Happy birthday to @jadoogan! 🎂🎈🎶🌟😊

@aprilreads414 My best week was when I bought a bunch of chicken thighs and put it together with pickled things and rice. I am very sorry that it has to be done.

@jadoogan it’s okay, I appreciated it nonetheless. it does reaffirm my idea of getting into meal prepping components for bowls 😭

not to sound ridiculous but what do you all eat for lunch during work??

@aprilreads414 April I forgot to modify this for someone who doesn’t eat eggs

@aprilreads414 Eggs on toast. Sometimes with tinned fish. Sometimes I make a bunch of rice and soy-marinated eggs and make bowl-type things through the week. Sandwiches.

@lVlJW Builds character! I always say

Unanswerable question: would Minnesota’s happiness be even higher if the weather was better, or does the intensity of the weather somehow contribute to happiness?

@aprilreads414 Get her

I am fighting soooo hard not to reply to her comment in the doc. sooooo hard. I am not territorial about the job that I personally quit but I am territorial about her disagreeing with the work I am doing now (where I am right and also more knowledgeable)

@likaluca TWO WEEKS of severance for (my guess) full time book buyers?

@aprilreads414 It is SO pretty

@publicroad I do think that the more niche the subject, the worse the audio will be in this regard!

@jadoogan So he'll say, like, "Not even the Italian NUNS had heard..." when from context it should obviously be "Not even the ITALIAN nuns had heard..." Anyway now I'm just venting, but it's so distracting!

I'm listening to an audiobook that's heavy on Catholic history. The reader has pronounced sacristy "sacricity," called Mary a "core-deemer," and on and on. It has made me curious about audiobook production. Was no one in the room with the reader? (He appears to be a real person.)

@Builtahouse We have also enjoyed many middle grade-ish horror -ish movies, like House with the Clock in Its Walls

@Builtahouse Okay, somebody already said Blythe Spirit, but Ghost and Mrs. Muir! (it's not like WILDLY melancholy) Topper is in the Blythe Spirit vein

looking for spooky-ish movies appropriate for the season & watching with parents who hate "halloween", but have already seen every Abbott & Costello Meet-- movie

@mattmikalatos I just got there, too!

@mattmikalatos I just hate Threads! Everything feels very click-baity there. Bsky is a lot, but it feels a bit more like early Twitter? But also, starting over seems like so much.

@mattmikalatos Welp. Too bad I spent 15 years building a community here, I guess.

@mattmikalatos Oh no, so the opt-out no longer works? This is so depressing.

@gyip Oh wow he looks like he could use a strawberry scone

@mattmikalatos I already rarely post. This makes it really difficult to stay here.

@gyip MY BELOVED SID????????
