@Tez I shouted OWLBEAR DON’T CARE at the screen when it went wild!
That trailer got me PUMPED.

@BurnNotice Is that–holy crap, that is Sophia Lillis! Okay, I’m in.

So I have absolutely no idea why this happens, but every now and then, usually during the summer, all of the advertising algorithms on my social media accounts have some sort of meltdown. And when they do, they start advertising… I don’t know how to put it, but just the weirdest, most random stuff. It comes completely out of nowhere and continues for about a week or so until one day it just stops.
You’d think I would shrug at this and not be posting it in the “RL Happy” thread, but. BUT. Without fail, there seems to be some sort of theme interconnecting these advertisements. And without fail, this theme is hilarious and I spend the entire week cackling madly at things that randomly show up as I’m casually going about my day, browsing the internet.
Two years ago, the theme seemed to be “Assorted Crotch Related Products”. This summer it seems like I’m getting “A Series of Romance-Slash-Softcore Porn Novels Written by Someone Who Saw Chuck Tingle’s Career and Decided to Take it Seriously.”
I now present a curated selection for your enjoyment.

You’re welcome, BMD. Now if you’ll please excuse me, I need to go see what this ad for Mouth Tape That is Totally About Curing Snoring, No Really, They Promise is all about.
ETA: These are all links to screenshots I took while cackling, not to the actual products. I promise I’m not trying to suck you into my vortex of “WTF?!” digital marketing.

It’s really stealth bondage gear.

I cried today in a room full of hundreds of people.
But I wasn’t the only one, because it was Hadestown, and I was completely, totally blown away. The album is already great, but the context of the live show elevated it to at least my top two live theatre performances.
It’s an old song…

It had the same effect on me. I saw Hadestown pre-Covid with the original cast and it instantly became my favorite show even over Wicked, Hamilton, and Lion King. The story, the staging, the music… it all came together for me.

@Selira Last time I cried at a concert it was Peter Gabriel, man just had this crazy charisma it was so intense and amazing.

@Selira I love this musical so much! So happy it was great live!

So, I’m not a big anime fan at all but being interested in what my kids are interested in so that I can keep in touch with who they are and whatnot has always been a huge thing for me. All my kids have issues with anxiety, and things like letting one of them show me ARG videos all night on YouTube or another play me all the latest RnB music+videos on YouTube or Spotifywhen they can’t sleep or a third mixing random weird marbled paints for us to flick all over posterboard we lean against walls so they can detox from the daily torture in high school were ways I helped them work through shit that sometimes they wouldn’t even detail to me.
Fast forward ten years, everybody’s married, has kids, are struggling with serious mental health issues or the fallout from such, and it just tickles me to no end that my son calls me up to tell me about this wicked bad new anime (the last one was Vinland Saga which I fucking LOVED so he’s hoping to make it a streak) then does the math and realizes he has time to get over here and watch it with me before he goes to work, while I’m alone in the house and a bit under the weather.
TL;DR I fucking love my kids, man.

I’m going to double post based off the idea that moar good is moar better to share.
ALSO real life happy for me today was getting my spider-vac in the mail AND IT WORKS!
I hate killing anything, even flies, mosquitos, spiders, vinegaroons, pedes… even shit that scares me I just… I guess enough Buddhism stuck when I went through that phase that I can’t not grieve if I know I’ve cost a life, even a teeny tiny one, so getting to suck them up then pop them outside to be <whatever critter they are> in the right environment versus my pots and pans cupboard or sink really makes me happy.
With the 8000000 spiders born here in the past month, that’s going to be one mighty busy spider-vac.

I started this side gig doing content writing for websites. It’s eaten more of my brain than I care to admit.
Yesterday one of editors left such a NICE comment on this silly thing I wrote, that I’m still so delighted by it hours and hours later. It seriously made my entire week.

Are you Australian? You sound like my Australian friends
The spiders are pretty much lol’ing at me (and are big enough to hear) when I have to chase them with this fucking thing. So far I’m like 2 for 3 in getting them back to the wild, with one probably heading back to rally troops.
@DrQuinn Northeastern Nevada, near the borders with Idaho and Utah. It’s a terrible, but very cheap, place to live.

I had a liver biopsy last week because my numbers are terrible and some ultrasound scanning showed some worry spots. The results of the biopsy show no cirrhosis and no cancer which is such a relief. I feel like I’ve been holding my breath for a week.
lol lmao

Just popping in to say publicly that @IoleRae is always right, and this is a Good Thing
.As you were.

Thank you @eye8urcake those are absolutely my favorite words to hear. It is the best drug.

I am on vacation. For a week. An actual VACATION. I am not taking it for medical purposes, no surgeries, no crises, just time off using annual leave hours all together in a chunk. Even better, my SO will be off in a couple of hours, too. It’s exciting.

As someone who recently went through the same thing, I am so fucking glad to hear that. It’s absolutely terrifying to wait for those results.
