I got a "cheesesteak" in Syracuse that was steak-ums & Kraft singles on a New England hot dog roll. I wanted to spaz when I got it

It’s so fucked up that this is the new “why helicopter?”

Remember when the gas storage field exploded in south Philly and released poisonous gas that only by the grace of god was blown out over the Atlantic. We were one stagnant day away from half of south Philly being seriously ill or dead

Tempera paint! Exact same thought occurred to me.

Watching the French fight for two years of retirement (as they should) makes me sad because we barely lift a finger in this country as capital strips our environment and our social welfare system

12,000 gallons is a drop in the bucket. That can’t be it.

There’s also a polish restaurant hall called mama masuka. Definitely recommend. It’s near passyunk ave in London.

Was wondering if it was just imagining that. Spells kinda ozone-y.

I was trying to put my finger on what the odor reminded me of earlier this afternoon— knew it was some like hyper specific scent memory, but couldn’t place it. Been driving me crazy (though better to focus on that than think too much about how our brain cells are doing after marinating in this all day).

Your comment finally brought it to the surface for me: the utility sink in my middle school art classroom. Base notes of knockoff Crayola tempera and acrylic paint— the water-based, washable kinds that come in bulk bottles— spattered in various stages from watered down to wet to drying to caked on. Heart notes of hard water, cheap brown paper hand towels, and damp paintbrushes that have never once gotten the chance to fully dry. Top notes of heated plastic (from rinsing the plastic cups we used to mix paint with that scalding-ass water) and that kinda pearlescent pink antibacterial liquid hand soap. Somewhere, a trace of Elmer’s glue and a whiff of chlorine.

My SO said it reminded him of opening a box full of inflatable beach balls.

i dont think so. i smelled it last night, though not as strong. i think its the inversion thing.

Edit: how’d I get a downvote for saying I smelled it on Friday?

I was surprised to find some Nando's sauces for sale at Lidl (in NJ) recently! I don't know if it was a rotating special buy like the Greek foods are, or if they were one time only.

They are really good sauces.

Can you smell that smell

I can smell it in Broomall

Oh this is good to know. I roll deep with 4 Philly daughters. Should we do 4 singles or one family one? What’s the vibe of the wall?

You're absolutely right

Excuse me, but are you kidding me? Dude, I LOVE drag shows specifically because of how raunchy and ridiculous they are. I, a straight dude, once walked into an impromptu drag show and within five minutes I was brought on stage to deep throat a fucking pretzel and twerk with a bunch of women. I volunteered for it. I did that shit with an open mind and an open throat and a genuine love of pretzels.

It was a hilariously good time and I had a blast.

If the drag shows you're going to AREN'T rowdy and ridiculous and inherently charged with latent sexual energy, you're going to the wrong drag shows, bud.

But that's my thing about this. It's so fucking weird to me that we're at a point where we're using children as the battleground. Why? Why sexualize ANYTHING for children, or politicize anything to their detriment? This is so wildly immature.

Drag shows are fun and beautiful and ridiculous, and they definitely should not be attended by children. The same way nobody under the age of 18 should be allowed in a hooters.

And far as outfits go, as a rational, normal adult, think about what drag outfits look like. If it was a cis white woman walking into a PTA meeting or coming onto a school bus as a school trip aid dressed in what your brain immediately thinks of as a typical drag outfit, you'd legit be like, "What the fuck, Jen? Go home with that shit..."

Not because Jen's not allowed to dress that way, but because these are fucking kids and you should have some common sense, you kook.

The conversation should be that simple, but we're so passed that. We're all sticking to our rigid beliefs and escalating these situations into something that makes literally no sense because we're so committed to being right about everything.

People on the left advocating for drag shows in elementary school are insane. People on the right advocating to ban LGBT events and drag shows statewide (like in TN), are insane. These are all actions, reactions, and escalations.

This consistent "fuck around and find out" loop we're all antagonistically living in has got to stop, because shit like this will KEEP HAPPENING in republican controlled states.

They'll keep saying shit like, "Oh, so you want drag performers reading to OUR CHILDREN? Okay, well, now we're going to do everything we can to make sure drag performers can't even perform in adult venues in OUR STATE."

Like, what did everyone expect was going to happen? That a bunch of weirdo republicans would take that sitting down?

It's like poking a bear with a stick and then complaining when the bear rips your guts out. Be smarter, more tactful, and more strategic. Especially in places where you're behind enemy lines LIKE THE FUCKING BIBLE BELT.

I am beyond frustrated here.

Who farted?

We’ve needed to make like the French for a minute now lol
