2000’s Twilight Outfit and Accessories. Possibly the most 2000 thing to ever 2000. There’s also a holofoil Twilight Accessories box, which I forgot to fit in the picture but which is included and only very slightly dinged up. The purse has a seam and a small edge of the shiny cover fabric coming unglued, but other than that everything is in pristine shape. Asking $30 plus shipping.

I really wish I liked this better. It’s a lovely, high-quality, well-made outfit! …of the style literally every girl in my youth group but me was wearing to Christmas mass that winter. Too many associations. :P

god, EVERY YEAR one of the local churches puts up a big sign that says “HE IS RISEN”, and EVERY YEAR whenever I see it I just think “OH HE IS, IS HE??? WELL IF HE IS RISEN THEN HE WILL NOT BE ALLOWED AT MY SEDER, LEAVENED MESSIAHS ARE NOT KOSHER FOR PASSOVER!!!”

I also post about this on my blog every year but

that’s okay

because

IT’S OBJECTIVELY HILARIOUS

YEAR

This quiet monument, unveiled in France tomorrow at Hill 70 by Canada’s Governor General, to help us all remember who we are. An article worth reading:

[I feel like mirror universe Julian Bashir is the most wasted opportunity in all of DS9. Because of how Terrans are treated in that timeline, it’s unlikely that Bashir would have been genetically altered. If he was, it was likely under the command of the Alliance. The writers really could have played on the idea of who Jules Bashir would have been or what genetic engineering had become in the mirror universe. Instead, they opted for a dark/bitter Julian. It’s really a shame. ]

Colgate Kids strawberry toothpaste: a reasonably strawberry-ish shade of red, tastes like Vaguely Fruity Artificial Flavouring. (If you’ve ever had Hawaiian Punch, it’s kind of like that.)

Colgate Kids watermelon toothpaste: fucking turquoise, tastes unnervingly like watermelon. (Brain: “This has no juice, but it tastes like watermelon. Does not compute.”)

A bit of a shame they can’t get both things right at once, but hey, both of them are actually tolerable to use, unlike other mainstream toothpastes. A few years ago, somebody finally decided to fill the market niche for “people who can’t stand Painfully Cold Mint or Sickeningly Sweet Bubblegum, but want fluoridated toothpaste”. I had to make do with organic, non-fluoridated toothpaste for my entire childhood, sometimes mail-ordering it or switching between brands because the local grocery and department stores could never decide whether they were going to carry the stuff or not. It’s nice to finally have reliable, fluoridated toothpaste.

Details: I, the OP, Justice_Turtle aka DetectiveKraken, have been unable to work for a few months due to mental health issues. My newest meds seem to be helping, and I’m applying for jobs, but I’m going to get evicted if I can’t raise ~$800 by April 10, 2017.

Therefore, I’m selling my American Girl dolls and collectibles at deeply discounted prices, for the next few days only. Check my #agemergencysale tag for individual items as I put them up, and contact or paypal me at detectivekraken AT gmail DOT com with questions, offers, and purchases!

Please do feel free to share this post around! :D #agig #altagig #americangirldoll #americangirl #kayaatonmy #felicitymerriman #jessmcconnell

Found this in the pet food aisle at HEB today. I did not buy it. I texted one of my best friends, who immediately speculated it was only a matter of time until a person decided to eat this. 

How long until we see salmon ketchup and turkey mustard on some menu at a nice restaurant here in Austin? 

THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE A CONDIMENT ACCIDENT.

Hey @copperbadge I either found you a new mustard or there’s someone in the Foodie!verse having apoplexy.

I can’t comment other than to say that Bucky and I had the same reaction, to wit: “I’d eat Turkey Mustard.”

:D 

I mean, not THAT turkey mustard, but a mustard made with turkey stock as part of its blending liquid, sure. In fact I should try that out when I get home, I bet it adds a nice umami kick to the mustard. 

I’m not a big fan of fish flavor (I don’t eat cooked fish except for smoked, the cooking intensifies the flavor too much for me) but Steve would be willing to give salmon ketchup a fair shake, and Sam would probably be willing to test it as a tater tot sauce. 

@tkingfisher @ksonney FOR SCIENCE? :D

I hate the internet. I hate how this poem doesn’t need to be finished but it has 13.9k retweets and 21.1k likes. Everyone knows how this poem ends and I hate it

Violets are Blue

Michael Jackson sang Thriller

tumblr_inline_ont430etsc1tu6wix_400

😂😂😂😂😂😂

…can someone please explain these to me?

the punchlines are “george bush did 9/11” and “ted cruz is the zodiac killer”

…wait, I thought the first one was something along the lines of “take your dick out for 9/11“. Why mention Harambe otherwise?

(Michael Jackson is probably irrelevant, just an excuse to put “thriller” in, but so many entities could be described as “in heaven” that I figured there must be some reason to choose Harambe specifically.)

—

I actually had to infer that the second picture was of Ted Cruz:

“What rhymes with ‘thriller’? Killer–ah, this is a Zodiac Killer joke, which means that must be Ted Cruz.”

The political news I get is so overwhelmingly text-based that even if I weren’t faceblind, I probably still wouldn’t know Ted Cruz on sight.
