Hello, call me Gallium, or Spoon, or Gallium Spoon! I am 27, I'm an occupational therapist, and I used to say this blog's theme was books and cats but there is no theme only my ever changing whims. (There is still quite a lot of posting about books and cats.) My header is a pic I took of Sue the world's most complete T Rex fossil, and my pfp is The Creature

I've completed my Side Quest of the Month to try halibut
The verdict? It was fine
I didn't dislike it, but it was kinda underwhelming
Oh well, now I know
#i got it at a restaurant since i never really cook fish so i was worried id screw it up if i tried to make it myself#i like everything else ive tried at this restaurant so i trust that it was my taste buds and not the restaurant quality

I'm gonna knit a second blanket for Creme Brulee so each cat has there own
I decided to do that cute thing where people let their pet 'pick' something by putting a few options in front of them, so I put a few different colors of yarn in front of Bru...

And this is the only picture I got before I had to take all the yarn away from her to stop her eating it
You can't even see what the other options were 😅

Concept: John loses all his phenomenal cosmic power and has to go back to being Just John. Gideon shoves him in a sack and puts him on a transport to a shepherd world, which saves his life but gives him a whole new world of problems. Now he has to survive on his wits and charm and most terrifyingly of all.... on the kindness of strangers.
I think I'd call it. The Emperor's New Groove.

I cannot stop thinking about the moment it pings the other two secunits
It's scared and it just wants someone to talk to it
And those two secunits have probably been ordered to ignore pings or other communication from the secunits about to be killed
im so not over the scene of Murderbot almost being put in the acid bath
in that moment, it wasn't Murderbot. its governing module was intact, it memories of PresAux were wiped, it didn't have any downloaded episodes of Sanctuary Moon
in that moment, it was just another SecUnit. And it was scared. it was pinging the other units, looking around for answers, visually unsure and fearful
#Murderbot#murderbot spoilers#murderbot tv spoilers#i really appreciate everything they added to that last episode#it made it a real nail biter even for book fans

I did it. After a lifetime of using light mode on all my devices, I switched to dark mode. My eyes just can’t take it anymore, and after a few days of using it, I decided dark mode was actually kind of cozy and nice. So it was time to update my light mode art with a new version!

this disability pride month I’d like to spread the gospel of the shower chair. I’m not disabled but my father is, and when I first started visiting him from out of town I’d move his chair in and out of the tub as I showered until one day I said fuck it and kept it in.
And oh my god.
If you’re a person who needs a 1000°F shower, get a chair. Get a chair and let yourself sit in the sauna. It’s amazing.
Long live the shower chair.

Book 17 is so interesting for how it dives into Rachel's acceptance of the need for each kid to have a designated role in the group
And how much she actually really doesn't like her role
She spends basically the whole book thinking about how afraid she is and how terrible the plan is (it's a really terrible plan) yet the rest of the group only hears her supporting the plan and volunteering to throw herself into as much danger as possible
Then when Cassie "fails" to fulfill her role as team moral compass, it just makes Rachel more afraid, reinforcing for her the need to fill her role and not risk scaring the rest of the team
