Parody of "Break Free" by Arianna Grande to be about quitting

Just an idea I had for a parody recently.  If you hate it, quit it I should've said it before Tried to hide it, fake it I can't pretend anymore I only wanna die alive Never by the hands of a burnout job I don't wanna hear you call tonight Now that I've built my resume up This is the part when I say I want to quit ya Urge's stronger than it's been before This is the part when I break free 'Cause I can't resist it no more This is the part when I say I want to quit ya Urge's stronger than it's been before This is the part when I break free 'Cause I can't resist it no more You paid better, greater I was under your spell, yeah Like a deadly fever, yeah, job On the highway to hell, yeah I only wanna die alive Never by the hands of a burnout job I don't wanna hear you call tonight Now that I've built my resume up This is the part when I say I want to quit ya Urge's stronger than it's been before This is the part when I break free

Thoughts on 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way season 6, episode 12

Time for some catharsis? IT'S ALSO A GOOD PLACE TO MURDER YOU, SHEKINAH SHEKINAH, THESE GESTURES ARE INSUFFICIENT (she seems to understand this, but seems to think he can make sufficient gestures in the future) I do love Sean's accent Okay, Dempsey, you know I love ya, but it's pretty clear that Statler is anxious Dempsey, it's not the moment to have this conversation Gosh Josh and Lily are awkward I hope this therapist fires Sarper Yes, they will be angry and shocked, Joanne Oy...this isn't going well Sean, Joanne's friend did actually say congratulations Yes, it was important that they met, but that should've happened BEFORE getting married WRAPPED UP FOR TWO YEARS? Next time Josh has a surprise Next time Corona learns about the midwifery program in Iceland Next time Corona learns she needs to learn WAY more Icelandic Next time Meitalia and James come to an impasse? Next time Sean and Joanne's kids are still in shock Next time Sean and Joanne's kid

15 things to do in your dad's hospital room

This is meant to be a related piece to  "15 Things You Find in Your Dad's Hospice Room" and "15 Things You Find When You Clean Out Your Dad’s Apartment" . Tell yourself you can panic later (you'll likely never find the time to, but it'll help) Wear a mask because he's immunocompromised (and besides, you've been out trying to live a life which means you could've caught something) Turn on the Olympics because he can't use a remote anymore and no one has helped him (besides, it's always on these days and he at least used to enjoy it) Practice your sanitized answers to his questions (he won't remember them, but no need to alarm him about in his life, your life, or the world for even a moment) Try not to be in the way of the nurses (you'll fail) Sit on the bed because there is no where else to (and realize your arm is resting against his urine jug) Worry that his bed should be alarmed when he gets up to go to the bathroom (he make

Time to meet a new couple! Oh Chidi didn't explain his abstinence from sex is religiously rooted? A man cooking for me would be so sexy Adnan's family seems surprisingly chill Wait, what happened to Tigerlily's glam? New couple alert! Veah does seem close to Rory, but in theory that could be okay Loren's "girlfriend test" sucks Faith is so reasonable and special and Loren is just unworthy It says a lot Loren that the kind of way you want to get to know Faith first is physically This poor hairstylist OF COURSE YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THIS SIDE OF ADNAN BEFORE, TIGERLILY, YOU HADN'T SEEN ADNAN UNTIL YESTERDAY Rayne, you eat meat though...oh man, you even eat chicken... Rayne...you don't see them as equal to people...because you don't eat people (I assume) Ah I'm sorry, Veah OMG VEAH, HAVE YOU LOOKED UP NOTHING? Yeah, Veah, seems like bringing Rory is a bad plan Okay, Brian, we get it, you want to have sex with Ingrid Ingrid, it is a lot of info, but

Creating a new D&D world, part 10

I recently purchased  The Ultimate RPG Game Master's Worldbuilding Guide: Prompts and Activities to Create and Customize Your Own Game World  by James D'Amato  and it, and going whale watching, inspired me to create a new D&D world.

First debate between Harris and Drumpf stream of consciousness

Stream of consciousness seems best for this experience. And yes, I will not give up the Drumpf joke. Whoops, misspeaking with the first question Drumpf, all we've done for the world isn't all good Drumpf pivots to immigration--shocker Drumpf's blue jacket blends in with the background Seems like they gave up on the whole not turning on mics when it's not their turn thing Okay, Kamala is not a Marxist I'm not sure I'm going to make it through this debate without screaming Wow I really might not make it through this I wish some of what Drumpf was saying was true (e.g. that there wouldn't be fracking if we elected Harris) I think I need to do breathing exercises I wish they'd cut mics when they said they would I can't give this thing my full focus or I will go bonkers Don't get me wrong, there are things with Biden that I dislike, but worst in history? I bet Drumpf doesn't even know our history Harris is the worst VP in history? Aaron Burr liter

15 ways to get involved in this election

If you want to feel like you're doing something! Write postcards to voters (ask me how!) Phone bank for candidates you believe in (this doesn't appeal to me personally, but maybe it does to you!) Go door to door for candidates you believe in (this doesn't appeal to me personally, but maybe it does to you!) Volunteer to be an election judge (this doesn't appeal to me personally, but maybe it does to you!) Engage in protests or other political events you believe in (they can make a difference!) If your area has local town halls, attend them (you will likely learn something and can hopefully get your voice heard!) Get loud about issues and candidates you believe in (don't forget local ones!)

