I feel like my main takeaway from watching Raiders of the Lost Ark for the first time in 20 years probably should not have been “omg I can understand all the German now???” but… here we are. 😅

Might be the greatest opening paragraph of anything ever.

I cannot believe the corners of the internet I hang out in have not rallied around a large generational talent woman basketball player and I had to find out from frickknh MSNBC www.ms.now/opinion/audi...

Thought I’d have to settle for “movie that I’ve at least seen” for a bit there, but Overboard is genuinely a fav… ^__^

The absolute first fanfic I started reading was an Inuyasha fic posted on someone’s personal website — but it was a pretty long one, so I also hunted up and read a bunch of Ranma 1/2 stories on geocities sites before I actually finished that first one. I was ~16.

In honor of getting @frameofmind.bsky.social to watch "The woman who likes to cook, the woman who likes to eat" and a (formerly) unopened bottle of Bailey's, we have made a celebratory name change.

hold on i gotta take this

Someone learned a lesson

Note to companies in my industry: Calling my personal cell twice a day for like a week without leaving a voicemail to identify yourself is not a good way to get me to recommend your service to my company.

Great news I am now extremely invested in the skeleton wives #mcolympics www.instagram.com/reel/DT_T9nN...

Excuse you, I also have the strategy of “fill in all the holes tidily even if it technically primarily helps your opponent”… >__> ^__^

Happy Birthday to the best man, Lan Wangji 💙🤍

Little early Christmas present from the German government: My citizenship got approved! I have two!! Passports!!! 🇩🇪 ...right, which one should I do next? 😁😇 #gottacatchemall

I feel I should point out that you can usually see some quite large hills there where all that fog is, and we didn’t see them once today. 😅 But it was worth it! 💪

As he celebrates his 100th Birthday this very day, can we all take a moment to acknowledge that time when Dick Van Dyke won the internet internet. Forever.

the kiwi accent has once again been named the world's sexiest accent, so it's obviously time to bring back this classic youtu.be/xdNWDYZMXT0?...

So, Facebook often sends me random updates from friends, usually focused (with no pattern I can discern) on a specific person for some period of months. For a while it was guessing pretty well about who I'd be interested in hearing from (though also shooting itself in the foot with broken links)...

I graduated directly into an economic collapse (2009 🔥) with a not terribly useful degree (musical theater 😇), spent a few years freelancing, taking classes, trying to write a novel, and generally looking busy so no one would ask me what I was doing with my life… and then two things happened:

Newsflash: Being sick is boring. (Also, this is basically the third time I’ve been physically incapacitated in some way in like, A MONTH, and I would really like my body to get its shit together now, please? I wanna go biking… ;___;)

Translation for my Untamed/Yizhan tl: Imagine the year is 2034. WYB and XZ have not been seen in public together since 2019. And then, following some sort of Untamed 15-yr celebration, one of them posts a pic of them all cuddly and drunk in a fancy wine bar. MIRACLES HAPPEN, is all I'm saying... 🫠

So like, an hour ago I thought to myself “haha, what if Kame posted a pic of just the two of them next,” AND THEN HE DID THAT. 🤯🤯🤯 Excuse me, if anyone needs me I’ll be lying on the floor for 2-3 business days.

this is real. a real photo. from 2025. oh dear lord. im dying

So apparently this happened??? (My brain is still refusing to comprehend it. Fifteen years of nothing but manips, it can no longer recognize an actual picture of Jin and Kame *standing next to each other*…) www.instagram.com/p/DQ1ivgsEk3...

Time for a concert and the usual concert hijinks and shenanigans will be joined by the transition to a new normal where a break of our KAT-TUN 3nin group is final. Very strange, odd, but having been through all the ups and downs of the experience so far - we stay the course with them until the end!

Because some damn fool asked, here's a thread about Baxter. This was taken on the day I brought home Baxter and threw away all hope of an easy life. Look at him. Absolutely irresistible. And that's how they get you, the utter bastards

I have literally been mistaken for my mother *when answering the front door at their house*, so. Yeah. (@jo-lasalle.bsky.social always says I look more like my dad though, which is interesting. ^^)

Guys new scamming method on bluesky. Please share this around. Dont fall for this stuff Block, move on.

That is… a very explicit poncho. O.O (I’ve even seen this one before, but it makes me do a double-take every time…)

Hell of a thing to put next to a statue of Joan of Arc. (h/t David Pilling)

Sometimes for work I have to schedule meetings with outside people without first knowing where they're from/based, so I try to tone down the !!!-usage so as not to terrify them (since most turn out to be European). When I get a reply back full of exclamation points, I'm like, "hey, fellow-US-ian!" 😁

Most of 90s tv for me, tbh, except for the NBC Must-See TV sitcoms of the late 90s (e.g. Friends, Frasier, etc.). I spent the 90s watching Nick at Nite, so I never saw Dawson’s Creek, 90210, ER, Buffy, Sex and the City, Ally McBeal, The X-Files, The Simpsons…… you name it.

This is the mid-way point for Narrow Bridge 🎉 I have started making and updating a ZIP file of all existing chapters to help anyone looking to catch-up. There is a link to it in chapter one, and from chapter 28 on wards.

Teenage me’s idea of what made me seem grownup: *reads Shakespeare, waxes poetic about Citizen Kane, gets heavy into Existentialism* Actual grownup me: *listens to podcasts about whether boiling water faucets are worth the money, and what kind of dehumidifier is best for preventing mold*

Norwegian home invasion.

Bones: Spock has been split into two beings, his human half and his Vulcan half. Chapel: And they have to have sex to remerge? Bones: No. What? No.

Oof—the KAT-TUN concert is limited to *only* FCs that were active when KT disbanded, even for the companion. I don’t suppose anyone out there has an FC they’re not balloting with that they’d be willing to donate to a good cause? (My FC was active, but my companion’s wasn’t. ;__;)
