Yup, I specifically use y’all and recommend it to people (like my parents) to replace gendered phrases, and I’m not from the y’all zone.

Still up for debate, “dude” and “hun/hon”.

Guldens Spicy Brown Mustard. Dad was from Brooklyn and loved it, as I kid I just wanted the neon yellow stuff all my friends had. Now, many years later, I always have it in my fridge.

I love and live by this quote at the end of Paris is Burning. by Dorian Corey, one of the founding Mothers of ballroom.

It’s a 1 min clip worth hearing her say it, but for those who can’t watch:

Everybody wants to make an impression, some mark upon the world. And then you think, you left a mark on the world if you just get through it and a few people remember your name. You don’t have to bend the whole world. I think it’s better just to enjoy it. Pay your dues, and just enjoy it. If you shoot an arrow and it goes real high, hooray for you.

Random woman who didn’t sleep very well last night. I got a different answer, then thought about it for 10 more seconds and then got 135.

(No I didn’t assume the right angle, my mistake was even dumber. I need a nap.)

Noodles, specifically Bee Hoon (rice vermicelli). Mild and feels like is absorbs all the sins of the night before.

A lot of basic foods, for instance: tuna, Pop Tarts(toaster pastries), Frozen Veg, Dry Pasta.

Bluesky has gained a million brazilion new users…

I’m so sorry, it was right there. And yay for Bluesky!

Anything muppets, I have so many positive memories, even the “so-so” movies make me smile ear to ear.

Moulin Rogue, it’s been one-upped so hard in the movie-musical genre, but I saw it like 10 times in theaters (back when that wouldn’t require a second mortgage) and still love it.

“Were you there?” shudders with rage

I mean yes, because that, but also it’s just pretty.

I’m a total wimp and I went upper outer thigh. Got it at a reputable place, but spur of the moment with a friend. Very little pain, almost always hidden, but as a bonus, gives me an excuse to hike up my shorts/skirt when it comes up in conversation.

"Well, this old librarian, she says, ‘This library is not for coloreds.’ He said, ‘Well, I would like to check out these books.’

"She says, ‘Young man, if you don’t leave this library right now, I’m gonna call the police.’

"So he just propped himself up on the counter, and sat there, and said, ‘I’ll wait.’ "

[The police and his mother were called]

"And the police officer said, ‘You know, why don’t you just give the kid the books?’

"And my mother said, ‘He’ll take good care of them.’ "

So, the librarian reluctantly handed over the books. And then, Carl says, "my mother said, ‘What do you say?’ "

And Ron answered, “Thank you, ma’am.”
