Hate still being disappointed and upset when friends cancel plans with good reasons

hacks feels like an amalgam of glow, dead to me and grace and frankie IF each of those had leaned into the gay properly (regarding the two mains) and hadn't gotten canceled abruptly.

barnes and noble has been raising the prices of everything and further pushing for their premium membership option (which they raised the price of by 60 percent this year!) and then when they have big sales events, they're less than what they used to be.

last year at this time you could get one of their leather-bound book annex tomes for $12.50 (without a member discount) because of the 50 percent off all hardcover sales. but they raised the price of those tomes from 25 bucks to 30, and they decreased the sale from 50 percent off all hardcovers to 1/3rd off. so that same book that was $12.50 at last year's end-of-year sale is now 20 bucks. and that's supposed to be savings enough to induce me to walk into one of their stores this week?

i'm sorry but b&n has just gotten so greedy, even though their business has only been doing better and better in previous years. they do not have to be raising prices like they have been, and they can damn well afford to have the same savings events they used to. if you went to one of those hardcover sales a year or two ago, even if you lived in a less populated area like i do, you had never seen a b&n so busy in your life. things were flying off the shelves. they WERE making bank.

and as a company they've only been growing and growing (as much as the publishing industry has been, in recent years). but there are so many other ways to buy books. CHEAPER ways to buy books. MORE SUSTAINABLE ways to buy books. and since books and booksellers are doing really well right now, i don't see why barnes and noble is getting so greedy when they don't have to be. i dont like new shiny books that much. people buy books for the content, ultimately. sometimes we as consumers might make the choice that a new shiny book is worth paying a bit more for, but not that much. barnes and noble has just been demanding more and more of their customers' money for less and less benefit.

now i can say that i’ve edited a bestseller. granted that would be somewhat disingenuous because it’s a canadian not an american bestseller, but this is still a fairly big moment for me

Why do vegan recipes always say like "meatless burgers" or "vegan pork" or whatever.

Like, that doesn't tell anyone what is actually in it. Just say that it's tofu, or mushroom, or whatever. If you're so opposed to meat, stop pretending it's meat.

I LIKE tofu. I LIKE mushrooms. Advertise it as such instead of trying to be just like meat.

"Oh it tastes just like the real thing!"

First of all- no, it doesn't. Second, it still tastes good! It just doesn't taste like meat! It tastes like tofu, which is FINE.

Just

Sorry I'm rambling

Tldr: stop advertising vegan meals as "vegan meat." Advertise it for what the actual ingredients and flavors are. It's still delicious!

-----------------------------

THIS IS NOT AN ANTI-VEGAN POST. I LIKE FOOD FOR WHAT IT IS. I JUST DON'T LIKE WHEN PEOPLE CLAIM TOFU-NUGGETS OR MUSHROOM STEAKS ARE THE SAME AS MEAT. They're still yummy just don't act like it's the same

not to be about opera again but to be about opera again. as an art form it has the reputation of being super stuffy and something for snobs who don't know how to have fun only but honestly this was one of, perhaps even THE main theatrical entertainment for centuries. i wish people knew how hard these things can go and how engaging they can be. like characters kill and die and fight wars and (almost) commit human sacrifice left and right. characters fall in love they mourn they're ecstatic they cry they're furious it's an extremely dramatic and emotional art form! and i understand that opera does not appear approachable bc of the general conventions of the art form but i promise old works can be fun and engaging if you go watch them with some preparation beforehand (reading the libretto helps) - not to mention not all operas are old bc there are so many modern operas which engage with topical events! also the music slaps.

The universe puts its best soldiers (me) through the worst challenges (sickness) for them to enjoy their reward (maisie concert, night out with best friends, finally meeting irl maisie fans that I haven't created myself, discovering one of my bff's friend is a fan and is coming to the concert too!!?!?!)
