@Yazzie_TheChef Those products really eased the transition for us. In restaurants it’s also led to feeling like I can order something other than a salad and be confident I will like it. Not everyone is great at cooking vegetables/beans, but it’s hard to mess up a burger or “meat” sauce.

@lingerie_addict @VeronicaJArt I told this bit of history to someone and he was like, wait, he guy who said “I loved war too much” more or less invented high heels in Europe? Me: yes, and he even had a rule that no one could have higher heels than his.

When they said “History repeats itself,” I wasn’t expecting all of the twentieth century in two years.

@The_Murmuration @WhoresofYore He sang “I only have ice for you” and by the time he got to her apartment, it was like, one tiny cube of ice for her glass.

the hardest i’ve ever been pranked is when i saw Interstellar cuz of all the pre-release press about them hiring astrophysicists to compute the mathematically most correct way to depict nebulas & blackholes & shit. but then the movie was like “actually stars are made of love ❤️”

So the reason not to say "screw it, let's just unmask and go back to normal" right now is to try to....flatten the curve. I know that's an expression from way back when, but it applies. We need to slow down infections to keep hospitals from collapsing. 6/n

@HunterHammersen Not frequent, usually I get toothpaste or something on it and I’ll wash it then. I wouldn’t call it “grimy” but maybe “when it seems almost grimy.”

Purchasing ya own n95 masks is def some stolen wages shit.

@perfectsweeties I went through a whole SAGA trying to figure out my sister-in-law’s cookie secret and turns out it’s literally just the Christmas cookies from Betty Crocker in 1970.

what if I told you that “learning to live with covid” means “accepting that some degree of covid precautions are just part of life now” and not “fuck it, covid is inevitable, let’s go back to freely coughing on strangers”

[Abby Norman @abbynormansays]

Them: We need a CHRISTIAN NATION!
Me: YEAH! Cancel the debt! Welcome the stranger!
Them: Not like that.

"you're living in fear of covid"
