I saw that, I also saw that the lady who made his mittens is flooded with requests, I also saw this cute crochet doll https://www.etsy.com/nl/listing/933832118/bernies-mittens-crochet-doll-pattern-pdf?ref=shop_home_active_1&crt=1 unfortunately, you can buy the pattern and not the actual doll, but I'm sure it will be a matter of time before you can buy the actual doll on etsy.

Introverts, how is your day?

I'm sorry Artemis, I know how hard it is to put down a dog. My mom and I had to put our dog down 2,5 years ago, know that it while it might be the hard thing to do, it is the right decision. -
I find those memes hilarious, here is a link with some of the memes https://amp.ebaumsworld.com/pictures/30-best-bernie-sitting-at-inauguration-memes-storming-the-internet/86556582/

Sweet Jesus, that some messed up dung with those people storming the capitol, it was like a coup! I mean, the cops just let those people in! The only good thing to come out of it is that Trump is permanently banned from Twitter, but I find that impeachment process a bit unnecessary. I mean Trump's term is almost over so...

Small question: does anyone uses the tapatalk app to view this site? I do and it doesn't allow me to view this site anymore. I tried to log out and log back in, deleting the app and reinstalling it, log out and delete the app but nothing works! Anyone knows what's wrong? I'm had to login on the website to ask this btw.

Is that your husband?

Shazam It was definitely more lighthearted than what you usually see with a DC movie, that being said Billy was the wrong person to receive power from the wizard, I give it a 7/10. Spiderman: into the spiderverse I'm kind of done with spiderman, I blame that on the fact that we had 3 different spiderman actors in barely 20 years. I get it, he was bitten by a radioactive spider, his uncle Ben died and because of that he started to fight crime. There was no need repeat that in this movie multiple times! Not even the fact that this movie deals with alternate universes made this movie enjoyable to watch because of said repetitive origin story, a 5/10 from me.

I found this, I laughed way to hard at it

I'm doing an internship currently, and of course I get the inevitable "do you have a boyfriend/ children?" bold of you to assume that I'm straight and want children. But in case of the latter question I just say no whereas in the former question I just say "yes, I have a partner" and everyone assumes it's a man, heteronormativity is so fun to mess with. -
God I hate everything, my country is going into lockdown again. And I don't know if I'm going back to work on Monday or not, because my work isn't listed as nonessential yet but but I'm 90% sure it will be considering I work in a second hand store, I'll know more this weekend. I also don't know whether my internship will be postponed or cancelled, i know more about it next week. On top of that my mom has corona, she has mild symptoms for now, I hope it stays that way. On the bright side I can spend the second lockdown with my girlfriend so there's that.

Shoot the Wall (A.K.A. The Rant Thread)
Fantasy Lover replied to Banshee's topic in Miscellaneous Musings
So last week I did an internship which required me to take a buss and the train, to do so I needed to get up at 6 am. It was exhausting, and the point of this internship was to see if I liked doing it as an official job, and I could be hired if I liked it. But what annoyed me the most is this: I declined the offer to work there and my mom, my grandfather and my boss were all like "I needed to get up early and take to train as well, you just need to get used to it." My grandfather even gave me the "when I was your age." treatment. It really pissed me off, I am NOT you! Maybe I could have gotten used to getting up at 6 am, but during my entire internship my gut kept me awake by screaming at me that it was a bad idea and I barely slept because of it! I was a VERY cranky at the end of my internship, thankfully it didn't last long. -

Can you tell me what you thought of the mid-season final? I need someone to scream about it. -
The secret garden 2020 The beginning is rather slow paced and the parents are idiots, that being said the make up team did a good job with making Colin Firth look like someone who didn't take care of himself, I give it a 6/10

Maybe it's because you work at funeral centre? I wouldn't be able to do it, especially now. -
So Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed away, although I'm European I could tell she was beloved by Americans. I know her health was deteriorating, but I know a lot of people hoped she would live until after the election. It seems their hope was in vain, and I'm worried about the consequences. Either the orange wanker will appoint a republican which will mean that balance between progressive and Conservative is gone and Roe v Wade will be challenged, or they will wait until after the election to appoint someone. I firmly hope Biden will win, granted he's not mine or anyone's first choice. And the choice of Kamala Harris is problematic to say the least, but anyone is better than Trump. The USA cannot survive another term with him, I'm afraid he will employ the army to suppress the peaceful protests going on ever since George Floyd died, and when that happens, there will be a civil war.

