@jasmineandthyme.bsky.social Hi Hayley, as you are someone who I recall actually follows hockey I have to know whether you have thoughts on the Heated Rivalry phenomenon??

Send me your old movie recommendations by women and other diverse filmmakers 🫶

Funny animal videos no longer being trustworthy just fucking sucks all around. I love the wonder of animal behavior and what it says about the experience of being alive. It's because it happened in reality that it's so fun. It's not fun if it was just made up. There's no wonder there.

I tried so hard not to be a book snob about the YA-ness of it all because nobody loves a book snob, but I nearly threw it across the train carriage when she used a phrase from a 1970s TV show, lol. Agreed that the dragons were the fun part!

Oh no you’re reading it too! I just finished it for book club

Look she’s a smokeshow

Lauren Bacall on the telephone, looking smoking hot and smoking

Bacall.

A Martinez cocktail with a lemon twist

So she made a Martinez

Ooooh. Perfect combo for congee, if you ever feel like switching from oats to rice as the basis for your porridge…

People need to think about who the real victims are here (Hayao Miyazaki, my thirst for Frenchmen who can bake)

Sundays are for Bluey chillax playlists open.spotify.com/playlist/08P...

Unfollowing my favourite French baker/male model on Instagram because he posted one of those shitty Ghibli-style AI selfies (and thus I feel I can no longer heart his cake-making ASMR reels/thirst traps due to our unaligned moral codes) ☹️
