He said Winn Dixie was close!
He said Winn Dixie was close!
Oooh I hadn’t thought of that! Thank you!
Ooooh My Girl might be the silver bullet! Will report back!
🤣😭 Oh I would be wrecked too but vindicated!!!! Steel Magnolias is my kryptonite but not likely to work on him!
Why do the Kilmartins not have Scottish accents in Bridgerton? It’s a far superior story that Benedict’s in the novels but no accent bums me.
I think he’s seen Up but maybe I replay and stare at him whole time!
Stand By Me - I thought I was being so on top of shit when I showed him this at age 12. Not even past the credits when he asked, “Is this The Body by Stephen King?” Gd precocious reader!
Omori game also is in the sad but not teary category.
13 year old told me “media doesn’t make me cry” so now I HAVE to make him sob. On the list:
The Iron Giant
Bridge to Terabithia
He confesses that the Illuminae Files, Because of Winn Dixie and watership down made him sad but not teary. Give me some sob fodder please!
Thinking about a new iteration of TNDC. 🤔
He won but victory is mine next time!
Taking my recycling out the other day, I spied my neighbor taking out his trash. Holy fuck do I appreciate living next to someone prepared for me to shout “RACE YOU!!” 🤣
Let the kid stay up way too late bc he wanted to talk poems and storytelling and the state of the world and if I ever feel like I’m doing this right, it’s when his eyes light up like that and he says “and this other thing!” #absolutemagic
The tshirts wld be epic
🤣
Sumo orange obsession is my new thing.
The drunk uncle theory.
You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there
If I get measles effing around with you narcissistic professional victims who refuse to vaccinate? Let’s just say “radicalized” will barely cover it.
Nothing screams “I have all the freedom” like having to call your government reps at least daily to beg them to protect your basic rights.
The people commenting about how the SAVE act is no big deal seem like a mix of bots or dudes who couldn’t locate their own gd birth or marriage certificates without spousal help. Wouldn’t it be sad if they lost their ids and had to navigate the system on their own?
OK "god bless america" and then naming every country in the americas from south to north is absolute king shit
Would not have believed you. I do remember that when told about our split, she called me immediately to tell me that I could divorce anyone I wanted EXCEPT her. Anyway this is an appreciation post for folks who show up in yr life and just stick. 😍😍😍
My divorce was 10+ years ago but my former SIL has never faltered on keeping in touch. We talk about every two weeks - tonight it was about perimenopause, kdramas, hockey romance, raising teens, etc. if you woulda told teenage me that this person was going to be one of the constants in my life, I
Every Winter Olympics I think of Surya Bonaly. I hope she is thriving.
But tbh Emma M Lion is a celebration of ALL friendships and quirkiness and viewing the world with a high level of delight and magic and joy.
Prefer those that aren’t based on friendships formed bc everyone is facing death and doom.
I sm an outspoken fan of the Emma M Lion series for MANY reasons and one of those is the deep male friendships. Other media that has scratched that itch for me:

-Crash Landing on You (kdramas are superior at dude friendships)
Always taking suggestions but I do
This winter has unhinged me entirely!
Some kinda synchronized dirt bike performance to Lydia Loveless’ Can’t Change Me. Hot air balloons in the vicinity lobbing off bottle rockets. Runners sprinting across the field in light up sneakers bearing quilted banners.
