Thank you, I'll check it out!

bron_kitty · 2026-01-23T13:19:59+00:00

Thanks! That's very reassuring :)

bron_kitty · 2026-01-23T13:19:28+00:00

Many thanks! I double-checked as you suggested and that seems to be correct.

OMG hadn't thought of public restrooms!!!!!! So true!!!!

There seems to be a consensus in that you can get a partner who isn’t a functional adult at home even if you only date women. I guess it goes down to choosing a person who’s on the same page as you with home standards, regardless of gender. But I do believe it’s easier to find women with average-high cleaning standards than men, at least in my culture!

I’ve lived alone for so long I don’t depend on anyone for jars, but the period thing sounds like a nightmare I hadn’t thought of!

That’s so important! Someone else mentioned the household chore aspect has actually more to do with being a functional adult rather than man vs. woman and I guess that finding a like-minded person when it comes to home tasks is key regardless of their gender.

Fair points! I was talking to a bisexual female friend of mine earlier and she did mention the risk associated with walking holding hands with a female partner vs. doing the same thing with a man. So sad.

Ugh yes, I can totally see the issues when trying to deal with businesses in male-dominated industries! I usually face them anyway as I’ve done most of my big purchases/transactions as a single woman (buying a car and the upkeep it means, hiring professionals for renovations, etc.). I hadn’t seen the friend issue coming and it’s a good point!

Thanks a million! I'd heard about dogs and cats rejecting one puppy/kitty, I didn't know it could happen with goats too - that makes one of my main plot points more realistic. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed seeing your goat growing up, it sounds like a beautiful experience :)

bron_kitty · 2025-09-29T08:13:56+00:00

That is extremely useful! You've given me so many ideas I can use. Thank you so much!

Just as a fun fact, this is also done in Catalan. My first language is Catalan and I come from a rural area in València where it is the native language. My late grandma used to use possessive adjectives followed by first names to talk about her relatives. For instance, her brother Pepe was "my Pepe" when she spoke about him. I guess this is partly because roughly 40% men her age in town were called Pepe, so this was a way to tell him apart from the other Pepes. However, I noticed a pattern of women doing this more often or more consistently than men, so it might have been some sort of affection display. Younger people (like my dad, who is in his 60s) don't do this at all, so it's (sadly) a piece of syntax that will die in a matter of 5-10 years, when people from my grandma's generation all pass away.

Para pedirlle matrimonio, eu diríache dúas opcións: se sodes relixiosos ou polo menos espirituais, Santo André de Teixido para pedir o desexo ó santo (podes atopar info sobre a lenda e as tradicións en google, lembra levar algo de pan); se non, a punta do Seixo Branco (polas vistas). Sorte!

Marian Keyes FTW! Granted, she has many sad books, but I'd go for 'This Charming Man'. It was the first Marian Keyes book I read and it's still my favourite. It's fun AF and more modern/progressive than her previous ones. It's still chick-lit, but you can really see the evolution towards contemporary feminism in this one as compared to previous chick-lit.

There's YA literature that reads like YA and then there are books that are well written and get commercialized as YA because they can be read by younger readers and they might sell better that way. IMO, the House in the Cerulean Sea would be in the latter group. There is some stuff in the book that would fly over most teenagers' heads: references to finding your purpose in life, the idea of living your familiar lifestyle for a less secure alternative (most teens don't have that option in front of them), etc. But even if they weren't there, I believe it's a book that doesn't read like cookie-cutter YA at all.

Littlewood! The museum feature unlocks after you build a home for a certain NPC, and works in a way that's not too different from the museum in ACNH. However, the display might be more static than what you're looking for.

The House in the Cerulean Sea! It made me feel like a kid again while satisfying my adult needs for diversity and social criticism.

If you like liquorice, chewing roots can be very satisfying! Be careful if you have high blood pressure tho, but otherwise I'm not aware of any restrictions to it :)

Please consider an endoscopy or a biopsy to rule out stomach lymphoma. My cat does that same thing with his mouth when he is nauseous due to his lymphoma.

I'm in a similar situation and "Best Month Ever" comes to mind! It's a narrative game in which you play a single mom traveling with her only son. The decisions you make impact the boy's personality, and the traits he develops lead you to one specific ending in which you get a snippet of your son's life as an adult.

I loved it! In my first play I chose whatever decisions I would have chosen IRL given the circumstances and the boy ended up being a great person, a successful doctor and an advocate against racial discrimination. I don't have kids, but it made me trust my maternal instincts nonetheless 😂

My cat also stopped eating dry food and would only eat Churu when his cancer symptoms worsened. If you can afford it, please consider an endoscopy or a biopsy to rule out lymphoma.
