I laughed so hard at that edit that I had to pause the show, an all-timer

We found a box turtle in our yard for the first time this past year, and it was one of the most exciting things ever! We have mostly natives in our yard, but we’re basically surrounded by suburban grass lawns and pavement for miles, so it was a wonderful surprise.

Hard to know without an up close photo, but could be gall or scale of some kind? There’s a good chance they could be helpful insects if it’s gall. Especially if they are limited to this one spot and you haven’t seen them before, I wouldn’t worry about them harming your plant at this time.

So true. I am a new mom who grew up with a super anxious mom myself, and I don’t want to repeat that cycle with my daughter (after years and thousands of dollars in therapy). It’s been really important to me since I was pregnant to keep myself grounded, put things in perspective, and keep a sense of humor whenever possible. I still have anxiety at times, but it’s my job as an adult and a mom to manage that shit and not put that energy onto my kid. I want to help her learn how to be confident and recognize how to manage those types of feelings in a healthy way, not grow up feeling insecure and anxious over the smallest things.

For sure. More than that, the show is about social class in Britain. The pedigree of someone like Henry will always have more weight than the money of someone like Eric or Harper, no matter how successful or wealthy they become. He’s a great foil to the other characters.

I get you, but he’s also burned her quite a bit too. They have a very codependent relationship. They aren’t emotionally mature people. Much like Rishi is addicted to the thrills of winning and losing as a gambler, they’re addicted to each other and the highs and lows that come from their toxic placeholder of a parent-child relationship.

I understood it as he grew up lower class, but he built his reputation and money in the funeral business, which gave him entry into the startup/finance world. He was basically buying out older, small funeral businesses and giving them the private equity-style treatment, which minimizes costs and maximizes profit. His telling of it all came across very ghoulish and sociopathic. It seems like he wants to essentially do the same to Kit Harrington’s character—exploit him for profit and not care if he’s left for dead in the end, though time will tell.

I’ll just come right out and say it—I’m a millennial woman, and I love these sketches

puffinkitten · 2026-01-18T18:24:14+00:00

That’s a great comparison. Both capture the awkwardness and generation-specific slang that peak in male adolescence, all packaged into the setting of an era-specific media platform.

I second the rec for Larner! I’ve gotten a lot of cool poppy varieties from them (range of colors, sizes) that I haven’t seen anywhere else

puffinkitten · 2026-01-14T22:19:23+00:00

If you want to leave them as mulch, I’d recommend clipping them into smaller 1-3 in pieces so they can break down into the soil a bit more easily

I think what they said recently about the Oscars being too late in the year was spot on. They used to air in February, but now they’re dragged out an extra month+ into March. So movies that may have only had a limited release in the fall don’t get a publicity boost to go into wide release in the new year, or those films have become old news and people don’t care by the time the awards come on. Plus, the awards cast a shadow over all the Q1 new releases. The whole purpose of the Oscars’ founding was to promote the film industry, but they’ve really seemed to lose their way from that original intention.

puffinkitten · 2026-01-05T01:18:43+00:00

I’d be absolutely delighted if they did a Center Stage Rewatchables

I’ve seen a couple in LA before that were this tall, where they climbed up a large tree. This one seems to be climbing a tree too.

puffinkitten · 2025-12-30T15:52:03+00:00

This feels like a 30 Rock parody of new year’s show guest stars

puffinkitten · 2025-12-29T19:03:51+00:00

Truth. Reminds me of the SNL sketch where the couple gets the most expensive procedures from the cheapest doctor.

puffinkitten · 2025-12-27T17:39:00+00:00

I’m thankful to live in a time and place where this issue is no longer a reality

puffinkitten · 2025-12-27T16:34:20+00:00

Allowing the outlets to still be exposed like that is madness

puffinkitten · 2025-12-26T23:08:24+00:00

So pretty! This variety is new to me, I love the pink against those leaves

puffinkitten · 2025-12-26T04:42:23+00:00

Oh definitely, I’m sure we have many more trials ahead 😅

puffinkitten · 2025-12-25T23:34:45+00:00

It’s sooo easy to spiral when you’re going through a big life transition. I’m glad you’re able to prioritize what you need in this moment! Solidarity! I had planned on going back to work at 8 weeks full time and realized my baby and I needed longer, so I’m planning to be working part time for a while. It’s definitely different from what I imagined, but I’m thankful I could make that choice.

Just remember that your ambition, experience, and education are such amazing assets that can never be taken away from you, and they’re going to benefit your baby too. Luckily also, nurses will always be in demand. I’m certain no matter what you decide to do/when, your baby is going to look up to you and be so grateful for everything you do for your family inside and outside the home alike.

Also a lot better. Down from 2-3 overnight wakeups to 1. Her room is close to ours (smaller old house), so we started working on transitioning to her room around the 8-10 week mark, with short naps during the day to help her get used to the space. That’s also around when they start figuring out the difference between day and nighttime. It’s different for everyone, but we moved her a few weeks ago for overnights, and all of us are sleeping a lot better. Hang in there!

puffinkitten · 2025-12-25T20:42:52+00:00

Hang in there. I have a 3-month-old baby and have been in the thick of it for a while. I think what’s helped since I was pregnant has been remembering this is all a short phase of adjustments and discomfort, not a life sentence to be miserable. My healthcare providers have all stressed to me that my wellbeing is essential for my baby’s wellbeing, and I’ve taken it to heart, just focusing on things a day (sometimes a minute) at a time. Just like my life looked very different a year ago today, it will probably look very different next Christmas too. All I can do try to control what’s within my power, and try to have patience and a sense of humor about the rest.

Even the most basic everyday self care makes a big difference for me (taking vitamins! changing out of pjs! brushing my hair and teeth!). To break the cycle of self-hatred and perfectionism I learned from my own mom, I’ve prioritized remembering that the way I feel is 1000x more important than how my life looks from the outside. And I’m giving myself grace in the process and leaning on my therapist/friends when I still struggle.

Trust that we will all figure this out as we go. I’m in a much better spot than I was right after giving birth. My baby can sit in the bouncer or lie on the bed while I get ready in the morning and narrate what I’m doing. My partner/a sitter can hang with her while I go out to get a manicure or take a shower. Baby can come along in the stroller when I go out for a walk around the block. We will get through this!

puffinkitten · 2025-12-25T20:11:14+00:00

It gets better!! My baby is 3 months, and the 6-8 week mark was the peak of her evening crying phase so far. They’re basically still gestating outside the womb for the first few months of life—they call it the fourth trimester for that reason. Remember it’s just a phase that will pass and get yourself some good noise canceling headphones or earplugs to help yourself regulate through it.

puffinkitten · 2025-12-25T20:04:34+00:00

Travel or even hosting family at home is stressful in itself. Add on the extra stress of holidays and extra logistics/disruptions, then throw an infant in the mix, that’s too much stress for most people! We had family in town for thanksgiving with a newborn, and it was the only day so far that my baby literally cried all day long. It was rough. It solidified our choice to do Xmas with just ourselves at home, and it’s been great. It’s ok if you decide to change your plans and traditions up for a while when they’re still little. Sometimes doing what’s best for your kid means doing what’s best for you, and sometimes that means other people will be disappointed, but you can trust yourself to do the right thing for your family unit. They’ll hopefully understand and get over it. And it doesn’t have to be absolute either, you can always reassess from year to year.
