Prairie

Props to all the trans woman I know. I started hormone therapy for perimenopause and my body is used to estrogen and I have been a fucking mess for a week straight good god.

Barbarian this time. I wish to whirlwind and not think

I think it picked up in the campaign where I left off with my first character like four years ago? Looooll

It’s so stupid but also so consistently inconvenient???

HBO absolutely has no idea what to do with me. All it knows is I watched fishing shows and Heated Rivalry.

An absolutely absurd and stupid thing about divorces is splitting digital accounts and losing a 20 year algorithm 🤣🤣🤣

Years later and some them still aren’t straightened out

Went back to Diablo 4, started a new character, thought I was on seasonal campaign. I was not. Spent two days running confused as fuck. Went out and changed some setting. Come back in to Act 7 cutscenes about characters I’ve never heard of. The confusion continues

Embroidered purple cat, devil horns, a baby in a carrier, and a masted ship in a huge wave

An embroidered vessel on fire, the quarantine maritime flag, a fox and a gravestone, a pumpkin, and a papal phamphili dove

Embroidered papal dove, Sierra Leone flag, a stone doorway, and renaissance frame (more detail to come

I decided to do one of those embroidery sweatshirts- each piece is a book I’ve read in 2026. This is only 13 / 22 I’ve read so far, I’m a bit behind bc I fully restarted after three patches. Embroidery on sweatshirt material is a learning curve! Also non fiction is a challenge

American goalies are something else, whether it be soccer or hockey

I feel like I need to to learn cross stitch just so I can make two pillows that say “Reward!” And “Goddamnit Donut”

SeaQuest

It’s in the attainment of so many lessons, friendships, hardships, and joys as we travel to a goal that moves and morphs and shifts as we do. Perfection is a mirage that we dare to dream, and that’s beautiful, but it’s not a verb so it can never be what we *are*.

Perfect isnt a trait, it’s a pursuit of an ideal. It’s realization is in practice, in cultivated wisdom, in fortitude, in grace and rest, it is in radical determination in choice and the power of choosing, and that you are worthy because you are and because you try and because you journey.

Oh hell yessssssss

Their chemistry was spectacular!! It’s the first time I’ve been hype for a second season in a while

Olympic interviewers will really be like “your favorite cat passed when you were nine years old, what do you think your Olympic debut would mean to them?”

The music note dancers were disturbing

We never eat he’s anything in buses I must be too old lol

That statues and music notes dancers were like a melatonin dream.

You guys if I was real high I think these open ceremonies would be terrifying.

We are watching this tomorrow at girls night!

Olympic rooting rules this season are rooting for everyone gay and all Caribbean athletes because why are you doing something so cold, love that for you.

Can’t wait to stare at everyone’s crotch in those air tight costumes and be like bet he got the shot

Well last year I read the Adventures of Amina Al- Sirafi and it was fantastic. I just finished Break Wide the Sea and I liked it well enough that I will read book two but thought it needed a stronger hand editing. Got two more on deck!

Finely breaded and fried catfish filets

Tried a new soul food place entirely off how the catfish looked in the video, and it is not disappointing. It is next level. Time to get weird about Olympics.

I know I said I was sad I haven’t felt the pull towards fantasy in a while but I went to my friends bookstore and

Maritime fantasy is the new BIG thing

And I am so fucking in.

Right 🤣🤣🤣🤣 it’s almost like they trust that the tropes are pervasive enough you’ll get it any ways

Right, I’m sure there are sticklers everywhere but I’ve never seen a conversation like that taking place in horror, romance, or even nonfiction! And it’s like in every SFF thread! It’s weird, the state of the genre is so great now!

Re-experiencing Bink’s wife in Xanth and her menses curse was crushing. Honestly, in no other genre I read outside of SFF do people insist you have to read decades old things to understand the genre. outside of “fan-academia” which is awesome, fun, legit but also not where anyone needs to start

And I will always tailor my rec as specific as possible to the person because Recs aren’t just about what you like, it’s about what they like too, and what you want to share between the two of you!

I rarely make exceptions to the 5 yr rule, they have to absolute gold to squeak by
