the lady waiting to fill her prescription: “yeah so my son got a job as a surgeon’s assistant. but the surgeon he worked with is insane! i mean, my son said he’d set a timer during each surgery and try to beat his fastest time! apparently his fastest was fifteen minutes, isn’t that crazy?”
me and my coworker, just trying to count her pills:

“Oh shit,” Joly said, sounding mildly concerned as he scrolled through his phone. “Something’s going on with Twitter.”
“Given the way the year of our Lord 2023 has gone thus far, I’m going to need you to be a little more specific,” Bossuet said.
Joly turned his phone so Bossuet could read. “They’re limiting how many tweets unverified people can read.”
Bossuet squinted at the phone screen. “Is Elon really that hard up for cash?”
“I mean, probably,” Joly said with a shrug. “Midlife crises are not cheap from my understanding.”
Bossuet laughed. “Ok, so we all switch to a different app for a hot second,” he said. “It’s not the end of the world.”
“It’s not the end of your world,” Joly corrected.
Bossuet scowled at him. “Pretty sure it’s not the end of anyone’s—”
Joly cut him off with a single raised eyebrow. “Grantaire,” he said, a little grimly. “It’s the end of Grantaire’s world as he knows it.”
Bossuet’s brow furrowed. “I don’t think Grantaire even has a Twitter account.”
“He doesn’t,” Joly said. “Enjolras does.”
“Oh.” Bossuet was silent for a moment before his eyes widened. “Oh. Oh no.”
Joly nodded. “Pretty much,” he said, sounding equal parts grim and self-satisfied that he’d understood the implications of this latest development first.
“Do you think we should warn him?” Bossuet asked.
“Should?” Joly said thoughtfully. “I mean, probably. We are his friends, after all, and his boyfriend is about to lose his fucking mind at his ragescrolling being potentially indefinitely interrupted.”
Bossuet nodded slowly. “But we’re definitely not going to warn him, right?”
Joly grinned. “Of course not,” he said. “Where would be the fun in that?”

another thing that’s really shitty about the recent uptick of people who call themselves allies still refusing to stop using “dude” and similar for trans women is that i thought we all agreed ages ago that we shouldn’t call people things they don’t want to be called even if it IS something you’d consider inoffensive to call a person under most circumstances. like seriously how hard is it to respond to “please don’t call me that” with “sorry, i won’t do it again” even and ESPECIALLY if you didn’t mean any harm when you first said it. if it’s a habit that’s hard to break just try your best and take a moment to apologize briefly when you fuck up, exactly like we’re always telling cis people to do with pronouns they’re not used to using. it’s really not that hard

no but it’s about her previous selves asking her what she did with this life and amalia responding, “i told someone our name” could write a literal essay about how zephyr has always tried not to get attached or make any real connections with anyone because she knows all too well how easily people go and how much it hurts but somehow 2 lives later, and hundred lives lost around her, she finds herself making the truest (no pun intended) relationship she’s ever had in all her lives.

Whoever said there’s no such thing as a stupid question was so wrong bc if my life has taught me anything it’s that there are a LOT of stupid ass questions and most of them are asked by stupid ass people. To be very clear this is not a measure of intelligence it is a measure of how able a person is to shut up and fucking listen when someone is answering your stupid question.
