Your range is pretty broad. For digital media I have found myself using the Library more and more

Libby- ebooks, audiobooks, magazines

Hoopla- music, ebooks, audiobooks, and TV

Kanopy- films and documentaries

High rise pantyhose tend to be very comfortable as long as it isn’t too hot. They’re nice because they don’t slide down. Most have some extra elastic that helps keep your belly looking smoother and flatter, as well as keeping the lines from showing.

My issue with low rise is that if it’s not up to your waist there’s a higher risk of them sliding down. It’s super uncomfortable when you’re walking and the crotch of your pantyhose is now halfway down your thigh. There’s no good way to fix it either without going to the bathroom to adjust. Slipping does depend quite a bit on your build, the pantyhose size and type, and the brand, so trial and error will find you the best ones.

Best of luck finding good hose!

I try to pick a small activity that I cannot do in bed and needs to be done regularly. For me, that’s practicing my instrument. Doesn’t need to be an intense practice, just picking it up and doing some scales and warm ups tends to kick me into a different mode. Also, being part of an orchestra provides the external pressure which means I have to do it.

I know! It took me forever to find the singles a decent price. I am glad that Dark Horse has stopped hating their manga fans. It wasn’t mentioned in the article, but I hope they’re hardcovers.

Trying to find little things to keep me sane. Just changed out my fountain pen ink for my Valentines cards.

I really liked Iron Widow. The female lead is one tough woman fighting in a super unjust world. It’s a sci-fi with mechs and the world building is interesting. The sequel just came out and I am really enjoying how the series is unfolding.

Piggy backing off of this comment. Most libraries offer more than just books. CDs and digital music aside, they also check out things. My library has a telescope that can be checked out for free as well as state parks and aquarium passes. Another one has a 3d printer available that lets you print at 10cents per minute. Libraries are incredible.

Holidays are pretty good. Called the fam, my parents are coming out over the weekend so we’re opening presents then. Making a small feast for just us. Made Christmas cookies yesterday so that’s dessert. Other than that it’s just playing Hollow Knight and going on walks.

Oh man! It’s so uncanny but the hat is so festive! It embodies the series perfectly. A+

The code stack at my company. At one time, I was confident that I could affect change, add modern features, and make the process form streamlined and user friendly. Now I get to explain our tech debt to our new not yet soulless new hires.

Behind the Bastards and The Dollop both featured the park on their podcasts. If you’re interested in other flavors.

Uhhh light novels are mostly text with maybe 5 illustrations in a 300pg book. Perhaps you’re thinking of manga?

I see you and raise, Las Vegas, NM.

They actually do care believe it or not. When our city council was voting on municipal fiber we showed up to petition our conservative city council representative to vote in favor. Guess who also attended, a representative from our federal senator’s office. Oh man the look on his face when only 3 members of the public showed up, two of them major supporters of municipal broadband, and the third spoke up to agree with us. Mmmm priceless. The city council man and conservative rep were so damn flustered. The senator’s rep took notes the whole time and we got to talk to him one on one. These outreach events do way more than you would think, this is how they gauge what they can get away with. Don’t let them discourage you, show up and bitch!

Spider is one of my all time favorites. I loved the LN, the world building was fantastic. The way the author laid out the mysteries of the world and the dynamics was perfection. Also, it’s a isekai that forces its characters to actually deal with living in another world. It’s not a throwaway plot point that explains why they’re so much better, smarter, ect than the locals.

Ok so I know that this is controversial, but if I recommend One Piece to a new person I recommend the live action. I know it has its flaws, BUT, it cleans up the pacing issues that I had in the early series. It honestly feel way more accessible than the daunting +1000 episodes, that’s not a binge watch, that’s a depressive episode.

Nope, just finished some scales and arpeggios and was moving on to some warm up pieces.

I am learning an instrument as an adult and my instructor commented “You’re so good at recognizing patterns.” That comment hit way harder than it had any right to.

Also she’s from the Bay Area, every house starts at a million. So just owning a home in the area she lived and worked in would make her a millionaire by default. It’s such a bad metric.

This is pretty much the best security one can expect for a bike. If you need better or to lock up your bike overnight, check if your town has bike lockers.
