One of my very favorite things is having a nice meal on my own, and WaPo food critic Tom Sietsema gave a perfect reply that’s nearly just what I say to people who want to do this but feel nervous and learned myself from serving happy solo diners: be in good spirits and your energy will be matched. And know if you haven’t waited tables that a pleasant solo diner is a treat to serve - you only have to make one person happy, and they aren’t trying to impress anyone, it’s perfect :)

I have a very dear very beloved very long term friend who lives far away and we text every day, and recently he has claimed he is on an unbelievably extravagant work trip, has been reporting to me incredible daily activities for days on end, but keeps sending me pictures I can reverse search on Google Images that do not match e.g. the current weather and I am genuinely at a loss for how or whether to ask "sweetie I love you but why are you doing this"

after discontinuing its use in 2019 C.E. because it was more convenient for me to blame it for my very unhealthy liver panels than the absolutely appalling amounts of whiskey I was dumping down my gullet, I communicated to my primary care physician today, some four years later, that I am now interested in resuming the pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) protocol because I am becoming dimly aware that it might be possible that I might potentially maybe be up for doing a sex act with another human

Bought a leather harness for the first time online... It's adjustable but the size is still larger than I needed so I'm staring at these excess straps and trying to convince myself it's not too bad looking 😐

The Virgin Washington DC Metrorail Enjoyer: plenty of time to consider the masterful brutalist design of the station while descending four consecutive escalators and waiting 16 minutes for a Red Line-Shady Grove space capsule

The Chad SEPTA Subway Rider: catapults directly from the sidewalk into a Broad Street Line garbage can that nonetheless never gets stuck on shit and people start yelling if it takes more than 2 minutes 30 seconds for one to follow a departing train
