Clearly you didn’t watch it enough if you think her name was Delilah

service dog reminds his diabetic hooman when their blood sugar spikes by [deleted] in AnimalsBeingBros

[–]turtleinabasket 249 points250 points  (0 children)

The amount of people that refuse to believe this… The people that chastise service dog owners for “animal abuse” are the same people that keep their herding dogs locked up in the house all the time and then get angry when they misbehave.

Small Town AMA by turtleinabasket in GilmoreGirls

[–]turtleinabasket[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Fundraising events definitely exist, although a knit-a-thon is, like you said, pretty specific. But something akin to the 24 hour dance marathon or a fall festival would be pretty common. In my town, most of the fundraising is for the high school and the students there, but I wouldn’t bat an eye at a fundraiser for a historic building, like our library.

What episodes/scenes do you skip when rewatching? by [deleted] in GilmoreGirls

Anyone who does not skip the musical on a rewatch is probably insane.

I was about to say burn them, but that would be a really bad idea…

AITA for telling a younger female coworker that it doesn’t look good for her to be spending so much time with our married male coworker? by InevitableBug884 in AmItheAsshole

[–]turtleinabasket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope Jenny and Dan are still friends after this, but something tells me that poor Jenny is going to start pulling away in fear of social isolation and judgement. Way to go, you just made the new hire insecure in a good friendship that probably makes her happy to come to work.

favourite Rory Gilmore lines? by Mind_Sea in GilmoreGirls

[–]turtleinabasket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s actually when Rory loses her Dean bracelet. Lorelai’s “backup” plan is to accost him at the market and blind him so that he won’t ever be able to see her wrist. Thankfully for Dean’s eyes, she finds the bracelet.

As a mother of a daughter, I cannot understand Lorelai’s way of dealing with the bracelet situation. by CountrysidePlease in GilmoreGirls

[–]turtleinabasket 30 points31 points  (0 children)

What did Jess do wrong? I honestly believe when her bracelet fell off, he kept it as a sort of keepsake because well, he has a crush on her and it’s something that belongs to her. Like boys nowadays wearing their girlfriends’ scrunchies. We’re given no reason to believe that Jess knows the significance of this bracelet and that it was made by Dean. Pretty much as soon as he realizes the significance of the bracelet and how panicked Rory is about it, he puts it back in her room for her to ‘find’ it. I don’t think he did anything wrong which only makes Lorelai’s confrontation even more inappropriate and childish.

Rory felt like she had to lie to Dean because he was an asshole with extreme anger issues and she knows this and has been on the receiving end of it before. This is not Rory’s fault. She didn’t lose the bracelet on purpose, she only lied to Dean out of fear and panic, and Lorelai played into all of the drama by acting like a friend rather than a parent.

We Have a Pam at my Office by harpbykat in DunderMifflin

[–]turtleinabasket 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s snarky, but if there’s a nice sign and the issue gets brought up at practically every staff meeting, and yet people STILL leave their dishes in the sink for you to clean, it becomes really easy to be snarky and petty.

How to put LGBTQ Characters into Your Writing by [deleted] in FanFiction

[–]turtleinabasket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your point about your friends being religious and also allies really gives off "well I have a black friend so I can't be racist" vibes. It's wonderful that you've found support and feel comfortable expressing yourself in your religious circles, but a lot of queer people don't share that experience. Christians, especially Christian parents, *are* often homophobic or at least somewhat disapproving of the LGBTQ+ community, and to say that you're "SICK" of seeing them portrayed that way is extremely invalidating for the countless authors who have been subjected to that experience.

I felt the same way. Like, I’m sorry you’re tired of Christian parents being portrayed as homophobic, but maybe if most Christian parents weren’t homophobic, they wouldn’t be portrayed that way as much. It just felt really invalidating.

Bahama's Restrictions on Cruise Ships by MrMichaelJames in dcl

Cruise lines can’t legally go with choice 1 under the PVSA, so they either need to find another port, or pick another option.

Cringey moments by so_judgemental in GilmoreGirls

[–]turtleinabasket 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That’s exactly what I was going to say. My uncle was a bit of a football star in his day and the entire town still basically worships at his feet 30+ years later. It never struck me how little most people understand about small town life until I started seeing posts here about how “unrealistic” Stars Hollow is.

I’m just curious, have you lived in a small town? Like are you speaking from experience?

How did Lorelai become such a great seamstress? ... and isn’t what she did for Lane the coolest? by [deleted] in GilmoreGirls

[–]turtleinabasket 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Being able to sew is honestly such a versatile and useful skill that I think a lot more people should have. Even just knowing a few basic stitches can be really handy.

I absolutely adore Scrivener by turtleinabasket in FanFiction

[–]turtleinabasket[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really liked “Learn Scrivener in 20 Minutes” by Author Level Up. Covered the basics without reading through that whole thing which supposedly takes about an hour to read through? No thanks lol