So I have a girlfriend now and last month we celebrated our 2 month anniversary, and when we were dating I had to tell people I met someone, including people who I hadn't came out to. I genuinely forgot the anxiety when coming out, some didn't believe me. But sometimes it was amusing, then I had a conversation that went like this: "I met someone." "That's nice, where does he live?" "What kind of job does he has?" Is he older or younger than you?" and then finally "What's his name?" So I answered each question without using a pronoun, but when I said a girl's name seeing the penny drop was just priceless.

I'm not a fan of The daily mail, but it's quite funny. I've heard they use it for peacocks as well!

Fantasy Lover replied to EvigMidnat's topic in Movies & Entertainment
Watched the last season of Orange is the new black during lockdown, I cried, not because it was the final season and I had to say goodbye to my favourite characters, or because my favourite character died but because in the last season it had an inmate in a ICE containment center, I've always found its existence horrifying but seeing an inmate ending up there made it more heartbreaking, and I just don't get it. The universal declaration of human rights states that you have the right to travel and to seek asylum, yet we let a bunch fascists dictate that if you didn't come to their country a certain way you won't be granted asylum. Because otherwise your country gets "invaded", those racists literally believe that when POC claim that they want to be treated equally it's a lie and they actually want revenge for how they were treated and start suppressing us [emoji19], it's just nonsense. -
Thanks for the hugs[mention=2761]Artemis[/mention]. Anyhow, no movie review today but a review of 2 Dutch documentaries. Dare to ask 8/10 If you ever wanted to ask something to someone that was inappropriate, this is for you. They asked people with dwarfism, addicts, people who are into BDSM, Muslims, wheelchair users, polygamists, priests and people with eating disorders. It had questions that I expected, but some questions that I expected would be asked weren't in it. Season 2 which will air soon will involve early dementia, nuns, people with HIV, Jews, obese people, and nobles. I'm curious already. Procreation 8/10 It involved more than why people procreate or not, it covered how in 60 years time our society changed: it went from being encouraged to have like 10 children to being criticised if you have as much as 3 children, how some people see pregnancy and children through rose-colored glasses and get PPD when they find out it's not filled with cupcakes and rainbows, whether or not it's selfish not to have children (it isn't), whether or not it's inconsiderate towards people who are infertile (also no), how the concept of a biological clock came to be and the infuriating dubbel standard that when you ask someone who has children why they wanted them, the vague answer "Because I wanted to." is acceptable whereas if you ask someone who doesn't want children the answer "Because I don't want one." isn't acceptable and you still get the bs "But who will take care of you when you are old?" and one person they interviewed pointed out the naked truth that few people actually take care of their relatives at old age, they put them in a nursing home and visit them a few times a year. There are 2 things that annoyed me about it: they interviewed teenagers who were like 11 or 12 if they wanted kids or not, and at that age you have romanticised view of the future. I'd prefer it if they interviewed people in their early 20's because they are more realistic. and at one point they interviewed someone who conducted a research about the happiness of children who grew up with same sex parents and concluded that they had the same happiness as children who grew up in a "traditional family", which kind of unintentionally implies that children of single parents, divorced parents and parents who remarried are less happy, which is bs of course. I only wish this documentary was aired last year because last year a handful of women I know got pregnant and I felt guilty about my decision to remain childless, I felt like there was something wrong with me, I was pissed about the fact that my biological clock was frozen solid in a 10 inch cube and showing absolutely no signs of thawing, and felt that I disappointed my mother by not giving her grandchildren. But some time after that we had a conversation about about it and she said it was okay that she wouldn't get grandchildren, you can imagine a huge weight fell off my shoulders.

God no, I'm not in the mood for the holidays. I want this year to end, and it's the second year in a row I feel this way. Anyhow, last month I went on a holiday with my mom. My mom is usually very meticulous when she plans stuff, so she knows where to get on and off and when the bus arrives. But on that trip she decided to channel her inner boomer by asking random people on the street for directions, or the busdriver to notify us when we would arrive at our stop or rely on her memory because she went there 3 years ago so no directions were needed. So of course we got off the wrong stop, missed our stop, walked in the wrong direction and took the wrong bus, I was pissed of course.
