An absolutely normal one being had in Mt Morgan. Thank you for having us, Wattle Day Festival & MMPAD gang. ❤️

being a writer at this specific point in history is sort of like being a 15th century monk/scribe as someone dumps a printing press at the door of the abbey because yes you might be destroying my entire way of life but it somehow feels like it's you lot who are out of your depth

3) Kids don’t have to pretend that alcoholic drinks taste nice. “Ooh, I do love a fruity red”. No you don’t, you’re drinking grapey vinegar just to get pissed.

D&D highlight: due to a font choice, an "interminable yarn" ie a long boring story to bore your enemies to sleep, instead became a spell for a really, really, really long sweet potato.

Wile E. Coyote is doing a reddit AMA right now for Coyote vs ACME and strictly answering through signs, and it's genius.

I'm so hungry for proper traditional bread I'm using the time machine to go back in time to bake myself some. Let's see, 360 years ago will do. I'll choose London as location and find myself a closed bakery and break in. Nobody will ever know I was there, unless I mess up...

The millienial-who-scraped-their-whole-vocabulary-from-books-they-read-too-young urge to put a lil "bruh" at the end of "macabre" is real.

macabre = “muh-KAHB” Worcestershire = “WOOSS-ter-sheer” omnipotent = “ahm-NI-puh-tunt” reticent = “RET-uh-sunt” epitome = “ih-PIT-uh-mee” myriad = "MEER-ee-ud" Never make fun of someone if they mispronounce a word. It means they learned it by reading.

Researchers investigating an unusual 17th-century burial in Poland, in which the remains of a teenage girl were found with a padlock on her toe and a sickle across her neck, believe the "anti-vampiric" measures may have been intended to stop her returning from the dead.

Wrong orange one, Death, you arsehole.

D&D update: we needed a name for a random hippo found in an unlikely place. I suggested Escobar. Not only did nobody get it, but the DM misheard and now our party has a hippo called Estefan.

Went outside. Moon made everything a faint daylight. Something that was either a crippled deer or a shapeshifter crab walked out the dark, across the trail. Eyes lit in reflected moon. Nodded at it, one cryptid to another. "Go on, with your unsettling ass. Go haunt some other spot. This one's taken"

This post was going to be asking for help with a quandary but I solved it myself once I thought about it long enough to put it into words so now this post is about how TIL I've been spelling "quandary" wrong my whole life. Two 'a's? In THIS economy?

Ugh, I hate it when remakes screw around with the source material. This guy looks nothing like a fox.

I never realised that Dolly Parton couldn’t have children because of endometriosis. And that she was public about that in the 70’s and 80’s, when there was even more stigma and shame around infertility and menstruation than there is today.

How the BBC is reporting Dolly Parton's passing.

What's the first historic event that you remember?

So I don't have A Dolly Story like so many do, but when I was stuck in a shit jobI had a playlist that was just 9 To 5 & Take This Job And Shove It on a loop and ISTG it gave me the strength to go on and get out.

Babe, wake up. Psychoceramics is the term we didn't know we needed.

Clicked on "crank" from there, was not disappointed. 'Synonyms include kook, contrarian, nut, and crackpot — the "crackpot" variant has led to the coining of the term "psychoceramics" as the name for the study of such people.'
