30+ year old people are hot. You're sexy in your thirties.
I hope July is kind to you. And I hope that this July, you are kind to yourself.

category 7 late stage capitalism event (people are very excited about barbie marketing and mcdonalds marketing)
I have a zombie gnome on little stump by my front porch.
Today, I saw some kid walking to the bus stop, turn and come up my walkway.
Gently, he knelt down beside my gnome, reached into his pocket, and pulled out a smaller gnome with a rainbow hat. He carefully placed the little guy on the stump, then turned and went to the bus.
I went out to take a look and it looks like the little guy was hand painted to match the zombies facial expression.
I think I'm going to treasure this for the rest of my life. Yeah, there's good in the world. And the kids are alright.
Hey! Question for writers. How do you do that
Most of the time, no damn idea.
It’s the Caterpillar Idiom thing. Once you figure out your own version of the basics, you go forward and don’t pay more attention than you can help to what your legs are doing.
Unless I’ve got it wrong it’s not caterpillars (hunting-wasp food anyway) it’s caterpillars or millipedes.
Don’t think about how something that complicated works - that it works at all is enough for now, or at least until second draft.. :->
Sometimes two brilliant writers will both fail to write the word centipede and write the word caterpillar instead. This only happens when you start asking them how they do the thing they do.
Take this as a lesson.
Although the thing that centipedes and millipedes do is pretty explicable. The thing that caterpillars do, where they make a cocoon and then digest themselves into a liquid caterpillar soup and then use the protein-rich soup to build a butterfly that somehow still remembers things the caterpillar learned. That's weird, and probably more like what writers do. Which, I am certain, is why both Diane and Peter went there. Also both words begin with C.
you need to be earnest. you need to tell people that you love them. you need to speak on how you’re feeling honestly. you need to be sentimental. you need to stop letting the fear of other people laughing at you have so much control over how you express yourself. you need to get over yourself. you need to be embarrassing but true.
#hot take but it's about function #asian soups tend to be more liquid and so don't retain heat as well #so having more at once is good for it #western soups tend to be thick and creamy #so they retain heat very well #and thus a flatter spoon allows each mouthful to cool at a similar rate (@khancrackers)
