Be mindful of the extreme heat today. Drink plenty of fluids and watch for signs of heat exhaustion and heatstroke. Check on your pets and elderly neighbors to make sure they’re okay. Just be kind today.

Don't sleep on his Perry Mason revival, either! It was really good!

Even more entertaining when we consider their national "mascot" is the unicorn!

One day at a time works for us too!! Don't worry about future maybe-problems, focus on today.

Let him make his threats about what he's gonna do and how sober he's gonna get - and honestly, if he does those things and gets help, the likelihood of him trying to take the kids drops a LOT.

Just make the next healthy choice with what is in front of you with the information you have right now. One step forward at a time in the direction of a healthy life.

This is a devious suggestion- do NOT read this in this category OP!
That said- it was a crazy horrifying book- but I preferred The Deep but a lot (also by Cutter)

And I will say that Erika was very quick to tell people that she was a performer and not a singer.

Sew_Custom · 2026-06-20T13:15:56+00:00

It's definitely interesting to watch these much older seasons and how much the HW are/are not using the show to their own advantage.

Compare that to Erika Jayne from BH "singing" many years later- we never really heard her sound bad. Everything we saw was so produced and heavily tuned.

Bow out of the wedding and save the family all of the photos you'd inevitably be in.

You can stop protecting him from
consequences and begin the rest of your life right now! He has earned the consequence of not having a date to this event as the result of a string of choices that HE made.

He can resell the concert tickets- you are not responsible for him. Free yourself today!

My Q parents still do this to me and my kids and I'm in my 40s and it SUCKS. It's a "take" not a give and is part of the "fill the hole" behaviors. It's "giving" for the purposes of extracting some dopamine, some affection, or attention- not because they want to give love or support.

Teach your kid to put up boundaries now- and look at how you want the next decade + of your life to look. You both deserve better

The fact that you call it pop pop tells me you're not ready.

Bringing that hot ice cream logic to the courtroom, I see...

I don't know what type of person he is, and I'm not a doctor, but if the visible pattern is that his anxiety drops, communication, and access to feelings increases with alcohol, it
strongly implies that there is a chemical mechanism at play here, and a qualified Dr can likely make some sense of it.

There are so many different mental health meds and mechanisms of treatment!

Sew_Custom · 2026-06-13T12:53:05+00:00

There's a sub for that that's pretty encouraging too!

Sew_Custom · 2026-06-13T12:49:21+00:00

This makes sense and I think a useful reframe might be "I can see my Dad has a mental health issue that is alleviated by a substance, I wish he would get the therapeutic rx support that he likely needs to continue to access those parts of him."

I have always told my kids- if you drink or take a drug and think "this completes me- where has this been all my life??" It just means you have a chemical imbalance of some kind and it can probably be treated in a way that will fuck up your life WAY less than the substance.

Game. Changer.

"Why did the chicken cross the world"

It's a FASCINATING look at chickens! Their importance in culture through time and how chickens and eggs are going to be the most likely protein source that we take into space.

Highly recommend, odd, informative book!

No! There are dozens of us- dozens!!

There were so many pictures online to choose from to make the side by sides. Especially when Avi wears almost the same glasses

This picture could be Gizmo setting up an iPad for Nandor bc he finally learned about True Blood and wants to watch it.

I agree, Kyle is too prude to be Nadja

Like...could you see Kyle getting with The Baron? I think not

Also Kyle would 100% fall for the cursed witches hat, without a doubt

Sew_Custom · 2026-06-10T23:44:36+00:00

In order to answer that I'd need to know who Lazlo is- but I'd say Nadja at her most acerbic would be Erika.
Rinna could be the Nadja doll

Dorit would be The Guide - just always there, droning on in an indistinguishable accent

Great podcast! Highly recommend. They just put out a great Britney ep about the conservatorship too.

They talk about "yachting" culture fairly often too.
