I saw The Lobster in the theater and wow I did not know that I could be that mad about a movie advertised to me as "quirky comedy"

be the change etc etc

BONUS: new extra strong magnet toy when you're done

I went directly to our local (big chain) pharmacy and they said you don't even need an appt for a measles boost! AND insurance covered it! 🎉

Big piece of teal-colored ice in the shape of a waterballoon

A sunflower-shaped cake pan has been filled with colored water, and the resulting ice shape is so pretty!

A big piece of clear ice shaped like a giant wiggly sperm

Your annual reminder that when it's this cold out, the responsible thing to do is fill water balloons and fancy cake pans with water (& food coloring). The only good ice!!

100% that it's a great tool for "rewrite this Eileen-words explanation to use business-speak instead" and I'm very glad that I don't have to use my human brain to do that, and also,,,,

that movie is PERFECT and I will not hear otherwise

man I wanted myrtlewood stuff SO BAD when I was little and my parents NEVER let me get any! "it's a bay laurel tree; there is one in our yard at home" YES AND????

I read Thunderstruck the week before we went on a random last-minute trip to Cape Code and I SHRIEKED when we passed the spot of the first tower in the country

what

the very same Apple Cinemas that runs the two closest theatres to me in ::checks notes:: small town Maine 🤷‍♀️

this is demented

Not enough people know about Victoria Goddard's Hands of the Emperor?! Is it crazy long, yes. Is it about good people just trying to be decent and support each other and run a good government, yes. SO COZY!!!!

Migraine World Summit - Register Today Watch online March 20-27. The annual Migraine World Summit is the best-kept secret that has made a difference for over 150,000 people. Don’t get left behind. Attend this virtual event from the comfort...

Truly even the specialists are winging it!! 🤷‍♀️

If you have the attention/energy for it, I have enjoyed exploring the talks and resources at migraineworldsummit.com – basically a buncha experts with lots of different angles and topics, aimed at non-specialists.

bodies: WHY!!!!!

(Which is part of why it's important to take medication early in a migraine instead of Toughing It Out – to help prevent said grooves from forming.)

My neurologist explained it as migraineur brains developing, like, behavioral grooves – the brain gets so used to being in that state, an incredibly small trigger (that for other people, or a year earlier, would be benign) is too much: blammo!

(not meant as an anger complaint! except about my brain I guess, I will complain about that all the live long day)

a fun fact, looking at images of this kind of shit can trigger it in people whose brains are prone

ask me how I know, says the person who once walked by an art gallery full of paintings made by a lady about her migraines

The part where every little grocery/convenience store has truly excellent gazpacho in cute cartons 😍

One of my most favorite cozy reads (Hands of the Emperor, Victoria Goddard) does this masterfully – there's an entire giant catastrophe that pre-dates the events of the book and it's often referenced but never explained or detailed and she uses it SO WELL

chappell I am nothing if not extremely on brand

in archery class last week I got SO MAD that when I slowed down and took calm breaths and grounded my feet and engaged my core,,, I hit the target right in the center

RUDE

I would love to see the range of responses this gets, it's like that time Elmo asked how everyone was doing

Also it's not even good??? I was like "well, I *am* trying to throw together a basic project tracker, that seems AI-able" but,,, no

Sure, but if I was city-livin' there's a good chance I'd need to wrestle it up stairs or into a weird back shed where removing weight would make it easier!

OH ALSO, the batteries are heavy and removing them makes wrangling the bike into rack/car/etc MUCH easier. So we end up removing them almost every time we ride. (We're very rural, often driving the bikes to trails elsewhere.)

We have two bikes and it's much easier to bring both batteries in, and charge them one-after-another, than to wrangle two chargers or swap the bikes' parking spot halfway through. (And it's so fussy to take out the battery, I also need the key to put it back in?? WHY)

we refer to this baptism as "mystery city water" and we have to ALWAYS assume it is innocuous AC water

the alternative is not worth contemplating
