“B+ actresses” made me laugh

The quitting alcohol / magic 'shroom article is an interesting take on replacing alcohol intake. It seems like everywhere we look these days, another study is coming out stating the obvious effect alcohol has on all of us (TLDR: none of it is good for us lol). Seems like there is a long way to go on legalizing this option though.

"I spent sixth grade in a catholic boarding school run by nuns in her hometown of Atchison, Kansas (by far the most bizarre thing about me)" 😂 WOW! But also YAY Kansas!

Such great memories, also tornadoes, which, as a twister superfa,n was such a thrill when the alarm rang and we had to shelter in the basement. I want to go back sometime, but my partner always overrides it in favor of a more picturesque setting

I started Dept. Q this week with my partner and now I have to wait for her to come back from 1 week visiting her family to continue watching. It's going to be very hard!!! We only watched episode 1 but it's the first time in a while that I gasped at my screen several times during 1 episode.

What did you think of the Nicole Kidman style sisters show (I forgot the title already 😂)? I've read some not so good reviews and was thinking I might skip.

It's the worst when partners are not readily available to finish binge-watching a show -The better sister is just OK, but I'm an addict and I can't stop watching hahha

It's so hard for me right now to ignore Dept. Q. Especially when Netflix keeps pushing it to me 😂. But I'll be strong!

I've been binging all the shows I need to catch up on instead. I won't start Better sister because I'm like you and I can't stop once I start 😅. I just finished the second season of Lioness while thinking "why am I watching this" the whole time. But it's kinda catchy and it's hard to stop once you have invested time

I learned this week about the catastrophic climate impact of using AI—more fuel to the fire.

LOL at the catholic boarding school trivia about you! Enjoy your vacations :D

Also, I haven't liked a new show as much as I liked Dept Q. Finished it yesterday, and, of course, The better sister was also on my list hehe

It was an exchange student-type thing, but honestly, I don't understand how my parents thought that would be a good idea at the time. On the bright side, I learned English and spent all my allowance at Limited Too, which I wish still exist! And yes, PSL season is upon us hahaha.
