From a distance

Anything under six feet is overrated.

Dating during a pandemic seems a bit complicated. Who’s behind that mask? How do you meet someone from six feet away?

Clockie’s new dating app to the rescue! Go on virtual dates & take things to the next level from the comfort of home. There’s no reason to ever meet in person – just get someone locked down before the next lockdown!

Her next business venture will be an app to help you plan the perfect quarantine nuptials. If the science works out, she’ll figure out how to get you pregnant virtually as well. (That last part seems like the plot of a horror movie or the next bestselling dystopian novel. Or maybe just the plot of your next nightmare.)

Snow Blight

Bristle while you work

Fun fact: if you would make a good mother, you must become one. Not interested? Doesn’t matter!

Seriously though, I’ve never quite understood this reaction when a woman says she’s not planning to have children. Why does it matter if you think someone would make a “good” mother, whatever that means? I’m good at all sorts of things that I don’t intend to devote my life to… and no one suggests that I should.

Maybe Snow White hated taking care of those ungrateful little men and decided that parenting wasn’t for her. Maybe she’s still trying to decide if she should really spend her life with some rando prince that kissed her while she was sleeping. Maybe she’s just really focused on overcoming her (justified) fear of apples. Let her live, man.

O miss this tree

Is that a pear tree?

I hope that the four birds in the song were cooler than these dudes. Seriously though, has catcalling ever worked? Is this someone’s meet cute story? I need to know.

Also, I’m not sure why this is my contribution to the twelve days of Christmas, but I’m not sure it’s any worse than the original. I have no desire to take care of that much poultry, not to mention the drummers, maids, and pipers. I’ll take the rings though.
