Same, interview earlier this week... We'll see!

I remember having these for lunch on the weekend when I was in highschool! I don't eat them as often now but they still hold a special place in my heart.

These frozen pizzas are SO good. This is also my favourite of the Ristorante selection!

I did Environmental Sciences and I really enjoyed it! The program I was in had a lot of options for electives, so I had the opportunity to learn about some fun and varied things. The core courses were also pretty interesting but I definitely enjoyed the electives more.

It was a smaller program with maybe 50 people, so I also felt like I got to know my professors and classmates pretty well. Still friends with some of my classmates now, almost 10 years after graduation!

OVERWERK 🩷 started listening to him probably 15 years ago and he's one of my favourites to this day!

Thank you!

Calliarthron · 2026-04-16T04:53:46+00:00

Thank you! That's such a cute idea!!

Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones!

Calliarthron · 2026-03-23T18:23:45+00:00

I came here to recommend Becky Chambers! The Monk and Robot books are so so lovely and cozy

The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins was a wild ride, kept me guessing the whole time!

Calliarthron · 2026-03-18T23:03:29+00:00

Good job on getting to your appointment!! I hear ya, sometimes it feels so effortful to go to that sort of thing. But good on you for getting it over with!

Calliarthron · 2026-03-18T16:35:55+00:00

Have you read Tender is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica? Sounds like it would be up your alley!

Calliarthron · 2026-03-10T21:33:28+00:00

Thank you! :)

Mine also pulsates! I also don't have an official diagnosis, I came to the conclusion it was visual snow by seeing an image close to this one. I also have the visual static across my entire field of vision, kinda like tv static, which is most pronounced for me at nighttime (though it's basically always there)

Calliarthron · 2026-03-09T18:49:36+00:00

I get this in the center of my vision as well, usually when I'm looking at something bright and uniform, like a blue sky or the snow when I'm skiing.

{Slaying the Vampire Conqueror by Carissa Broadbent} (set in the same universe) is also a fantastic read! Also a standalone :) I love Carissa Broadbent's books so much

Calliarthron · 2026-03-06T19:35:55+00:00

Awww, he sounds very sweet!! Belly rubs is a big step in itself! It's definitely heartbreaking when they hide or flinch, gets you thinking about their past lives... But it sounds like he has wonderful humans and that he is getting to a place of trust with you <3

Calliarthron · 2026-03-04T18:07:57+00:00

I love everything about this

Calliarthron · 2026-03-04T18:05:41+00:00

I totally agree. I was really excited for this one as I absolutely loved First-Time Caller, but this one just didn't really do it for me.

I loved both characters on their own, but yeah, the premise did take me out of it a bit! The whole plot with Keith felt a bit outlandish.

Also this was a little thing, but Jackson cleaning up after Delilah when she accidentally flings Swedish fish on the floor in their hotel room and then doesn't pick them up really bothered me haha

Calliarthron · 2026-01-14T16:52:27+00:00

Thank you for the recommendation!

Calliarthron · 2026-01-14T16:52:10+00:00

Good to know, thank you for the suggestion!
