*leans in real real intimidatingly close to your face* even if they're a protagonist
btw just because a character says something in a book doesn't mean the author is endorsing that point of view. just sum food 4 thot

Why don't seagulls fly over the bay?
Because then they would be bagels

In celebration of PIE day upon us I'm reading about Proto-Indo-European cognates
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indo-Eu...
(I'm so sorry)
(I will also probably bake something I'm not a monster)

Yesterday felt like Friday all day
Anytime I get that feeling, I'm briefly concerned I've stepped into a Groundhog Day / Russian Doll type situation
The realization-dread of discovering that it's Thursday is tempered by relief that my antics won't show up on streaming platforms in a few years

This is my life now
Finding only the best fashion that the world has to offer
Tolerating a talking, bbq-loving cat in a yellow hood
And petting these less erudite cats whose fur make them look like fancy gentleman

All of my Thanksgiving plans have gone sideways except for parade watching
I have no idea why parades brings me such joy but they do
(Even when nobody's throwing candy)

I've got Twitter so ingrained in my muscle memory that in my bored downtime between tasks I press CTRL+T and type "TW-enter" without thinking
but Twitter and I are donezo and I've removed it from my browser autocomplete suggestions
so I've been spending a lot more time on Twitch now

Currently resisting the urge to hibernate the rest of summer by blasting the AC and binging The Office on repeat until the high temperature outside dips back into the mid 70s again and I can emerge from my cocoon in a light jacket and/or fully metamorphosed into a jack-o-lantern ready for fall

Friends, if you care about books with fat representation, if you have authors that you love that are trying to challenge fatphobia with their stories, please yell loudly about them. Make posts on your socials, tell all your friends, preorder new books, request them at libraries.

I made lemon cookies last night
These misshapen balls are giving "I'm sure they taste fine". I guarantee you they won't be the lead image on anybody's recipe blog.
Turns out they taste *amazing* and exactly what I needed

I really need to keep working on this draft, but Baldur's Gate 3 releases today and this is one of the handful of games this year I'm letting myself obsess over.
There are some really great storytelling hooks in RPGs, right? We'll call it research.

I'm doing a neat science experiment today!!
The high temperature is supposed to get up over 100 degrees before the heat index, and I'm really curious to see whether I melt or explode.
