Also, I would like to point out that Ruthie's shenanigans are effectively trapping Sookie there. Neither cat likes the higher platform and it's too difficult to jump down to the condo porch.

Mabel Hubbard also went deaf at age five and grew up oral. I remember getting the impression she had some internalized audism.

Even funnier that Elon's brother got to go and he didn't.

So many frozen juice concentrates are gone now. I remember seeing a full wall of them in the freezer section when I was a kid, half a wall in my mid-20s and maybe one sad row when I looked recently :( Old Orchard had a really good blend I remember liking.

heads up for anyone who has already blocked Neil Gaiman.

if you previously followed Neil before finding out he had assaulted multiple women, Bluesky might still have you set as following him.

Valid!! It also has some fascinating worldbuilding in there but it didn't hold my interest as long this time around.

It started out interesting like I remembered, then there was a stretch of boring episodes that didn't seem as plot-relevant. Weird for such a short anime.

I definitely want to try shredded carrots dressed in Thousand Island on roast beef and cheddar now.

Per the Mountain Dew subreddit, it was 50/50. www.reddit.com/r/mountainde...

Okay 1) there's a character with my actual name in this book 2) the MC gets given a sign name, which is *very* similar to mine. It's like this was made for me, lol

What's really making this book sing for me so far that it's not 100% about the MC being deaf- it's more about her journey into sustainable food in a world that's moving away from that. And this is where I yell at my newest story idea to hatch, because this is what so many Deaf stories are missing

This page- now me sighs in exasperation, teenage me would have gotten angry.
