Okay weird question. I want to shop for a dress that is completely work inappropriate and I'd like to do it in NZ. Any suggestions for plus sizes? My only ideas were Zebranos but everything is relentlessly work appropriate and Ruby but it looks like their gowns don't go to my size

"being infants" After that one grandfather was a civil engineer and a moderator in the Presbytarian, one did all sort of stuff including boxing, boxing judging (at the Commonwealth Games), and nebulous real estate/building stuff I didn't understand as a child and also a professional philanderer.
Enough “what would you do on the commune questions” If you got sent back 100 years and were given your grandparent’s job, what are you doing?
Also can we all just be clear that her book was a bestseller ages ago?
THIS IS NOT ME WEIGHING IN ON WILSON V. NOLAN that being said a couple times now I’ve seen it hinted or outright said that it’s ungrateful of her to write a negative review of the movie because it helped her sell books but like: she doesn’t owe him anything. what are we even doing here
i hate how much people care about their ships being "canon" now. spirk fans didn't publish zines full of fanfics in the 70s only for modern fandom to grovel at the knees of corporations and beg for things to be canon. use your imaginations, don't allow billionaires to think for you.
Without saying your age, what's your favorite movie that came out when you were 18? BY A SQUEAK

I can't quote tweet that paul f tomkins post but MY dumb take is there is some stupid conspicuous consumption stuff that goes back around to fun and I think a postmix soft drink machine in your house counts as one of them, and ALSO it makes sense to stock it with the drinks you actually like
Nurse practitioner in an ED (likely lethal disaster), nurse educator in an HDU (likely lethal disaster), software developer in the public service (at least this disaster wouldn't be lethal)
Thought experiment- if you were suddenly appointed to do your sibling’s job, how badly would you suck at it?
I have some health stuff going on that has resulted in me cooking more than I have for ages, which is good for lots of reasons I guess but also I am STARVING and my soup is still AT LEAST TEN MINUTES AWAY

It's once again a dollar match day (anything you give gets doubled). I started this month with the flu and have ended booking an appointment to get what's probably strep throat looked at, and I still hit my goal. Consider this my one shameless guilt trip I am karmically owed.
At this point, I genuinely believe the entire public is being actively gaslit by both the media, and Esther Ghey herself, into forgetting that Brianna Ghey was murdered, by people she knew from school, in real life, who were partly influenced by transphobia, fuelled by the media and politicians.
I'm reading this fic and they don't enjoy fanon typical characterisation of Shane, which is fine and which they describe as projecting which it's not *not*, but then they also set their fic in like ... some kind of AU where no detail is right for the show or the books and Shane also hates his mom

The blood test place has quite a good take a numbered card, scan its barcode, go into a queue but it bothers me that the cards aren't in order. I have no idea how far away I am from being poked and I have a meeting in 30 minutes

Lately I can't sleep past about 5.30 regardless of what time I go to bed and this morning I decided to get up and start work and gosh it's a productive two hours when nobody else is logged on
I thought I was rooting for MPP to get a cup for the PWHL playoffs but Fanuza Kadirova won my heart in that series vs the Fleet so now I'm both kind of happy about any possible outcome and also kind of sad. I really wanted the Charge to tie it up so that OT goal was crushing although also v good
This guy who I really admire as a knitter posted some project notes for some hats he made with some whacky finishing techniques (you basically knit a super long stockinette tube, then reverse the stockinette for the crown, and then you fold the tube up and graft it to itself twice)
Holds up (Fleet/Victoire just went to triple overtime in an 0-0 game)
Controversial opinion PWHL goalkeeping should be worse
I'm so obsessed with spinning right now that I just came home, spun a bit, ate dinner, tidied my living room, put the rubbish out, folded some washing, had sex, went to bed, and now I'm lying in bed like "I could get up and do some more spinning it's not even that late"
I finished a couple of knitting projects this week! Both in handspun. The satisfaction is off the charts ngl
Yes, giving $ to former MPs and James Cameron and &c is repugnant. But those guys can avoid any plausible means testing if they choose But means testing will result in a certain number of poor people getting nothing because they didn't tick the right box. Ask any beneficiary
when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters
Had a really good knitting/crafty weekend (finished other than wet setting, my long draw sample spins, finished my handspun vest, restarted for the third time and finally successfully a handspun scarf) and now I'm at my desk just massively resenting that I have to work for a living
