I swear at some point I will do a thread of how awesome the Lego botanical sets are, but in the meantime, a new bouquet arrived in the mail. Here is a photo of the previous bouquet.
Things may still suck so here's a thread of Lego Botanicals I have put together over the past year.
I am further into Powerwash 2, and there are more supernatural shenanigans. I am powerwashing a summoning circle.

The more I read this thread, the more I agree with it simply because only a woman, including a trans woman, could truly captivate the arrogance of men and the horrors that come with that arrogance.
The Frankenstein reviews are falling into two camps.
1) adoration
2) disappointment it is not more true to Shelley's vision.
I have thoughts. The first of which is that Frankenstein will not truly capture the essence of Shelley's feminism unless it's done by a woman. But there's an asterisk here.

All the Starbucks fans are going apeshit over the stupid bear cup, and I find out they're selling Hello Kitty cups that would match my Hello Kitty fountain pen. We are not the same...
Dude behind the counter already took 5 calls and told me they were reselling up to $300.
Place was only open for 20 minutes.

Joyce is spot-on in this one. He has nothing but his money. That's it, that's all he has. Even when he does post about books and movies, he completely misses the point of the story. He did it with Princess Bride, Hitchhiker's, and Lord of the Rings.

I think the Rankin/Bass version of The Hobbit is likely going to be the best adaptation of Tolkien's novel that we're ever going to get. Its art design runs the gamut from rustic to creepy to lovely, and its assortment of songs lend it a fairy tale quality that really fits the story.

Update, I saw the little old ladies today protesting on the bridge. Every time I see them, they bring me joy.
Update, the little old ladies are determined to keep going and were spotted on the Dubuque street Bridge protesting as of today.
FYI, these little old ladies are still going every day to protest this administration, and I love each and every one of them.

The male loneliness epidemic could be solved if you guys just gave people tiny pumpkins.
I don't know what Fae gave me the pumpkin. I won't scan the QR code and seal my fate to find out, but I am enjoying holding my comfort pumpkin after the day I had.
I'm working from home today, and I eard the screen door to the porch open and shut twice, and some mysterious creature has left me a tiny pumpkin on my porch.

Me: You know what, I am not going to make it through tomorrow unless I can bang on the drum tonight.

Due to both Spouse and having to work an obscene amount of overtime we have decided that instead of getting in the car and driving an hour to visit family for Thanksgiving we will instead be staying home and having pie for dinner.
