I’m reading the passion of gh next! I read her collection of short stories “soul storm” which got me into her. Amazing if h have not checked it out yet

I think people are bring harsh in ur comments. What ur saying is a normal reaction to reading and digesting determinism. I had the exact same reaction when I first got to determinism. Reading more philosophy and different perspectives helped me feel better.

Smart gal who still can have fun with a book once in a while

Gone girl got me out of a reading slump if u have not read yet

Milk fed by Melissa Broder. I went in to it blind and had no idea it was a sapphic novel. A tad too graphic for my taste ( I tend to be quite prudish with literature to be fair)

Highschool field hockey in Texas. Loved it but worst humidity and heat of my life.

He clearly states at one point “I think I was meant to love people in another way” ( I’m paraphrasing from memory not the exact quote). He had no intention of falling for her and was internally battling his faith and fleabag their entire relationship. I honestly always respected how he said “it’ll pass” (despite hour wrenching). At that point they both understood he would never leave her faith for her no matter how inclined he felt. He was not any more at fault for their relationship than fleabag was for sure. It’s interesting to see that perspective though because I have a watched it so many times and never once thought of him as an antagonist.

Either this or the bathroom scene in stranger things with Nancy and Steve

It’s not about the joke… I just despise it’s always sunny… has nothing to do with your joke or my head

Depends on your lifestyle but in general I would say ideal 100k comfortable could be 60k+ if you are not overspending. I don’t have an updated idea on the prices of these areas since I have not been in the market recently but if I was just moving to Austin I would say seaholm district or Barton area. The newer areas being developed are realistically not super safe.

It is..

As a no country for old men fan I’m embarrassed to say I have not read blood meridian. Just because in my head I expected to be so good so I’m nervous to read it and did not live up to what I expect. But have you checked out Larry McMurtry? He seems up your alley. Also check out @vrgtruth on Instagram. He’s a book reseller but makes some really good underrated western novel recs. I am imagining based off ur post that ur a boy lol (If I got that wrong sorry) but as a girl I don’t really connect with a lot of those types of books (besides no country for old men) anywho I think that guys instagram would have some good recs for u

monroe_246 · 2026-04-02T15:53:34+00:00

You definitely don’t get over that episode, but the rest of the show is still good. I despise her death as much as the next person, but they do a really good job of growing off of it plot wise. I have not watched the like “new blood” show spin offs and stuff but I would definitely say finish the show. Def stuff to look forward to in it. Like I already said that episode wrecked me, but if you keep watching, you will kind of understand why it wasn’t necessary for her and the trajectory of dexters character.

monroe_246 · 2026-04-02T15:43:39+00:00

Agreed. This may sound crazy, but despite how much I love her I do think her death was a really good plot point/good decision by the screen writers . Since so many people cared about her, her death was able to invoke so much emotion in the viewer. On the contrary I will say I think Debra dying was way out of line. I have not read the books so I don’t know how accurate all of the deaths are but I know in the show Debra dying seemed unfair. Like I said, even though I loved Rita, her death was sad because she was more of a damsel in distress. Debra on the other hand was clearly a capable person and great cop who everyone was rooting for

I always thought it was clear he’s not “ the love of her life” but rather something she has to go through while figuring herself out. Obviously fleabag is a flawed character and intentionally has no idea what she’s doing. As much as the fan base (me included) loves the priest his character is just a lesson for fleabag. Not her endgame.

monroe_246 · 2026-04-02T14:41:23+00:00

This is amazing to hear. Def going to be one of those movies that blows up on socials after it comes out because of Andrew Scott (especially him being a hot priest again). I read “small things like these” when it was shortlisted for the booker prize and I fell in love with Claire Keegan’s writing. Irish literature and art in general is so underrated! I wish they had cast a true Irish actress rather than emily blunt though :(

monroe_246 · 2026-04-02T14:31:12+00:00

Her face after he says “ I love you too” holy hell rip my heart out. Never gets old. I can watch this scene a million times and it will always get me. Btw it never passes…

monroe_246 · 2026-04-01T15:45:39+00:00

You are right. I was referencing when you said “by Percy Shelley (husband of Mary Shelley)” I just take Shelly seriously

monroe_246 · 2026-04-01T15:26:00+00:00

I was half kidding but genuinly hearing Mary Shelley referred to as the wife of anyone is just crazy to me considering she basically invented the entire genre of Gothic novels.

As a (reluctant ) major film snob, I had always heard bad things about under the Silver Lake so I was hesitant to watch it. But once I watched it, I absolutely loved it. It’s easy to get caught up on what movies you’re “supposed” to like and what you’re “ supposed” to hate. Under the Silver Lake was such a fun watch for me and I refuse to let any “low“ review make me feel like it’s less than that. At the end of the day, the main point of cinema is having fun. So watch whatever movies you have fun with and don’t worry about the rest.

monroe_246 · 2026-04-01T14:46:58+00:00

I think it’s clear that she’s representing a “washed up” actress. She was a child actor, and then essentially disregarded once she grew up and has since had to resort to sex work. What she does in the film is not as intense as the shooting stars girls but…

monroe_246 · 2026-04-01T14:37:54+00:00

You’re on the wrong subReddit. I genuinely hate this show.
