Hot take: No.

From my own non-expert, only watches during the Olympics perspective, what gets me about the Ohashi routine in particular is that the routine and the music work together, starting with the Tina Turner dance to Proud Mary. This seems to be the exception. Same thing with figure skating; the music and the routine rarely…

I say give Kate McKinnon & Co another crack. In fact, let Kate McKinnon have a crack at anything she damn well pleases. I’ll watch it.

The worst one for me wasn’t actually from my MIL but from my grandma - she tried to give me an old red babydoll nightie of hers that was completely sheer except for three strategically-placed heart patches on the fabric. It was horrifying. 

The part that seems extra bonkers to me is that, by including Terry Crewe’s testimony, Gillette was even explicitly acknowledging male victims, which is something MRAs frequently scream about.

I was also thinking that in certain situations, people might be more likely to take precautions. For instance, a young woman going to a frat party might be very careful about not drinking too much and not leaving her drink unattended, because she wants to go out and have fun, but has heard horror stories about what…

Took this picture last week of Momma Kat (middle) and her two boys Kevin (left) and Cannoli (right). It’s seriously the best. I’d also put them up in their own place if I had to.  Nothing but the best for these kids  

Seconding stopdrinking on reddit. I went there a lot in my first year, definitely a good thing to read others’ stories and engage in a community. I’m two years and almost four months sober - by the end of my drinking I was having maybe eight drinks per evening. The first month was really one day at a time for me, but…

Well I’ve had 2 new pieces of spine since last Friday. I’ve been really overwhelmed by how much love I’ve gotten - recieved roses, had at least one meal delivered everyday, got an instacart gift certificate, the teens and younger kids that I work with have all sent me get well cards (homemade, so good.) And my work…

That is awesome. Creative writing of any form can help channel emotions that more formal journaling sometimes doesn’t quite touch. Weirdly I tend to self-censor if I journal...like maybe I’m afraid someone would find it and judge, I guess. Writing “fiction” maybe I figure I could say “Oh it’s just a story”.

That’s great! It’s important to be creative, even if it’s just for your own eyes. 

Shelter Cat Update!

Heyyyy SNS, it’s been a while. Craft Thread? Craft Thread!

Hey kittens it’s Saturday! I hope we’re all kicking back or doing something fun. Me, it’s football and fireplace and vino at The Bartender’s cabin, we’re chilling. It’s so cold here!

Well folks, I had a baby this week. 10 days before her due date, actually. Labor was extremely fast (less than 1.5 hours from start to finish) and we BARELY made it to the hospital (I seriously almost had her in the car), partly because we had to wait 20 min for my mother in law to show up from SIX BLOCKS away to…

Self care is extremely important. Go you :) my week has ended on a very good note. Hope yours has gone well. x

After a long spell of depression, I’ve started taking the one thing that actually helps. Self-care, yay me! I hope everyone is having a lovely week.

Good luck to them. They have a lot at steak.

If I got rid of everything in my life that doesnt “bring me joy” id be sitting naked in an empty apartment with my cat and a 12 pack.
