Hello from beautiful Meghalaya ❤️

Thanks!

I'm about to start on this (female, Persian heritage author) even though goodreads gives it a 3.6. But my options on free libraries for audiobooks are limited so I'm taking what I get.

Not yet! I'm currently obsessing over folklore from different parts of the non-western world, but also Slavic folklore which is very rich and intricate. So anything in that genre, I'd love to read.

Looking for audiobook recommendations for any (ancient) historical feel good fantasy/folklore fiction that's available on Libby Canada or Germany. Help please? Thanks!

I am absolutely dying - that princess is asking Changyue did this guy really marry you with betrothal gift and everything 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Omg did he just tell her she has terrible taste in men and she should go with him?! 🤢 Her response was 🔥🔥🔥

Shatranj ke Khiladi! It's a must watch.

It's always the endings with these shows - they hype you up throughout and the end is meh. I hope this one delivers.

Let me finish this first. I don't have viki on my TV sadly.

Yeah I don't expect it to happen but one can hope. Either way, very excited to continue with the series. So irritating that work comes in the way.

Marquis friend has more sense than him, telling Marquis that she's a tough one and leaving her behind is douchebaggery. Also I haven't got far enough, but I hope she says she will stay back and continue her thriving business because his offer isn't attractive enough for her to leave lol

That whole angle is just 🔥🔥 And she takes her job as head of household with full authority, making some Marquis brine ham and babysit her sister lol it's too awesome

I see that irl too tbh. People who are single minded about their one material success and completely bypass the development of their overall personality (cough tech bros cough) and are cowards.

Ooooh I would read that. She's so incredible. I love how she's just like oh, this magistrate is supposed to be a high ranking official but he's useless. Let me talk to his daughter instead. And the daughter totally comes through. She's so unbothered about powerful figures I love it.

Yes! Even the little girl is such a badass. Happily and proudly telling everyone what a badass her pig butchering sister is 😂 I also love how the 2 women come together and are basically like Song Yan is irrelevant lol

Hehe I watch at night. OK no spoilers until I catch up. Trying to avoid but also not avoid all online chatter about it 😬

Which episode? I'm on 16.

Funnily enough, I got into a deep inquiry with Claude, and it too, estimated that the world most urgently needs the capacity to sit with uncertainty and deep critical thought, but acknowledges that AI is killing it in us by giving us immediate answers to everything.

I dream of being able to study ancient eastern philosophy someday, taught by those who have lived those paths and not just academic theory professors. The way the world is going, I predict it will be of utmost importance to the human race.

I feel like there should be an extra field on the standard wellness depression anxiety questionnaire in these times.

Not disproportionately anxious or worried

Every day we stray further from God's light

Anyone else see a man smoking a pipe?

‘Hey’ came before ‘hi,’ and ‘hi' came before ‘hello.’

‘Hi’ is most likely a variant of ‘hey.’

‘Hello’ is not related to either.

Goodbye.

We have hit a new low. I overheard a person in a "spiritual growth" community talking about "habit stacking" - listening to spiritual course lessons while they clean, to get the max productivity out of the experience.

We want to live - we want to live comfortably - we have to make ourselves extremely uncomfortable in order to live comfortably - so we end up living uncomfortably our whole lives. WHOSE IDEA WAS THIS DAMN IT?!

I don't know who thought it was a good idea to put us on this planet and make us pay to to live, when we didn't ask to be here. We could have all just been chilling in nothingness, no bills, no war, no calories to worry about.
