Keanu is Canadian. But still, he’s a goddamn national treasure

They’re looking good! I made those socks once and vowed Never Again. I like knitting socks, but that pattern just killed me for some reason. Looks like you’re doing great, though!

There was no initial explanation as to why the shell ended up in the man’s body, but local media speculated that it might have had something to do with his social life.

While I’m a bit skeptical about your memories of learning to crawl, I’ll accept those pre-speaking memories, because I have those too. My two earliest memories I wasn’t speaking real words yet, just babbling, and I remember the frustration; both with being understood as well as with anyone actually trying to figure out what the hell I was saying. I remember it was especially frustrating as I could understand others around me, I just couldn’t be understood myself.

I also remember how big I was; in the one memory I was standing beside a chair, and it was the perfect height for me to lay my head down in the seat while standing up. So, standing but not yet talking. That would put me in the range of 10-14 months old, give or take

My 90yo grandmother tells me stories of her childhood all the time. Her earliest memories are of when she was around 2-3yo, and she absolutely hasn’t lost her sense of self at all. She’s sharp as a tack, honestly. I think it just really depends on the person

although the ceremony cancellations have been in direct response to the National Guard shooting, he believes the new restrictions have “nothing to do with the shooting,” and more to do with the expressed denaturalization priorities of the Administration

Seriously, this

German and Spanish. It’s ok, though every time I think I have an alright though basic understanding, someone starts speaking way too quickly and it all just falls apart. Also, speaking is difficult, and reaching for the correct words in the correct language is even harder. Many times I want to answer in German if someone asks me something in Spanish, and vice versa

Blue and white gaffer tape would be even quicker

What My Bones Know by Stephanie Foo

This one checks all your boxes. Except for maybe the bullying in school? I can’t remember if that was a theme or not. Fantastic read, though.

 
 

I missed out on much of the Halloween fun as a kid (thanks to my very religious upbringing) and am picking up the slack now as an adult.

This year we watched Hocus Pocus, the original Beetlejuice, Blade, and Interview With The Vampire. The up next list includes The Fly, Invasion Of The Body Snatchers, and Labyrinth.

What else should I add to this list?

 

Technically they're littermates...

Snek was found in BC, Canada. Said hello to new frend and then said goodbye.

Snek was maybe 14” long? My friend says it was probably a garter snake.

Edited to mention that there doesn’t seem to be a way to post videos in this instance, so I took a screenshot of a frame instead

 

Obligatory not-my-cat. This is Holly, the new smol. She’s eating the stick end of a feather toy. I’m told it’s the tastiest part.

 

Obligatory not-my-cat. This is my friends lovely void, Jezebel.
