Gilbert: I can have any girl at this school that I want

Anne: *smashes a slate on his head and vows to never speak to him*

Gilbert: That one, I want that one

I already know I'm going to despise Netflix when I get to the last episode. This show is so stunningly beautiful, I've watched the other Anne Shirley shows and movies and assumed it was the same old thing, but they reached so in depth with these characters, this world.

ANNE WITH AN E Season 2, Episode 1

Café de flore

I can't watch cringey scenes anymore. I'm so embarrassed for the characters. I get it's supposed to be that way for characterization and whatever but why do I have to feel embarrassed too?

I think Christopher's perfect match in the series was the therapist Emily set him up with, because that man desperately needed therapy.

I finished 90's show (I know I'm months behind everyone, pretend I'm on Internet Explorer or AOL Dial up ok). Why did it have to end on a cliffhanger?

I'm so sad/mad it's cancelled. I did not like season 1, it was so painfully cringey sometimes I was so embarrassed for them I had to shut it off. But season 2 felt so much better to me. It finally had time to get some depth. It's not perfect but it was finding what worked. I LOVED Red and Sherry teaming up together. We got to see Leo, and it was pretty funny seeing Jay & Silent Bob. But with the cancelation I will never get my Cheech and Chong reunion 70's never gave us. Season 3 would have been so funny to see Donna (and maybe Eric once or twice) trying to deal with Leia rebelling because as Donna put it-"I know all the places."

I think the scandals hurt it and if it was on TV the way TV used to be it would have benefited from reruns.

The pet skunk joke was pretty cute.

I'm still mid episode, but Red being the coffee shop bouncer is the dream of all customer service jobs that are treated poorly.

oddly enough, i feel relieved. i know now where we stand with this country. i know now that this is a nation that, despite her protestations, does not want to be saved. at this point, i am not sure she can be anyway. but what i do know is that there are people here who still need protecting. there are disabled people here, trans people here, pregnant people here, brown and black people here, queer people here, and as long as my feet rest on american soil, those people are my family and they are worth protecting. so, like, maybe this nation doesn't want to be saved. that's fine. trump and his friends can have whichever parts they lay claim to. but they can't have us. so. if you have breath in your lungs, you're my people, you're my family and i am going to fight for you for as long and as hard as i can. that's all i've got at the moment. we'll figure out the rest together, okay?

I really can't believe we're here again. I am scared. There was the possibility of naivety before but now we should know better. And maybe that's the problem. There's a lot of posts saying we promise we're not all like this, but apparently there are too many who are like this. Apparently white female voters did not show up. I don't know how you felt you could risk it. I didn't vote early because my polling place is 2 minutes from my house, but I voted. We had so many options here to absentee or early vote and we didn't. We let hate, and prejudice win. I've voted Red, I've voted Blue. In any other election it would have been oh sucks my candidate lost. This time I cried. I cried for my Trans friends who are scared of what will be allowed to be done to them, my gay friends who just got married, will it still be valid? My female friends who are afraid to have a baby, get married, have a relationship. My immigrant friends who are here legally but what if they get sent back to a country they don't even remember, my immigrant friends who were born here but their parents were not? My non white friends- what hate and violence is going to be allowed and ignored, that one goes for all of the groups I've mentioned. I am deeply truly scared.

I was raised in a very republican household, my dad DESPISED the Clintons, and in 2016 he voted for Hillary. By God he didn't want to but he did. My Grandma who was in her late 80's from a 1930's republican rural background, voted for Hillary. Not because they liked her (I don't either) but because the alternative was worse. And it was worse. Even I forgot so many of the bad things that happened because there were so many.

My dad was very pro guns. I was involved in 2 different active shooter events. One was at a school. It was 10 years ago and I will forever have that day burned in my mind of 2 girls in my classroom huddling together and crying silently as we wondered if we were going to die. I was the teacher, there was nothing I could do, we had no windows and couldn't run. We were trapped and I wanted to call my grandma to say goodbye. We were okay no one was hurt. The second one in my neighborhood this year, I was okay, others were not. I tell this story because I am still connected to that fear, that memory. And with it is my sole piece of hope right now that there are still those in the House that were there on January 6th, who were scared and threatened. Who wondered if they were going to see their children or families again. My hope is that they sit there and remember how that happened, and who sent the people with guns after them. And that at the very least block project 2025. I don't know if that is a foolish hope, but I do know that we can write and call and do what we can to influence our local representatives. Maybe that will be enough, but we can't do nothing now.

For my friends who live in other countries, I don't know what you see in the news about US, but It does not feel good to be here.

Clean your room. Even if you're an adult try and clean your room or your car or whatever it is that's messy and stressing you out.

I started deep cleaning a room and found some clothes I forgot about, then I found a couple boxes in the laundry I thought were books, and then I found more. I've been sorting by category to super declutter and I'm horrified by the amount of stuff I'm finding. I don't even shop often, but we do hand me downs in the family and... I think I was handed a little too much and didn't realize it because stuff got tucked away for off seasons.

Today was my birthday.

35 it's one that's making me panic, I'm never super excited about my birthday but this one's got me in my feelings.

Stepping away from fandom stuff for a minute;

How do you get out of a funk?

I'm dealing with a few health things, in the grand scheme minor but in the moment I feel bad and I'm exhausted all the time. And I've tried resting but it never feels like I'm rested. I physically can't read books or electronic books/fics for more than maybe 2000ish words at a time. I feel like I can't watch movies or shows much because I can't stay interested. I'm making myself go out once a week for a community thing so I'm not home all the time. My main issue I can't make myself do things I know I need to do like grocery shopping, cleaning, cooking.

I should really block Taylor Swift content on TikTok. Not because I'm no longer a fan, but I keep seeing these theory videos about when Reputation TV is getting announced/released. This last one was SO convincing, they went down the Rabbit Hole and took these threads and linked them and I was CONVINCED it was getting released today on 10/11. I even put it on my birthday list and now I have to explain to my mom why she needs to ignore that (and probably the TV drama) and there's no way I won't sound crazy.

Now there is an hour left so she could still do it. But now I'm sitting here with the rest of the clowns.

I knew I shouldn't have trusted them after I was so sure I would have put money down on her singing Back to December and that Jack White or Eminem would be a surprise guest when she was here for Eras. But they do insane amounts of research and it makes so much sense.

I'm reading When Life Gives You Vampires and the big bad scary vampire keeps sending threating cryptic messages signed

XOXO Giddeon.

It's meant to be a serious threat but all I can hear is Kristen Bell saying XOXO Vampire Gossip Girl.
