Every once in a while, I see people wonder why, out of all of the available Pokémon to choose, Poliwhirl was so often shown front and center. Especially in the case of Pokémon's marketing in America.

Well, I'm going to do my best to answer that question now.

I think also about how it doesn’t matter if those girls ever decide to be dancers

What matters is seeing it was an option. That they can make the choice

LOL my mom set them up at her nail salon!!! Absolutely bonkers Vietnamese mother energy!!!

My books, The Magic Fish and Angelica the Bear Prince, are set up on a marble countertop under a sign that my mother made and printed with clip art! It says, “Need a Gift Idea? Perfect for any occasion.”

Maybe it's named after the moon, rather than the mythological creature?

Yet another rejection... I have four estate agents on the look out for suitable properties at the moment and no luck what-so-ever. Starting to think that I'm gonna have to wait until 2026 when they've finished converting the old Wilko's into flats ....

What are their thoughts on the extended version? I know some people think the game is too short, so have proposed expanding across the UK to include places like Lee, Barry, and Keith?

Sunlitlake @sunlitlake.bsky.social · 5d

Dayum. That really is plunging the depths. Although I was always more one for The Masterson Inheritance than Bleak Expectations.

It's okay, you can say Cain Pressure. (Or possibly "Welcome to Our Village Please Invade Quietly"?)

It's always good when the only advice the council can give you "Don't worry, this is just the first part of the eviction process. They have to get a court order to make you leave, and that could take months." 🙃

Place went to someone else. Got another rejection email today for another property. I can see a court order in my future ....

Well, looked, and it does have step free entry all the way inside. Wheelchair fitted through front door. Bathroom isn't what I need, but it's a bit grotty so I figure offering a free refit would considered okay. Much smaller than current place, but cheaper too so makes sense. See how it all goes?
