I've been looking for a dog for a while now, and I wish transports were more common/affordable. I don't think I'm being too picky, but I want one that look like what they're supposed to and for some reason those are not common in my area apparently. They're common in shelters all over the south and in California and South West but not as much in the mid west.

Can someone tell me if I'm wrong, did I miss it.

The test run of the Inn episode. Jason and Luke talk, Jason says he and Lorelai are dating then goes to the bathroom.

Luke and Lorelai argue on the front porch because he thinks she's taken, they kiss. Kirk runs through them/the town naked.

Jump to Rory

Jump to back at the Inn Kirk was apprehended and is on the couch.

These are all facts but we never see Jason leave. There's no he walks out and sees them kissing and sulks away, there's no argument. He's just trapped inside that bathroom forever doomed to haunt it for eternity.

Basically all of the writers on here I follow, and myself. Whatever we're cute.

I got Hulu as a Christmas gift- what movies/shows should I watch? Trying to avoid murder shows right now but open to pretty much anything except Reality. Scifi, drama, comedy, historical, home decor.

I constantly have stomach issues so I'm used to that. I got some minor raspatory virus from a coworker and damn I am not built for this. Cough meds do nothing, I reek of vapor rub, and when I try to sleep it feels like my throat is closing up. I have found Ted Lasso clips on youtube are super endearing.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist kind of person but TikTok is back and I don't feel content with it. It was down for 12 hours. That is a suspiciously short amount of time. But long enough for a server switch according to tech people. And there's something about it, my FYP seems normal-ish but it feels like big brother is watching you. There's just something that feels off.

[crimsinsky]

I was watching a livestream as TikTok shut down in the US. It feels like the starting of a dystopian novel, but it's been building for a while. They're staying that it will be back shortly but the worry is that Meta just bought it, things were a little different today. I actually cried over this. Not because it's an app, because it was a symbol of so many things.

It helped save me after I lost my grandmother, I couldn't do anything. But I could go on there and scroll and for a few minutes I was distracted enough to not be miserable, maybe laugh, to not feel alone. I didn't have community around me when it happened, and I was completely alone. I ended up on a "watch this when you're having a bad day" videos and I found comfort.

I am in animal rescue and SO many rescues, and small businesses use TikTok to help their businesses. I was even going to try that myself until I got injured last year.

And the one that I think is causing most of the tears, what is this hiding? The message we got as it went dark was Trump was going to work with them to save it. Ok but what does that mean? Who is going to own it now? What is going to be pushed? Is this 1984 and I can keep my app as long as my mouth stays shut? I don't like that not knowing. If they're taking this app away despite so many people protesting the ban, what else are they going to ignore us on? What is the whole Ban really a diversion of? And then there are reports that mass deportations are going to start on Tuesday in Chicago. I personally don't believe in Illegal human beings. People made up imaginary lines hundreds of years ago. Most of us are here because our ancestors just showed up here. It was bad last time, I can't imagine it will be better this time. I've been scared and I still am and I don't really know what to do about any of it.

As an aside corporate accounts were rebelling this weekend.

Rotten Tomatoes (my favorite) posted: Les Misérables Do You Hear The People Sing

Sony: posted The Social Network: Andrew Garfield's character yelling at Mark Zuckerberg then smashing his laptop.

I hope I look back at this post one day and think it's funny how worried I was because I overreacted. I really hope I do.

🛌

🛌 What's a trope you haven't written, but want to?

I don't think I've written it and it is SO cheesy but "Only One Bed" oh no lol.

My other is "Who Did This to You" I might have done that one.

I am a simple basic girl.

[crimsinsky]

I know a lot of my followers are a bit younger than me and I have to tell you that chances are if you're on Tumblr you have some level of weirdness, this isn't the cool app and I have to tell you.

BE FREAKING WEIRD!!!!

I grew up in an era of- What not to wear- "you must be professionally boringly dressed at all time because wearing heels and a skirt to do construction work is expected. Don't be individual. That niche hobby you have- if you must not do it, don't make it a big deal. Those bands you like- don't fangirl over them jeez."

Again BE FREAKING WEIRD- I've had things in my life that kept me from really figuring out what I like or who I am as an individual.

Wear the weird clothes if you like them. I found I like silly novelty earrings. I get lots of compliments on them when I wear them.

Like the weird bands/shows/movies- you have to watch them. I mean Weird Al has made a career of playing polka music and rewording other people's music. That's pretty odd and people love him.

Bind books, bee keep, collect obscure art, knit sweaters out of yarn you sourced from your neighbors' Llamas (ask permission first), I can't tell you the number of people who have no problem telling me all about their workouts, I would so much rather learn about your unique interest. If it's not all that unique- ok and? Do you enjoy it? Still tell me about it.

If you aren't hurting anyone do what you enjoy, and live.

[crimsinsky]

if you think commenting on fics is dumb, someone binged a bunch of my stories since yesterday and left very short comments on them. Some just a heart, a crying face, only 3 had words and I'm sitting here making the equivalent of this face :3 feeling like someone hugged me for the first time in months.

So yeah, leave the comments

[crimsinsky]

I need to learn this lesson SO badly. People expect it now, to the point I've been injured. Don't be like me, stand your ground, don't be a doormat or people pleaser they'll still walk all over you even if you help them.

Stop sacrificing your needs and being so considerate of people who don't consider you. This can lead to anger, frustration, resentment, and sadness. Meet your needs first. Do what's best for you and disappoint those who expect you to put yourself last and do what's best for them.

[crimsinsky]

Just waiting patiently for the surprise drop of Reputation TV. So like any time now is good. (She is mocking our pain)

[crimsinsky]

I'm often up past midnight because I have insomnia and struggle to fall asleep. But it's generally ok, it's quiet and peaceful.

Now you have these people blasting fireworks, making noise. This is why we can't have nice things. I have to work in the morning. This will go on for the next week or 3 here. Peasants.

(I am not a fan of NYE in case you couldn't tell)

Well here we are, fam. The 2024 presidential election has happened and the outcome was not great.

We took some time to be angry. To be scared. To grieve. We checked in on our community and practiced some highly necessary self-care. Then we spent several cathartic hours scrolling through r/LeopardsAteMyFace. We hope you did too.

Now we’re ready for the next step. For we have chosen to stay and fight. Part of that means embracing our calling as your beloved yet humble Bitches—your opinionated internet aunties—by sharing ideas on how we can prepare to weather the coming storm.

It might not be much of a storm! Could be anywhere from a little light rain to a Category 5 hurricane. But it’s our belief that you should prepare for the worst in such a way that even in the best case scenario, you’ll still end up better off.

This guide includes some instructions specific to a second Trump administration (three words I gag even writing). But some of it is just good practice no matter what happens.

Keep reading.
