Last year, I befriended a Catholic seminarian. We've gotten to be pretty decent friends. Seeing as he was staying in town for the summer and I wasn't, I entrusted him with caring for my plant.

He did a wonderful job, but as he was returning my plant to my custody, he explained "I watered her every other day, I gave her new dirt, moved her into the sunshine, prayed the rosary-"

"What?"

He looked at me, confused. "Isn't she a plant you pray with?"

"No," I said slowly. "She's a prayer plant. That's the... colloquial name of the plant."

Upon seeing his stricken face, I realized something went wrong. Turns out, this entire time, he's been including my plant in on his prayers and leaving her near icons.

Listen, totally cool. My plant becoming Catholic is a great deal for her not dying over the summer. But now I must navigate this interfaith household. Keep me in your thoughts.

I am an old bitch - 20/20.

[ao3cassandraic]

What is this nonsense about "nobody has all 20"?!

AbsoLUTEly have all 20. I still do several of these, in fact. State and national unions make me pay per-capita dues for my local by check. I write postcards to voters (it's a good thing to do, USians! lots of places organize efforts!). I also do information rescue from obsolete media, so that covers me easily on cassette, VHS, and floppy-diskette use.

Now, if they'd said "Sony MiniDisc" instead of Walkman, that would probably eliminate a lot of USians my age. (MiniDiscs were big in Japan, didn't quite manage to penetrate the US market. I have rescued audio from them, though!)

19/20.

I don't understand why all of these keep mentioning Blockbuster specifically instead of just saying "rented a video." Blockbuster wasn't everywhere. Lots of other places rented videos, including independent video stores and *grocery stores.*

We borrowed all of our tapes from the grocery store or the local library.

Hello. Since I've seen people submit finished wheels, I thought I'd submit a wheel I came up with. In this case, it's a wheel to tell you something that you can't do for a week.

https://wheelofnames.com/kch-gkt

You can't do this for a week!

How bad is this for you?

Its great! I can live with this

I already don't do this

It'll be annoying but I'll be fine

VERY BAD.

It would seem the grackle becomes much less sinister when it raises its head.
