apologies for bringing up a pretty old fic of yours but I’m about halfway through (chapter 8) actor of work and I can’t help but think of how good of a fit “new york’s not my home” by jim croce is

No need to apologize because I had no idea about this song, and it's TRULY perfect for that fic! Thank you so much for letting me know about it, I'm adding it to my Pucci playlist!

saddest thing that can happen is a cat so delicately and cozy putting their small apple head on your leg like a pillow to sleep while fully unaware that in like five minutes you're going to get up to go eat because they don't know human language or how time works

Pangaea was wasted on the dinosaurs. Imagine the railway network.

Lots of people are huge fans of monorails. And why wouldn't they be? They get rid of all the boring redundancy that you usually see on trains, in favour of a devil-may-care approach to the one-rail life. Many of us will never live in a town that has been blessed by the monorail gods, but there is still hope.

Near where I live, you have to drive over some water to get to another town. This is inconvenient, because cars conventionally cannot drive over or through water. To solve this, the ancient forebears of civilization have invented what they call "a ferry."

Usually, a ferry is just some dude's boat, and you want to try very hard not to talk to or even make eye contact with the skipper. Decades of going back and forth between two shores all day long have turned them into warped simulacra of a human being. Even if you have some common interest (like shore birds,) the next thing you know, you will be in their position and their soul freed from that drudgery.

For the purposes of this story, I'll point out that the ferry near me travels on an underwater cable between the two shores. Goes back and forth, pulled by an engine on the opposing shore. Like a... monorail. That's right, Big Boat has been in the pocket of public transit this whole time! Not only did they make a train, they made a special water train just to rub it in about how much cars actually suck.

There is more, too. I've heard stories that every major skyscraper has many small monorails inside them, in the form of "elevators," capable of towing dozens of people per day. I've yet to confirm this personally, due to the restraining order the entire downtown business zone has taken out on me, but rest assured, I'm going to get to the bottom of it. And then the top. Then the bottom again. Top some more, if I have time.

Heterosexual relationship culture is so alien to me and I don’t know if it’s the fact I’m not cishet or the fact I’m autistic but I hear so many things that make me go “Am I insane or are they?”

There’s a lot of hate on widowers and I saw a woman say “You cannot compete with a dead woman.” which is perhaps a reasonable statement to say if he’s constantly comparing you to his dead partner but that wasn’t what the post was about. And I realized “Oh my God, these people genuinely feel like they’re constantly in competition with their spouse’s exes and the ex being dead makes them feel insecure that they cannot best her.”

There’s also been an uptick in the ‘men and women cannot be ‘just’ friends’ rhetoric which I feel like is extremely dangerous and reflects the rise of fascism and sexism. Some of these stories of women feeling threatened by their husband’s female best friend have some merit and others are like “I feel angry that my husband still talks to the girl he grew up next door to and she and her wife are invited to family gatherings and included in family photos sometimes. Am I right to be suspicious?” No. No you’re not. I cannot imagine being you and living with that high level of stress and paranoia and constant torment and jealousy about your husband having a positive relationship with anyone who isn’t you.

Had my suspicions but I have finally confirmed it this morning: The rival Pokémon Go team I have been beefing with, whose gym's total annihilation I have incorporated into my morning routine, is actually a group of local elementary school students

Super weird to have innocuously added a silly personal anecdote to a post you didn't realize was super popular...

Only to have it cross your dash a week later and find out that like 12,000 people think you're lying.
