  • I’ll have to read it! We just moved to NorCal and joined our local library, so I’m sure I can find it there! If not, the Libby app!

    My husband and I did the drive to Reno over Halloween weekend, and we went over Donner Pass.

    Lemme tell you if you’ve never been, that section of the US is breathtakingly beautiful, but I could ALSO see how it is devastatingly, oppressively terrifying. And that was even with clear roads and little mountain towns sprinkled around. I got chills thinking about if there was nothing except chest deep snow, dying fires, and blankets to keep warm.









  • I, as a pro-birth control/pro-choice lady, believe lady-oriented birth control has nothing to do with that (perhaps naiively).

    Pregnancy, even the healthiest, safest ones, are hard on our bodies. That means that anything that prevents them is theoretically better than if we’re constantly/repeatedly pregnant. Even if its harmful for mental health or long term effects on organs. Pregnancy fucks us up outright both mentally and physically. Like day one.

    Obviously I’m simplyifying a bit, but you understand the gist of my logic.

    Men dont have HAVE to deal with pregnancy, period, so anything that introduces harm, even minutely, is automatically a worse quality-of-life option for them.

    Am I pro-male birth control? Hell yeah I am. I just recognize that they’re giving up more than we would be to accept the same risks, given that they dont have to experience pregnancy to begin with, and I dont trust/expect them to do that.

    Therefore, it makes logical sense to me that we’re the ones targeted.





  • I’ve never been to SF, but we just moved to NorCal earlier this year and I’m SO stoked to visit. I absolutely believe that there’s a homeless issue there because I’ve been to major metropolitan areas before: Houston, Baltimore, Vegas, Paris, Tokyo, etc etc etc but I simply do NOT buy into the hype of there just being endless amounts of human shit and discarded needles in the streets.

    In my head, I have it built up as this glamorous place with good food and pretty bay views with the huge hills and colorful houses and streetcars.

    Honestly I think I want to spend my birthday there in March, and I’m pretty excited. Any and all bar/museum/restaurant/atlas obscura oddity recc’s welcome from locals/people who have been are welcome!




  • Such a missed opportunity for great co-op Sims games. I LOVED the co-op Sims 2.

    There are co-op mods for Sims 4, but you and your friend have to go in and manually disable any packs that the other doesn’t have, and it gets a little buggy every once in a while.

    Still grateful it exists!
