They say "write what you know", so I'm horribly tempted to write something fictional based on that time in my early 20s when I unwittingly joined a cult for like 5 meetups and then promptly stopped going, because I've got social anxiety.

There's a certain Swedish VPN provider that allows you to mail them a note with some numbers and a crisp five euro bill to pay for your monthly subscription.

I totally don't know why, but it came to my mind today. Completely unrelated to any events currently happening.

Our fires are burning bright and there's witches in the wind. Spring has arrived in the North. Tonight we soar.

Mad props for making Annatar the ideal image of an abusive boyfriend though.

"In this 3 hour video-essay I will describe exactly how Amazon applied the infamous shadow daddy romantasy formula to Sauron in Rings of Power."

D&D players when I have the roleplayest quest ever planned out: *murder-hobo intensifies*
Same players when faced with a straighforwad hack&slash job: "We want to turn Evil McEvilFace and his minions to the side of... Not evil? Through the magic of friendship. And +15 persuasion."

Chaos goblins.

Coincidentally, an acquaintance did something similar 20ish years ago with Star Wars Expanded Universe (now Legacies) books. Maxed out all the luggage he could and brought home more than 100 books. Wasn't satisfied and did it again.

20+ euros on shipping isn't unheard of, but a round trip to London is like 100 euros with luggage.

Looking at how much it's costing me to ship books from UK, it might be more financially feasible to find a friend in UK, ship everything to them and then once every six months or so just fly over to visit them, take them out for a pint or six and then smuggle the books back home.

Dain has been the biggest emotional roller-coaster for me. From "I hope he dies in a ditch" in the middle of book 1 to "I hope he finds peace and happiness with someone (*cough* Sloane *cough*) and if anything bad happens to him, I will personally burn the books" in the end of book 3.

Having lived with a metric boatload of pain for several months now, I've gained a new appreciation for the ways some authors depict it in media.

I'm all for rising, gritting your teeth and never giving up, but there has to be that little place where you can just crumple up and cry your guts out.

Her best kept secret is definitely her skincare regiment.

a baby is laying on the ground with the words `` not jealous at all '' written next to it . ALT: a baby is laying on the ground with the words `` not jealous at all '' written next to it .

Truly happy for her.

Is he a widower? Asking for a friend.

Tired: Getting an MRI.
Inspired: Attending a private and intimate concert by the blessed machine.

Great news in a bleak moment.

If you add a filter, you can call it ✨Ski Lodge Chic ✨ or something.

That's so interesting, because we have "faktūrrēķins" as commercial invoice in Latvian ("rēķins" is a catch-all term for all invoices and nowadays we use it interchangably with receipts).

Any difference between "faktura" and "rachunek" (which also figured in my emails)?

Ordered some low-carb snacks from a polish shop and apparently invoice in Polish is "paragon". Absolutely poetic.

When we'll finally be able buy our own place, I just need three very simple things - large plant-friendly windows, floor-to-ceiling bookshelves everywhere and tall people kitchen countertop height.

Ikea Norden. We don't have a lot of space, so we store it against the wall and pop up one side when doing puzzles or 2 people board games and put it in the middle of the room and pop up both sides when it's 4-6 people.

Starts with a "why did you add so much sugar, you half-wit?!?" that turns into a loving "of course it tastes amazing, my sweet dummy".

Gochi-Show! for Girls -How To Learn Japanese Cooking Game- on Steam Japanese Cooking Everywhere.

I just remembered that Gochi Show exists.

Hot sauce Himbo. Baked oatmeal tsundere. Stuffed mushroom dandere. The possibilities are endless.

The stew guy is the secret route.

Maybe I need to make a small otome game where each LI teaches MC how to make one simple recipe.

If it's between centering a div and frantically editing a docker-compose file in vim, I know which one I'm picking.

If you get the chance, I really, really, *really* recommend seeing Flow. It's truly wonderful and will punch you straight in the feels.

Budgetbytes single-handedly got us through the awkward "just moved in with my SO, but can only make baked chicken and salad" phase with my now-husband 10+ years ago. It was the step-by-step pictures that reduced the "what if I buy all these ingredients and it comes out horrible" anxiety.

But what other way there is to channel your inner early 2000s vampire?
