While you’re back there, @doctorow, there are a few things I’d like you to do. Small changes, that’s all it’ll take.
Boing Boing, why oh why can’t your time machine jump to the future.
@orenwolf cleanup on aisle 5
We should get him a mop for christmas non-religion specific celebration of the winter solistice.
Are you sure you want that? I mean, really sure?
Did you just assume someone’s method of cleaning!?
Hey, what could possibly go wrong?
Hold my eggnog.
I just learned that store-bought eggnog is so ridiculously thick because it’s made that way in order to end up at the right consistency after you add alcohol. And here I always thinned it with milk, because who can drink it so thick? I never really understood that it’s intended as a mixer. I thought alcohol was something people added because they felt compelled to have alcohol, and they didn’t care if they ruined the delicious flavor of it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Anyway, as they say: Don’t drink and time-travel.
I think this falls under “mopping up”.
We all have a responsibility to call out broomshaming* when we see it.
*Not a reference to witches practitioners of wicca.
Hey, one of my great-grandmothers used to work in a broom factory as a test pilot.
You folks are awesome
