So, you're telling me that Moiraine returns after EIGHT BOOKS, and: - she gets rescued by men (which is fine in and of itself) - she LOSES most of her POWER - and she wants to marry Thom the Gleeman?! I need a do-over. Let me write it, Robbie! #WheelofTime
This panel from Supergirl: Survive #2 made me crack up for some reason "Completely certain that's a baby" (about baby Kal-El)
Started Wheel of Time Book 13 this weekend. Might actually finish this series this year!
Day 26: Went to a minor league baseball game with family tonight, ate ice cream, and saw fireworks!
Day 25: The concessions guy last night saw me wearing my Supergirl t-shirt and carrying these and said, "I think I know which movie you're here to see!"
Day 23: This silly little gal my friend at work gave me. It's from a blind box, and we were tickled when it matched the one on her desk
Day 22: These pretty flowers from my mama that are still doing pretty well! (Yes, they're in a Kennywood cup.)
Oh, I'm going to be Insufferable when Kara and Lois share screentime
Day 21 (yes, I know it's day 22): I didn't get a great pic (because curly), but this GORGEOUS Supergirl poster sent to me by @chandlerin.bsky.social!
Dang, did I forget yesterday? Day 19: My sister gave me this graphic novel for my bday!
JD Vance's Communion comes out today, but I'm here to tell you to buy my books instead! Because it's MY birthday, not his, and because I'm a better writer (and a better person)!
Day 15: These delightful gifties from @chandlerin.bsky.social because I love: The Wheel of Time, writing, castles, AND dice! ❤️
Day 14: My parents got me this silly, fun thing for my birthday!
Day 13: There have been so many good albums released this year already! Here are the most recent ones I've picked up because I love physical media and will always prefer a CD
Day 11: Found this "Carrie carrot cake" in my work mailbox today! Not sure who it's from, but it lifted my mood and it's adorable!
Day 6: I'm watching Wicked: For Good with my matka, and that's a very nice thing
Day 5: Comics! My focus for starting prose books has been shoddy lately, so leaning into comics has helped me get some reading done and allowed me to dive deeper into Supergirl's history. And she's simply my fave
Day 3: Movies! I'm trying to use up some movie passes before I cancel (because the theater near me closed), so I'm seeing an early showing of Masters of the Universe tonight! I'm excited for some fantasy/sci-fi action!
Day 1: The Dallas Wings and the WNBA, since I'm watching the Wings/Seattle Storm game right now. I wanted to watch more women's sports this summer, I picked the Wings as my team, and watching them has been so fun!
Supergirl comes out this month! Compared to last summer, though, it really doesn't feel like there's a lot of merch. I feel like I should be able to walk into a store and buy a poster or something, but there's very little available!
Getting into The Gathering Storm, book 12 of the Wheel of Time series! Maybe I'll finish the series this year But it does make me think about how the show was SUCH a comfort show for me for a long time, & I'm sad that the last episode left such a sour taste in my mouth. We deserved more seasons!
I promise we don't think about our boobs this much; when we do, it's mostly in the context of annoyance; and we probably don't talk about them with our male cousins
I had a feeling I was coming up on 300! Nice discing round today, even (especially?) with the rain
I finished the Queen's Hope audiobook on my drive today. It was sooooo good. Disney not already having a Padmé and the Handmaidens TV show is such a missed opportunity, especially since E.K. Johnston has already written a brilliant trilogy to base it on! #StarWars
'Scuse me, everyone! "Sarah J Maas" likes MY book; therefore, everyone should go read it! 😆
New MUNA album came yesterday! It's good, kinda '80s feeling. I guess I'll have to start pre-ordering the CDs I want, since I can't really go get them in stores anymore, but I don't think that guarantees I'd get it on release day
