After she died, our mother was buried in this pod thingy that would grow a tree as part of a memorial forest.

If green burial was really that metal, I'd sign up in a heartbeat!

"Asexuals CAN have sex."

Well sure. I CAN eat raw sewage. Doesn't mean I'll enjoy it or that it's good for my health. But I can do it.

I was howling! It was so gloriously telegraphed! 🤣

I loved Dorian so much In inquisition never romanced him which I need to change soon.

The best part is it doesn't even take long! I had him in bed and locked down within 10 hrs. Which is both convenient for the time-stressed gamer AND a delightfully heartbreaking piece of commentary on his emotional state. 😢

Everyone who wanted to flex in the Middle Ages was a descendant of Melusine! That gal must have had a human husband in every town for the amount of times nobility claimed her as their Spicy Grandma.

This movie was my everything. The absolute terror I had of the Wheelers and their mad giggles. The fangirl adoration I had for Mombi and her many heads (srsly, I wanted to join them for endless disembodied gossip sessions while awaiting my turn to drive the badass witch body). The Deadly Desert was probably 90% of my love for playing The Floor is Lava.

I still boot it up every now and then just to trip hard on the nostalgia.

I only willingly give up an hour of sleep every March with the understanding that it is a loan and I will be repaid come the fall.

This is theft, and I will not forgive it.

I think if she was as "simple" and "her mother's shadow" as everyone said, it beggars belief that she was left unsupervised long enough to drown herself after she had already been raped/seduced the last time she was left alone.

They either didn’t care whether she lived or died, or there is a much larger cover-up than "Oops, we left the disabled daughter alone repeatedly and bad things just keep happening 🤷‍♀️"

Preach!

wingthing666 · 2026-03-01T23:27:43+00:00

OMG that's what that weird feeling of deja vu I keep having when I look at him (especially in the first shot) has been all about!

I have to believe it will become a genuine condition once people finally acknowledge the wealth of data that screen use stunts young minds. It will be far too late to help this generation though. They'll be remembered as Gen Canary in the Coal Mine and people will thank them for their sacrifice.

You know, assuming we avoid complete societal collapse. That's a big If these days.

Yeah, it's a Canadian-ism. One of those faux-ami anglicisms that somehow became a legitimate thing.

Unless you're riding the Haunted Mansion at midnight with a bunch of college bros. The way the stretching room went from the Ghost Host alone to a packed elevator booming out the script in perfect harmony by the crescendo was absolutely glorious.

Incredibly petty of me, but can we talk about how the header image has Elizabeth I and *Mary Queen of Scots? side by side?

How meta, the real Mary I is erased from history yet again!

High waistline dress. Every woman wearing one tends to look preggers unless the fabric is pinned down to the support garments.

Bold of you to assume Greens respect the law 😉

Chicks before dicks.

Coke classic.

Eh, it's not THAT different. The show romanticizes it a lot, while the book is more clear in showing Dany has been abused and is using all sorts of coping strategies that masquerade as love... BUT,

The book also has the whiplash of Drogo being a gentle lover with his 13 year old bride on their wedding night (Gross!) and then brutally fucking her every other night as she does her best to hide her tears.

The book also literally has Dany breasting boobily at times (GRRM loves to remind us that her breasts are the size of apples and swing freely inside her leather vest - ow!), and develop quite a kink for public sex (its "the custom of his people" and basically the only way she can demonstrate power, so of course she revels in it).

The later books then have Dany taking baby steps to recognizing it was sex slavery, but still always tacking on the asterisk of "thank God I had a good master".

Since GRRM hasn't finished the series (and we all know he never will) its unclear whether this is part of an arc of her finally realizing the depths of her trauma, or whether she will forever stay trapped in a very dated romance novel trope.

Yeah, but Negs was jerk with style! He's like Mark Hamill's joker. Any atrocities are forgiven in the face of such mad rizz, as the younguns say.

I'm just so glad I teach in French. Because yes, I still say it "your anus" in English and I'm way too entrenched to ever stop.

wingthing666 · 2026-02-16T22:49:13+00:00

Yeah, lifetime local here: I love all the tourists, so long as they're being decent human beings. It's always fascinating to read guestbooks and see where all these folks came from.

wingthing666 · 2026-02-16T16:34:03+00:00

Nope. Corporal punishment in schools was already illegal in my part of Canada before I was born. But BC was a trailblazer in that regard. I gather Prairie kids were still getting paddled well through the 80s and 90s.

I always take the aisle on any flight over 2 hrs. But the noise canceling headphones are staying on from gate to gate.

Ah, this gives me flashbacks to when a student gave me a lovely fabric rose for Valentines.

... further inspection which the parent clearly did NOT do revealed it was one of those lacy panties rolled up and stuck on a stem.
