I keep a list of stuff I wanna write and realized that 2/3 of the list right now is just about trash. in the literal sense. i don't know what this says about me. Anyway, here's a trash post.

I love picking up trash. Unfortunately not really in the altruistic sense as much as the selfish 'i can make use of that' sense. Would be fun to get room and board in exchange for cleaning up a neighbourhood

As someone who does this for a living, I can confirm, it is very satisfying.

you are living my dream

BRING BACK THE WPA, I want a job picking up trash, building trails, and making public art

exactly!

this makes me think about taking up a volunteering role that's more tangible/physical in the way you describe. right now even my volunteering is very, like, services focused. helpful/impactful for sure but not very physical -- it's good for the soul i think to be able to directly see the change you're making. hmm.

I also would marry Zendaya

beer should never be $29 im crying

i was also crying

29$ for 2 drinks is the norm here in Sydney Australia LOL (a drink an event is around 15-17) still hurt regardless

Oh so you have CHEAP beers out there. (I am also crying at the price.) The last time I got nitrous at the dentist I had them turn it down because I "felt like I was two edibles in and was having a good time and it's okay if I'm a LITTLE scared".

:( I want to read about biscuit, bad movies and $29 beer but the link sends me to the 404 page.

@divergentrays Hmmm not sure what that's all about. Everything seems to be in order

I'm going to take your horoscopes much more seriously now

Delicious pepperoni readings when?

I love it. I'm ostracised and regularly peer-pressured because I've never been to 'after work drinks'. Hold the line!

Now you gotta try predicting the future based on the public transportation system in Finland. Named "Sporalogy" it's A horoscope method created by Finnish scientist Nils Mustelin in the 1980s.

Also, as long as you don't predict any pinapples in my future, I think I'm okay with this.

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.

Was happy to see Chattahoochee on here. My partner and I have it earmarked to be on our possible future wedding playlist, lol.

Btw, love your site, and thanks for the anti-fascist ribbon!

Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under, let's GO (this was the song of the summer for me and my college friends in 2018ish)

i love this!! alan jackson oh my, little bitty was a big hit for kid me :')

@qtbeans I love that one too

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!!!
