I was also thinking about doing a thread with all the books I read this year, so maybe I can start that before going to bed.
Okay, let's see.
Books I've read in 2025

Also I never thought I'd be back in this space where people collectively wait for a new episode of a show to drop every week. Who would've thought?!

Man, I love him and all the books so much. It might be time for a reread in January 🥰
There's a bit in Deal with the Devil where everyone is pointing a gun at everyone else, and Gray is just standing there, eating some freeze-dried apples and casually observing the incipient violence.
That is how you know Gray is the scariest one.

as a small person, I’ve learned a core survival strategy is knowing how to come off as genuinely insane when threatened

I made Mr M a birthday gift and if I don't see at least a tiny tear in the corner of his eye when I give it to him, I don't think he appreciates it enough.

It's after 3am and I'm sleepless again for no good reason and so I'll ramble a bit. I think for me it's been quite the ride, to watch the reactions and hype, and the hype around the reactions, when it comes to Heated Rivalry. I just listened to the Vibe Check Pod & laughed a lot.

Also today I got tongue tied because my team lead was thanking me for my work last night (I was basically an additional advisor for one of her youth groups dealing with a fuckton of issues) and she went on about how my perspective was so needed simply bc I'm much more knowledgeable in many ways.

I think my scroll through the digital world today was consistently a worsening case of "this is getting more absurd with every line". So many things, so many questions and I'm not sure I even want to ask about even one of them.

As glad as I am to do my job well, today was another instance of being praised into more work so I didn't get home until midnight and Mr was already asleep. We've never been more like ships passing in the night. -.-

Easy. This used to be our go-to movie on weekends in the 2000s. For months. Still love the soundtrack and Kate today.

Oh yeah. In Germany, especially the eastern part, the US has historically been used not only as a distraction but the worst example in order to downplay and deny issues here.
Best example might always be police brutality & racism in the police force.

The thing about being an US born person of immigrant extraction who has also lived in a couple of other countries and traveled to a bunch more is... I can be both very clear eyed in the way the US sucks while also being aware of how other countries use the USA's failings to distract from their own.

Having to give up on sleep at 4:30 in the morning is really shitty, but especially on a Sunday. I'll now drink some tea and then try some gentle stretches so I might be able to lie still and fall asleep for at least a little bit. The cat has not been helping so far.

Blergh, going to bed early and being kept up by nerve pain and skin tingles is actually somehow worse than staying up until 2am on purpose. I'd even take insomnia over this bullshit, this is terrible and I'd like a new spine now please. -.-

Welp. There was a young queer person on my TL, explaining enthusiastically that the hype for HR was proof that straight cis women who like to see gay men fuck aren't the enemy, but the greatest allies and I'm just... I know they'll learn but it was also very hard not to scream into the void.

I couldn't pick up Mr M from work bc he has to stay longer AND I wanted to go home an hour before the big soccer game started. Mistakes were made all around.🫠

So. Today I tried to avoid the Christmas market masses & went through the city backstreets. Suddenly I was standing right in front of my old university grounds. I've never given myself permission to make peace with this institution & the higher education that failed us so spectacularly in many ways.

Ack, I'm procrastinating bc I have to go into the city and I do want to surprise Mr M with a work pick up he doesn't know will happen but I also know things will be terrible with the Christmas market on a Saturday afternoon. Also I need to wash my hair and I don't want to, so here I am.

Not a single person. The only time I even turn gps on in the first place is when I have to go somewhere and need directions or if I want to check traffic on my commute to guess when I'll be at work/back home.
Do yall share your location with someone?

Y'know, if I could make a wishlist of queer romances with some spice that I'd love to be adapted next, none of them would've hockey in it but that's not what the show rn is about either, so.
There's too many to list them all but let me try.
Queer romance shows I'd pay a fuckton of money for:

Oh yeah. I saw the episode title of HR episode 3 and as a surprise to not one single person, the people already making it weird go absolutely unhinged bc of Hunter/Kip.
There's a section of hockey romance readers who just... Doesn't ever learn how to act right, my God.

By which I mean more people whose heroism includes many mundane acts of safety, dignity, and grace,
but also more people reminding us that defining heroism by being John Wick against a kind of violent force is an insult to the many ways we actually improve—and save—lives as people every day.

Today my teens made plans to attend a country wide protest tomorrow against the reinstatement of compulsory military service they're currently planning in this country.
It got me very emotional, especially bc so many have parents at home who get angry at them for protesting.

Welp. Against my will I've been pulled into a case I was planning on pointedly not being a part of. Not bc I don't think serious intervention is needed but bc this isn't even remotely my case, my age group or has anything to do with the kids coming to my youth center.
