Update: they got Ilona Maher too, I’m so seated.
Once again deviating from the original purpose of this blog because my favorite US-based story from this Olympics (Pommel Horse Guy) is going to be on Dancing with the Stars…guess I actually have to watch it now.
#olympics#dancing with the stars#ilona maher#stephen nedoroscik#the rest of the cast list is kinda meh#but hopefully it’s a fun season at least

FULL offense, but if you come in my inbox talking about how these teenage girls or low income women with kids should go through a nine month pregnancy against their will because they can "just adopt" you're getting blocked, like you're beyond help
unless you agree to sit down and say that to the face of that scared, pregnant 16 y/o, who received no sex ed in their isolated religious community, who could be cut off from everyone they've ever known for *kissing* a boy ffs (and that's hoping to god that the father is just that and not someone who abused this child), then you don't get an opinion I'm sorry.
what the fuck do YOU do to help all these women and babies you have so many opinions about???? if the answer is only "pray" get the fuck out of the conversation.
#this this this#all of this#this is a pro choice blog#and if you have a problem with that then fuck right the hell off

Okay but how did they:
A. Get 500 people to show up for a Thursday afternoon/evening wedding
and
B. Have minimal info leaks about the wedding before today?
Some things of note from the exclusive
They did date briefly in 2021 around the time Hannah and Jeremiah were courting but, they broke things off
They reconnected earlier this year and got engaged June 15th
They had a FIRST DANCE, a Duggar first
#19 kids and counting#counting on#jana duggar#stephen wissman#duggar family#granted half of those 500 guests are probably just their family members#but still

i ask this in 100% good faith as sometimes who's just read over Trump's 2025 manifesto: what the fuck are we supposed to do
like i know the big call is to not vote for Biden or Trump and trust me I do not want to vote for Joe, but the manifesto is going after the rights of women, pregnant people, every type of person under the LGBTQ umbrella, POC, and in a political climate where Roe v. Wade was overturned i feel like it's completely possible that he'd be able to achieve at least some of that so
is there a 3rd party candidate I don't know about?? or what is the plan here bc tbh as a queer person and someone who was planning to be pregnant in the next year I'm scared as hell like are we really just not voting? It's 7 months out and I feel like no one is agreeing on what to do

Not to be dramatic but if Sarah Snook doesn’t win an Emmy after this season of Succession I’ll fight network execs with my bare hands.
#succession#sarah snook#for legal reasons this is a joke#but seriously she better win one it is overdue

Back from the void.
I just booked two wedding dress try-on appointments today, somehow both nervous and excited for the whole process (and it only took four months of being engaged to stop procrastinating and actually plan).
Trying not to think about how if I were a fundie, I would probably be walking down the aisle this weekend given how short most fundie engagements are…meanwhile, I still couldn’t tell you what I want my day to look like beyond a couple vague Pinterest pins.
Fourteen(ish) months to go, and I promise I will talk about something that’s not my wedding at some point.
…maybe. We’ll see.
#it still hasn’t hit me that I’m gonna be a Married Adult(TM) in the next couple years#typing out Married Adult like that made me feel like bethany from girl defined which is…oof#anyway i’m not gonna dwell on that#still have to actually reach back out to my potential caterer too oops#if any of y’all have tips for wedding planning PLEASE send help

An update:
General Life Update Time
…anyone still read this?
I’m back(ish), though not really super on the fundie snark train as much as I used to be.
Life has been hectic for a couple reasons, which is why I haven’t been active much on here.
Reason #1: New Job
I’m currently wrapping up the last two weeks of my one-year term job, and I start a new position with better pay and more benefits at the end of August.
I’m based out of the Midwest, and the new position is in a medical facility doing neurological research — the medical facility is also tied with a large public university, which also means at the start of the winter term I’ll be eligible to (maybe, I need to double check) start taking graduate school classes at a much less expensive rate than possible before. TBD what I’m going back to school for, as I’ve narrowed it down to two paths, but it’s the closest I’ve come to continuing my education beyond my bachelor’s at this point so I’ll take it.
The issue on the table: the new job is an hour away from home, so that means there’s a couple options: commute and rack up a gas bill, or…
Reason #2: Moving Out
It’s been in the works for months but if all goes well tomorrow (some final details I have to secure before it’s confirmed) I will be moving out of my mom’s house in about a month — hopefully for good, but at least for a while.
I’m excited to move out and have more control over my living environment, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous. Moving out means (among other things) figuring out new doctors, finding the nearest grocery store, locating a mechanic for my car, and buying furniture and holy fuck are couches expensive.
On the flip side, it means getting to live full-time with my partner of 4.5 years, maybe getting to adopt a cat or two, and being one step closer to potentially getting married (since my partner and I have agreed we wouldn’t bring it up in a more serious context until I figured out my job + living situation), which is all good stuff.
In conclusion:

An update:
I’ve proposed multiple resources/courses that are less expensive than Ramsey’s (which is $130/year to keep access to his apps + coursework) and have less of a religious bend to them, but apparently all the suggestions I make despite putting time and effort into looking for what I want to be a reasonable compromise are unworthy of serious pursuit.
If I had a dollar for every time my family crawled into my business asking if I was interested in Dave Ramsey’s financial course when I think the man is a pile of steaming garbage, I’d have $2.
Not a lot, but weird it’s happened twice.

I love the drop earrings with the sunburst drop in the middle (it matches the necklace without being too matcha-matchy) but the simple teardrop emeralds are also really pretty and would be less likely to “take away” from the necklace.
If your dress is more blinged-out/lacy/elaborate, go for the simpler earrings to make the dress the focal point; if your dress is relatively simple (ie, a Katie Bates classic satin A-line/ball gown type vibe), bling out with the earrings.
Have u sorted accessories for ur wedding day? I know u were deciding about shoes, etc
I know for sure I’m going with these shoes and necklace:
I'm still trying to decide on earrings; don't know whether to go simple or extra. I'm leaning towards the simpler ones but I just ordered all of them and will keep whatever ones look best with the necklace:
and I'm deciding between hair combs; again I'm leaning towards the simpler one bc I think the other would be 2 much green, but let me know what y'all think!!:
#off topic#i can recommend style stuff for other people all day long#yet the minute I have to dress myself suddenly putting together an outfit is impossible

I’ll leave him alone, I’m only stating the observation which just popped in my head and I couldn’t unsee it. Can’t judge since I also look constantly congested and I’m happy to see him still performing of his own accord (though I imagine the pay for this particular gig is a big draw).
Okay but was my first thought on seeing Eminem in the halftime show tonight “how much Benadryl did this guy take today”
#off topic#super bowl halftime show#one of my high school english teachers has a dad who’s obsessed with Eminem#do I know why? no#but Eminem has staying power in the industry so good for him
