I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Where'd everybody go?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Melbourne, thanks for asking!

Ok, then thoughts on the following letter sent to a homemaker's advice column:

"How do you remove an awful smell out of your microwave? I found a dead starfish on the beach and brought it home. It was very wet and I thought placing it in the microwave for a few minutes would help. The starfish exploded on my second attempt to dry it."

The question is, should all starfish be required to carry a warning label, "DO NOT HEAT IN MICROWAVE"?

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

The warning labels would only be necessary in the litigious US.

Though now I'm wondering why it exploded? Is it because of the exoskeleton? like the shell on an egg if you microwave it?

Maybe there should be warning stickers on people like that. " I am too stupid to operate simple kitchen appliances"

The status is NOT quo.

So that's what a wildfire smells like.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Welcome to LA!

I could smell the Simi wildfires from Santa Monica. These events are shared. Luckily I can't smell this one. Which means it's not huge, hopefully. Or maybe it's just a wind thing.
