“You there. Halt.”

Sylvia resisted the urge to roll her eyes. Of course, she thought, that was one more universal truth about sneaking around. There was always going to be the one guy who got a power trip off of taking his job a little too seriously. I bet you asked your instructor for extra homework during guard training.

I’m not giving that Atlantic article any clicks, but I will tell you this: not ONE stay at home parent I know, and I know many, would begrudge free daycare. Why do you think we became stay at home parents you absolute doorknobs.

Is there something like procreate on the ipad but geared more towards the photo manipulation side of photoshop? Google is only giving me apps that adjust the whole image at once but I want something more for creating photobash artwork.

my knitting project that wasn't working out is now fully frogged back to ball form. Sad. I have a new idea for the yarn though but I'm gonna need to order more of the dark gray
three balls of yarn, one solid gray and two variegated red, in a purple project bag

huh. Something kind of cool that I never noticed before is that my popular, sizable local indie bookstore doesn't carry the Harry Potter books or any related merchandise whatsoever. This would have been unheard of as recently as 5 years ago. That's how much JKR has pissed in her own well.

As someone with both a STEM and a non-STEM degree I think part of the problem is the elitism with which STEM is taught at universities. Physics 101 is designed to be brutally hard and force people to drop out in ways that, for example, Intro to Literary Criticism is not.

Being a woman in tech in the early 2010s I got really good at threading the needle between being appropriately feminine in my cute Modcloth dresses while also gleefully participating in masculine hobbies and ordering straight whiskey and never frilly drinks at the company happy hour

Vulnerable thread time. I ignored so many red flags at the tech startup I worked at in 2012 because I was a starry eyed young professional who thought we were ~changing the world~ At the time I would fiercely defend my coworkers and say I was never mistreated as the only woman on the team. HOWEVER

There's a prompt going around asking about movies people have seen at a drive-in and I legitimately had no idea drive-ins still existed, I thought they all closed down in the 1950s or something. There's apparently one in Bellevue? I want to go to the drive-in now.

I want to call my third book Liar's Blade but then I feel like I really need to have a sword on the cover and my first two covers are scenery covers far too zoomed out to show an individual sword so now I have to decide if I'm changing my cover style mid-series or I have to pick a different title

Sad that I have to frog this knitting project. I like the pattern but this is the wrong yarn for it, not enough contrast. It's supposed to look like stained glass but instead it looks like vomit :(
partially complete knitting project with dark gray and variegated red yarn. It's meant to evoke stained glass but the contrast is too low :(

My experience watching Overlord because it was my partner's turn to pick the anime
"I sleep/real shit" meme with Snorlax sleeping in the sleep part and shooting lasers out of his eyes in the real shit part. For "I sleep" the caption is "In the anime overlord, a guy gets isekai'd into an overpowered skeleton and all the hot demon monsters in his skeleton lair want to bang him" and then for the "real shit" caption it says "In season 4 there's a nerdy fat dragon"

I guiltily confess I was taken in by the drama of the lesbian bar discourse too but I do wonder if maybe it's intentional that we're seeing a slew of "Those woke people, whom we are for some reason associating with the Democratic party, are just so craaaazy" thinkpieces right before the midterms

We can all go home, everyone. I asked my non-terminally-online partner who's a manager in tech if he'd hold it against a prospective employee if they came in with an iced coffee and he looked at me like that was the stupidest question he'd ever heard and said "No, of course not."

All these conservative woman British politicians have names that sound like they come out of a kid's cartoon from the 80s. Braverman wants you to think she's standing up for justice but she's secretly serving the dark lord Mordaunt and her loyal toadie Badenoch

I miss my 20s when going to the gym actually did something. I've been diligently following this workout plan for like two months so far and the only changes in my body are that I am sore all the time. I don't even think I'm getting better at the workouts, if anything, it feels like I'm getting worse
