @EightArmsEdits]

I'm trying out the blue app, now, if anybody is looking for me!

@eye_of_a_cat Same, same. Maybe we'll be good influences on each other...

Well, it was fun for a while, but I really think I might be done here. I'm on Insta with the same username, and those of you who know me well can find me on Tumblr (at least for now) or, occasionally, Dreamwidth.

Born on this day in 1866, Beatrix Potter is beloved as the creator of Peter Rabbit. Unbeknownst to most, she made groundbreaking discoveries in how lichens reproduce and revolutionized mycology with her drawings of mushrooms https://t.co/kjTklrhCag

Hey, @USPSHelp, can you please explain why writing "Return to Sender: Not at This Address" on the mail of someone who does not live at my house no longer works? I keep getting the mail back in my mailbox. I don't want this person's mail. How can I express this more clearly?

[Jen Grogan 🏳️‍🌈 @EightArmsEdits]

@KelleyFrodel No idea. I’ve heard some talk about Bluesky, but nothing solid. Let me know where you end up, please!

If it fits, I sits.

Production companies forgetting that no one delivers a rousing speech like actors.

[Variety @Variety]

Bryan Cranston delivers a rousing speech addressed to Bob Iger at a SAG-AFTRA strike rally in Times Square: "We will not allow you to take our dignity. We are union through and through all the way to the end." https://t.co/M0Cs5ahWZo

@ethanquinsey Houses get like that. Calls specifically to or from my grandma often drop in our living room. I thiiink it’s on her end, but I’m never quite sure.

@eye_of_a_cat I will never understand the "But it's not going to happen!" contingent of fandom. Uh, yeah, I know? That's why I'm writing it myself? Sigh.

Totally unrealistic how few supervillains’ origin stories go something like ‘my small child’s been having trouble staying asleep at night and now you assholes are shooting off fireworks at 11 pm on Sunday the freaking FIRST of July.’

This is amazing and only 10 minutes from my house, I am losing my mind over it. I’ve been so sad ever since PNB stopped using the Sendak designs!

[Atlas Obscura @atlasobscura]

Every Christmas season, the owner of this house, a harpist for the Pacific Northwest Ballet Orchestra in Seattle, hauls these figures over from a storage facility and carefully installs them in the yard. https://t.co/9FVRsxDl52

@RoseLerner Always happy to help, especially when ice cream is involved! 😁
