Tired trans lady who's finally coming into her own. Married. Gardening and art. Expect cat pics.
Despite it all we keep existing and feeling cute when we can.

LRP: No one does deeply unwell characters like Battan. There's more openly horrible (Gunjou, for example), and also-shitty but more relatable (basically all of tmfly's HDWR), but whew. If I want to watch some flawed people make very bad decisions? No one does it like her.

A fantastic manga called Composing Spring in this Room where Cherry Blossoms Bloom convinced me of this. A woman goes through the ten year diary her dead lover started when they first got together. Very sad, but showed me how important it is to keep those memories.
I'm 48 now and regret not keeping a diary because I'm alarmed at how much of my life I've utterly forgotten. I mentioned this to a writing workshop comprised mainly of older people I taught last year, and one woman said, "Start now. START NOW. I'm 77 and I WISH had started keeping a diary at 50."
Those who are 35+, what advice do you have for people just entering their 30s?

Okay, okay. I'll move "Fatale Game" up my list of series to start.
God, battan's work is always gorgeous. I've been enamored since "Run Away with Me, Girl".

Thank you, @nikostratis.com, for a wonderful book.
Pretty sure Julien Baker is going to completely unravel me, now, but that's okay too. I'm glad you introduced me to her.

there's a big problem with the culture here on bluesky, and it's that not nearly enough people are posting about the 10 year anniversary of Carly Rae Jepsen's groundbreaking and timeless album EMOTION being this year and how awesome that is

We had 5+ hour drives to see my mom's family during the holidays. Dad's turn? Toys in the Attic from Aerosmith, probably. Brother? OU812 from Van Halen (because our parents wouldn't allow anything harder). Mom? Joshua Kadison or John Tesh. Me? Alan Parsons Project.

Legit one of the best things I've read all year. Made me sob for hours. (Deals with grief and death, if you're sensitive to that at the moment.)

When it comes to running shoes, you can only have two: cost, comfort, and looking fun and pretty.
Crying at my debit card, because I sacrificed it for the other two.
The bright side is I love my new hokas! Always nice getting replacement running shoes.
