Stuff I saw on the internet last week: "they just named a baby that"
Happy Tuesday! For those who have it, I hope you had a good Labour Day long weekend, and for those you didn’t, I hope you had a good regular weekend. September, huh? Balls. But the internet is still happening, so let’s go.
Get a paid subscription! It’d be nice!
I’d appreciate if you’d consider getting a paid subscription! It’ll support the work I do and you’ll get bonus content that regular subscribers don’t get to read. Last week, paid subscribers got to read about a horror movie called Aftermath that stars Twilight’s Ashley Greene and X-Men’s Shawn Ashmore, so you know it’s good. It’s just $5 a month, or $50 a year, which is two months free! Click below to check it out.
Last week on my podcast I Hate It But I Love It, Jocelyn and I kicked off mediocre superhero month, beginning with 1987’s Masters of the Universe, a movie I knew was about He-Man and yet I was still completely unprepared for how ridiculous it was. And this Wednesday’s episode will be about The Rocketeer! You should subscribe, if you wanna be cool. (You can find I Hate It But I Love It in all the usual places, including Apple, Spotify, Stitcher, and Pocket Casts.)
TWEETS!
REDDIT!
My husband rushed into the kitchen asking why dinner wasn't ready yet I said I'd be done soon. He grabbed few glasses while pressuring me to hurry up. I made a comment about how I didn't even get to meet his guests and how unfair it was, he casually said "just do your job" and rushed out. I was shocked I stopped him and asked "what did you just said to me?" he looked at me quizically. I turned the oven off and stopped cooking. He was freaking out saying "no no, wait, what are you doing?" while I took my apron off. I said I don't work for him to tell me to "do my job" and he should take over cooking if he thought I was "slow". He begged me not to do this to him and explained he didn't mean to tell me to do my job but only spoke this way since he's used to say stuff like that at work and wasn't paying attention.
This is cruel and I hope she dumps you:
Last night I was out with a few buddies and got a little tipsy. While I was out we went on arcade machines for fun. I won a stupid plastic ring. In my tipsy state I was like "aha yknow what would be a great idea? If I pretended to propose to girlfriend with this" Cue buddies laughing and agreeing. I got home after midnight and woke my girlfriend up (shameful in itself I know) and told her to get out of bed quick in a urgent tone. She was worried and asking what's wrong what's wrong. I told her to sit on the edge of the bed. I then went down on one knee and presented her with the shitty ring and asked "will you marry me" and then burst out laughing. I didn't quite get the reception I expected.
Do not go behind people’s backs to give their abusers information about them:
I told James that I understand if he wants nothing to do with Ben and Cathy, but I would like our child to know his grandfather and aunt and cousins. James on the other hand doesn’t want Ben and Cathy to meet our child ever. He says he can support our child himself but I told him that it’s not about financial support but about our child knowing his side of the family.
I decided that I’d reach out to Ben and tell him I’m pregnant, and that I would like him to be part of our child’s life if he wants to.
Good thing you found out this out before the wedding:
Turned out a few days earlier Amy came to my work on my day off with invitations (I had no idea she even made them yet) and handed everyone an invite in front of Tally, then saying to Tally "you aren't invited, women like you aren't welcome" which has sparked everyone suggesting she is my "other woman". Since then she has been harassed by some guys at work and shunned by the women. She is now looking for another job.

TIKTOK!
Have you ever seen a cat as a potato?
Is it an apple or a chocolate?
When you’re just chillin’ and feelin’ the vibes.
This is tragic and I can’t stop laughing.
It’s fun to imagine things.
If you want your blood to boil, watch this.
The mustached men schedule a duel.
Anybody want a grape?
Some kids cuddle with teddy bears, but others…
