very funny to me that calories is legit just a measure of energy. you can convert it to joules. (4186 joules in one kcal). really drives home the absurdity of diet culture.

Grace Notes: Hating Frieren
The latest episode of Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End featured a scene that will surely become one of the year’s most memorable. The titular character, known for rarely showing emotions, thinks back to a “scary” tantrum she once threw, one that lasted three full days.
Scary indeed
t was yet another highlight from an anime that’s been full of them. But most of the conversation about the series on social media the past few days doesn’t seem to be about this silly scene, or the impending date between Stark and Fern, or even about where Frieren’s party is headed next in this short arc; it’s about how wildly overrated Frieren is. There’s been an aggressive back-and-forth between Frieren haters, who say that the relationships are superficial, the anime’s flashback structure has lost its charm, and Frieren herself isn’t a particularly compelling character, and champions of the series (myself included), who are responding with a fierce devotion to the show.
There are valid criticisms to be made of the anime, and honestly, they’re similar to the ones I mentioned above. The pacing is slow; the emotion doesn’t hit as it did at first; the relationships aren’t joyous or incredibly dynamic. But because this is social media, there’s little elaboration on these points, so what results are superficial criticisms about superficiality!

New sapphic book review: Graceless (Grace Notes, Book 2) by Ruby Landers, narrated by Quinn Riley
“I believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail. He is immortal not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance. The poet’s, the writer’s, duty is to write about these things.”
-William Faulkner, in his address upon winning the Nobel Prize for Literature
"Meat loaf in just a minute, but first -"
"Well, that was fun!"
"The meat loaf is great, Mrs. Notes." "I'm just glad I didn't mistime things and burn it."
"Should we have a cat?" "I dunno, should we? I don't mind. Sara'll have some say in it, too."
"Thank you two for coming." "Hey, I'm not missing your birthday, am I? But it's time to catch that bus." "I know. Come back for Melody's birthday!" "Of course we will."
"We're going to have to dig out some baby toys pretty soon, won't we? You'll practically be a big girl any day now. Walking and talking and being just the prettiest thing!"
