Twilight: Wild do you realise you have a stick in your hair?

Wild: Oh yeah no, I couldn’t find my hair tie this morning so I improvised

Twilight: With a stick?

Wild, shrugging: It’s working, so I don’t see what your problem is

On the earlier egg cooking post I reblogged -

Thinking about it more, I feel like I experienced a lot of weird change when I moved with my mom from East Germany to West Germany as a kid. Specifically from a poor household into one where her partner had considerable money.

The poking the egg thing was very much something my mom insisted on, possibly due to her chef background. The egg cups and spoons were a thing too, but that it genuinely just a common German thing all over the country. (No matter if the egg is soft or hard.)

But man, was it weird to have her partner tell us that we were eating the eggs "wrong", since he always cut off the top part completely with a knife, and my mom and I simply hit the top of the egg with the spoon and then peeled the egg open starting on that spot.

Same with the whole egg cooker bit. He suggested we get one and my mom and I were just like ???? pots work just fine ???, so at least on that we got to keep doing what we knew.

After moving out from my stepdad's place a couple years back, I have reverted back to a lot of cooking-related things that I was used to from living in East Germany. Like, I brush off his remaining insistence that I buy certain gadgets (egg cooker, bread slicer) and honestly I couldn't be happier.

I never got comfortable with the high / upper middle class way of life he pressed onto my mom and me - and I'm honestly thankful for it.

In case you were wondering why Spotify Wrapped sucks balls this year, and more importantly doesn't have any genre data:

Can you hear the sound of bells? That's because they're clowns. 🤡 🛎

First off, spin this wheel.

You just landed on one of 200 fandoms that have been very popular somewhere on Tumblr over the years. Topics were chosen either from appearing on a @fandom end-of-year recap or from my own long (long, long) site memories before that.

also all of these fandoms are definitely things that really exist in the real world and none of them are Tumblr creations

you've heard of "quiet quitting," now I'd like to introduce you to the next level, The French Work Ethic:

Do exactly what you're paid for and nothing more

Absolutely refuse to be available to contact when you're off the clock

Never prioritize work over your own health, wellbeing, or family because that would be insane, it's just a job.

Have a little glass of wine

Take as long as you feel like for lunch

Deeply understand that work doesn't matter

Make sure your boss knows they're always your second priority ❤️

if you're subscribed to Microsoft word, you probably received an email recently saying they're upping their prices. Like, a lot. ($9.99/month instead of $6.99)

guess what though? you can log into your account, click Cancel Subscription, and get the option to continue your subscription at the same price WITHOUT their bullshit AI.

That's right, the new, higher price is actually a different subscription that includes AI that everyone is being opted into by force! What a cool and fun product that clearly everyone wants.

you can also choose to buy Word 2024 without AI for a single lump sum that will be yours in perpetuity, with no updates, for one computer.

Check your subscription if you need Word for work! Don't get duped into paying for something you might not even want
