Time Listening

So may I present my own casting choice for Odysseus:

Absolutely not

You know who would try that shit?

Is this the face of a man who would defy the very gods to get home to his wife?

You know who would defy the gods just to show he could get away with it?

THIS ISN’T THY GRANDMOTHERES STATION

A tiny cookie-sized Ray

Just found out about Finless Sleeper Rays

Look how small they get:

My first conversation about PCOS with my new endocrine/OBGYN was about weight management and how that could improve my fertility when I eventually wanted kids. It wasn't asked what my goals were for my health or if I wanted kids, just assumed.

I was a hormonal, depressed mess. I hated my body. My body dysmorphia was so bad that I cloistered myself away from so much. I wore hoodies and jeans in the 90°F, 80% humidity summers. This was considered fine. I was given metformin and birth control pills and told this was all that could be done. That PCOS wouldn't affect my life until I wanted to be pregnant. I wasn't asked if I wanted to be pregnant, just assumed.

I don't know how many PCOS groups I joined on my early 20s hoping to find community and commonality for body dysmorphia and symptom management, only to be bombarded with fertility treatments and tips and 'inspirational conception' anecdotes. They never asked if I was attempting to conceive, just assumed.

-switchel: water, ginger, vinegar, sweetener, lemon, salt

I ALWAYS keep a couple of those big pickles-in-a-bag on hand, because pickle juice is a perfect way to quickly replenish electrolytes in a pinch. Plus, Pickle juice can help alleviate nausea too!

pedialyte makes otterpops/freezies

many brands (LMNT is sold in stores here) make flavorless electrolytes so you can mix it into your favorite thing

if you use something with sugar in it, like gatorade, it'll freeze in those slushie cups

You can also blend pretty much any of these with ice or get a crushed ice/mini cube tray and just mix up your own

And like there was no permanent cast, all these celebrities seem to have gotten a scene or part of a scene to do (i’m not sure exactly, I did not ever watch Quibi and thus haven’t seen this yet), and then they just… recreated it as best they could. At home. Under quarantine.

So like, you had Jennifer Garner in a blanket cape playing Princess Buttercup AND the Booing Old Woman with a crowd comprised entirely of stuffed animals:

Or Taika Waititi paying Westley off a badly-drawn Inigo on a piece of cardboard held in front of someone’s face:

And it’s all just delightful.

But my absolute favorite part of this thing that I’ve sadly never seen but assume is probably absolutely hilarious and a treasure and I want to find it some day and watch the whole thing… is that Carey Elwes is in it.

As Prince Fucking Humperdink.

Here ya go

Nyan Cat in a Scene Style!!!
