Ever since I saw that interview of Colman Domingo talking about how he found his husband through the missed connections part of Craigslist it‘s become my nightly newsletter. The concept alone is so inviting. The notion of someone in passing catching your eye or perhaps a fleeting encounter w/ a stranger, only to realize later that you didn’t catch their name. So, you put out a post with no guarantee they’ll see it but you hope. Unaware if they even know what craigslist is, still you hope. The same way you hope that if they do, they reply. It’s beautiful really. To live is to interact. To hope is to know you‘re alive.

On the flip side there’s so many DLs scopin’ the scenery out 💀 “53 m looking for m partner“. Craigslist has never been sweet but the cute ones are nice

i love to cruise the missed connections section of craigslist for various major cities. they can be funny or creepy or sad or sweet. fun to think about how big the world is

old men named things like “Larry“ and “Bob” will respond with either confusion or desire, it feels more mystical than most religion, and is great fun. write to a friend, or someone you lost, or someone you want

yes it’s mostly just horrible creeps and incels but like i love reading them some of them are quite endearing. we all just want a little connection

Yea I know this app is built on likes and recs so I'm recommending mushroom hate. Vouch for them all you'd like but they are abysmal.Taste, texture, and visual appeal are all awful. I'd like to add that I usually try to revise my opinion on mushrooms once a year by trying them and all times they are just as bad. #neverdoubtyouself #hater Once my mom brought me a “burger” for lunch and failed to mention it was a mushroom burger. Without a second thought I bit into said burger and immediately knew what poison sat in my hands. I shudder at the memory.

Went to the dealership and waited for them to replace my car battery. Found a comfy seat only to sit and find that my phone was on it‘s deathbed at 6%. Zoned out some, looked at my hands thoroughly because I couldn‘t remember the last time I did, I have cute nail beds. To keep from dozing off I began rummaging through my unnecessarily large tote bag. •watched a bit of the local news and saw someone died over a catalytic converter (rip) • counted the amount of pills left in the aleve bottle that opened in my bag (73) •went through little paper memories I keep in my wallet (movie tickets- parking passes- old hotel key cards etc) •put my fallen lippies back in the pouch •decided to count all the letters on an old receipt and then all the vowels and then all the numbers (315 letters and 119 vowels and I forgot how many #s )
