15 comfort shows and one sentence about why they comfort me

These are in no particular order.

  1. Scooby-Doo Mystery Incorporated: Friendship! Always finding the bad guy! Plus, Star Trek references!
  2. Gilmore Girls: A show shared with some dear friends.
  3. Friends: Also a show shared with some dear friends.
  4. Real Housewives: I guess, since I've seen it all, it's just comforting to escape my drama with familiar, removed drama.
  5. Survivor: I guess it's easy to get lost in and there is such a back catalog of it that I can just watch on end and not think about it.
  6. Say Yes to the Dress: It's simple and pretty.
  7. Sweet Magnolias: It's just so pleasant.
  8. Nailed It!: Nicole Byer is so charming, the cakes are so funny, and, mostly, it celebrates trying your best.
  9. Bridgerton: Escapist romance can carry me away.
  10. One Day at a Time: To be fair, I haven't watched this in a while, but I found the family so loving and comforting.
  11. The Try Guys: Technically, this is its own channel now, but I guess I like it all. The videos are goofy, heartfelt, and, sometimes, informative.
  12. The Bachelor: It's simple, formulaic, and has enough dashes of drama to keep me interested.
  13. 90 Day Fiancé: Now, I generally prefer to watch the new stuff, but I guess I find it comforting because it's a show I share with friends and because there is, in a good season, a balance between love to root for and relationships to laugh at.
  14. Leverage: I love this show so much. It has heart, humor, and hijinks. It has found family, heists, and action. I adore it, and I also share this adoration with dear friends.
  15. RuPaul's Drag Race: I've seen it all, but that doesn't stop it from being dazzlingly distracting.

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 ...
