When thrifting or antiquing, I have a thing where I wait a day or two to see if I still want the thing I like, then I go back and get it. If it’s still there, that’s how I know it’s “fate.”

Magical thinking but that’s how I control my impulse buys.

Anyway, these espresso cups are mine now. ☕️

*Mike after Googling “Sutton Foster Pants*: Why am I only seeing images of Sutton Foster wearing pants?

Me as Google: “Surely that’s what this gay man wants to see?”

We are now deceased. 💀💀💀💀

Me: I don’t get the straight side of this joke. Lol

Mike: …me neither.

Lololol

Gay son: “Yeah, we named the baby after our favorite Broadway star…”

Gay son, Mike, and I at the same time: Sutton Foster!

Straight dad: I thought he only made pants?

Mike and I are watching the new episode of Shrinking. There is a gay guy telling his straight father that he had a baby. Hilarity ensued at our house from this joke:

Palafin (Hero Form), Clodsire, Terapagos (Terastal Form), and Roaring Moon.

Gen 8: Appletun, Sirfetch’d, and Regieleki.

Starting with gen 7: Mimikyu, Hisuian Decidieye, Ultra Necrozma, and Kartana.

This is my final day of doing my fave pokemon from each generation in the categories of fave regular, fave regional form, and fave legendary/mythical.

I had to get creative with gens 7-9 since gens 8 and 9 don’t have regional forms and there are also Ultra Beasts and Paradox Pokemon in these gens.

Gen 6: Aurorus, Hisuian Avalugg, and Xerneas!

Gen 5: Volcorona, Hisuian Samurott, and Victini!

Phew! Today was a squeaker. Reminder: I’m doing my fave pokemon from each generation in the categories of fave regular, fave regional form, and fave legendary/mythical.

Today, I’m doing gens 4-6. Starting with gen 4: Empoleon and Giratina (Origin Form). Gen 4 has no regional variants (so far)!

If you didn’t know, I got two new cats on NYE. They’re brothers and today is their first birthday!

Happy birthday, Simon and Garfunkel! I’m glad I don’t have to worry about them growing up to be awful people from being spoiled.

I’ve always loved him and his design. Also really like lighthouses, so the gen 2 lore is perfect for me.

Maybe the new FireRed and LeafGreen rereleases are a good re-entry point for you.

Gen 3: Breloom, Galarian Linoone, and Deoxys!

Gen 2: Ampharos, Galarian Slowking, and Lugia!

I’m doing my fave pokemon from each generation in the categories of fave regular, fave regional form, and fave legendary/mythical.

Today, I’m doing gens 1-3. Starting with gen 1: Gengar, Hisuaian Arcanine, and Articuno!

I decided that as part of my celebration of the 30th anniversary of Pokemon, my favorite video games series, I’m going to go through my favorite pokemon today, tomorrow, and Thursday, which is the day before Pokemon Day (Friday).

I was waiting for this as soon as I finished the episode haha

In high school, I had a teacher who always said, “You’re a gentleman and a scholar” instead of “Thank you.” Just decided my version is “You’re a diva and an icon.”

I didn’t know that I needed #ThePitt queer webcomic fan fiction, but here I am. 😍

This many. #365Buttons

Been there. I had a horrible experience at a local restaurant a few years ago, wrote a lengthy two-star review, and the response to it was shitty. I started writing a response to the response before I took a huge step back and realized I hated where this was taking me. Ended up deleting the review.

I’m sorry. I am happy for everyone and her. But Hilary Duff’s renaissance is absolutely a Ben Wyatt/Lil Sebastian situation for me.

Am I the only one watching #AKnightOfTheSevenKingdoms who is heavily reminded (in a good way) of A Knight’s Tale?

Btw, seeing other book readers’ commenting to Youtube videos of a day’s obscure Mountain Goats song has been delightful. #Books #BookSky

More or less on a whim, I decided to finally act on my desire to get to know John Darnielle and @themountaingoats.bsky.social better by buying “This Year” and working through it in 2026.

It has been already so contemplative and a re-immersion into the world of creativity that I desperately needed.

My first time reading a genuine romance novel and I see the appeal, even if the story was a bit (endearingly) cliché and the dialogue during the (very) steamy scenes became repetitive. #OneSentenceReview #Books #BookSky #HeatedRivalry

We’re playing charades at my work #holidayparty and I just derailed everything when I guessed Snowpiercer when the answer was #ThePolarExpress.

Why did no one tell me that Matthew Lopez directed and co-wrote Red, White & Royal Blue?
