Still better than a Lululemon party

In the South, when you hear the thigh slaps it's time to either GTFO or let someone else GTFO. When they are accompanied by a 'whelp' it means they're serious.

Funny thing is, none of us were ever really explicitly taught that. We just sort of automatically knew.

Like you have to get a license to slay, just like with firearms or driving a car.

I wouldn't mind that to a degree, because they could show how it's much more difficult nowadays with social media and the 24/7 news cycle being a thing.

Maybe they could have new rules specifically forbidding it & they have a teen slayer trying to get around the rules.

At the same time, it is a little frustrating seeing people talk like her music has never held merit or that there's zero reason for anyone to like any of her less well received music.

I wouldn't say that it was sudden. I knew a few people who really didn't like her but kept their mouths shut because people would almost literally apparate out of nowhere to unilaterally defend her, regardless of topic. I think I saw a few joke memes and comics about this phenomenon back then.

I don't know how the show will go, but I really hope that at least some of the Slayers teamed up to form a union. Partially for the obvious humor that could come from it, but also because they have one of the most dangerous jobs on earth. And sometimes not on earth.

Considering how nasty weddings and wedding planning can get, it's kind of surprising that the body count isn't higher at these things.

I think the premise still applies for mysteries. Probably especially for mysteries.

Never apologize for the tiny skeleton. Just remember - in the immortal words of Robert Englund from New Nightmare: "Just because it's a love story doesn't mean it can't have a decapitation or two."

So the tiny skeleton is justified.

A gymnast wearing a vibrant leotard performs on a balance beam, extending one arm and balancing with one leg outstretched. The background includes a scoreboard and spectators. Text says: Having won a total of six Olympic and nine World medals to date, Rebeca Andrade is the most decorated Brazilian and Latin American gymnast of all time, as well as the most decorated Brazilian Olympian in any discipline.

🇧🇷 Meet Rebeca Andrade, the trailblazing Brazilian gymnast who made history at the Olympic Games.

Overcoming multiple injuries, Andrade's resilience and dedication led her to become the first Brazilian woman gymnast to win an Olympic medal, in Tokyo 2020.

Sometimes, randomly as people w/ active imaginations are wont to do, I'll wonder if I could hold out against torture. Then I remember @jfrostauthor.bsky.social writing a badass character who, realistically, wasn't able to hold up against extreme torture and realize that I'm a total marshmallow.

Shoot, @laurelhightower.bsky.social is both an author AND a busy paralegal, among the other billion things she's also doing at the same time. And then she goes home and does family things on top of all that.

Truth. I had to go back and watch the TV ending and read fanfic to kind of soften the ending of the film.

They're still kind of there but far more understated. Can't remember which anime magazine i read that in offhand.

Fun fact: when they made the movie they did away with the 'antenna' strands of hair to show that the film had a more somber mood. They said that the antenna was a sign of happiness and that form of Hitomi wasn't a happy as the one in the TV series.

There are good times and then there's there's listening to Kate Bush in a super chilled out mood.

They found out partway through filming, as the studio demanded that they as scenes tying it to the first fun. It's a shame it's tied to the first film as otherwise it might have gotten more love as a so bad it's good film.

I need someone to go to a spooky movie location and review this book on video!

Ever wonder what snow in the swamp would look like? This is 5 miles into the Louisiana swamps in the Atchafalaya basin... it's unreal... having lived down there for the first 28 years of my life, we never saw anything like this.

Smashed records.

Sure, there was the idea that you'd get a wife and she'd keep house, but there was still the expectation that you would know how to care for yourself.

Back in the day, before modern day conveniences, you'd be considered a failure if you didn't know these things. I'm not even talking ye olden days but rather in my dad and grandfather's day.

Creeping dread is one of my favorite tropes for slow-moving horror. You think you're getting frustrated, and then something happens and you realize that it's actually anxiety from waiting for the other shoe to drop. #booksky #horror #creepedout

I’ll be participating. The question is: do I take Sense and Sensibility or a book about poisons? #romancelandia

Publishers are getting so frustrated at George R.R. Martin's slow pace at finishing the series that they're trying to make their own entries in the series.

Can't go wrong with taxidermied raccoons, I suppose. Goodness knows Robert Baratheon probably had a million taxidermied animals.
