Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Is there a collagen that doesn't make my mouth feel like I've been drinking hand cream?

Hey, all. Happy belated bday to David, Teppy, and the rest.

Teppy, I have definitely had ostensible days off where I was going around doing One Thing After Another, so I feel you on that.

Does anyone know who runs goodstuffhappenedtoday? It hasn't updated in a while and I'm vaguely concerned.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That's Jesse's IIRC

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

Jesse has been active on BlueSky in the last couple of hours.

Connections felt weirdly personal today because one of the categories should have been “places my parents have lived” (not that they were actually a group but could’ve been! Champagne, Indianapolis, Chicago, Dominican Republic)

Meara, I feel like it was one of the hardest ones I've seen recently.

I got no groups at all, comprehensive fail. I think that's the first time I've managed that. I don';t see a badge for it, so maybe I've done it before, but it feels unique.

Our wings are not tired.

Good thing I decided to let my streaks go and catch up on archives over the weekend. It is too stressful to add puzzles to my day after driving so many hours. Last night and tonight I didn’t even bring my laptop in from the car.

Staying in Fairborn OH tonight after surviving Alabama last night. I changed my shirt in the car rolling down the highway for my politically aware cousins. Lovely butterfly with text of “ The only orange monarch I care about”. It was appreciated here while the Alabama cousins probably wouldn’t notice but we have an informal no politics agreement.

Tomorrow another long driving day to Otter Lake.

Happy travels, Laura!

So freaking hot outside.
