Often wonder what I do with my time. Usually remember long periods of sitting dead still doing nothing. I'm sure I do more than that...?

abebooks, book depository, and goodreads are all owned my amazon.

i am guilty of using goodreads, but everything else amazon owns i avoid like the plague!! and by avoid i don’t mean “use only when necessary,” i mean “cut out of my LIFE COMPLETELY.” if i can’t get it anywhere except for amazon, then i simply cannot get it. it can’t be that important if only amazon sells it. 

I highly recommend storygraph if you haven't tried it, it has way more features than Goodreads (it lets people tag content warnings, filters books by "mood" and "pace," lets you mark books as DNF, has all sorts of fun little graphics and charts...) and you can easily export your existing stats from Goodreads

um we didn’t want to be rude but you do bring a strong restless spirit vibe to all the functions. we don’t think you’re haunted we actually think you might be the ghost. but we didn’t want you to be sad so we weren’t gonna say anything

Ok so Haumea, a dwarf planet beyond Pluto, spins so fast it gets elongated like this. This is just what it looks like. Something deeply unsettles me looking at it. Terrifying.

this is so fucked up

This planet looks like a cool rock someone found in a creek.

Sprinkling tragedy into your comedy and comedy into your tragedy for a little added something something of je ne sais quoi before I do an exaggerated chef’s kiss and sweep gracefully out of the kitchen👩‍🍳

Something about the drama of the Twitter blue check mark made me think of the Dr Seuss The Sneetches book, and I find the comparison hilarious

For context, the story goes having a star on your belly made you cool, but then a guy with a machine made it so you could pay him and add a star to your belly. So all the starless sneetches bought the star, but then since they weren’t exclusive anymore, all the star sneetches wanted to get rid of their star to be cool and starless, and the guy with a machine would do that for money. This happened a few times until no one knew who was original what and they all became friends and learned a lesson about the pointlessness of the stars and being scammed out of money.

Also I haven’t read the book since I was like 7 so the story could be totally off :)

Jenna  You know what you can’t see when you play that clip is that at the end of that scene, Sandra, played by PM, gives golden face a kiss on his cheek.

Angela Yeah. And in the shooting draft, it’s said after the scene plays, you cut back to real time in the conference room. And Jim and Pam are holding hands, enjoying the scene, remembering what that meant to them.

Jenna  I mean, Pam got to kiss Jim’s cheek in front of Roy.

Angela I know. Wow.
