Ruro @ruro.bsky.social · 04/09/2026I disliked Harry Potter when I was the target audience (my 5th grade teacher read to us from Goblet of Fire when it was the newest book), so a bunch of the people who were 100% there at the midnight release parties now claiming that they always disliked HP feels like stolen valor. 010
Ruro @ruro.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Years later, I got to live in Pontevedra, Galicia, in the city center (just off the pilgrim trail). And I would remember that story about my childhood while watching kids run around like crazy near the fountain, and the most danger they're risking is a skinned knee, because there are no cars there. 040
Ruro @ruro.bsky.social · 03/09/2026When I was a child, maybe 5 or 6 years old, my mother once had to hold me back from running into the street in East Los Angeles by grabbing my pigtail and yanking on it, hard. It's still a scary moment for her that she talks about. I don't remember it, but that could have been the end for me. 150
Ruro @ruro.bsky.social · 03/09/2026It's telling that some of the beliefs you can develop from an interest in making a city better for the people who live in it, like "mistakes should be survivable" and "children who make an impulsive choice around a street should not die or get hurt for it," are categorized as very socially radical. 23713
Ruro @ruro.bsky.social · 03/09/2026I was listening while cooking salmon so I did have a laugh when you said that they might have kept fish to have a nice supper. Actually, here's a question: on the topic of making people sacred, did Roman priests like the Vestals have dietary restrictions? Thanks, this was an interesting discussion! 000

Ruro @ruro.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Anyway, for people who live in Europe, I do want to point out that the Pieroguszka with a :D face is currently on sale.

Ruro @ruro.bsky.social · 27/08/2026There are cheaper alternatives on Amazon and Alibaba and what have you. And I wish there were more variants available in the US; shipping on their site is EU only.

Ruro @ruro.bsky.social · 27/08/2026I don't do promos, but I just want to point out that the nonprofit that made those cute pierogi plushies for the Polish figure skating team at the winter Olympics has a bunch of them in stock now.
