That's definitely an appropriate time to feel sorry for oneself.

I'm definitely going to ignore this list, and simply rewatch Thunderbolts again. They're the main reason I'm watching DD, anyway.

That final episode is a lot, admittedly.

I usually pronounce it "Me-kae-nae", but I learned it in German. I would agree that soft c isn't a Greek thing.

Doesn't change that there was an inequality between them that would always put Frodo above Sam because Frodo was gentry and Sam a commoner. You have that for other characters in the book, too - Faramir is nobility, so he stands above Pippin; Aragorn is royalty, so he stands above nearly everyone.

Also, some classism which most people seem to overlook, but which for him was obviously very ingrained. We tend to see Sam as Frodo's friend, partly because that's how the movies portray it. But no, he's his servant; these two weren't equal, and it's obvious he didn't question that.

So sorry for your loss. Such a beautiful boy. Thank you for sharing all the lovely pictures.

I have a definite thing with samefood and not doing well with deep flavours and certain textures, but I'm absolutely in the running for AuDHD.

Not usually a fan of Schopenhauer, but trust me if I ever end up on a plane where someone starts preaching, that's what I am bringing to the party.

I mean, I really liked the movie a lot, so when I saw she wrote a negative review, I decided to put it away for a bit until the current buzz I feel has died down, and I can be rational about it. I think if more people did that, they'd be far less upset that someone doesn't share their opinion.

squirrelninja.bsky.social @squirrelninja.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

My guess would be so it doesn't break apart, but I'm purely speculating. I feel there are much better uses for potatoes than this.

squirrelninja.bsky.social @squirrelninja.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

That doesn't keep certain people from believing it's historical, unfortunately. Same as GOT, or the books it's based on, basically.

I wonder if they mean that Odysseus was too nice. Y'know, because he had thoughts about what they did to Troy. That still doesn't make Leonidas ambiguous, but words, what do they even mean, right?

When I went home after watching it tonight, there was a group of teenage boys behind me who also saw it, & they spend the whole way to the bus making fun of the people who were "enraged" bc of the cast.

I mean, "Anti" really fits in this case, the Pius order is somewhere to the right of Rassemblement National.

We have self-cooling mats, those work a little. Also going to the garden in the evening, when it's not as hot anymore.

squirrelninja.bsky.social @squirrelninja.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

We do, but they usually find them a bit creepy because noise.

I can imagine! It's so bad for the cats, too, they are mostly lying around flat. Though Mochi did climb out of the window this morning (he came back quickly, I guess because it was too hot).

Right from the middle of Europe, 98.6 here on Saturday. Which was the highest since we measure the temperature. Cool, cool. (Our house has one A/C in the main bedroom, because that's under the roof and not survivable in summer otherwise, the rest... )

I've done enough on the Kaiserreich to last several lifetimes (some of it even voluntarily) and I'm definitely convinced that is totally true!

They also thought they could keep Hitler in check because he only had a very low military rank. I kid you not. (The left wasn't that much better, unfortunately - the communists were too focused on not working together w/ the social democrats to stop the far right.)

I'd probably regret it if it happened, but I would love one where getting soaked in water turns people into someone or something else. I'm personally hoping to become a dinosaur.

Verbotsverfahren der Bundespartei endlich auf den Weg bringen? Kann ja nicht jeder von denen 'n Goebbels-Zitat als Klingelton verwenden, bevors auch dem letzen Mitglied der Regierung auffällt das die wirklich Nazis sind.

Also, möchte das Bild jetzt eine zerberstende Tasse oder ein zerberstender Teller sein? Da hat sich wohl die KI verschluckt.

I feel you. My current "fun with hormones" is perimenopausal, and I seriously wish we could have something like a switch to regulate this in an easy and practical way.

It's a short a-line bob with bangs. I'm sure there are more terms to describe it but I think that would be the basic haircut.

#Reading: #EmilyWilde'sEncyclopediaofFaeries by #HeatherFawcett. First in a series. Entertaining read, liked the style which emulates academic writing. Set in an alternate history Scandinavia, which was fun after just reading a history of the vikings.

Our bin days changed for the first time in years, only next week it will be on the old schedule. *finger crossed* that isn't the one time when I remember that it should be Wednesday now.

It's still a sexualizing outfit over a uniform, in both cases, and it only happens to the female characters. It doesn't make a difference that it's less overt, the root is still sexism.

If you are successful, please tell me your secret, because I could definitely also benefit from being less clumsy.

I'd say Troi's costume during the first five seasons was also a lot. For a start, why didn't she get the normal uniform, but instead something that was basically a leotard - she was a member of Starfleet, it made no sense at all. & Kira had both a corset under her Bajoran uniform & was wearing heels

120

squirrelninja.bsky.social @squirrelninja.bsky.social · 31/03/2026

Yes, absolutely. It was the 90s. Stuff like that was... pretty normal, I'm afraid.

The youtuber he agreed to be interviewed by is a wellknown champion of right-wing drivel, which is really easy to find out, and I'm hesitant to give him a pass for that. He should have known what he was getting into here.

Although Seven also gets some of the most interesting plots on Voyager. She was never just the girl in the catsuit. Just, apparently, you couldn't have the plots without the catsuit, which was the infuriating part.

And we know how that one ends! Which is fascinating, given that London was one of the poster boys for toxic masculinity.
