Earth Day, but one where we actually celebrate the planet we love on and its wonders.

Most of the candle is designed very specifically so that it will not, in fact, catch fire and burn.

The blues

My neighborhood has kids living in single-family homes, but they all go trunk-or-treating. It’s extremely disappointing.

Leftovers, soup (typically Korean), or some sort of noodle dish (ramen, yakisoba, pancit, whatever I have around).

Find some way to jam the door so that no one can ever drag me out.

This is usually it for me, but recently I’m feeling down because there’s a strong chance that my just-turned-one-year-old puppy will outlive me. By a lot. And then her life would be depressing because my partner would largely leave her home alone, not play with her, not take her anywhere, and not keep up with her medical needs.

Meanwile, I don’t actually want to live as long as she should and I would feel so guilty leaving her behind, even if I end up having little or no control over it.

So I alternate between living for my dogs (the other one is getting old, so I don’t worry about this with her so much) and wishing that I had never gotten the puppy. But of course, I got the puppy so I wouldn’t kill myself when the older dog dies. It’s a conundrum.

It took me way too long to parse this sentence.

Yeah, this is not typical.

Is he? That’s the first I’ve heard of it.

I used to do this with nauseous versus noxious.

I’m an American and the former looks much more natural.

Illegitimate/legitimate. Always struggled with that one until I got a phone that could tell me how to spell it.

ITT: People who think that never having learned to do some niche skill is a weakness.

I also live in Seattle.

I’ve got tiny hands and I don’t think that I’ve ever seen a Yukon potato that was fist-sized.

As someone with cystic fibrosis, I’ve got the same problem but once a month. So much packaging. And then if you need a port for two weeks? Here’s your lifetime supply of materials.

I started training myself by asking people for the time. I don’t think that works so well now that everybody has a phone on them all of the time. I would also compliment people on something they were wearing, for example. Everybody loves that.

It’s easier to start with something small like that. Then once you’re comfortable asking and interacting with someone about that simple question, you can go for something more open ended.

Much like there has been no Dark Tower movie, there has also been no World War Z movie.

They don’t count.
