@AnAngryOpossum @RachelTheC This is the architectural equivalent of "AI doesn't know what human hands look like"...

@DonovanGentry Hashtag Squadgoals?

The fact that the programmers clearly put so much time into getting the open world and physics aspects of Zelda so complete, yet we STILL can’t pet the doggos, feels to me like an intentionally aggressive act on their part.

@cwhowell123 Also (obviously) I want to respect your student's privacy but if she *does* share this opinion herself online anywhere please post that! I would love to credit her directly when I'm telling people about this.

[Emily Conway @threadedpixels]

@cwhowell123 I have shared this quote with so many people since reading it, I hope you shared with the student how incredibly insightful her take was!

@RachelTheC At this point I think my 401K is 7 syrup dispensers and a pile of National Geographic’s from the 80s that we can’t throw away.

@RachelTheC I’m close enough to Chicago that I would get down there if it means a chance to see you!

@NatlParkService This tweet was definitely written by a wolf. No way, you’re not separating me from the herd that easily, not falling for it.

[Emily Conway @threadedpixels]

@RachelTheC How are allergies doing down there? Has cedar fever hit inner-ears early?

[Emily Conway @threadedpixels]

Please don’t feel obligated to reply, and I’ll keep googling for answers, but you and @QuinceMountain have become my trusted sources for How To Do A Winter and I’d be thankful for any advice you have!!

@BlairBraverman This year my partner and I moved from Texas to the Northwoods of Wisconsin and your “how to dress for cold” advice has literally saved my sanity. Have you ever written something similar for pets?

[Emily Conway @threadedpixels]

Malcolm absolutely LOVES the snow… possibly too much. How much snow can you let a dog eat? He claims “all of it” but his humans aren’t so sure…

I think one of the weirdest things about moving to the Midwest is suddenly recognizing the names of all of the towns in A League of Their Own. Turns out, they’re all real places! Who knew?!

[Emily Conway @threadedpixels]

@RachelTheC I’m convinced that 50% of why I agreed to move to Wisconsin was to be able to justify buying an entire dovetail wardrobe. As if swinging an axe to chop wood wouldn’t just immediately murder me.

@dansolomon How basic am I if I just say “Taylor Swift’s queerest songs”?

[Emily Conway @threadedpixels]

@QuinceMountain @danada0109 @nytimes As a recent arrivee in rural Wisconsin I think the only thing I can confidently say is that by next election, I’m pretty sure our library/community center WILL offer axe throwing as an amenity.

[Emily Conway @threadedpixels]

Also it’s been a really surreal few years and literally nothing about where I am tonight would have been predictable then. Wheeee, I guess?

[Emily Conway @threadedpixels]

Election night makes me think back to the last time I watched O’Rourke lose a statewide seat - a good group of friends let me get increasingly despondent (and drunk) as results rolled in, and I miss you all a ton tonight.
