tfw you don't know if you don't like a book, or if you just really don't like the larger trend it's part of.

I deviated from my usual fare to read a contemporary novel that has the featured couple doing IVF, and it takes a huge toll on their marriage. The wife is desperate to have a baby, and after she does a risky financial thing for another round of IVF, her husband gets mad, goes out and gets drunk, and cheats on her (which he does not disclose at the time). They reconcile, but then he finds out he got the girl he cheated with pregnant. The rest of the novel centers around her forgiving him and deciding she's okay to raise the child her husband had with another woman (who gives up the baby willingly).

The thing is, whatever other critiques there might be, why does it seem like so many novels that focus on a child coming from cheating have it be the man who fathers the child and his long-suffering wife having to forgive him and come to terms with raising a child that is evidence of that infidelity in order for a happy ending to be had? Is it really that happy? Where are the reverse stories, where the FMC cheats and gets pregnant and her spouse has to deal with that? I can think of at least three fictional stories and one real-life one where that's the case. The only story I can think of where the reverse is true is a one-off episode in Call the Midwife.

So there’s a trend going round where you draw Miku inspired by your own culture and normally I just sit those out bc i’m from England but then the image of her covered in fake tan with the full chav makeup and sloppily bleached blue pigtails popped into my head and i almost threw up laughing. So here’s bri’ish Miku. She smells like impulse body spray and spent the last 30 minutes arguing with the teacher who told her to take her coat off. It’s chewsday innit

edit: i fucked up with the cigarette i know it’s the wrong way round blease stop making fun of me 😔💔

« To love is to hate. To love is to look into the the soul of another and to not be able to bear to see its rough edges and its every awkward little bumps. To love is to want to pick up the blades of a scissor and hack and chop and mutilate beyond recognition. » - Good Ol' Tony, she was a real one.

I work at a CCRC, and have for the better part of the last 14 years. I have gotten used to residents passing. It is part of the deal working here. It is unavoidable.

But today, we lost one that seemed, untouchable. She was in her 100's still singing and playing piano every week.

It has been a very long time since a resident's death has made me cry, but this one... has me sitting in my office crying.

She was a legend. She has lived here since before I started.

She was a staple in this building, and her loss will truly be felt by everyone here.

I'm glad it's Friday at least. No one else is in the C-suite today, so no one can see my red puffy eyes.

probably time for this story i guess but when i was a kid there was a summer that my brother was really into making smoothies and milkshakes. part of this was that we didn't have AC and couldn't afford to run fans all day so it was kind of important to get good at making Cool Down Concoctions.

we also had a patch of mint, and he had two impressionable little sisters who had the attitude of "fuck it, might as well."

at one point, for fun, this 16 year old boy with a dream in his eye and scientific fervor in heart just wanted to see how far one could push the idea of "vanilla mint smoothie". how much vanilla extract and how much mint can go into a blender before it truly is inedible.

the answer is 3 cups of vanilla extract, 1/2 cup milk alternative, and about 50 sprigs (not leaves, whole spring) of mint. add ice and the courage of a child. idk, it was summer and we were bored.

the word i would use to describe the feeling of drinking it would maybe be "violent" or perhaps, like. "triangular." my nose felt pristine. inhaling following the first sip was like trying to sculpt a new face. i was ensconced in a mesh of horror. it was something beyond taste. for years after, i assumed those commercials that said "this is how it feels to chew five gum" were referencing the exact experience of this singular viscous smoothie.

what's worse is that we knew our mother would hate that we wasted so much vanilla extract. so we had to make it worth it. we had to actually finish the drink. it wasn't "wasting" it if we actually drank it, right? we huddled around outside in the blistering sun, gagging and passing around a single green potion, shivering with disgust. each sip was transcendent, but in a sort of non-euclidean way. i think this is where i lost my binary gender. it eroded certain parts of me in an acidic gut ecology collapse.

here's the thing about love and trust: the next day my brother made a different shake, and i drank it without complaint. it's been like 15 years. he's now a genuinely skilled cook. sometimes one of the three of us will fuck up in the kitchen or find something horrible or make a terrible smoothie mistake and then we pass it to each other, single potion bottle, and we say try it it's delicious. it always smells disgusting. and then, cerimonious, we drink it together. because that's what family does.

Rhaenyra was so wild when she said "I make my way to the Red Keep, ring the bell, scale her wall, and enter the window."

I swear she reads Rhaenicent fanfics at night before bed.
