This is the place where I don't post about the Bad Stuff (mostly.) It's like an Oasis. (She/her.) Currently watching: No Gain No Love

Time for some mini reviews!

No Gain No Love: Started out strong, lost its way halfway through, ended weirdly abruptly.

Spice Up Our Love: Super fun and totally worth two eps.

1% of Something : Really cute, if you ignore a lot of the male lead's red flag behavior for the first 8 episodes.

The Potato Lab was the most fun I've had watching a show in a looong time. Loved it.

Perimenopause means being interested in a vibration plate because "it may increase bone density".

OH I KNOW

Mingi's aura should be studied.

And I'm not even Atiny, I'm more of a Stay.

I know every picture I post of Glyph makes him look like he is permanently cranky and sick of my shit, but when it's claw clipping day he sits in my lap like a little person and purrs until it's done, which is pretty great.

Finished Spring Fever! Cute, unhinged, love him. The only problem was that I was unconvinced by the chemistry; the kisses especially were flat and felt awkward to me.

Got the dog a new kind of food and she's obsessed with it. She just dragged me out of bed at 3 am to check and make sure the cat isn't eating it.

Spring Fever is the silliest, goofiest, lightest thing I've seen in a long time. It's so fun and sweet.

I'm just going to sideload them onto my kindle, unless something has changed and you can't do that anymore.

Sometimes I get very sad that many of the connections from the bird site didn't find their way here, so I lost touch with people I liked to talk to.

Briefly considered trying mystery shopping, but realized that there would be one huge problem with that, which is that I ain't no snitch.

A plate of food sits on a dark brown table. The plate has a bowl of blueberries in the middle. There are two small bowls at the top of the plate, one with maraschino cherries and one with olives. There is a small pile of potato chips to the right, and a stack of white cheese and rolls of plant based deli meat on the left. Next to the plate on the right is a bottle of jasmine green tea and a can of cherry float coke zero. On the left you can see a bottle of water, a thermometer on top of a pink glasses case, and part of a television remote.

I'm fighting some illness, so I decided to spend the day in bed watching TV. This called for a snack tray.

Two things: that is tofurkey, not meat; and overbed hospital style tables are underrated and every household should have one.

I've reread this like 3 times. Freed herself from slavery by running away, *went back a week later bc the slaver was talking shit, set his house on fire, and then escaped again is absolutely incredible queen shit

This morning I asked myself "why are you trying to be friends with people who don't like you" and that's how you know therapy works.

Discworld QOTD, from The Last Continent

β€œWhy?”

Discworld QOTD, from Thud!

β€œBeating people up in little rooms…he knew where that led. And if you did it for a good reason, you’d do it for a bad one. You couldn’t say β€˜We’re the good guys’ and do bad-guy things.”

Have you considered a weighted eeyore. New Eeyore is pretty comfy.

It's because people are always, and sometimes unfortunately, just people.

I am seriously considering buying another one just in case in case. Current Eeyore has gotten pretty flat, to be honest.

I just know he practiced that in front of the mirror.

In my defense, it was on sale for $15 down from $40. Which means Disney is probably discontinuing it. And at this point anything that soothes my anxiety even a little is a necessity, not a luxury.
