I've never liked any of the H@rry P0tter movies. Even before the author made being a miserable terf their whole identity. I'm not quite sure why. Liked the books, but always cringed at the films.

REGINALD: Why's it famous? What's it do? (Beartato thinks.) BEARTATO: I don't know. REGINALD (to nearly museum employee): Excuse me! Sir? What's it do? EMPLOYEE: You're the first person to ask! Watch this! (The employee yanks a pull-string. Mona Lisa's eyes spin around and her mouth opens like a puppet) MONA LISA: Honk honk! Honk honk! (Everyone is delighted. This is true art.)

We have something similar in Edmonton, except with yoyoing temperatures. We'll have one week of melting, then a blizzard or a -30 deep freeze that puts us back where we started until about mid April.

Meanwhile our west coast relatives are enjoying the cherry blossoms and gardening.

I love a wood ceiling

Some CARROTS and BITS OF BROCCOLI are floating around and a STOCK CUBE and a BAY LEAF have just been dropped in.]  1 STOCK CUBE: Alright lads - this is Bay Leaf. My colleague from the spice rack. 2 BROCCOLI: Hi Bay Leaf BAY LEAF: Yuh yuh hi 3 CARROTS: You up for getting proper blended with us later, Bay Leaf? BAY LEAF: Nuh mate, getting scooped out before soup stage. 4 CARROTS: Oh! So… you’re not being eaten then? BAY LEAF: Eaten! Haha 5 BAY LEAF: Not allowed mate. I’m afraid I’m a lil’ bit *toooo intense*... 6 BAY LEAF: Just here for the flavour hit. Special forces, y’know. That’s why there’s just one of me. 7 BAY LEAF: Over-deploy and you’d have this whole soup stiiinking of bay leaf… 8 BAY LEAF: You might wanna stand back actually. This place is about to get preeetty bay leafy... 9 [Silent pause] 10 CARROTS: Are you doing something BAY LEAF: Sure am mate. 11 BAY LEAF: Suuuuure am. 12 BAY LEAF [Getting scooped out by chef’s spoon]: You need training to perceive it.

I didn't realize what a thing it was until I started getting rejected as a blood donor for low hemoglobin. Supliments really should be free when they make this much of a difference.

West coast winters. Damp clinging cold that makes warming back up take longer but also feel extra satisfying.

Notes of shale beach, stanfield sweaters, old sea charts, and flannel bedsheets.

“This party’s a bit shit, isn’t it?”: the sexiest things you can say to your autistic partner, ranked If you’ve got an autistic partner, chances are their raw sexual magnetism makes it hard to think about anything other than jumping their vitamin-D-deficient bones. But if you’re looking to spice…

Here are the five hottest things you can say to your autistic partner, in order of “lemon and herb” to “this Nando’s has caught fire”.

I had to write my own mother a formal letter of apology for my behavior in class.

My I had my dad for several science classes in high school and it was fine, though. We were both nerds who sensed the awkwardness of the situation and mostly just let eachother get on with it without interacting.

Haha both my parents were teachers.

My mother subbed at the k-6 grade level and if she ever had my class she held me to way stricter behaviour standards as her child than my regular teachers.

As an undiagnosed adhd kid who already struggled to sit still and stay on task, it was a nightmare.
