Someone You Can Build a Nest In.

A funny little romance as told from the point of view of the monster terrorizing a town. She tries her best to woo a human and actually is a pretty supportive partner. It’s so weird and I love it.

I have aphantasia. The reason this experiment works is because someone with aphantasia will logically think about what they’re being asked, but since they’re not really “picturing” it, they won’t have any answers about details. Color, type, and size of the ball? I have no idea, that information wasn’t relevant to my mental checklist. For me, it really does work like a checklist. My brain supplies exactly zero imagery. For some people it’s more like a spectrum, where they might be able to have a hazy picture with minimal details.

But aphantasia is 100% real. It’s just hard for people to believe it because it’s so foreign to the way they’re used to thinking, in the same way it sounds unbelievably exhausting to me that regular people are constantly creating movies in their heads.

A first date was already not going well, and I said I needed to go. He decided that wasn’t happening. Ended up having to run away from him, literally, through a park area while wearing heels to reach my car. It was daytime and many people saw what was happening, but no one did a thing to help. But I’m sure if it hadn’t been daytime, he wouldn’t have “let me” get away after catching me. There were just too many eyes on him.

I wore comfortable shoes I can run in to all first dates after that.

If you live in Canada, absolutely do not do this. It can affect how much severance you’re entitled to.

The number of homeless people jumped by 16% (I assume compared to last year’s numbers). That doesn’t mean that 16% of people are homeless.

It’s happened in education and the inverse happened in computing.

You can have municipal regulations and be free to decide what to do with your own property aside from that. Most of the world does it and things work just fine, with the added benefit of no HOA troubles.

e. e. cummings did this for me with poetry. True masters of their craft know exactly the right ways to break the rules.

I hadn’t even considered that. I usually wet it first. I’ll try not doing that and see if i have a better experience.

Toothpaste that foams too much. Which is most toothpaste.

I’m halfway through reading Nona the Ninth right now and I’m absolutely loving it! Her perspective is hilarious

2.1 is maintenance level. Each child has 2 parents, and the .1 accounts for infant deaths, etc.

Lol Cuba can’t even afford bullets for military training.

In many countries, meat is subsidized.
