Fifteen Minutes of Scrawl

Spoilers for the first three episodes, but don't tell me more! I think I've finally learned everyone's names My friends I'm watching with have ominously told me that some of the women whose names I struggle to remember will become quite memorable Why is Joanna the host? Could we not find someone queer? Also, she doesn't even do anything I think Marita just wants to be single  I feel so bad for Magan and Pilar whose families do not accept them How does coming out over email feel more dated than coming out over letter? Like every reality show, ho boy could some of them use therapy I maintain that having trial marriages with other people is a wild way to figure out if you want to marry someone else I said something mean about Bridget's hair that I probably shouldn't repeat I hope Magan does take the MCAT This is a very attractive cast Kyle reminds me of someone and I can't put my finger on it A meme has also let me know there will be a fight about brussel s...

My cousin Alice was someone very special to me. Here are 15 things that make me think of her (in no particular order). Frogs (my brother and I used to catch them in the creek by her house before releasing them again) Violin (her chosen instrument) Ring bearers (I was a ringbearer in her first wedding/commitment ceremony) Purple (her favorite color) Growing my hair out (when I was a kid, her hair was down to her lower back) Wiggling my nose like a rabbit (she taught me) Rottweilers (she had a beloved one named Taz when I was a kid) Telling jokes (she'd always ask me as a kid to tell her a joke) Dollhouses (I remember playing with her as a kid) Organizing (she used to do it professionally) Arts and crafts (I always have admired her creativity) WGBH (she used to work there) Pesto (I remember her making it from basil she grew) Gardening and the outdoors (her homes always had beautiful outdoor space) Love (she and her wife were one of my earliest examples of a loving marriage) (Prompt b...

Time for the second part of the tell all. Ah so we pick up in this hot mess So Any and Amani have a sex date I missed what this friend brought to the conversation Shekinah is taking this too seriously Matt is so mature (sarcasm detected) So Sarper got Shekinah a ring...finally Lol Sarper does a LOTR joke Juan was building stuff in Colombia? Daniele and Yohan are back together?! Did Megin really say, "Bitch, bye!"? Megin looks heartbroken that Jessica said she doesn't need Megin to protect her Um, Daniele, I don't think I'd be fine with someone cheating on me all the time even if they keep telling me they've been cheating WHY IS DANIELE HERE? Ah because Daniele and Shekinah have beef Now I could believe that Shekinah paid for bots to boost her own profile, but to pay to go after Daniele...I just doubt that Okay, Daniele, Mahdi may have pointed at you, but you got in his face (not vice versa) Ha I love that both Mina and Mark worked in a strip club Mina used her...

A (hopefully) handy list. These are in no particular order.  Take some deep breaths Unclench your jaw Scratch your head Close your eyes for a moment Mute your phone Do a grounding exercise Roll your shoulders Put on a long YouTube video of rain sounds or other sounds you find relaxing Remind yourself it's okay to take a break (say this out loud if you need to) Vent by writing (and then deleting or ripping up) what is stressing you Massage your temples Stand up and stretch Wash your face with warm water Drinks some water Ask friends for memes or whatever images make you smile (Prompt by Emily Kleeman) Photo by Max van den Oetelaar on Unsplash

Time for a fake reality dating show challenge! Daya, the judges are straying away from actual critiques... Lol now Cynthia is in second despite not having won a challenge I do love this maxi challenge I feel like some of these casting choices are...shall we say...problematic? Okay Daya did great Alyssa had a good gag Denali did so well and looks so cute Ginger is so funny Acid Betty made a good choice with the voice change Cynthia made the biggest choice and, so far, it's working for me Cynthia won her date Ginger definitely won her date Denali and Daya had the best chemistry What an unhinged challenge, but how fun Daya is having a bit of a moment I love the fabric of Ru's look, but the shape isn't my favorite I feel like I've heard of Mayan Lopez but I can't quite place her Alyssa's look is very cool, but I'm a symmetrical girlie I love Ginger's look Denali's look made my jaw drop Daya's look is cool but something about it sets me on edge Michel...
