I frequently swap c's and s's when typing--something about their sometimes-shared sound--but I would never misspell those words when writing by hand.

Brownies in a pan with three metal projections in the pan that creates the appearance of a maze and gives most pieces two edges.
I have something a bit like this, because our household fights over the edges.
It's only one block from my house to amazing street tacos.
I'd post pictures, but our plates are already empty.
I came across someone local who I am pretty sure is part of your loose collective and was amused at seeing it "in the wild."
A black and white cat sitting with her back legs in front of her, grooming her stomach. She balances herself with her front paws, one next to her, the other in front of her. She is sitting on a crocheted blanket in dark blue, dark green, and cream.
Cats are such majestic creatures.
Voicemail transcription: This is a Down Virgin message from this canses reading over fixation and thurs day Tonight order look of fire keeps to expective a dangers." It's actually a message that starts exactly the same as the next image (This is a nonemergency message from the Northeast Kansas...") for a burn ban the next two days from the local fire chief, due to increased fire danger.

I believe that AI "enhancement" has hit my voicemail transcription, and the results are... less than helpful.
Just because I have said, "Can you believe that W. looks presidential in comparison?"--it doesn't retroactively make him good.
Side of a white box with a sticker that says, "I hope this makes you smile!" The word "smile" is in gold cursive. There is a pastel rainbow with a heart and a couple other small hearts and a smiley face.
The contents of the box: a coffee mug clicker with "latte art" on top, a holographic clicker that says "Nope, absolutely the fuck not," 5 small whistles on keychains in a range of colors, and a mini dragon and turtle. The holographic clicker is a medium blue and has an effect that the camera captures as multi-colored stars where the light catches it.
Got my order from @mostlybree.kitrocha.com and it definitely made me smile!
Whistles for my family, coffee clicker for me, other clicker for my wife.
Close up of a tuxedo cat's face looking at the camera. Black covers her eyes and nose and there is a black smudge on her chin. Her front paws and chest are white. She has green eyes. Her right paw is on a pair of safety scissors and there is crochet work in a golden yarn in the foreground.
Calliope helps me with my crocheting. She is most often Calli, despite not being a calico.

When I taught Latin, the German teacher and I bonded over having a certain kind of student that did not take French or Spanish.
I'm curious how often they thought about Rome.
I had that reaction too, though I am sure they wouldn't/couldn't see the insult in that.
The quoted post is something else too. I sincerely doubt that I am alone in the Venn diagram of Bridgerton/Heated Rivalry vs Homeric epic fandom.
(Never mind unpacking who is indicated by "normies.")
The phrase "the average billionaire" should not exist. No other argument or special pleading needed.
Busy Sunday. Groceries, hardware store, art shop, then hung out with a few hundred friends. Now defrosting with coffee and cats. #LFK
Knew it was coming, but still shaken to see it stated so plainly.
The first dog I had as an adult was double-coated, and she would stand, facing into the wind, loving every moment of the cold.
A fuzzy closeup of a white standard poodle whose hair has been blown dry, turning him into a giant puffball. He is looking at the camera with his mouth slightly open.
No dog currently and no pictures of him in the snow, but I will always remember the time he puffed up from the groomer's blow dryer and looked more polar bear than poodle.
He loved running around in the snow!
Front half of a black and white cat on a blue and white blanket, next to a blue yarn bowl with variegated gold yarn.
I got up to get into pajamas and make some tea, but she has reclaimed her spot.
The world is on fire and everything is hard. But in this moment, a warm cat sleeps in my lap, gently snoring, and I have a tiny corner of peace.
Dude is not pulling any punches there.
While teaching online in 2020, there was so much discussion about how to do things differently, to use the opportunity to make big, structural changes. Then we went back into buildings and most went immediately back to their old ways.
It's still a disorienting feeling.
I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc...
Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.
Black and white cat in the foreground staring at the camera. White woman with brown hair pulled back and glasses on top of her head in the background. There is also an Effin' Birds mug in the background that says "Can you not."
Similar vibe here.
"Oh my gosh, it was so nice to see you! Have a lovely day, fuck ICE!"
"Oh you too hon! Stay safe in that traffic, fuck ICE!'

When I told student I had started the series, he rated the 3rd episode as his least favorite, but Scott and Kip just about did me in.
I tell people that what I crochet contains a non-zero amount of cat hair.
"Cat hair free"? I don't understand that phrase.
(It is not that I doubted y'all. Rather, this student had pinged for me, and I saw him bringing it up with me as a sign that he thinks of me as a safe person.)
