God my favorite thing about the ancient world though is that they were so dedicated to making things pretty just like us. I love seeing the marginalia in bibles and the pictures they commissioned and the letters they spent extra on. I love that we wrote poetry two thousand years ago and put on theater and made art. I love that pots and bottles and tombs and beds and cribs have designs on them I love the graffiti on ancient walls I love the fact that they danced and sung and made art just like we do!!!! We are the same we are the same we are the same
I hate that thing some people do where it's like. "I left my wallet on the table to see if you'd say anything" or "I wanted to see if you'd wash the car if I stopped doing it"
Cause like
I dont know about anyone else
But I am perpetually hovering three inches above the strong subconscious belief that everyone knows what they're doing at all times except me, so if you change your normal patterns and I notice, then I will assume it is an intentional choice with a thought-out plan behind it and I will avoid interfering
And if I don't notice, because I won't, because why would I, because not much bothers me and if you don't say anything to indicate you are bothered then how would I KNOW
There’s certain hobbies and interests that aren’t inherently conservative or regressive but do attract a lot of people who are those things or worse and when you’re a progressive person involved in those hobbies hearing that someone else is interested in your hobby usually has to involve some “But are you normal about it?” conversations before you get too excited
Bad RPG idea:
Players play a round or two of exquisite corpse. Everyone has to pick one of the drawings. That’s their character now.
The 18th (?!?!?) annual Project for Awesome starts today at noon eastern time, but we've already raised over $500,000 for charities like Save the Children and Partners in Health.
You can get some amazing perks this year, including the first few chapters of my next book, the annual podcast I make with Sarah where we read emails we wrote each other before we started dating, and lots more. Check it all out at http://projectforawesome.com/donate.

Also thinking about how at my first day of public school my mom packed me a boiled egg because I was in my boiled egg phase (ate one boiled egg a day for like four months) and she forgot which eggs were boiled and which were not. So when I opened my lunch the first day of school it was covered in egg. And I started crying and the aide for the autistic kid in class had to take me to the lunch line and buy me a lunch that was not a raw egg. And I was very dismayed because public school was already ruining my routine and now I didn’t even get my daily egg. And the aide was very nice and gave me tater tots which were not an egg but it was exciting to buy lunch.
