Something about furniture that looks like this that brings me a bit of joy. I needed a new nightstand bc the other one can't go over my vent (I hate floor vents). We went thrifting and I found this, looks just like my dresser from my gma. 🥹

I caught this on threads and the "oh" I let out... My ex best friend/ex partner... They told me I was too cringe when I got into Naruto. We fought off and on for years bc they thought ignoring me for months on end was ok. I think they also told me I was too much very often.

Did anyone have a "best friend" that was also their bully?

Surprised NCIS had an anti-AI episode and that most of the characters were like "nah this takes out the humanity fuck that shit." Anyway, wanted to show my partners Palmer's report on it and stumbled on an article claiming that the AI Chatbot isn't realistic... I'm gonna hold ur hand...

Character spotlight 🎉 Today's feature is Inarora Beservera, the titular character for Inarora's Excursion! They are 12 years old & they're sweet, kind, an anxious disaster, and very nerdy. Their biggest challenge in the story is getting back home to her time without changing too much of the past.

So I ordered copies of Ina's Excursion from 3 sources. I got them all today so... First place is Lulu.com. It came a bit damaged, but I don't mind given the SPINE IS ALIGNED! Second is Amazon (ew, I know). Quality is ok. The cover is lighter than it should be.
