So Jurassic Park is about a group of rich people who don't understand that biology is far more complicated than "there are only two genders" and how this ignorance toward gender fluidity in nature causes these rich people to lose their money and die.

As we know this does not count because he pays a lot for it

Also he very loudly left the city, why is he back? We do not want him back!

Hell, I know someone whose grandparents are from Central Europe (Hungary) who had their name changed at Ellis Island because the Hungarian one was too much for the clerk. It for sure happened!

I have heard sometimes it is to keep showing the titles (which is whole other question as to why) but you can put paper covers on books if you want them to match! And it will look nicer!

Mine will steal paper and foil out of the recycling bin!
Another big fave is the handle of a paper grocery bag, for some reason it's SUPER FUN.

I just nodded when I saw it. Yes, logical on multiple levels.

Too many people view reading as “something you do” rather than “a skill that can be developed.”

If you want to get better at kicking a football, you have to kick a lot of footballs. If you want to get better at reading, you have to read a lot of books.

Also, it’s fun to be good at things!

I was totally fine other than a slightly sore arm. My husband was tired for a day or 2.

I have been reading Icelandic sagas and it cracks me up that the Faroes are sometimes referred to as the Faeries
(Great knitting culture!)

All fiction is fantasy if you really think about it

I had this around the time I turned 40 but with Radiohead. All of a sudden they were AMAZING.

For real though

I need to get back to that one, it really is enjoyable in a violent way

Perhaps buying an additional suitcase...

Amanda @msemmalyon.bsky.social · 1d

One of my favorite recipes, it must always be shared!

It’s Canadian Thanksgiving and although I know the Sweet Potato Macaroni Cheese that’s #RecipeOfTheDay doesn’t exactly fit the bill, it’s such a favourite, and I thought it could just possibly find a place at the table! www.nigella.com/recipes/swee...

Sweet Potato Macaroni Cheese

I’m just going to say it: this is the best macaroni cheese I’ve ever eaten. I don’t feel it’s boastful to say as much, as the greatness lies not in any brilliance on my part, but in the simple tastes ...

I bought a big thing of yeast and keep it in a quart size jar in the freezer. It's been at least 2 years and it is totally fine.

Bonus: mason jars are great for freezer storage
