Thoughts on RuPaul's Drag Race season 18, episode 5

Rate-A-Queen Talent Show, part 1! 

  1. Mia, how is Vita "a silent killer"? Like, her designs are loud (in a good way!)
  2. Myki is adorably nerdy
  3. Jane has some valid concerns
  4. Jane, I hear ya, but like...Rate-A-Queen is not new
  5. Well, I want to see Nini be a mantis
  6. Wow there is a lot of plotting happening
  7. This picking drama is not that interesting to me
  8. As per usual, I don't know the guest judge (though I did enjoy her Swedish lesson)
  9. Ciara's makeup is incredible, but the outfit isn't super interesting to me
  10. Juicy's makeup remains stunning, and while I like the concept of her look, it doesn't quite work for me
  11. Nini's look idea is fun, but it is too messy for me
  12. Vita is, as I expected, impeccable
  13. Darlene's face and hair are great, but I really don't like the dress
  14. Something about Mia's makeup is not singing for me, but, wow, can she sell a garment
  15. Myki's idea is great, but it seems wobblier than is ideal
  16. Athena's look is fantastic, but, like with Mia, something about the makeup feels a bit amiss
  17. Kenya really knows what colors and cuts look incredible on her (and wow, I wouldn't have known it was a last minute creation)
  18. Jane's look is so fun, but I think a TINY bit of editing could've gone a long way
  19. Discord had a great idea for her look, but it didn't fit her in the most compelling way
  20. Okay, so, Ciara's performance was wild, but like, good for her (and what an incredible outfit)
  21. Juicy is an AMAZING dancer, but the song wasn't my favorite (but, still, a great performance)
  22. I literally shouted "INCREDIBLE" when Nini bit the head
  23. Oop Kenya AND Ru clocked Vita's sneakers
  24. Vita...that was not enough
  25. Darlene's act was cute, fun, and funny
  26. Mia is an incredible dancer, but it wasn't the most memorable for me (sorry!)
  27. Oof, sorry, Ciara
  28. This is an INCREDIBLE lip sync
  29. Aw I love that Mia and Juicy are so close and admire each other so much
  30. Next time is the Rate-A-Queen Talent Show, part 2!

15 facts I learned from a random Wikipedia article

Original prompt: click on "Random Wikipedia Article" and write about whatever comes up (you can try 3 times and pick your favorite). For the record, I got Alejandro Estivill , Fencing at the 2011 Pan American Games – Women's épée , and Benjamin F. Jonas . I chose Benjamin F. Jonas because it was the longest of the three entries and it had a photo. He was born in Kentucky, moved to Illinois as a kid, and went to college and spent the rest of his life in Louisiana Jonas's father was a merchant and lawyer His father knew Lincoln (like they were real buds) Despite this, Jonas sided with the confederacy Not only did he side with the confederacy, but he joined the Confederate army and rose to the rank of major He went to University of Louisiana (now Tulane) Jonas was Jewish (I didn't know there were Jewish senators who served the Confederacy) He was the second Jewish U.S. Senator from Louisiana and the third Jewish Senator overall Jonas was the first Ashkenazi Jewish US...

Origin story or first issue of a superhero whose super power is geometry

Arya sat in history class and was bored. She longed to get to geometry, where things made more sense. She liked geometry so much that she had joined the math team to be able to do it more. Okay, there was also the extra time with her friends who loved math as much as she did, but some of the appeal was just the math itself. Finally the bell rang and Arya had four minutes to get to her geometry class. She passed right by the chemistry class next door where her least favorite teacher was conducting experiments. He needed to be more careful, thought Arya. The teacher had once exploded a glass beaker and not on purpose. Arya took her seat and excitedly pulled out her notebook. It was her favorite color: hot pink. She assigned her notebook and folder colors in ways that felt right to her. And since geometry was her favorite subject, she made her notebook and folder for it her favorite color. As the teacher started to go over the most common mistakes from the last quiz, Arya could've swo...

Color palette

Original prompt: "Google "color palette," pick one, and write something inspired by it." I actually Googled "color palette public domain" to be sure I could use it and found the image on this post. I used the "floral" section for my inspiraiton. The soft sunlight somehow didn't dim the shine of the fireflies. Such it was in the fae realm. Fern loved this time of day in the faewild where it wasn't quite day, but it was far from night. Fern frolicked alone in the glade as she was want to do. It didn't matter to her that her laughter carried itself alone on the breeze; she was content. She wasn't sure how long she'd been alone as she watched the suns begin to set, but it was pleasant in its own way. But then, she heard a noise. It wasn't the noise of leaves on the wind or twigs snapping from some comforting creature. It was the noise of someone approaching with grim determination. Fern wasn't sure how to ready herself to ...
