I ultimately picked Nomade for my office perfume because it's the lightest most femme chypre I have found. I like the edp too, but find myself chasing the oakmoss smell in the drydown more than the musk. The edt captures the creaminess of the edp with lychee but has no musk whatsoever. Yum

The movie speaks mostly of being accountable and the pain of that accountability. Odysseus can curse the gods to the end of time but it won't move him any closer to home even in his heart. He has to understand the full weight of his mistake to finally come home and let his wife judge him worthy

Ultimately a man is one that takes action, makes a choice, and it seems today, people think masculinity is only the choice, but to be a man, even in old times, is to understand every action has a consequence. To be full and present in life, a man must be accountable to the actions he's taken.

The dominant theme of the movie and evidently the question of the age is "how does one be a good man"? Is he clever? Loyal? Logical? One that bends to the whims of destiny? Listen to the gods? Fight for right or wrong or his people, his friends? Is he empathetic? Stoic? Yes.

I just picked imax at troy mjr because it had a matinee that lets me get out before 3. $7 seat!

I loved it. The costumes were bad and I found the opening sequence of the suitors pretty boring, but everything else was chef's kiss C H O I C E S

The kids first week of school was pretty hard on them. One of them had dental work today, which was tough on me too.

I bought new office pants and loafers. I got a bunch of business casual shirts from thrift. I got the eau toilette (Chloe nomade was $50 at Nordstrom rack) perfume for the office, and now I'm waiting for the first day like waiting for the train. Am I ready? Maybe physically? Emotionally?

In a world where your evil boss makes you commit hellacious acts and turn you into a monster, but won't acknowledge your gender, is it still valuable to try to have your gender acknowledged? The answer is yes. It is worth it. But at what cost????

Poppy Lyttle-King @poppylyttle.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

Do you think the editors reading authors they constantly reject develop an opinion about them? Like yes I've seen your stories develop over years and no I'm not buying any of them, but you go, good for you, keep trying

I reread this story again and it's so fun! It's fast paced, hestion is such an antagonistic asshole and a blast at the same time, the queerness is little judgemental but also nuanced and rich. Probably my best short story to date! So I'm going to try to get it published somewhere else

The best way is probably to read the submissions that did get it and compare but that also feels sorta icky

"so everyone in your story is basically a villain" Me, tactfully, with all my faculties alerted: I just don't think there can be heroes for a system, when the system is evil

Tempted to just ask Arkady Martine since she's on her. Like holla. Do you like military space anime??????

Poppy Lyttle-King @poppylyttle.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

I noticed it first book too but maybe it was reeled in. Now that we are full space battles, it's all anime to me

Poppy Lyttle-King @poppylyttle.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

Absolutely whack a doodle commentary from me but everything in the teixcalaanli books looks, in my minds eye, like an anime. All the characters, look like anime characters. All the stuff that happens, anime. Writing style is just translating so weird for me. Why this book read like a gundam series?

Tut tut such a good end! Abusive husband gets eaten after being stoutly told off and punched by the two people he's wronged. He was even enslaved for a period of time to a guy even worse than he was. There is a grotesque blood drinking scene which is awesome! All very satisfying

Flea from The Red Hot Chili Peppers did a no lyrics version of Frank Ocean's Thinkin Bout You and it is both great but only because the original is fire.

Aaaannnd I'm used to it again. Robin is such a beast at multiple perspective. Every swap of viewpoint is a treat. Keeps the story very engaging. And the settings are so rich and original. A banquet to the imagination

August will mark my 1 year anniversary of starting calisthenics! I've never been very interested in working out, but I've consistently done calisthenics 5(!!!) times a week for nearly an entire year. Has my body changed? Probably. But more than that I do feel healthier and happier.
