When I was an undergrad, I had the unfortunate experience of reading a classmate's sentence. It has remained with me all these years and every now and then, I like to remind my friends of its cursed nature. "She licked him like she was trying to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop."

Wonderfully grounded, dreamy piece up this week about, well, dreams. Sink into "Waiting on a Dream" from @imbutashadow.bsky.social Link: dishsoap-quarterly.com/6-23-26

Living with your sibling as an adult is very similar to when you were a child, except instead of running away to avoid getting beat up when you piss her off, you are both too tired so the beating is psychological.

First dates should happen at a grocery store. You can eliminate so many people early on just watching how they shop for items, if they know what said item even is, etc. Beats having to find out they were incompetent later on.

Doing my due diligence as the Second Born helping buy toys for the First Born's Soles4Souls trip because the First Born had to learn about taxes and shake hands with adults instead of playing with yo-yos like me.
