I have a lot of the things on this list for recreational camping but they double as emergency prep. My additional cents: I keep all my larger gear in one big plastic tub so if I ever need to go I grab the whole thing and toss it in my trunk. I also have two other wilderness first aid kits (one in the car, one easily…

I came to the comments hoping someone else had already mentioned Bray’s novel. Not only do the young women succeed lightyears beyond boarding school boys, they also explicitly address the ways in which women and girls are pitted against each other in contemporary society. The satire and absurdist elements might be a…

The real truth here is that all weird literary events are only 6 degrees (or fewer) from My Immortal on the internet.

Jesus it sounds like you only deal in extremes. The group I play with is brand new to D&D and one of our first big bads was a shitty ex boyfriend of one of the player characters. It was great! It informed the rest of the party about that player’s very mysterious background, it gave us insight about that character’s…

This is actually when I wear them. I’d never leave the house with my 40DD boobs in just a bralette but I LOVE wearing them under a t-shirt around my house, particularly after work when I’m just not needing the super intense support of a secure bra but also feel uncomfortable going totally braless. Equal to a real bra?…

I was surprised by the cancelation because I really thought it had enough of the procedural office team drama to be palatable to the network’s typical audience, in addition to fun references and likable characters. I love some high intensity storytelling but jeez, there’s still room for decently intelligent fun shows…

I saw more from Dany this week than previous episodes but I maintain that Jon has looked awkward as fuck in any non combatant interaction since he came back to life.

The lack of Arya stories was particularly jarring for me as soon as the Hound joined the party. He knows how she reacted post Red Wedding and he should at the very least compliment Jon on the well made sword he gifted her. I’m also going to assume that Jorah talked to Jon about Sam at some point on their boat ride…

This point is why I think it’d be interesting to have Dany be the battle hero of fire that ends up saving the continent from the White Walkers but dying in/after a glorious pivotal battle. She’s not a ruler but she’s very into her image as a savior- powerful and violent when need be. At some point she’s going to…

I agree that Supergirl’s earth would be a good alt-universe for this show. Kara is uniquely suited to mentor young heroes, particularly ones who discover or gain powers because she had to learn to deal with that as a kid too...unlike say Oliver or Barry or the adults who populate the existing Arrowverse earths.

All I want in life is a costume demo montage (I’ll take a flashback even) that gives me a well cast Dick Grayson in the Discowing suit long enough to take a screen shot. MAKE IT HAPPEN.

My camping gear is essentially my disaster kit as well. It’s also the reason I don’t flip a shit when it snow/ices down here in the South. Well made sleeping bags, thermals, and a propane camp stove got my family through a week without power during an ice storm in high school- it’s totally fine for me and 2 cats.

Brooklyn Nine Nine and it’s currently on hiatus.

Agreed! And they’ve been dropping bits of Kord tech into the background of the Arrowverse for years so just give us BG and BB already. (and Nightwing because Dick Grayson is a character tailor fucking made for the CW audience)

This combined with the news that Season 3 of Young Justice is possible is bringing me joy. Now I can watch my SG-1 marathons without any silly conversations about canon.

Except when you consider the abysmal state of NC DMV’s, particularly in urban areas that are centers for POC, where you have to show up 30 min before it opens, stand in line for several hours, and still might be turned away because your methods of ID at the time won’t cut it so you still wasted half a morning. I can…

Same. I even worked out a deal with one of my good friends across the hall where if we came to the other’s door it meant “please listen for my class because I need a minute to pull myself together in the bathroom.”

I teach juniors and seniors at an affluent, overwhelmingly white school in NC. Yesterday I put up a gag order on the election, first because I didn’t know if I could talk about it impartially (as I am legally mandated to do) and second because I had a tight schedule for the day.

The difference is that I know the log in codes for those streaming sites and if I don’t they’re much easier to locate or change than the account # of the one household that has a cable and therefore much more accessible. That’s not even taking into account the fact that there’s maybe one or two shows out of the many I…

As discussed in other threads, account sharing is a thing too and that definitely reduces the cost. I still share accounts within my immediate family that I set up back in college when we all lived in the same place for at least part of the year which is the “appropriate” way to use said services, it seems dumb to…
