today I was waiting for someone in my parked car and overheard a guy on a nearby porch say to someone on the sidewalk (I presume a neighbor) "oh that's Eric, he's our housemaid, he practices hockey" and then a few minutes later a dude with a thick beard came out of the house wearing one orange sock and one black sock and started stickhandling what appeared to be a tiny bouncy ball in the driveway. some days this world just chooses joy

doing some weekend woodworking out on the porch, sawing and hammering and so forth, and then two of my neighbors on either side started using power tools within a few minutes of each other, and while I'm sure we were all just independently inspired to work on our own projects it sure did feel like I started a howl

35 for sure, might be a few more I'm not remembering from my youth. my family's pretty big on road-tripping

(used this Sporcle quiz to figure this out and screencap the image, in case that's useful to anyone else)

this seems self-centered you know “stereotypical American bs” but I’m curious

I have been trolling your bookmarks on Ao3 for Winterhawk content and I want to say thank you for introducing me to the fic I just started reading. I’m one chapter in and just holy hell is it good.

glad you found something you liked! fyi my favorite fics are bookmarked on my fandom Pinboard—if I'd anticipated this phenomenon of people using AO3 bookmarks as recs, I might not have set up my systems this way XD

Bill: Listen, dude, I’ll always take care of you through this most unparalleled journey that is our lives

Ted: But babe, it’s a most totally non-triumphant task

Bill: Not to me, dude. Not if it’s you

We've been working with toddler on using his words instead of screaming when something happens that he doesn't like

Which has lead to:

Toddler, upon accidentally dropping a toy: ANGER ANGER ANGER!

even as a small child I understood in a very general sense that the nipple torture scene in The Princess Bride was kinky, but only in retrospect am I seeing the formative impact the whole "as you wish" dynamic had on me. the eye contact in that one scene where she tells him to get her the pitcher that's already within her reach? Westley was a thirsty lil bottom-ass bitch all I'm sayin

do you ever think about how if you dive into the ocean and go deeper and deeper you will pass through layers of darker and darker blue until everything is black and cold and the pressure will be so intense that it will kill you without protection but if you keep going you will find little glowing specks of light, and if you go up into the sky and go higher and higher you will pass through layers of darker and darker blue until everything is black and cold and the pressure will be so intense that it will kill you without protection but if you keep going you will find little glowing specks of light

imagine having taste mainstream enough that you just rely on the fandom zeitgeist to dictate your reading choices. imagine WANTING to screen out all the weird offbeat experimental fic that doesn't get kudos. fuckin wild

Another AO3 thing I’m curious about, how do yall decide if something is good enough to read? Usually I follow a rule of 1 kudos for every 10 hits. One because it’s easy math and two it’s yet to fail me. Thoughts? Do you just go for it and pray it’s good?

So disappointing when I unmute a video of animals and there's stupid music when I hoped the animals might be going eep.
