Parasocial trust is precious! I hold on to readers and watchers whose tastes intersect with mine and I’m always thrilled when their recs hit the spot!

I almost quit multiple times in the first episodes but I trusted a few folks who loved it and it was absolutely worth it!

This show is the rare case where I have suggested to people to tough out the first two episodes. I usually say life is too short to suffer for pop art. But by the end of season 1 I was having an absolute ball. Genuinely excited for season 2.

That stinks! And it does influence my buying habits. I don’t pre-order in ebook unless i know i will be reading directly on release day. More often than not I wait for a price drop.

In this case as someone who preordered a signed copy in print for K2, I definitely ran to but it in e now.

an under appreciated aspect of being a children's librarian in 2026: the amount of time we spend sorting through stickers we bought for scavenger hunt prizes because so many of them are wildly inappropriate for kids

Yes! Same as a school librarian!

Yep. It meant a lot to me at the time but I’ve moved on and I’m not here for a return of Whedon.

Sorry I know the world is in a terrible fix but I've been laughing at this for ten minutes now

When Women Initiate Estrogen Therapy Matters | The Menopause Society New large-scale analysis shows potential long-term benefits of initiating hormones during perimenopause

Good people, here's my semi regular reminder that with everything that is ailing us right now, it's vital that most AFAB folks take supplementary estrogen in our 40s and/or at the first sign of perimenopause.

That brain fog we experience isn't just a symptom.

Sewing machine with random scraps in front.

I have a Janome. Feels very solid, easy to use.

Any sewers out there?

What do you think the best sewing machine brand is now?

I owned a Kenmore for decades, and I had a Baby Lock serger.

I'm shopping for both right now. Any help would be appreciated.

Watch the dms!

I’m so sorry. Love to you all.

I was thinking of this and the Trans Continental Pipeline (tcpipeline.org) because of the church that did whistle packing near me that had a sign that said "Trans lives are sacred."

Thank you. Today we are getting a Will signed and hopefully powers done soon.

So much to try to tease out.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you for saying this.

That’s where I’m landing.

Maybe that’s situational or seasonal and an appropriate response but also a sign of depression. I probably shouldn’t keep hoping it’s clears.

also I might need to just admit that all things (global and personal) might have tipped me over to being depressed.
I just can’t picture well how we dial back from disaster on a global scale, I want to picture it but I’m just so pessimistic right now.

I’m tired, trying to be supportive and also not overstep while staying in a cluttered house mid chaotic renovation. Sometimes I feel like I’m doing okay & other points oof. It’s all testing my boundaries a bit.

So this week has been spent traveling unexpectedly to PR to care for my mom who has overextended herself & ended up hospitalized for a double hernia. She avoided emergency surgery but we’ve been trying to wrap things up so she can head back to NY.

As someone who grew up on (white) teen movies, I was struck by how much that Patel scene looked like something straight out of a spec script in the 1980s. The racialized minority over performing nationalism as white frat boys clearly broadcast to everyone but him that he is not really one of them.
