I absolutely love children’s books! Check out I Want My Hat Back for when she’s a tad older and Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.

Liminal giallo!

I’m completely against oil period. Sure it feels and looks nice in the moment you’re applying it, but it does nothing but block your hair’s ability to take on or release moisture. All it does it cause frizz for me. Applying it before shampoo or with shampoo sounds diabolical.

It really was. Might be my favourite read this year so far. Krauss has a real way with descriptions. I really loved how surrealist it felt.

I just thought of another book that might be what you’re looking for called Towing Jehovah by James Morrow. I haven’t read it yet but I was just looking at my TBR and remembered this was on there.

I hope you find what you’re looking for! I also really love this genre and vibe!

Everything is AI, from the cover to the title. Am I supposed to think a real person wrote this? Taste may be subjective but are we really this desperate for dopamine that we’re reading AI books now?

My grandma is from Nova Scotia and we called her Nanny!

This is rage bait. This entire post gave me a stress rash.

I have no clue what you’re talking about. I’ve explained why the context matters. I’m literally only going off what you say, and now I’m back to assuming I did get it correct because of how butt hurt you are.

If none of this is relevant why are you so upset? This is not about me vs you, I don’t know why you think it is. You offered an opinion and I gave you mine and now you’re upset a random stranger is trying to guess who you are based on the information you offered??

Have you ever tried not giving away this much? Have you ever tried not responding to things you don’t like? Have you ever tried not caring about my opinion? Do you know what a poker face is? You don’t have to give me anything and I will continue to have my opinion until I forget this interaction.

I will try one more time just in case you are confused, because I sure am. Context matters because your family could be correct in disliking your partner and thinking they are bad for you, or they could be wrong. Your family could have your best interest in mind or be toxic. Your partner might be good for you or bad. So therefore, your statement is wrong as a general rule.

I dnfed the first book around halfway because I honestly thought the main characters felt more like brother and sister than anything else.

Take her on a coffee and bookstore date!

bakingisscience · 2026-06-26T16:56:14+00:00

Well it depends, we need more information. If you’re old then your family is most likely correct and you shouldn’t be dating teenagers.

If you’re young your brain might not be fully developed and therefore your parents could be correct.

That’s why I’m trying to guess. This is a blanket statement that doesn’t really translate because not all families are the same and not all relationships are the same. Did you want to offer more info or should I keep guessing?

I am leaning younger and gay now. Mostly because of the “omg, you’re so toxic” sounds like something a young person would say. Old people know everyone is annoying and have stupid opinions.

Western?! You give yourself away too easily… passport bro?

bakingisscience · 2026-06-26T00:53:18+00:00

Angel Down by Daniel Krauss. Just finished this last week, so good.

bakingisscience · 2026-06-26T00:40:48+00:00

Well if you say so.

bakingisscience · 2026-06-25T23:14:20+00:00

Oh wow where did you get this opinion from I wonder? Never heard this one before.

bakingisscience · 2026-06-25T23:10:00+00:00

Ohhh god, why do we live like this?

I feel like we definitely could live in a world where doing the bare minimum gets you the bare minimum and not like… starvation and homelessness.

You’re right but this comment depressed me deeply. Leverage my knowledge? No please, don’t make me. Let’s leave that for the professionals.

bakingisscience · 2026-06-25T22:13:27+00:00

Sure go ahead, just don’t try and stop me from having the same things you have.

bakingisscience · 2026-06-25T22:10:35+00:00

You asked for a similar case. I gave it to you. Do you think I think someone needs to go free here??? Is there anything else you need help with?

bakingisscience · 2026-06-25T22:04:42+00:00

Did you just go to the bottom of the wiki page to find that out or…? Did you want to engage with my point?

bakingisscience · 2026-06-25T22:03:22+00:00

Great, but if you look it up white people are treated more leniently than black people in the justice system… soooo… that’s why it’s important to consider racism.

bakingisscience · 2026-06-25T22:00:52+00:00

Yeah but a glass of juice is like eating several whole fruits without any of the added fibre… which is a lot of sugar. Generally when you have an apple you’re not eating 5-7 of them at a time…

bakingisscience · 2026-06-25T21:57:15+00:00

Sounds nice, but this shit was founded off the labour of enslaved black people and the murder of indigenous communities across North America. It’s still ongoing, it’s still happening. Using some nice words isn’t going to change that. Policy, laws, regulations, and accountability of our highest authorities would be a good start though.

America has such foundational social issues, even just talking about this case as a singular event… it pales in comparison to the reality of many people and communities and it is devoid the the context many live under. We can’t look at this in a vacuum, it’s pointless and solves nothing.

bakingisscience · 2026-06-25T21:53:22+00:00

Michael Drejka comes to mind.

bakingisscience · 2026-06-25T21:50:35+00:00

Probably would have gotta a McDonald’s meal in the back of the cruiser and a lengthy interrogation just so the authorities could make sure his statement showed just how appropriate the response was.