Time for some distrust?  Statler, how did you think the way you brought up your issues wouldn't make her cry? This is sweet of Dempsey No, Shekinah, he a bad! Don't go see him! Yike, Meitalia's massage looks so bad No, Joanne, it was important for your boys to get to know Sean before you got married  Shekinah...leave this man James and Meitalia should break up Statler, you need more meds (I say as someone who is on meds) Next time Sarper breaks bottles cathartically? Next time Sarper has a surprise (I think it's burning his notebook?) Next time Lily and Josh talk about sex Next time Joanne and Sean say they're married Next time Dempsey and Statler have a big conversation when Statler is freaking out Next time looks good Can't wait!

15 thoughts on RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars LIVE!

Saw this last night and had a grand old time. I had a great time For some reason, there was a 7 year old at this show I wish Nina West was there The dancing was incredible I plan to buy some drag queen merch soon It was an amazing feeling to have the urge to sing my heart out to songs as the queens danced I really enjoyed that other Ru girls had bought tickets and come out to support the All Stars (I LIVED for the Brooke Lynn Hytes and Vanjie reunion) There were a few issues with spotlights when the queens went into the crowd I loved the audience quick drag competition Shannel is a fantastic host I appreciated that the queens took time to spread good messages (e.g. support the trans community and to truly be an ally, you have to act like it on, let's just say, election day) The outfits were amazing I, sadly, had to leave early, but I did get to see Vanjie perform and she was high-key my favorite queen there (but I did love all the performances) It's hard to believe, but 3,300 p

Thoughts on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 7, episode 2

Don't know what's coming up because last episode only had a season preview. I did not know that chicken diapers were a thing, but Rayne has taught me something Ho boy Rayne is really looking forward to something that won't happen Oh great, Rayne didn't did any research (did she even talk to her doctor about travel?) "I'd rather date an alien or like a high-tech monkey,"--Rayne Wow Tigerlily is bringing glam I'd go to Jordan to see Petra Ho boy Adnan is going to be mad that Tigerlily literally brought a man with her (yes, he has a partner and is part of her glam squad, but I don't think Adnan will like him) Faith seems so nice, I want better for her Oh, Faith, Loren isn't who you think he is You are not making the right decision, Tigerlily YES, TIGERLILY, THAT'S WHY IT'S A POOR DECISION Ingrid, it's been two years and you two haven't talked about if he'd move to Brazil or if you'd move to the states? Oh great, Ingrid has

15 thoughts on season 21 of The Bachelorette

The season just wrapped, so here are some thoughts! What a brutal finale I feel like the show was pretending to have Jenn's back rather than just actually having it There were some fun characters this season (e.g. Hakeem) I wish Jenn had asserted herself a bit more this season (e.g. just being like "No, I will not jump off this building. That is a hard boundary.") It was shocking to me that they just jetted off right away and then came back to the US I would like for the record to show though, that I did successfully predict she'd propose So, are they permanently going to use this new mansion (on the preview for The Golden Bachelorette  they showed the cast being at the original mansion)? I'm excited to see Grant as the next Bachelor As always, Jenn sent some people home night one that I would've kept and kept some people I would've sent home I am actually tempted to watch this next season of Bachelor in Paradise At times, my thoughts on the men were defin

Time for some poor choices?  I mean yeah not wanting to have a kid is fair, James, but you did tell Meitalia's parents that you wanted kids When did 90 Day  get so bold with talking about sex? Statler...you should've had these financial conversations EARLIER Gosh I could not have a partner like Dempsey (this isn't a judgment thing, it's a difference thing--it would stress me out so much for someone to be so carefree) Josh, learn some of Lily's language Y'all got in a fight cause of a flashing light? Shekinah...dump Sarper Corona is accepting the bare minimum from Ingi CORONA YOU SHOULD'VE HAD THESE DOUBTS BEFORE MOVING TO ICELAND Lily asked a question, Josh Yes, Statler, your van is going to use more fuel Okay the van should be in Dempsey and Statler's names, to be fair Still to come James tries durian (and maybe has tried rotting human flesh?) Still to come Corona reveals she broke Ingi's penis Still to come Statler and Dempsey didn't think abou

Thoughts on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days season 7, episode 1

Season premiere! 130 chickens feels like a lot of chickens, Rayne Chidi seems nice Loren is a drag queen assistant and I love it Loren and Faith said I love you in a day? Of course Loren has not told Faith about his financial situation nor the fact that he wants to move to her Tigerlily is a fun name Of course Adnan is 22 Where does one get a certification for being a handwriting expert? Tigerlily...you have kids to protect Brian is a rideshare driver who can manage to afford a visa? Brian was shot??? Ho boy Rayne thinks she can convert Chidi to her "woke" beliefs Loren...moving to the Philippines is totally legit, but you need to talk to Faith about it Loren, you're not exclusive and you "hint" at sleeping with other people... So, Loren, open relationships are legit, but part of all relationships is clear communication I feel like Brian is talking differently Tigerlily, do you have friends whom you don't pay for their time? (To be clear, this isn't judg
