I cannot explain it but orange cloak Padme could be typing on this and reeking of cucumber melon body spray and I'd be like "sure, checks out."
Also this is my favorite Padme outfit because there's something about it that seems so specific to the time period in which the movie was made. Generally the costuming has aged well, but this specific look just seems weirdly dated in a fantastic way.
Not trying to be snarky, isn't this like 85% of books with a woman protagonist and some romance.
Mr Sparrow sent me this stroller. Just in case the fetus is a baby royal or something I guess. (We have a stroller).
Visiting Washington, went to a salmon hatchery, only picture is of this salmon quilt.
This is still true for me but also I just saw a video of Cardi B and her "mommy bag" (her words)... And tbh if I had buckets of money...I would. That thing is so wonderfully ridiculous. Like a cartoon Chanel bag. Makes you look like a baby carrying a regular sized bag. I love it?
Watched McCabe and Mrs Miller last night. As soon as Mrs Miller showed up I was like "wait is she like Mary Poppins for sex work?" And then she totally was 🥹. Wish it had gone better for her.
Bionicles are so nostalgic, I played with them but only the ones like this which I still think are so cute. Adorable little birb bots.
Every single time a blue-collar worker comes to the house (relatives, tradespeople, etc) they're always like "I like what you did with your tree stump there." Something about it just appeals to that demographic more than any other. Anyway we need more public art!
Very strong desire to just become a hippo for the next few months. I'd chill in the river and eat grasses and if anyone tried to get me to work I'd just open my mouth like this.
I feel like in the US the Easter egg options are a) plastic b) hard boiled, but when we lived outside of the US my mom blew the egg yolk out, then we painted them and put candy inside for the hunt. I don't celebrate Easter anymore, but I think this should be a more popular option.
Literally storing my zoo pass in this motherfucker. I'm going to get so many $2 slushies they file for bankruptcy.
I had a kind of rough solo parenting day yesterday, but today my son declared one of his grandmother's new pullets should be named Lina Lamont, so it's all been worth it.
I've been having an issue with my kid bothering other parents at the park, decided to post to reddit looking for tips, received the most useless response of all time. Why do they think I was asking for tips? 💀
The new doctor's office has the person at the main desk manning three kiosks like
Okay I get word meanings change over time but the sheer density here is excellent. Also til there's a flower called London pride!
I've read three fiction books so far this year and I'm pretty happy, 2025 was not a good year for fiction for me. Plus they were all excellent. The books:

It's our once-a-year-it-gets-cold-enough fire Husband made us turn down the thermostat so we'd really deserve it though.
Toddler: I want to watch the rooster and the hippopotamus together. Me: ??? Toddler: the rooster steals the fruit. Me: ... ... ...oh! You want to watch Fantasia! The roosters:
Second pair of shoelaces! I know they've been a bit "USA! USA!" but these are just the colors I had on hand that go with the recipient's shoes.
Finally setting up my dolls again and this is my favorite corner. #dollsky
