that second guy has been out there for years. he likes to get into the faces of young women who have to pass him & tries to get a rise out of them. the rancid perv vibes are indescribable.

hi, can anyone tell me why I just rinsed off my yogurt? not my yogurt container! my yogurt. like there was a spot of something on my yogurt & I was like “hmm better hit this with some faucet water under full pressure”

they’ve made some Choices about how they split up the produce. i’m afraid i probably have weeks of acclimation hostility to overcome before i can be objective here

been neck deep in scriptwriting for the sea legs sequel; went on google maps to see if i could find the hotel in venezuela that my folks & i lived in for a few months. i did, hotel savoia is actually still around, which, wild. however, there’s something extremely important happening south of it??

pete’s never seen A Muppet Christmas Carol. i have a storied, raw set of christmas memories surrounding this film (on VHS, complexities around which once earned me huge childhood disgrace with my family); i talked him into watching. right around when rizzo smooches gonzo he said “this shit rules.”

the quote “we have nothing to fear but fear itself” has always been really confusing to me. like yeah dude, fear is pretty scary! people don’t love it! it’s actually like a whole thing

i read a review of Hamnet that described it as “mumblecore shakespeare” & while i believe this was intended in a derogatory way, i am now extremely listening

pete grew a tiny little beard & it has me spooked like an actual literal baby. i’m now routinely spotting him coming out of the kitchen or something & experiencing a brief WHO IS THIS MAN IN MY HOUSE moment of panic in my little failing lizard brain.

look…. it’s just what my face does.

jules bakes @julesbakes.bsky.social · 28/11/2025
to be clear, a lot of times it really IS just what my face does, but i also feel like, by establishing this precedent, i’ve recently gotten away with a significant number of very visible & inconvenient emotions by saying “that’s just what my face does”

I stitched hoop art of Janey from Sea Legs (get the cutest silliest most heart wrenching graphic novel now) for @julesbakes.bsky.social based on a panel drawn by @nikismithcomics.bsky.social. And then I stuck gold leaf on it, because Janey is age-appropriately narcissistic.
