Love Common Side Effects but the voice actor who also did Angela Anaconda is giving me horrific Fox Kids flashbacks

Yes I will be eating pancakes for dinner today, no I will never call it Pancake Day.

I've taken my phone off silent for the first time in ~12 years for pregnancy brain reasons (iykyk), and truly some baffling sounds coming out of that thing.

Say what you will about old white people cooking, but they *will* teach you a thing or two about boiling the shit out of some vegetables

(My husband just told me he prefers my grandma's borscht 🙃)

Had a stress dream about Severance last night, as if my subconscious mind couldn't help being like 'oh no how can we help Mark S. get out of this one?'

I was flabbergasted to learn my husband doesn't know the Todd Rundgren song 'Bang on the Drum,' but also he grew up without TV and as far as I can figure out, I learned it from a 1997 Toyota Rav-4 commercial

Sometimes I set little reminders in my phone for the benefit of future me, such as 'ask mum about blue sweater' or today's 10 am alert: 'aortic aneurism symptoms'

I mean...maybe in that for a while Pizza Hut China had a pizza with lobster on top?
Because the US gov't has spent 30 years telling us how horrible China is, but....their groceries are cheap, high quality, and plentiful (they're eating lobster and crab on a Monday at lunch, not an anniversary dinner). Their jobs provide incredible, varied, healthy lunches and an hour to eat them..

Has anyone figured out how to make fewer than 3 litres of soup at a time? Asking for myself and my rapidly diminishing freezer space

Thought pregnancy was bringing more curl to my waves and then realised it's just that I'm sleeping with a humidifier pointed directly at my head

LinkedIn needs to stop sending push notifications that blur the line between 'you should connect with this person!' and 'this person has sent you a connection request' 🤦‍♀️

I will forgive Bad Sisters many sins but please tell me Joe isn't going to stick around. He is both dumb and boring! Also not particularly hot, just tall!

Got very distracted during Gladiator 2 thinking about sharks represented in media pre-1950 and thank god I can recognize the siren song of a bad decision (grad school round 2) when it's just starting to hum.

MENSWEAR GUY: Furthermore, you’ve neglected to even cut the vents of the shockingly poor-fitting sport coat you’ve, for some reason, chosen to wear to breakfast

MAN WHO STILL WEARS A THREADLESS TEE FROM 2003 WITH TWO ANTHROPOMORPHIC HOUSES HUGGING UNDER THE TEXT “HOMIES”: haha get his ass derek

Excited to get my first iron IV and potentially unlock a new, non-lackadaisical self. I might even become chipper!

Me encouraging a friend to take their time considering something: 'Just think about it! 🙂'

Fred Durst in my head: *record scratch* just think-think-think-think about - think about it

The thing no one warns you about pregnancy is that people will constantly be asking you how you feel, and neither 'I dunno, about the same as usual' nor 'I have mega bad heartburn' seem to be the correct answer.

HASTINGS: I say, Poirot, this vial’s labeled “hyaluronic acid”! Is it a poison?
SKINCARE HERCULE POIROT: Non, mon ami. This acid, it replenishes the skin’s barrier naturale
HASTINGS: So this is a gal who takes care of her skin.
SKINCARE HERCULE POIROT: *irritated* The gentleman may use it as well

I've been in Texas for 10 days, which is about how long it takes me to go from 'omg warm weather!🤩' to ' Is there something in the water here that keeps my brain from fully waking up?🫠'

I keep a pretty low profile on Twitter but interacted with someone first thing today about 90s tv who started going off about why kids should have been taught 'the real causes of HIV' so yea fuck that place.

Approximately every 18 months, my partner convinces me to watch a kdrama with him - right now it's Virtuous Business and it has EVERYTHING.

Challenging cultural norms with sex toys ✅
Tenuous 90s setting ✅
Cheating & betrayal ✅
Mysterious fire✅
Not one but TWO babyselling rings ✅

I have a lot to learn about America. For instance, my husband informed me that it's adorably absurd to assume anyone at Target would pick up the phone despite there being a guest services line/ dedicated lines for different departments.

I just wish you could mute a person for a specific amount of time.

Sometimes you're just not against them generally, they're just on one lately that you don't want to hear about.
there's a lot of debate over muting vs blocking people

the block button is for people who you absolutely do not want to be able to contact you, the mute button is for people who are generally harmless but annoying enough you don't want to hear from them anymore
