Makeup friends- I bought a Nivea Blackberry lip balm as a dupe to replace my Clinique Black Honey but the color is even better. It has cool purple undertones instead of brown. I got mine from Walgreens for 2 for $5. Recommend!

‪One boy’s review of Emma “she’s low-key a horrible person”‬

Trying to see how many Jane Austen adaptations I can sneak into the movie marathon the boys are running

Playing a fun game where we all guess what day of the month and week it is but no one is allowed to check their watch/phone

‪My son came home from soccer camp and said “there was a dead bird. Guess who picked it up” and I immediately guessed the right kid‬

The bird flu stuff made me remember that there was a dead bird in the corner of one of the soccer fields over the summer. A boy picked it up and chased his teammates with it

1) tell your kids not to touch birds
2) a pandemic could start the most moronic way possible

Very strange to have my kids turn on Star Wars while I read Kylo/Rey fanfiction

It’s available on Kindle Unlimited now if you have an account btw! Otherwise I’m sure your library has it up on Libby

I always recommend Fourth Wing as an intro to fantasy!

It's a great day to remember that, despite the upsurge in some chronic diseases, humans have on average never lived happier, healthier lives than they do today.

You're very lucky to be alive in 2024 and not 1924!

I loved Fireborne so much that I bought a bunch of copies and will be gifting them for Christmas. So if you’re struggling to pick a present for your mom, brother, sister or friend, it might be fun to read this one together

4/4

*Manacled:

This is a fanfic on ao3 which has been bought by a publisher & will be turned into a real book, just like Ali Hazelwood’s ‘The Love Hypothesis’. It’s being pulled from ao3 by the end of the year. It’s FREE, download it NOW if you have any desire to read it

Our winter indoor soccer league requires parents to be silent so I’m trying to use Baby Sign Language for “open” to get my kid to go wide

Hi friends - if you haven’t gotten your kids covid and flu boosters yet, get them this week to have them fully protected when they return to school after the holidays

Thank you so much! I knew you’d know exactly where to look!

Oooh that sounds so good

I need an idea for an adult woman and an idea for a 13 year old girl who is not super girly but is just putting her toe in those waters

@goodchat.bsky.social Brianna can you recommend any good perfume themed stocking stuffers?

Euphoria screen shot with Maddie asking “is this fucking play about us?”

Every time I see a tweet or article about mycoplasma pneumonia

We did right??

New this week from CDC

After months of declining or flat trends, COVID-19 now "beginning to increase from low levels in some areas"

www.cdc.gov/respiratory-...

You can see especially in Midwest, where wastewater climbed to "moderate" in recent weeks

That is so irritating. I’m sorry he did that to you

We are loyal to tide because everything else gives me heinous eczema. Have you washed and dried the khaki pants or is the stain still fresh? I’d rinse through the back of the stain with rubbing alcoho then Zout stain remover. Let that sit, wash on cool and hang to dry- don’t put it in the dryer!

Free and Gentle

Damn Jessica that really sucks 😞
