- Is it okay if I dismiss the outrage entirely as performative? Her face looks perfect for modelling. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 3, 13:13 8

      - *snort* - Pippy aka Desparada Dec 3, 14:14
    - So it's ... not performative? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 3, 13:34 4

LDB Day 6: Christmas music is now playing in the lobby at work -- nm - oblique Dec 3, 11:22 20

        Painting isn't fun but I love switching things up every few years. We just did the kitchen blue and yellow. The bathroom is a light green and white. - Krusty Dec 3, 12:16

    - They had some chicken wrap. It was meh like all of their food except the chorizo and egg wrap -- nm - ty97 Dec 3, 11:49 2
