No one:

Romance writers: she was NOT LIKE OTHER GIRLS she was DOWN TO EARTH she never wore MAKEUP and wasn't interested in FANCY CLOTHES and she liked PIZZA and BEER

I was listening to SOPHIE (Whole New World/Pretend World) and every five seconds the audio would change and I was like "wow this is really cool and avant-garde" but I was just scrolling through Instagram and the post audios were playing

I hate Zeke from Bob's Burgers. I hate him so much lol. I can't describe to you how much he fills me with disgust. I hate his stupid nickname for Jimmy Jr. (J-Ju); I hate his "IM GONNA GETCHA" catchphrase, especially when he uses it for Tina, and I hate how he's always idiotically WWE-ing the shit out of Jimmy Jr. I actively want terrible things to happen to him every time he's onscreen.

I didn't think I had daddy issues growing up but I now realize it's not normal for your father to refer to your mother as "It" and the "monster."

@samreich thank you for Gastronauts. I just finished episode 1 and I really, really loved it. I have really been struggling with my mental health lately and so I think of one good thing every day that makes me motivated to keep living. Today Gastronauts was that thing. I'm so glad I subscribed to Dropout and I know the shows are really going to help boost my mood and bring a sense of comfort during the holidays. Tomorrow I think my reason is going to be Very Important People.

Thanks again for all you do.

plot twist I got so sick of seeing this baby jelly bean in my feed that I muted the tags on tumblr and insta

I loved the wheelbarrow photo so much that I tried to paint it. I used Winsor and Newton gouache.

Once again it rained all day and the sun only appeared in the early evening... At least this unusual June weather gives the pasture a wonderful rainy-flowery smell. ♡ I hadn't socialised with my animals all day so I ended up walking around with my glass of apéritif saying hello to various creatures. The hens were busy hunting evening insects (can you spot the hen in one of the pics?), frogs kept grumpily jumping out of my way in the wet grass, and I interrupted the cats in the middle of a conversation. Only my loyal donkey looked pleased to see me and followed me around devotedly (I had rosemary breadsticks in my pocket)

I love Falsettos; I do, but as someone who attended therapy for almost a decade, I'd really love for there to be a world in which Mendel loses the SHIT out of his therapist's license.

Um, Grace Hopper (computer programming) and Hedy Lamar (Wi-Fi and Bluetooth), anyone??? Windshield wipers? Kevlar? Stainproofing? The entire genre of horror fiction? The world's first novel?

seriously is there a photographer selling a hi res print?? I need to frame it and display it in my home.

I just want to be in a position where if I lose my job it's not a life-ruiningly chaotic event that causes massive trauma that takes years to climb out of.

I will never get tired of seeing this baby jelly bean in my feed I love her so much

chappel roan’s got this sudden very huge burst of attention and since then she has

shown up to jimmy fallon in full drag

shown up to her concerts in even zainier outfits than before

worn a nun costume to one concert and when people were uncomfortable she was like good. toodles!

very clearly stated she will retreat from the public eye if she feels threatened by her fame

put very firm boundaries in place, not caring how that might make her look in today’s ass backward society that thinks artists owe everyone everything

she really is trying the hardest to do this in her own terms, in this industry that pretty much allows no wiggle room when it comes to being as big as she’s gotten. it’s clear to me she doesn’t care about maintaining the level of notoriety she has now, she cares about connecting to the subset of people who her art has always been aimed at and that is it. and i find it so admirable! it must be really hard to get what every artists out there is trying to and not let yourself get influenced by it, but she is remaining steadfastly herself. it’s so refreshing and it makes me like her so much more

I feel like the problem with the Chappell Roan concert cancellations was mainly late-stage capitalism. She didn't blow off concerts to party. She had to cancel a work event for another work event. If people made a living wage, with fair time off, the concert cancellations wouldn't have been as devastating.

“I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world" is so Maurice and Alec❤️

The bit where Jamie beats Claire in Outlander still fills me with rage. Here's how I wish it would have gone down:

"No," I say, holding him at bay with my dagger. "The moment you lay a hand, nay, a *finger* on me in anger is the moment you cease to be my husband. And if you decide still yet to beat me, then it had better be to the death, for I should rather die than to be tied to such hateful, cruel scum. And if I do not die, I shall make your life miserable until the day I take your life. I shall see to it that you depart this life in the most painful manner possible. I shall rip out your bollocks with a rusted spoon, and the shaft thereof I shall cut off bit by bit with a dull ax. Choose wisely, Jamie Fraser."
