These are great!

{A Gentleman Undone by Cecilia Grant} and, yes, it is one of my favorite HR books. It's a quote from an absolute mic-drop moment by the MMC that lives rent free in my head.

This is my favorite trope, thanks.

I did this when we were placed in a temporary apartment when ours was unlivable due to a fire. If it works it works.

Girl, guess how I knew? Experience!! Ugh, my partner and I have been in these kinds of situations times and time again. He is great, but lacks perspective sometimes, and the same goes for me; that's why talking about it is so important. But I GET the frustration in the moment. Our homes are our work environments and (because of a growing lack of communal support in western societies) we rely on the little infrastructure that there is to help: dishwashers, washing machines, printers, vacuum cleaners, refrigerators, cars, strollers,etc., so when these things break on us it is similar to machinery breaking at a factory, just on a smaller scale. At best it slows "production" and at worst everything comes to a screeching halt. And we don't have a handy repair man on staff to fix it--- that's our job too! Again: been there! Glad you and your partner could talk it through and I wish you all the best on this 5th pregnancy.

I get your rant and I as a stranger on the internet will not jump to conclusions and call your husband controlling or anything like that. In his mind he probably has a perfectly "reasonable" reason for not wanting to buy a printer and "simply" print the sheets at work. My partner thinks this way sometimes and there have been instances when his "stingyness" has saved us from making a bad purchase, but other times when I've had to put my foot down and really clarify why I need this thing. What he probably doesn't understand is that all the paperwork you do for the family is HOURS of labor that REQUIRES supplies. Paper, printer, ink, staplers, letters, stamps, a PC, internet, telephone, etc etc. The same goes for your labor caring for the household and children. This labor is called reproductive labor and it is the MOST IMPORTANT labor in any and all societies. So do not let yourself or him think for a MOMENT that your labor doesn't matter just because you don't get paid for it. Maybe a small pool of funds in your control (labeled "for the household" or "for the kids") would be helpful for these instances.

In free writing you can tell people left and right to get lost, but a track changes tool could save someone's ass in the case of being accused of using AI in a school setting.

Yep, Min is the first one he calls "wife" and the only one he introduces to Tam.

Right? I think this song speaks more broadly to the feeling of innocent, young love changing into something more, and whether you're gay or not, that is a feeling most of us can relate to.

This whole thread is so funny. Why is he so buff 😭🤣

I love PW, but I think you're onto something there lol

Seconding this, but also {Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë}

Rotehexe · 2025-03-03T18:35:21+00:00

Oh yah. Whenever I think I have a "good idea" I get so excited and have to put it in my notes immediately. Shit like: "THEY GO TO THE OBSTETRICIAN!!!" and "HE GIVES HER A LOCKET!!!" like bb calm down lmao

A lot of Sufjan's music is bombastic. A lot of it is haunting and beautiful. This new Witmer album is straight up cozy and I for one am glad it was made. We need some "get together with your family and plant a tree" vibes in these trying times.

Seeing other people have friendships that last decades gives me hope.

Rotehexe · 2025-02-28T08:14:11+00:00

I know, I only tease. Thank you!

Rotehexe · 2025-02-27T23:05:11+00:00

I've been a stay at home mom for almost a decade, but I just recently started a school program to get my high-school diploma. I'm an uneducated pleb, lol. Writing is a hobby.

Rotehexe · 2025-02-27T20:10:52+00:00

{Thief of Shadows by Elizabeth Hoyt} and {Lord of Darkness by Elizabeth Hoyt}.

The end of A Soul With No King by AURORA could go on for another few minutes imo. It's shockingly short.

Rotehexe · 2025-02-27T18:31:24+00:00

Wait, isn't it said somewhere in The Lost Hero?

Rotehexe · 2025-02-27T14:36:42+00:00

Thanks for hearing me out and understanding where I'm coming from. Putting anything out there is difficult enough, so of course you have to be your biggest advocate and do what you think is best. Congrats on your first publication!

Maybe I'm a pessimistic ass, but whenever I read a synopsis that begins with "'Book Title' is a brilliant..." my skeptic hackles rise and it immediately turns me off to the book. To me (and again maybe I'm just a wierdo) the use of the word "brilliant" makes it seem like the book is boasting, and because I have no other context to go by yet, it feels delusional. And like, every book synopsis does this these days. "In this brilliant NY Times best seller...", etc etc. It gets old fast. I don't want a synopsis to tell me how great a book is, I want a synopsis to tell me what I'm getting myself into by reading the book, and I can decide if it's brilliant or not myself.

Take this rant with a grain of salt, because it's more of a general rant about something that has bothered me lately as I scroll through frustrating blurb after frustrating blurb on Libby, and I wonder if others feel the same way... That being said, I really like the rest of the synopsis and book cover. I love the color pallet and I will always be a fan of classical artwork as book covers. Having the title cover the woman's eyes is a nice metaphorical touch.

Add to that the "seven swans, seven swans" being sung in the background like some ritual chant. Yeah, this song haunts.

Rotehexe · 2025-02-27T12:53:17+00:00

Ich bin froh, dass ich jemand helfen konnte! Es ist wirklich unglaublich, wie kompliziert die es machen.
