I love your massive hat. I, too, have a super extra hat, and you're giving my the courage to maybe wear it! Also your outfits have been awesome!
oh my goodness, you absolutely should wear your Super Extra Hat!! it’s both a neat little confidence booster and just a fun thing to do, and i recommend everyone get themselves a Good Hat to wear and then send me pictures, we’ll all be in a little hat club together
I think it's also a weird semantic issue, where young adult technically means your late teens to maybe your early thirties, but it is generally taken to mean teenagers only. I'm 24, so I'm a young adult, but the YA section in the bookstore is really taken up with books for teenagers, and there's nothing in-between YA and general fiction, so i'm finding it hard to find fun books for my age (I do like gen fic as well, and genre fic, but I think either YA should expand a bit or there should be some other way to distinguish an older, but not fully "grown up", adult). Essentially, I want to read books about people my age, not middle age ladies, but that are also at my maturity level and not really written for teens? (No shade to YA, which i also still enjoy)
Yeah! There’s a disconnect between what a young adult is in general, which in my mind means someone maybe college age to the end of their 20′s, while as a genre, YA basically means “books for and about teenagers”
I also feel like often when a character is my age (25) or even a few years younger, the author will choose to have them have their shit together, in a way that nobody I know has their shit together. Nobody has things figured out right after college (or 2 years after college in my case), and that’s not an interesting narrative

My mum has a hack for this! Learned from on of the various royal blogs that she follows religiously. If you're on chrome and you put on the subtitles in the original language, Google usually asks if you want to translate the webpage to English, and usually that will include the subtitles! (I think that may depend on the video system though.) Anyway bless her and all the other people on royal blogs out there, for giving us some good hacks 👏
Ah, that's amazing! Thank you (and your mum) for this 🙏😊 Here's the link for if anyone wants to watch. 10/10, would recommend. Four episodes, one hour each, and both QMII and Frederik feature. The series is taken off the site on 29 June 2021, so don’t put off watching it for too long ✌️
I'm canadian (though with a n Irish family) and we say squirty cream for the stuff that comes from a can. I'm sorry, its just how I differentiate it from the whipped cream you do with a whisk or mixer at home. It's just how we do. I know how it sounds. But whipped cream from a can is so different from homemade! What other two word phrase can I use for that?????
is it like. an irish thing to make large tubs of homemade whip cream to go with coffee because my family gatherings ALWAYS did it. anyway yea i agree that homemade and from a can are both similar but different experiences, however the base sensation is the same. do it’s all whip cream to me. also i will never in my fucking life say squirty cream i’m sorry but it’s so bad
Hi there. As a Canadian, what can I do about net neutrality? it seems like everything is happening in the states. I obviously can't call congress or anything, so what can/should I do?
I’ve listed in this ask what Canadians can do. It links to a second ask with more information as well.
I realize that this is a ridiculous question, but who exactly is bc's premiere right now? is it Clark? or did the Green/NDP coalition end up with the power? I googled and asked around and now one seems to know?
Christy Clark is the premier of BC.
Its confusing, but she remains the Premier until anything changes just because she was the Premier before the election and she won the most seats so she has the first chance to try to govern.
Hey, have you ever been tested for celiac disease? Because your ibs symptoms sound a lot like how i was feeling pre-diagnosis. (Feel free to ignore this - I don't want to be pushy on medical stuff and you know your body and what your doctor has told you!)
Thanks for asking! I don't mind talking about it.
Once I finally found a doctor who listened to me rather than just assuming it was because I was overweight and "ate the wrong things," I had a big battery of tests and even did that FODMAP food allergy eating plan. It was hell, let me tell you, hell to give up that huge list of foods and slowly add them back to my diet. While I have no food allergies, turns out avocado sets off IBS episodes, so I did gain that insight.
Mostly, doctors have given me diets that get increasingly restrictive. I cut candy, cookies, and cakes -- no change. Next, it's always carbs -- potato chips and fries first, then white bread, then rice and anything white at all. When that didn't help, it was anything fried ... or cooked with oil ... just roast it all. Eat salads ... oh the lettuce sets it off? Then eat vegetables ... oh corn is out and broccoli makes IBS worse? Try only protein ... but not processed meats. Chicken. Poached or broiled. With no seasoning. And carrots. What about raw carrots for every meal? At a point, I just give up and eat potatoes again.
So far (and I'm a fandom grandma, so it's been YEARS), the best thing I've done is give up artificial sweeteners. My IBS has been cut down by two-thirds which, IMHO, is a godsend of a result.
My goal is to find a way to mediate between the two wolves so both can be happy. How to occasionally have a cupcake without going full moon eating frenzy. How to realize when my body wolf is satisfied and ignore the eating disorder wolf's "but I need it." So much of it is mixed up with my own body dysmorphia and that needs untangled.
Maybe one day I'll truly believe what my therapist used to say -- that the two wolves are both me, trying to deal with years of fucked up eating and dieting and fat shaming.
Cross your fingers for me!
