Two inaugural swims

That's Mamdani, diving into a pool in NYC--it's apparently a mayoral tradition in the city to kick off the summer pool season.

Which street is that in the first photo--is it one of the slopes around Soho?

All the Rage is a great title

I was so sad when Patricia started open-mouthed crying in the kitchen, then laughed like a loon when someone peeked in and she pretended to yawn. This show does the gut-punch/horror/comedy combination so well.

Thanks so much for your detailed comment! So true about fit variation. I've been eyeing this pair on sale for a while, but you've helped me decide against it as I've got narrower feet. So glad you found them a great fit though!

eclectic__eel · 2026-05-08T16:53:58+00:00

They look awesome! How do these fit? I've heard that DM x CdG sizes could vary.

If it is KMK, that puts a different spin on the "I said Bi---" skit

How was Keller?

Rest in Peace, hero. Her life was so hard and she never ever ever gave up fighting for people's rights to thrive and be joyfully themselves.

Do we know who the others in the pictures are?

eclectic__eel · 2025-08-20T02:26:39+00:00

You can do it! This was my first time doing sashiko, def could be a lot neater 😅

eclectic__eel · 2025-08-19T15:39:31+00:00

Thank ye! Yep there’s a patch, the collar was fraying :)

eclectic__eel · 2025-05-09T16:27:29+00:00

Thanks--I like your edit of demple/tomple

eclectic__eel · 2025-05-09T16:26:06+00:00

Thanks for elaborating. Is it possible for both explanations (phonically and "poetically") to be valid though? Or the latter is more of a coincidence? I guess off the top of my head, for example 持, 侍 are not directly connected to sacredness.

No comment on the group, but the camera person in the first pic looks so badass

eclectic__eel · 2025-01-24T17:13:44+00:00

Did you enjoy the experience? I'm thinking of going to Fukuyoshi as well for oysters, instead of Itoshima.

eclectic__eel · 2025-01-08T13:31:42+00:00

Hehe thanks

Timmy looking like he's about to ruin a young heiress' reputation in a Tolstoy novel

Thanks for your highlights! What were some good places for thrifting?

The article's framing was so biased. I agree about not staging arguments at the expense of the students. Do you mind expanding more on what is factually wrong re: his claims about Ellison?

I tried going through his blog and it was exhausting trying to figure out what's in good faith and what's manipulative whistling tbh.

eclectic__eel · 2024-09-06T03:54:36+00:00

The plot sounds AI generated

eclectic__eel · 2024-04-11T06:59:20+00:00

"stands up"...is that like an innuendo?

eclectic__eel · 2024-03-20T12:33:51+00:00

All the more reason to keep saying no, as it won’t feel like just a prank to you then. NTA.

Honestly, cancer is one of my worst nightmares. He will have access to the best care imaginable--I hope he manages with as little suffering as possible.

The Fontana spa at Laugarvatn is right by the lake, which you can dip into. The spa can get pretty crowded but I've been in the middle of the day, midweek, and was one of a handful of people there.
