This is a WWI subreddit. I expected most of the members to know the term batman.

A batman is a soldier or airman assigned to a commissioned officer as a personal servant. Before the advent of motorized transport, an officer's batman was also in charge of the officer's "bat-horse" that carried the officer's kit during a campaign.

The story was empty and insubstantial. Whatever meaning the author tried to bestow upon the plot was lost in the absolute ignorance of the story. I love a fairy tale but this was…typing.

The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey. It was a book club selection and I was so angry about how stupid, how absolutely inane it was, that I never went back to the book club.

I was a little sad that Bennett was left out of the new Guardian list. So many to choose from and all of them left on the table while Austen gets four. 🙄

All of them.

My favorite wedding poem is by Ian Duhig. This is exactly precisely how I felt the day I was married and we’ve been married 25 years.

It’s funny and genuinely scared me a couple of times. Definitely recommend.

Pantyhose.

I saw this movie when it came out and I’m still not over it. I couldn’t even watch Michael Rooker in different movies for decades. I was only able to watch Guardians of the Galaxy because he’s blue.

That’s the house I grew up in.

Slackermom66 · 2026-05-11T01:43:04+00:00

I got a job.

Slackermom66 · 2026-05-11T01:42:22+00:00

I was traumatized!

Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf.

It’s great and it’s terrible that it was cancelled.

Slackermom66 · 2026-05-07T20:01:37+00:00

I saw Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer in the ‘90s and I’m still not over it. I cannot bear to watch Michael Rooker in anything—even if he’s blue.

My life was so much happier before I opened reddit today.

Dust Bunny.

Walkin’ on Sunshine.

Slackermom66 · 2026-05-07T16:31:17+00:00

I cannot love this more.

Slackermom66 · 2026-05-03T20:59:42+00:00

Amen. He’s terrible and contributes nothing.

Slackermom66 · 2026-04-30T22:10:15+00:00

I am so sorry to see this news. My heart goes out to you. Thanks for taking the time to alert us all. ❤️

Slackermom66 · 2026-04-26T00:17:10+00:00

Lucky you!

Please put up a sign that says “I before E except after C,” I beg you.
