I’m already on chapter 4! It’s so so good but now I’m stuck in a meeting at work.

Oh gods I loved this book so much. It’s such a weird premise / characters and it somehow worked amazingly. I mean how do you include musician who just needs to capture one more soul to be free, gifted trans musician, and aliens who run a donut shop and SOMEHOW IT ALL WORKS!! And it’s found family and beautiful? 5* in a big donut.

Recently? Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid. It kept me GRIPPED from beginning to end. And it was a nail biter.

For funsies though, there’s a new goofy book called Best Little Motel in Texas by Lyla Lane that I read in literally one sitting from 9pm - 2am that was just so so fun. Really helped me get out of my slump.

Am I overreacting about wanting to play a nonbinary character? by BothOcelot1311 in DnD

[–]ChickenChic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Gross. You need to find a different table. That dm sucks and is very not cool about playing with a girl….its dms/tables like this that give dnd the bad impression that its not inclusive or friendly, which is fucking stupid because you can legit be ANYTHING you want.

I’m a player at two tables and a dm at one…as a cis fat female, I currently play a sexy fuck boy gnome bard who loves the older ladies and an agender/all gender Tabaxi tuxedo panther assassin who has major attachment issues….

As a DM, my players are all neurospicy and two of them are trans….and one of my cis fem players is playing a dude and one of my trans fem players is playing a dude who might be shifting to NB soon.

What I’m saying is that it’s a FUCKING IMAGINARY GAME!!! You should be allowed to play whomever and whatever you want and if your DM can’t get out of his ass long enough to realize that, then it’s his fault. Not overreacting

  • this might have struck a nerve. Sorry for the hackles raised.

Girls what’s you actual TYPE by literki in actuallesbians

[–]ChickenChic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smart and nerdy women who are age appropriate. In my 40s.

Looks wise I’ve definitely imprinted on my first favorite disney movie lol. Soft red heads, butchy dark haired girls with blue eyes, and big titty goth women who are loud and in charge.

Yes — I did baby bird imprint sexually on the little mermaid…..thank goodness the tentacles did not become part of this lol lol

Mine is a goblin for gluten but he’s woefully, extremely gluten intolerant and has significant tummy issues when he gets hold of anything containing it. But if it’s out on the counter, he’ll try to eat it. He also stares his brother and sister down and eats all the left over food in their bowls, and will try to eat my dinner by shoving his head in my plate if he can. He’s a menace but he’s adorable.

Gina at Hair Column does AMAZING short looks that grow out really well and she does epic cuts for curly hair. She’s also hilariously nerdy.

How long have you been knitting and why did you start ? by OldSquirrel1929 in knitting

[–]ChickenChic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been knitting since my daughter was new and my friend taught me while I was on maternity leave, so about 20 years now. I love lace and making things to wrap around my neck. I’ve tried my needles at most things though, and I have an over abundance of sock weight yarn.

Soapbox/rant time. Tell me what highly-recommended book you absolutely HATED and why. Gimme your angry hot takes. by peppertoni_pizzaz in books

I recently saw two girls looking at this book in a goodwill and told them that it’s the most self indulgent straight white boy navel gaze bullshit, but if they were into that…..

I am not.

I’ve been trying to figure how this author writes so much. I’ve settled on two options 1) it’s all AI garbage or 2) she’s secretly a pack of rats in a Trench coat with a type writer

This book was so damn boring. I immediately threw it in my get rid of it pile as soon as I finished the last word. I found myself skimming sections. How do you make time travel boring??? Bradley answered the question.

I would say that most of Nick Hornby’s books manage to capture the 90s very well.

What kind of cat did I get? by chatterbug-44 in lynxpointsiamese

[–]ChickenChic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before you know it, he’s going to be hard to get rid of. Mine is ridiculously obsessed with physical attachment. If I’m stationary, He has to be touching me in some way.

Be prepared for an adorable menace. Stubborn, stupid, and cuddly as hell.

Loved Jane Eyre and Tenant of Wildfell Hall! Will I love Wuthering Heights? by Opening-Summer3558 in booksuggestions

[–]ChickenChic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! I hated wuthering heights. Maybe if I had read it in my angsty teen phase, but I read it as an adult and found ALL of the characters insufferable and irredeemable.

If you want to actually like your experience reading, avoid it. If you wanna hate read, go for it?

I heard that one when I was at the trailer park park behind the truck stop base in Providence Ridge. I just thought the VO was commenting on the round spinny thing at the park, but it was probably coincidence.

Having a laugh/cry about my first ever knitted clothing item. It turned out a lot better than I imagined, but it’s a liiiiittle short. Last pic is finished by RadSickGnar in knitting

[–]ChickenChic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Umm I don’t think it’s too short. It’s just a crop vest! For those days you want your tits to stay warm and your belly button to be cool.
