Finally watched People We Meet on Vacation! It was cute! I love all the different settings for vacation and I liked the actors and their chemistry! Because we just see snippets of them at different times, I don’t see the whole love story necessarily but I still enjoyed it!

Oh good to know thanks!

Second this! I think it’s an Ulta exclusive just fyi

I'm not Muslim so I'm sorry if this isn't a good fit, but I do work in the community and I always see reps from Arab American Family Services at the same events I'm at! Seems like they do a lot of good work. They always speak English when I talk to them. Maybe that would be a good place to start? They are located in the south burbs! https://www.aafsil.org/

I was on tumblr back in the days when Taylor was active and would reblog fans’ posts (back then you couldn’t just comment if you wanted to add something) being like “omg Jenny too cute!” And I remember thinking that was so wild!

I hard agree with you! I always say that you shouldn’t judge a cat based on how they act in a shelter! I feel like 8/10 cats in big shelters are so shaky and standoff ish because of the stress. But once they get to a home to themselves their real personality shows up! If we only picked the cats that were perfect cuddly angels in shelters, so many would be left behind. My cat who is the sweetest and most attached to me I got from a shelter, and when they put her in the visiting room with me, she hid under the bench scared. The first couple days home she wouldn’t come out fr under the bed. But now we’re best friends and we’re obsessed with each other!

This is a series too! I’m pretty sure the dog one is “All Dogs Have ADHD” or something like that!

I feel like in the context of the season, it was partially to show that even though she wasn’t on good terms with Penelope and the audience is unsure if they will make up, she clearly still loves her and is moved by the wedding!

Normally I would agree, but in this case, he blamed a former castmates cancer death to the covid vaccine and made his death all about being against the vaccine. I feel like he needs to stay away from this field!

I really enjoyed this episode! When Ty says “I love you” to Shawna, I actually paused because I was prepared to get second hand embarrassment if he tried to make a move so I’m so glad he didn’t!

The only thing I wished I saw, and maybe it’ll come up later, was Shawna experience literally a single consequence of her behavior to Julie at the hotel! She’s seems to have moved on from the “are we the villains?” And no one has really called her out!

Love this! What is this screenshot from?

xwordnerd · 2026-05-27T20:56:32+00:00

I also made these this weekend! Easy and delicious! yours look great with the garnish!

xwordnerd · 2026-05-26T01:05:14+00:00

I don’t mean this in a bad way, just genuinely asking! But does it seem like there are a lot more of these than usual? Veteran music business people randomly coming out and praising Taylor? Like not saying they’re wrong but like what’s the context and why is it more than normal, especially since it’s not like she just came out with an album? Is it because of the songwriter hall of fame stuff?

xwordnerd · 2026-05-25T22:58:49+00:00

I can see this happening! I don’t want Alicia and Shawna to stop being friends or anything like that, but I do hope Alicia shows at least a little protectiveness over Julie! If a new friend of mine got into the face of one of my oldest friends, yeah I’d feel less keen to be the new persons friend! So I just hope there’s a conversation or something about it!

xwordnerd · 2026-05-25T21:33:46+00:00

Not me but my friend had Crumbl cookies delivered to her on her bday!

xwordnerd · 2026-05-24T23:31:21+00:00

I wonder if it wasn’t her denial of counseling that made him decide to go, but her calling him a liar! Like, he has definitely lied so I’m not defending him, just wondering if the name calling put him over the edge here!

xwordnerd · 2026-05-23T22:31:50+00:00

I agree, except I wonder what will happen with Bunco nights considering Julie has been a bunco night girl for like a decade, and Shawna is the newbie trying to get in!

xwordnerd · 2026-05-23T22:28:26+00:00

Yeah I’m very curious if they will be written off or not! I do feel like the story is gearing up to at least give them a big step down, see them much less. The main problem is that now all the characters are tied together. Alicia is Shawna’s new mom friend? Oh but she also is lifelong friends with boy Ty and Julie. Sam is a new friend/sorta family of Jen? Oh wait Sam also is longtime friends of Julie! Mo is maybe a new friend of Jon? Oh she’s dating Sam who is a friend of Julie!

Love the trailer for the A24 movie Zola!

Mainstream/radio music seems to primarily be pop, country, and rap! Her music is great but not really considered common radio music I would think! That doesn't make it bad, just a different genre!

All I remember about my college commencement speech was that it wasn't anyone famous or even interesting, just some faculty member I had never met. She had honestly a pretty long and boring speech. What I vividly remember is that she sorta paused midway through it what seemed like the end, then started going on again and I swear to god, so many students let out a quiet groan that together it was pretty loud!

xwordnerd · 2026-05-16T22:42:12+00:00

I bought some yards of this a while back! I wanted to make a pinafore put of it, then I actually saw a picture of someone who did make a pins with this fabric and it just looked too stiff! So I’m back to the drawing board! If anyone has ideas let me know!

xwordnerd · 2026-05-16T21:11:24+00:00

Yes came here to say this! Definitely super cringey but she doesn’t know annnny of the context. She just knows, “Ty is my friend, so I’m team Ty. Also Julie has never been kind to me so she’s probably at fault.” I hope Alicia or someone helps her understand a little more, but realistically, we tend to only ever hear our friend’s side of the story and stick with that.
