God I miss tv show series that would drop new seasons every year and then have 25 episodes all 45+ minutes long and then themed episodes around the holidays and you could just tune in every week for the new one with no pressure to binge watch so that you aren’t spoiled I HATE that so many streaming services drop whole seasons/shows at once. It kills my motivation to watch when I’m like “if I don’t consume all ten hours of it asap I will be spoiled for every single plot beat by the end of the week” and I’m SO glad more shows are moving back to—

My adhd life hack for those of us who work during the day and get home in the evening:

Get ready for bed as soon as you get home. Doesn’t matter if it’s only 5-6pm. Don’t sit down or start any other task. Change into comfy clothes, do your skincare routine, brush your teeth. Literally if I wait to get ready for bed until I’m ready to go to bed, I will procrastinate until 2am because I *don’t want to do tasks I just want to sleep and therefore won’t move to go to bed at all because*

But if I just do it as soon as I’m home…

Seeing terfs claim that it’s common and normal (“everyone has had to do it at least once!”) for people who menstruate to have to take off their underwear and pants in a public restroom to wash the blood off in the sink is. Mind boggling. Fascinating. Lunacy. I’m aghast. 1. No?????
2. What are you wearing when you do this? Are you just full Pooh Bear in the bathroom next to the sinks?????
3. If your flow is that heavy, are you just free bleeding onto the floor
4. do you put the WET BLOODY UNDERWEAR BACK ON???? (One of them answered yes)

You know how the “no reflection for vampires” thing came about because mirrors used to be backed by silver?

I’m just imagining an ancient vampire catching his reflection in an aluminum backed mirror for the first time and SHRIEKING in shock Or opposite
How most lore these days say no reflection whatsoever, from mirrors to windows to cameras—what if portraits couldn’t even be made of them? A painter tries and the rest of the painting is fine but any time they try to recreate the vamp’s appearance the paint slides off

When they announced the Ariel casting I was working at a school, and a little girl with red braids told me I looked like Ariel and I said “So do you!” and showed her a picture of Halle and she was so taken aback it was clear she almost didn’t believe me at first but then— she grabbed my hand and said “Then we can both be Ariel!” and I just hope she got the see the movie this weekend and loved it 😭

Lol I was dirt poor. Barbies are incredibly affordable if you’re not buying special ones. It was the My Scene dolls and Bratz dolls that were a bit pricier, and even then, a lot of my low income friends had parents who would splurge on those for birthdays if they could

I did not have a savings account and ALL “vacations” were road-trips to visit cousins in cramped cars, I was on free school lunches, I felt the pressure of my parents’ stress over finances, they sat us down multiple years to try and explain why we would each only get—

1. The “2nd” run of series covers (ignoring the very first editions of The Lightning Thief) very nice cover, I still need to get the rest of these versions on hardback to complete the full mural!

So I’m at a show tonight, and I ordered a drink and for a single, because way cheaper, and the bartender goes “Would you drink a double if I gave you one? 😏” and I—

That—

heLLO?!!?! Anyway that’s how I got a double for the price of a single and I asked for a lid and he goes “you can have whatever you like 😏”

WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME?????????

I am happily engaged but also very flustered what is happening?!?!

“I think we should legally restrict certain kinds of people from having children!”

Eugenics. You’re saying you’d like there to be eugenics. People will look at someone saying “stupid people shouldn’t be allowed to procreate” and go yeah! They’re right!

There are posts I’ve seen here advocating for licenses to have kids, and forced birth control/sterilization and… babe. Babe that’s how you get genocide.

I remember once in music theory, I asked my professor what musical notation in other cultures looked like. He asked what I meant, and I was like “well, obviously we standardized this at some point— so what did sheet music look like in non-European countries?” He did not know. ANYWAY you can find some examples of ancient/other cultural musical notation on Google but I can’t find very much of it, so if anyone knows more about this please tell me because I am fascinated!!!

My dad made a “meme” and asked me to spread it as far as I can so here you go Wowzers…. You all have made my dad very happy lol 💜
