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 ♡♡♡

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!

One time I saw a woman at Aldi kneel down to firmly insist to her crying child: You *like* bananas. This week’s Furbish Phrase of the Week is inspired by that encounter

"Why is Neocities showing a preview of my April Fools' pag—oh, right."

I only have ONE sibling so my mother should have been able to keep our likes/dislikes straight. He loved bananas. I very much did not. I can still remember being very young and my mother trying to make me eat a banana because "you *like* bananas!" Childhood trauma relived.

i would also love to wear a microwave across my tit

That solar system one is really neat! I also like the carousel one. Good luck on your quest to find these!

His checkerboards are nice because he uses an alternating colour pattern instead of a typical checkerboard. I also love them!

lowkey want to make that first one

I love looking at these

@eliodelio I am definitely planning on making a Michael Simon style sweater sometime. It would not be too difficult since he uses felt instead of some crazy intarsia knitting most of the time. The beading might be challenging though!

I'm feeling like the world needs more sweater posts. maybe I should post my sweaters. I have many Halloween sweaters!

Oh great, now I can't rest until I find that cat one.

@maxcrunch Do it!

The Ms Frizzle energy of these is unmatched
