I have a playlist titled "terrible songs that are good" and a couple of these are on there.

as someone with a very southern mother, i approve of this list. my favorite shania twain is i'm gonna getcha good. man i feel like a woman is a close second. my friends in college loved to use it in their drag show mixes.

i recently discovered a cd i had burned in middle school and "brokenheartsville" by joe nichols was on it. and tbh. i fuck with it. i could imagine a chappell roan cover of it sounding really nice.

These are all 1)my childhood in the south in the 90s and 2)bangers

these are sooo good i love Chattahoochee lmao. american honey also holds a nostalgic place in my heart

whoops thats actually 2010. it all smoshes together at this point lol

@oscarspage they should be on the playlist called "good songs that are good"

@neopetgameboy Shania is a legend, I love her. Haven't heard that Joe Nichols song. These days I don't really listen to much country music. Will have to check it out.

I was writing about how I used to use my lava lamp to avoid long division tests but then this came out instead

sibling relations always an interesting thing to reflect on especially if as someone not particularly emotionally Close with em (but in my case the only sister & youngest from a whole lineage of brothers [4 of em]. partly blaming my genderweirdness on this [halfjoke])

really enjoyed reading this

Really honest and lovely thing to read despite the sad subject matter, thank you. It got me very emotional, and I relate to your younger-self's space walk; you can't lose their game if you don't play it. Also sorry you were named Moo Cow.

Goatlynn actually

thank you for sharing this story

this is so bittersweet

This was a beautiful read and always interesting to me as an only child. I see your Goatlynn and raise you my dad's reasoning for my name: It reminded him of Anna Nicole Smith.

Oh man the name thing, I got a nickname/dog name as my actual legal name and my sister got the name of an ~elegant~ aristocrat

has it already been a month since skep stole my identity?

"Borrowed", I borrowed it. I returned it to you gently used.

This week's Furbish phrase comes ahead of International Workers' Day

furbies of the world unite!!!!!!!!!!

My "furbies against fascism" sticker is on my pocket journal so I look at it every day!!!

one answer to the toe situation: Pure Mischief. but also hand-to-bare-skin might well be an effective way to wake someone up... was tired af at a semirecent clubnight-event, and one of the dj-s (who recognizes me) at one point well woke me up by way of solid hand on my then-bare shoulder. but shaking a student's bare big toe is a hilarious way to for sure 😭😭😭😭

the lime consumption situation is crazy too. need a whole page for perplexing happenings

I assumed your visual style was an intentional commentary on our vain endeavor to recapture the essence of the web we remember from our youth, but maybe I'm just reading too far into things for the sake of this joke

A couple of years ago I started writing an essay about Coldplay--namely about the themes of surveillance and paranoia sprinkled throughout their lyrics. But then I realized that writing something in depth about Coldplay just ... isn't worth it?

@emilynhoward if you ever did write that coldplay essay pls message me the link, i would love to read it

@bonesauce please make a zine out of the coldplay essay and mail it to me thx u

That "faulty model" comment isn't getting the recognition it deserves. That had me laughing out loud.

@sneekrealm it probably was mischief, but omg i cannot imagine taking hold of someone's toe like that.

@skep Oh yeah totally. This thing was created with intent. Everything means something. It's definitely not just a bunch of stuff I have in my house, cut out and slapped on a website...

@emilynhoward It's true. I am still tempted to finish my thoughts on "Viva la Vida," but honestly that song has been in my head for weeks now and I don't want to think about it anymore.

Gawd, I felt your last paragraph 😂 I am 44, and typing this comment wearing an over large Animal Crossing Brewster pullover which I know not one coworker will recognize when I have my meetings today :p I want to take the chance to mention that I love your site's glorious use of color ♡♡♡

@dicjournal Thanks very much! A Brewster top sounds up my alley. :) I’ve been dressing with more bright colors/wacky patterns at work in the past year or so. It feels like a much more authentic version of me even though my work persona is very reserved. Sometimes I wonder if it’s confusing for people (kinda like that person who was surprised by my site), but I guess they probably don't think about me that much.

i love your blog updates <3

this week's furbish translation is a travel essential

If it was a Furby student going "Can I go to the bathroom" the following week would be the Furby teacher going "I don't know, can you?"

Student: Kah ah-mah wah-wee-tee lay-lah? Teacher: Kah ah-mah boo way-loo-wee-loh. Doo-dah oo-nye?

(proving i will do literally anything other than concentrate on my work)

Can I request "Ou est la bibliotheque"?

That one's easy. Dah wee-loo lay-lah?

Thanks for posting the key update - that is a fancy lock! 🦁 Super excited for you that Furbys Against Fascism got a lot of interest! Dah may-may!!

Thank you for the key update, we were all invested! Pink Flamingos is one of my faves and I yearn to see it in a theatre some day.

If you ever end up down south, the EJI museum & memorial Stevenson spearheaded in Montgomery is incredible. I also know what you mean around learning about these things feeling like self-harm, and I appreciate that the way the museum and memorial frame history feels both dark but actionable and pulled me out of a kind of freeze state around these issues instead of putting me further into one.

@smallcypress I absolutely want to check it out if I’m ever down South

Bryan Stevenson's book single-handedly made me a prison abolitionist. What an honor.

when i finally get around to making stickers of my shop wizard furby i would *love* to do a trade with you

@neopetgameboy Yes please!
