CM @becauseimapotato.bsky.social · 08/10/2026You know what AI can't do? Know to say "HMMMMMM" in a loud, silly voice when the Zookeeper's wife discovers Good Night Gorilla in the bed. 000
CM @becauseimapotato.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I finished @freyamarske.bsky.social 's Bodies of Magic while cuddling my toddler after (routine) surgery at a childrens hospital that is a shining example of how you care for a whole child and...I'm just so grateful to her for writing it and all the doctors and nurses here. 120
CM @becauseimapotato.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I was pretty hard to scare (but very very easy to startle!) but with that said, the end of Beethoven with the tray full of needles? I'm STILL deeply upset. 000
CM @becauseimapotato.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I had a baby and the baby became a toddler and he's on the cusp of becoming a little kid. I think he's pretty neat. 030
CM @becauseimapotato.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I literally laughed out loud but also I'm really glad she's ok!!! 010
CM @becauseimapotato.bsky.social · 21/09/2026My favorite part was the "HEY I WAS WARM AND COMFY IN THERE WHAT GIVES?!". In the moment it was when I could finally relax and in the ten second video I have of it, the facial expression is hilarious 010
CM @becauseimapotato.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I had to have my C-section early because pre-eclampsia and sometimes I feel a little sad that I never experienced that "omg the baby is coming!" feeling but honestly it sounds like it's not that exciting anyway. 110
CM @becauseimapotato.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Sometimes it's weird to remember I actually do like mystery novels but...I just mostly want them in an sff setting now. Anyway the new Freya Marske is incredible. 001
CM @becauseimapotato.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Shoelaces was exciting!!! It wasn't GOOD football but it was FUN football sometimes. 110
CM @becauseimapotato.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I'm not religious but I recently saw a three banded armadillo and it did make me believe more that the world couldn't be so bad if it had such a precious critter in it. 020
CM @becauseimapotato.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Fun fact, he went to film school at NYU and then sued them because he didn't like that classmates yelled at him for being loudly racist and professors gave him poor grades for submitting shitty work. 050
CM @becauseimapotato.bsky.social · 13/09/2026I spoiled myself just a little and it only made me more excited for you to do your thread. 010
CM @becauseimapotato.bsky.social · 11/09/2026I can tell you that in Dearborn our shared bond was more "is the new American jingoism going to lead to someone attacking our campus?" and "wow it's crazy when your childhood best friend thinks your dad should be in an internment camp." 000
CM @becauseimapotato.bsky.social · 11/09/2026"in those early months, immigrants and Muslims were targeted." "But that feeling of a shared bond among all Americans..." So, were the Muslims and immigrants not Americans? 101
CM @becauseimapotato.bsky.social · 11/09/2026We had to replace a ceiling fan and the light on it is just...part of the assembly? I guess the led just works forever or until the fan motor dies? I think about this a lot as our other ceiling fan goes through weird brightness changes at random as the bulbs go through their death throes. 010
CM @becauseimapotato.bsky.social · 09/09/2026I will be totally honest, while I know I read the books my impression of her is more from the show. 010
CM @becauseimapotato.bsky.social · 09/09/2026I liked that she didn't want to marry Bertie as much as he didn't want to marry her. 120
CM @becauseimapotato.bsky.social · 09/09/2026What no Honoria Glossop is my favorite age would not be a Nazi :( 110
CM @becauseimapotato.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Oh that would be wonderful. Ours have so many empty spaces where, say, crochet hooks should be, and very few sewing notions. 020
CM @becauseimapotato.bsky.social · 08/09/2026This is exciting, not just for pride purposes but for a Michael's that stocks LITERALLY ANYTHING FOR CRAFTING. 110
CM @becauseimapotato.bsky.social · 06/09/2026This is a game where everyone feels like shit. Western had an incredible triumph taken away and Michigan has to face that we continue to be butt. 000
CM @becauseimapotato.bsky.social · 05/09/2026100 pages from the end and it's just sons all the way down. 110
CM @becauseimapotato.bsky.social · 04/09/2026One of these days they'll do this quiz without the Devil's Night question and I'll learn that ACTUALLY I talk like I'm from somewhere else. Until then I will continue to talk like everyone around me has always talked. 000
CM @becauseimapotato.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Hawaii is a grayish blue on mine, but I'm very strongly upper Midwest. 000
CM @becauseimapotato.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Do I know the story of Heracles? Yes. Did I allow the "it's about kindness!" publicity of Wearing the Lion seduce me into ignoring what I knew? Also yes. Is my heart broken but I have to keep reading both because it's a beautiful story and because nothing heals if you don't keep going? Big yes. 020
CM @becauseimapotato.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Dating apps were a mistake; the real way to meet your partner for life is to make your life goal to be louder than him in an intro lit class, make him translate Communist propaganda, and then get him to send you Facebook messages 3+ years later. 010
CM @becauseimapotato.bsky.social · 30/08/2026I never caught that before but YES omg definitely a lot of McKinley's humor. 130
CM @becauseimapotato.bsky.social · 27/08/2026I'm really appreciating Daggerbound throwing shade (no pun intended) at Bradford pear trees. Disgusting. 010
CM @becauseimapotato.bsky.social · 26/08/2026In fourth grade social dynamics somehow shifted and I became an object of mockery. A tween volunteering at the library recommended Alanna the First Adventure and I learned that books could let you go somewhere else in your mind. 30+ years later Tortall is still my favorite escape when life sucks. 010

CM @becauseimapotato.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Me: aw man a book I really want to read is coming out Tuesday I shouldn't start anything new I don't get enough time to read to ensure I'll be done in time. The Felicity Complex: bitch, you're going to read me in one fucking sitting, I go FAST. 100
CM @becauseimapotato.bsky.social · 22/08/2026I think it's maybe for horror fans who like getting special vinyls? I don't know if that's a category that contains more people than my boss though. 020
CM @becauseimapotato.bsky.social · 22/08/2026It's the "30th Anniversary Edition" and now I'm ancient. 130

CM @becauseimapotato.bsky.social · 22/08/2026My coworker's husband decided that the term "fur baby" necessitated the inverse and started to refer to their son as his "skin dog" and I have never been so amused and so unsettled at the same time. 531262
CM @becauseimapotato.bsky.social · 21/08/2026I do copyediting for a local gaming con and our Pathfinder folks regularly run an adventure where in the descriptor they say something like "it turns out their mayor is a goat!" Every year, I change it to "Their mayor? A goat." I still don't know if anyone but me finds it funny. 020
