Watching a drama that was filmed in 2004, and I forgot how the clothes silhouette - particularly flared trousers and jeans for women - was such a predominant thing.

Remember:

For everything that one person finds to be Easy another person somewhere else on the planet finds doing the exact same thing Incredibly Difficult through no fault of their own.

@Faintdreams I can do scrambled eggs, for me they're Easy, but toast is Incredibly Difficult. I noticed it was the other way around for a lot of people I've cooked breakfast with.

@Supermouse This is further complicated because what constitutes 'good ' or 'perfect' toast or scrambled eggs is highly personal to the person eating it !

Soo The Gummi Bears cartoon series exists solely because Michael Eisner - the then CEO of Disney Inc - had a daughter who loved Gummy Bear Candy.

Wow.

"Adventures of the Gummi Bears is an American animated children's television series created by Jymn Magon and produced by Walt Disney Television Animation. The series .. takes place in a fantasy world of medieval lands and magic, and focuses on the lives of seven mystical beings known as Gummi Bears. " - Wikipedia

Probably a long shot - but does anyone know of an easy(ish) way to have Mastodon posts automatically cross post to a Dreamwidth account ?

So many friends and family went to Instagram / WhatsApp / Facebook - especially Facebook during the Pandemic and especially after Twitter became a (mostly) unusable and unstable cesspit, and Anything Zukerberg owns does me serious mental damage but .. I miss all those people so much.

Needed to search for something on my old Twitter (yes that's it's name) account. A certain 'Boy Wizard' Authors tweets are all over my 'following' tab and I am not and have never followed her.

It's a flaming Trashfire and I'm still so angry that a utility millions of people were using, was destroyed simply because the MOST Divorced (currently) Billionaire in the world wanted a new toy.

Last actual post (not repost) was around Aug 2023 (?), Dec (2023) was final post giving Mastodon details

Today I learned that there is an entire classification of fiction books which are deemed (and advertised as) 'Clean Books' and .. wow

Wow, wow, wow, wow.

Apparently a 'Clean Book' doesn't feature any graphic violence, cussing (swearwords) or sexual situations.

@Faintdreams@dice.camp avatar

Oh no it finally happened

I'm at chapter 4 of what should be a 7 part Fanfic, but it looks like the author abandoned it.. in 2017

It was sooo good and there was a mystery and now it shall forever be a cliffhanger :C

::sigh::

Looking for modern (so 2000's onwards or at least no older than mid 1990's) Mystery / Romance that DOES NOT involve murder.

Does such a thing exist?

Reccs please !

I assume that Mystery / Romance as a hybrid genre already exists but am not sure... 🤷🏿‍♀️

I know that ' Romance & ' as a genre is a far spanning horizon...

@satsuma for Iain Banks I'd definitely make a date range exception. Thanks !

@Faintdreams@dice.camp avatar

@RogerBW oooh I know that A. Christie was adamant about film adaptations not creating a Love Interest for Poirot, but didn't realize other writers considered it a cornerstone of the Crime / Mystery genre.

You have opened up a nice rabbit hole for me.

Thanks! 👍🏾

YouTuber: This punch needle project wasn't working with the knitting yarn I had, so I picked up some cheap embroidery thread to use instead because it comes in sooo many more pretty colours.

Apparently there is a difference between wool and embroidery stuff but I don't know what it is.
