The Whole #barbenheimer Thing Is Peak Crap Of The Internet. It's Just Another Oddball Cringe Trend That

I've been going to Magfest since 2013 (even 2020). I was actually nervous to go because the mask requirement was removed. The tickets sold out, so way more people attending. But I wore the mask for myself, which was fine, and I was actually able to do things, like play games without waiting forever.

I learned vinyl and cassettes are back for new music! I didn't buy any because I didn't have a chance to sample the music before buying.

I've been to several cons, but this one by far is my favorite because of all the things you can do and enjoy in a weekend. Looking forward for next year.

The song is catchy, but I really just loved the backflips. Rock on.

Journaling: an obsession

If you have ever kept a notebook and wrote notes about your day or lists of ideas and things to do, you would know a little about what gets people into journaling. Then there is a point when this habit becomes a hobby. Sometimes a hobby can be a borderline obsession. I’ve come to the conclusion that stationery and journaling as a concept has become an obsession that I need an intervention for.…

I'm just going to leave this here, because this woman said what I've been trying to articulate for ages much more effectively and succinctly than I've been able to

Professor McGonagall Protects Hogwarts | Harry Potter and the Deathly Ha...

Professor McGonogall was definitely a favorite character out of the whole Harry Potter series. I loved Dame Maggie Smith in everything she’s acted in, such an understated actress. I watched this today after not seeing this movie since it came out in the theater and cried. She will be missed.

'How Dare You': Katie Porter Clashes With Pro-Gun Witness After Accusing...

Katie Porter is someone I fully support being a representative for the people. I’m not of her state, so I can’t vote for her specifically, but time and time again she exhibits the best lawmaker behavior for making this country a better place. She proves her point and highlights these evil and manipulative people in their lies and turns it on them.

Also, fully support we move towards more consumer protection for all dangerous products. Her point makes so much sense as to why any sort of manufacturer should have any immunity at all?

I felt this. That quote was a gut wrench. Every parent-child relationship is complex, and the love was there. This book series captures so many aspects of love with it's characters.

***Iron Flame SPOILERS****

I am so incredibly disappointed with what everyone is choosing to talk about with this book. Everyone is concentrating on what happens with Xaden but you know what to me was the absolute most gut wrenching storyline in the whole book? General Lilith Fucking Sorrengail.

From the moment we see her again in the beginning of the book she is nothing but supportive and proud of her daughter. Yes, she absolutely made the wrong decision where she stands in the war, and what she did to Xaden was absolutely inexcusable. (Although I do think if she hadn’t done that they would have killed all the marked ones.) But she made all those decisions for her children. Because she did what she needed to to keep them safe. You can’t convince me that even after Violet leaves, that even after Mira leaves, that she wasn’t incredibly thankful for the fact they were together and with Xaden who would never let something happen to Violet.

Lilith went into the dungeons to get her daughter out of there and I am not unconvinced that had Violet not already been mid rescue the General wouldn’t have turned traitor right there to get her out. The scene when Brennen reveals himself to her?? She’s cracking and can hardly hold herself together and my heart felt so sorry for her in that moment. It made me mad at Brennan because he threw it in her face like ammo when Violet spent all of fourth wing describing how his death ruined their mother.

One of the most heart breaking quotes in the whole book is at the beginning of chapter 65:

“Most generals dream of dying in service to their kingdom. But you know me better than that, my love. When I fall, it will be for one reason only: to protect our children.”

General Sorrengail didn’t support the war, she didn’t fight for Navarre she made it clear fron the beginning that she was just a mom protecting her kids, and she did so without second thought. Without hesitation. She didn’t do what she did for the war effort, or even to help everyone on the battlefield. She did it for Brennen, and Violet, and Mira.

Lilith Sorrengail was just a desperate mother and everyone glossing over her sacrifice is bullshit.
