I think this one was generally Australian, but I also think it died some time in the 90’s. I was taught sandshoes, but by high school everyone said sneakers

And the majority of people who think that way are men believing they can beat a professional woman. Bringing up the outliers is pointless derailing

No, it’s pretty clearly a sexism thing, the percentage of women who answered that they could beat Serena in the same poll was 3%

The problem with twirly dresses is that they inevitably become flippy dresses in the slightest bit of wind

Verdict on pickle Coke: not terrible, but not as good as plain Coke or plain pickle juice

The answer to why my mum threw a big 43rd birthday party for my father about 8 months before their marriage finally crumbled turned out to be “he’s been lying about his age since he was 14 and she refused to throw him a 40th until he was actually 40”

Intro textiles AND the intro music. I can actually feel tension leaving my shoulders when it starts up

Even without a point of comparison, it’s just a wonderful viewing experience. It’s a slower pace than a movie, being 6 50 minute episodes, but that suits the material

Sass @sass13.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Do recommend a rewatch, it’s a classic for a reason. Far and away the best adaptation

Sass @sass13.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

I’ve just realised that “a few” years ago was about 7, since the Wars were pre-pandemic. When first lockdown hit we talked about reviving Darcy Wars and instead decided that what we really wanted was to just rewatch 1995 together (in our respective homes)

011

Sass @sass13.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Yessssssssss. My friends and I did a thing we called Darcy Wars a few years ago where we watched as many P&P adaptations as we could (including modern ones like Bridget Jones), and I can now say with reasonable authority that this is the best one

The Window and Interior With Wardrobe Mirror, both by Grace Cossington-Smith. Definitely not the most expensive options, similar works of hers have sold for under $50k, but I love them (and I don’t have a spare $50k for the similar ones)

As someone who loves a good art museum, I often call visiting my favourite pair of paintings “contemplating art theft”. They’re conveniently near my office, so if I’m having a bad day I will go visit on my lunch break and stand there long enough to unnerve security a bit

All true! My problem with this series continues to be that Tsundoku isn’t a real place so I can’t go there

Sass @sass13.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Easily my favourite book of 2026 so far. US friends, you should preorder. Aussie friends, it’s already out, so you should swing by the bookstore on the way home and cancel your plans for tomorrow in favour of A Study in Sparkling and a good bottle of wine

Ah, see, the ways of the NYT list are a mystery to me as an Aussie. Almost everything comes out as paperback original here

Sass @sass13.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

The NYT Best of Fantasy AND Best of Romance 2024 lists disagree with you, you are Somebody (yes I cheated and looked it up, but only because I thought LLE had hit the NYT list and wanted to check my facts. Regardless, definitely a Somebody)

The KFC pickle meal looks disgusting judging from the real-life pictures (and I say this as a fan of pickles), but regrettably I do now have to put pickle brine into Coca-Cola at least once (I’m not voluntarily buying Pepsi if I’m making this nonsense myself)

Making the “I’m paying for the video” joke herself also stops other people from being able to make it. It’s the Dumb Blonde playbook all over again, and it’s still genius

Oh my GOD I have the song on CD so I’m familiar but I don’t think I’ve seen the video before. Just cracked up at the joke at the end

Okay so I’m a fucking idiot for missing Priscilla. The rest get a “haven’t seen it” pass (just realised I’ve never seen a Marilyn Monroe film and I should fix that)

Either I’m drawing a massive blank or I’ve never seen it, I’ve got nothing. Also got Die Hard, and feel very stupid for not getting the rest

@sparesidekick.bsky.social update to this: saw a video of Dolly telling the story of the lady at the bank, and she was exaggerating for comedic effect but this is more or less the official origin story, I was right

010

Sass @sass13.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

Right? It’s so good! There’s been so many stories about its origin that I can’t remember if this one is apocryphal, but I love the one where a lady at the bank had a crush on Carl Dean, and Dolly was able to channel the mere suggestion that another attractive lady liked her husband into THAT song

110

Sass @sass13.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

If you made it this far, tell me your favourite Dolly song (even if it’s one of the ones I’ve mentioned, I just want to know) Finally, I would be remiss to not mention the Dolly Parton quote I think about all the time: Find out who you are, and do it on purpose.

This thread could feasibly go on forever, but I’ll close it out with 9 to 5, the most iconic song to ever come out of a film about killing your boss youtu.be/UbxUSsFXYo4?...

I of course understand why everyone is choosing to talk about the Imagination Library, and the Moderna vaccine, and the disaster relief Dolly funded, any one of those things alone would be a marvellous legacy, but I do think it’s worth commemorating Dolly’s music, which made everything else possible

The bowling alley is the home to the only analogue photo booth in Sydney. This was a Photo Booth-based outing

Sass @sass13.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

I’ve done it the past two times! I think from here on in if invited to bowling I’m there for the snacks and the photo booth if they have one (solidly 90% of the reason our group of junk journal enthusiasts were there anyway 😂)
