The year is 1959 and everything’s a-okay in the picture-perfect suburb of Senita Valley, Arizona. The weather’s been nice, a block party’s scheduled for next weekend, and everyone’s having a nice quiet Sunday until.... NEPTUNE ATTACKS!!! And nobody on earth can stop them– except for the Senita Valley Ladies' Brunch Club!

While they usually just spend their meetings gossiping and swapping recipes, today they're fighting back with whatever they have on hand. Who says the Brunch Club sits around doing nothing, huh?

These are redesigns of some old, OLD characters and I'm honestly super happy with them. They'd ideally be part of a cartoony FPS video game, or maybe just a set of trading cards.

I love being his toy.

I've been so busy, but he always reminds me of my true purpose as his wife and takes me whenever he needs release. It doesn't matter I'm in the middle of reading my emails or washing the dishes, I'm first and foremost supposed to take care of him and his needs, desires – at all times. He's been nice enough to tolerate my job, but we both know once he inevitably knocks me up, my career will be over and I'll finally submit to him completely.

It's so sad to me that women feel embarrassed about wanting to be homemakers/housewives. We're told we can be whatever we want, and some people claim no one is saying you can't be a housewife. But, if women feel embarrassed to want to stay home, obviously we're being taught that's not what we should want. If we feel embarrassed to be soft and embrace our femininity, obviously we're being told those are bad things to be. If you're looking for validation and someone to say it's okay-it is perfectly okay to want to stay home and take care of your home and family. You don't need to have an illness that makes working hard, you don't need to have kids, you can just want to stay home and let your partner take care of finances. You can just enjoy spending your day cooking, cleaning, and doing projects at home. It's okay. 🩷

It’s hilarious how so many people associate Hayoa Mizayazki films with peaceful, comforting, relaxing, wholesome content when there’s literally so much going on in these films. Aside from the very blatant anti war themes and critiques on the wealthy in basically all of them, all of his characters are having deeply emotional and psychological responses to their surroundings. Take a look at Satsuki in My Neighbor Totoro. It’s 1958, her dad is an archeology professor who spends every waking hour elbow deep in studies, her little sister is just a toddler, 4 years old and trying to make sense of the world, and her mother is so ill she lives in a hospital. But Satsuki cheerfully steps in and becomes housewife and mother, taking care of chores like preparing meals and essentially raising her younger sister. And she’s only 10. Do you know what I did when I was 10? Got an acorn stuck in my nose because my brother and I thought it was funny to shoot them out of our nostrils. I feel like most Western films would say what an incredible kid she is, how strong she is and how she’s such a good girl. Even the neighbors say this, always complimenting her manners, because it’s such a surprise from a girl so young to be acting so mature. But then at the end of the movie Satsuki’s mother says how hard this has been on her, but she doesn’t show it. This immediately reminds the audience that this isn’t a good thing, that it’s bad for children to have to become adults too early. Anyways I feel like Totoro doesn’t get enough analysis, people don’t look at the intricacies of the slice of life Ghibli films as much. Here’s to Satsuki and I hope she grew up to be a very well adjusted woman.

I wanted to share my excitement with you all! I went to a little bookstore over the weekend. The man working was so sweet and kind. He showed me a cookbook from 1877! It was really interesting. The price in the cover was $200. I couldn’t afford that unfortunately. So I went to hand it back to him. He said, “I’ll take $25 for it.” I was so excited and I got it! I also got some manuals for cameras from like the 60s. So that was cool. He told me that he wanted everything to go to a good home and he knew I’d take care of them.

I’m grateful for him being so kind to me. ❤️ I’ll be sure to share some of the pages with you all.

My family had a girls dinner tonight at a fancy restaurant for my birthday and it was just so refreshing to go out with my girls for the night, no work, no politics, just gossip and great food 🥰🥰
