Today, I have been baptized as an official New Yorker. I woke up. Went to my bathroom. And saw, in my American toilet bowl ..... a drowned rat. ⁱ ᵃᵐ ᵘᵖˢᵉᵗ

I share this because you, too, New Yorker. You should hold this fear — the fear of the drowned rat — in your heart. Let it change you as it has changed me.

I guess if I have to see it, so do you.

Lotta you saying this is a mouse and not a rat and I ask you, “Ok, you wanna deal with it for me since it’s ONLY a mouse and NOT a rat???????”

I did not expect this to blow up and I have nothing to promote. HOWEVER, my boyfriend is my favorite person (even tho he is not here helping me with the rat) and he’s putting on a show next month that will be so funny and nostalgic and you should watch! https://twitter.com/steeezuschrist/status/1287825976353792002?s=21 https://twitter.com/STEEEZUSCHRIST/status/1287825976353792002

I just remembered I have gloves I got for COVID prevention. Should I try and get it out myself or wait for my super at 4?

I present to you, a cinematic masterpiece: Kal Gets The Rat Outta The Toilet

To everyone telling me to go back to where I came from, I was born in Manhattan

You guys have been so sweet to me! Thank you all for the kind words and going on this insane journey with me today. I’m at my boyfriend’s apartment for the night, faaar away from the (former) rat toilet. What a day!

Oh, one last thing: I usually cover weird internet things like this rather than partaking in weird internet things like this SO if you all ever have funny memes, internet culture story ideas, or cool video games you think I should report on, my DMs are open!
