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.
