I’m a Pringles fan. I know, they’re extruded product rather than slices of what were once potatoes, but I just like ‘em. They’re dependable, and that’s a big plus in a comfort food.

My mom (in her eighties) still has one of the dresses like that which her grandmother made her when she a little girl. She’d be told to make sure her dad used two feed bags with the same pattern so there would be enough fabric.

Lois McMaster Bujold almost gave Miles Vorkosigan a sister named Nile. The plot worked out differently, but yeah. That would have been an audiobook headache.

Cats seems to me to be a collection of amusing poetry in search of a plot.

I have literally said the same thing: “Murderbot is my Sanctuary Moon”.
I’m careful not to wear the series out with rereads. But other than that, yeah. I reread it a lot.

Thank you for the reminder! I can always use more Scamperbeasts in my feed.

Useful to vegetarians, people with (most) allergies… It’s a very nice gift; more flexible than baked goods.

Yes! My hand-made wool socks take way too long to make, to give up after just one hole. I darn ‘em at least twice; three times if the fabric will hold up for it.

Me. “No. Tell me how you want it to look. Or don’t tell me, and I’ll make it look the way that makes sense to me. I ain’t guessing.”

Thank you for normalizing this. Sometimes there are topics we need to avoid, and we don’t owe the whole world an explanation.

Oh, thank goodness. I’ve been wondering the same thing.

…and then it feels like the author is calling me, the reader, dim. Which is pretty off-putting.
