It's only Magical Realism if it comes from South America. Otherwise, it's just Sparkling Urban Fantasy.

As a "social group", I think there could be a lot of utility in promoting the value in minor self care tasks more. Not in the stuff that people have built up in their heads as "the thing i can't do" but the really, really little things.

The stuff with low activation cost but that isn't very rewarded so sometimes it's hard to bring yourself to do it.

Like. Bringing one dish to the sink, washing your hands, putting a dish in the dishwasher, cleaning part of the counter, texting a friend you've talked to recently, going outside, hugging someone nearby, refilling your water glass, laying down and closing your eyes for a few minutes, etc.

New ask game: What's one really small thing you did recently to make shit better?

it’s actually not misogynistic to say astrology is bogus, and it is indeed way way more misogynistic to believe that things that can’t be proven rationally through science are More Female.

Started an SSRI for PMDD a bit over a month ago and it’s been making me SO insanely drowsy during the day that I decided to swap around my timing and start taking it in the evening instead of in the morning.

Guess who was half awake all night last night….

i like when people say that the universality of campbell's hero's journey only applies to western mythology/folklore. brother, i am going to hold your hand when i say this... it doesn't apply there too

When maids and concubines do murders in historical dramas I don’t think that’s a crime. They should be allowed to do that

[dateamonster]

tbh im not entirely immune to a villain with a tragic backstory but i do think villain origins are a lot more interesting when the focus is less "here is the original sin, the first big bad thing that happened to them that made them who they are" and more "here is the first time a person who maybe otherwise felt powerless in their life realized that they could hurt someone and get away with it"

[dateamonster]

you can get a lot more mileage out of analyzing a truly abhorrent character through the lens of like. what sort of conditions would allow or even incentivize this kind of cruelty? what kind of person benefits from those conditions and how? over the more typical who hurt them type analysis. imo.

Babysitting a toddler is a lot like being the narration in a point-and-click adventure game. Watching him knock on the doors of empty rooms and saying "hmm. I don't think anyone's in there". Watching him attempt to use [spoon] on [cat] and saying "I don't think those things go together". Watching him throw a cup of water onto the floor and just commenting "the floor is wet now" when he looks up at me to see if I approve.
