I'm rewatching Empresses in the Palace for the first time since I saw it a few years ago.... Honestly, knowing what will happen is making this so much more painful #cDrama

My cat just started panting, shivering and throwing up on my balcony 😭 definitely because of the heat, because now that I shooed her inside and she's under the bed she's fine, but why didn't she come inside if she was too hot?? The door was open 😭

I really need to vent bc I just saw this video and I don't hate myself enough to write this in the comments youtube.com/shorts/Wmnot... Tw diet culture, diet medication, weight loss talk

also it's author said this (which breaks my heart a little bit)

So turns out that the leaves of kohlrabi plants taste pretty much exactly like spinach when you cook them which is good because I love spinach and I am very much in doubt about whether or not these fuckers are going to ever actually get the big bellies I want them to get

Listen in on scientists finding (and falling for) a new species of octopus now called Microeledone galapagensis. Read more here www.scientificamerican.com/article/tiny...

Does anybody else ever get into a series of clumsy accidents and then feel like you have to be stock still for the rest of the day or something even worse will happen? 😭

Artist struggles

I'm likely more aware of the problems of Chinese politics than most outside of China/the Chinese diaspora, but sometimes the way European media reports on it is ridiculous....

Why is the newest trend in ugly-ass western AI mini dramas "woman gets murdered brutally and then watches as a ghost while everybody pretends she only plays dead"????

The fact I can only read one book at the same time is a tragedy And I don't mean "read one book until it's done then go on to the next one". I think it would be just and right if I could be reading at least 2 books at the very same time, one eye on one, the other on the other

My favorite mother’s day cartoon from the stupendous @rosemarymosco.com

Does anybody know how fast a cat can eat a sparrow? Because mine just got hold of one that smashed into my balcony window and either she snarfed that thing in 3 minutes flat or I need to go on the worst easter egg hunt ever

I'd like to add to this that the best donation you can give is cash money. Food donations have to be checked for expiration dates or packaging damage, sorted, and stored. Food banks have access to wholesale prices so if you give them $100, they can get what would cost you $200+ to buy yourself.

I'm listening to some Leonard Cohen songs I haven't heard before, and a new song comes up with a very happy melody So I'm thinking "Oh, that's very upbeat for Leon-- ooooh ok" It's "The Captain" 😬

Kinda tired of the "historians will say they're close friends" meme. Babe, we've been screaming about how gay everyone is for *decades*. Funding for history keeps getting cut as a result. There are entire moral panics about it. You just haven't read any history since highschool.

One of my big fears about weight loss drugs is that at some point, somebody will force me to go on them. The health outcomes on them are uncertain to bad. The average amount of weight you lose is 8-10%. You can never stop taking them.

Huh. I can't remember planting that.

At some point I have to figure out the name of this older actress. I loved her in every single short #cdrama I've seen her in, her dramas are some of the most interesting story lines bc she can't play the ingenue, and just....... she's really nice to look at, too <<

I'm getting too old to try and answer the question "Okay, but am I allergic to this too?" by eating the thing and finding out

Perfect weather forecast for my balcony

I really wish American authors who write historical fiction set in Britain were a bit more aware of how weird most American first names are :') I'm sorry, but there is no way any British woman with the first name "Hadley" was living in London in 1830

Do you ever start reading a book so weird you immediately go to goodreads to see the reviews but the reviews are so funny you feel you have to continue the book now?

Is it just the isolated glimpses I get into fandom these days or have the antis just genuinely won and "proship" means "ships underage" now....?

Anybody else know this special #adhd circle of: You start a project you wanted to do for a while, you actually finish it, but now you ate completely out of energy- and THEN you realize that something went really wrong because you didn't plan ahead (you weren't even aware that you need to)? Yeah....

One thing I really think people underestimate in regards to ADHD are the memory problems. I am constantly looking for things I KNOW I put in a specific place that just aren't there anymore. It honestly really fucks with my sense of reality....

It's so weird that there are western mini dramas popping up now that are just 1:1 copies of Chinese mini dramas, because they use nearly identical dialogue, but they often just don't do cultural adjustments :')

I'm really sorry, I generally try not to make fun of weird American names But I simply can't read a gay dark romance novel if one of the MCs is called "Sauce"

So... this is about 300 hours... @wtyppod.bsky.social

I got a cool new reward jar but I didn't know what I'm going to reward myself for But now I'm thinking I'll use it for every day I managed not to look at the comments on things I think that might be good for my mental health.

Therapy is kinda funny, because some weeks you have no topic to talk about and you feel like you're wasting your money and the therapist's time.... And then other weeks you just spent a bit too much time with your mom 🫠

House cats literally evolved to be inside (a barn, a stable, a pantry), and now people act like it's natural for them to be outside all day, with no barns or storehouses or stables anywhere where they could get what they approached humans for in the first place (shelter and easy access to food)

Somebody in my neighborhood is letting their LONG HAIR CAT free-roam at 0 degree...... that poor thing's fur is completely wet...

I need to get off tiktok again, somebody is trying to tell me we have domesticated deer

I just read this article that basically says you can't like Caravaggio's work for the same reasons you shouldn't like P.Diddy's, Michael Jackson's, Woody Allen's or Roman Polantski's work

Me: Finally it's Saturday and I can get some writing done!!! My cat: Wait, why are you not on the bed petting me??? You're out all week, I only get a measly two hours of pets in the evening, and now you dare to leave the bed even though you are still at home?????

vm.tiktok.com/ZNdEAGWYr/ got my cat a new toy!!! I'm kind of scared of her now 😂

I'm absolutely fascinated by this diamond painting on Temu..... who ARE these people??

I just called my cat over from where she was lying three feet away, dozing, and she came over, curled up next to me and fell asleep again 😭😭😭 how is this real????

Stitched 🧵💗⚡️ #helluvaboss #fizzarolli #asmodeus #fizzarozzie

My cat reappearing after hiding under my bed for the full length of my movie night bc I dared to have a friend over Absolutely covered in dust from under the bed and ready to headbutt my boobs into oblivion bc I need to make up for lost petting time

Other cats: Living alarm clocks, will yell at you if you don't get up at 6am to feed them My cat: Will cry like a little baby if I get up any earlier than ten, and even then she's not going to be happy (but then again she is a bed-time-alarm clock. God help me if I'm not in bed by 10 pm....)

So I watched the first two season 2 #HazbinHotel episodes and... am I crazy? Why is nobody in Heaven even MENTIONING that Adam was trying to kill the people who killed him first? Why is everybody talking about 'revenge' when Adam's death was literally self-defense?

One thing I hate about "online" is that as soon as you mention something that sounds positive about a historical thing that has been turned into a horror story in modern minds, you get accused of whitewashing history.

with the book I'm #writing right now, I feel like I'm adding clay to a vaguely defined ball with so many issues that I know I'll have to change later, but also I feel if I start going into the details now I'm never going to get to the end...
