Explaining to my Australian ex that ice cream trucks are in fact real and not made up for television.

For the purposes of this poll, I am referring only to migratory ice cream trucks. Stationary vehicles that serve ice cream are not included. No nuance because I ran out of options.

one went by earlier, got people with bikes that are selling goodies and shaved ice stuff rolling round the neighborhood a lot too, also a guy with that makes big fruit cups weather permitting that's near me, oh and the seasonal vegetable stands were you can get baskets of strawberries and such that are still warm from the sun

One used to come down my street when I was younger, but now another comes down the street behind where I live. It always plays Yankee Doodle.

I miss the ice cream truck. Like. I only bought from it a couple of times. But that was so cool as a kid.

I finished reading the manga recently but this is my favourite panel fs

some fandom disagreements are like "I see your point but I think this other aspect of the narrative is more significant," and some are like "I don't think you can read."

when i was a boy-child i had a friend who was a tomboy and i remember wondering (jealously) why there was no similar word for boy-children who preferred the company of girl-children, who wanted to play as they did, with their songs and their games and their whispered secret languages. there is in fact a word for that, of course, but i don't recall emily ever feeling quite as menaced by "tomboy" as i was by the one they reserved for me

how nice, these days, to happily inhabit that word. to say it warmly, tenderly, teasingly, to my sweethearts, and to laugh as it's whispered in my ear after one of the maudlin declarations of love and devotion that spill so easily from me these days.

it doesn't hurt anymore, not like that. instead, it's a sweet, welcome respite, permission to be free of an obligation that i nearly died trying to fulfill. you don't have to be a man anymore, hard and sharp and mean. faggot, beloved, nobody will ever ask you to do that again, you who never wanted to, who never could. for as long as you live, you will never again have to try and be something you're not. what bliss!

just heard a coworker say "I know this thing wouldn't even work for Jesus" about her printer

heard three people say "amen" in response

oooh rare leap year post, adds to the resale value

ranking the best things I have had heard surgeons say mid-surgery:

  1. "Five second rule!" while scrubbed, after dropping a sterile scalpel on the floor (no they did NOT pick it up again but I swear everyone's buttholes puckered)
  2. (spoken during the closing of a particularly long and difficult case) "Nurse - my tunes." :heavy metal starts blasting:
  3. Gently to a fretful patient, pre-anaesthesia: "It's going to be okay. I promise, I've dealt with worse." As soon as the patient is unconscious: "This is literally the worst thing I've ever seen."
  4. [okay this one was a med student] "Wowwww, that's so gross!!" Reg: ""[xxx], "Please remember that the patient is awake for this procedure." Student to patient: "Oh my god. I am so sorry, that was really unprofessional - " Patient, cheerfully, also engrossed with what's happening inside them on the screen: "Nah - it's, like, super gross, right?"
  5. [another procedure where the patient couldn't be anaesthetised] Patient: *starts singing country roads midway through the procedure* Surgeon: *shrugs and joins in with surprisingly good harmony*
