Hey! It’s International Clitoris Awareness Week!

The term “working class” in common usage today isn’t about income or type of work. It’s been superseded by a postmodern definition focused on aesthetics and culture war stances. A barista who puts pronouns on a nametag is an elite. So is every adjunct lecturer. I don’t think this is a good change.

(And generally speaking, I wish a certain kind of leftist would spend some time thinking about why a plumber who makes a comfortable upper middle class income is a potential comrade while an actor or musician who makes the same amount is considered an elite.)

Gave in and DNFed Manhunt by Gretchen Felker-Martin. I really wanted to love it, and…I just didn’t. I’m glad it exists and that other people like it, there need to be more books like it out there.

I want the Warmies grilled cheese but I just got a bird and a bear from them so I’m probably going to have to wait for Christmas when I can sneak presents for myself into the house again 😅

speaking of webcomics I still think this Hark A Vagrant panel is like. the single funniest image of all time

Anthony Horowitz uses AI, says 'it feels like cheating'. I mean...yes? You're using the theft-powered plagiarism machine to generate text, do you expect it to feel like a good day's hard work?

I went to a parents’ workshop on picky eating once. At the break, instead of biscuits, they handed round crispy chili crickets. Those OTs are my heroes.

My hips and shoulders hurt so much today, I haven’t been able to sleep 😩

Kind of want to start reading the Rain Wild Chronicles already but it’s been less than a week since I finished Tawny Man and I’m still not okay. It’s kind of like that stage of pet grief where you’re not actually ready yet but you still want a new one anyway.

every mushroom foraging guidebook: This is Woodland Pot Roast, a tasty little mushroom that adds a delightful flavour to soups and stews. Note that it is often mistaken for Satan’s Fistula, a mushroom that erases the last 9 generations of your family from God’s ledgers.

I just bought another Oodie. I really don’t need a second one, my dachshund one is perfectly wonderful. But this one was on clearance and I liked the colors and design. It’s a licensed product for a football club that I’d never heard of (because I’ve only heard of Arsenal and Man Utd)…but whatever 😅

A class at my kids’ school put up little statements about the good they want to do in the world and I was over the moon about this one - then I learned they meant to say “teach people in jail” which is also good!
