My liege how does it feel to have the power to simply suggest constructiprowl and immediately have peasants clambering at your feet to offer their scrolls
i truly feel like a King in this bitch!!!

Silver Tongues - Louis Tomlinson : Reaction!
by music producer Barrett Jones
“Louis is turning into one of my favorite new artists, I really like this song!”
this reaction video deserves some more love, it’s really great!
Jones has been in the business for 35 years as a producer, engineer, mixer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist and worked with bands such as Nirvana, Foo Fighters and Pearl Jam.
( also he has had requests to do a video on the whole album and says here he’ll probably do it. his reaction to Out Of My System can be found here )

A little over a month ago, we found out that the family with whom we currently share a sitter is moving away sometime this summer. Shortly afterwards, I saw someone with a baby close in age to mine looking to share a sitter starting in September. I reached out to her to see if it would work, and it seemed like everything aligned. My impression was that we just needed to figure out whether we were going to keep using our current sitter (who I’m still kinda iffy about even though she’s very nice) or try to find someone else. So I told the other mother that I would talk to the sitter to see if she even wanted to continue, and then from there she could meet her and decide if she felt comfortable.
The family we currently share the sitter with had not yet told her that they were moving, but told me that I could do so. Which felt super awkward. So I kind of dragged my feet on having the conversation, and then things got really busy with Pesach prep, and then she wasn’t working for 2 weeks. Which, I admit I should’ve been more on top of things, but it didn’t seem like that much of a rush because we have months to sort this out. The other mother never reached out to check in but again, my impression was we’d agreed to share, and it was just figuring out who the sitter would be.
So it was very surprising to me when she posted someone’s contact in a whatsapp group we’re both in (not sure if she realized I’m in it, as it’s large and I’m pretty new to it) and asked if anyone knew her because “we’re thinking of doing a playgroup together and I want to know a little more about her.”
I replied to her privately and was basically like look, I’m sorry I didn’t have a chance to talk to my sitter yet, this is why, I know it’s been a while, so I do get it if you want to go with a different arrangement, but please just let me know what you’re thinking so I know whether I should still have the conversation with her at this point.
And she appears to just be ghosting me, because it’s been 2 days and nothing. 🙃
I just don’t get it. Like, I get wondering why I hadn’t gotten back to her yet about the conversation with the sitter after a while, but so then you just...ask for an update? You don’t just move on without telling me while meanwhile I’m thinking my fall plans for my child are set. And then, when I’m telling you it’s fine if you want to go a different route, why not just say that yes that’s what you’re doing?? Why leave me hanging like this?
Anyway, as if that weren’t enough, the babysitter told me today that the family we currently share with hasn’t actually told her, but she’s overheard some things and it’s clear that they’re moving this summer. And she asked me point-blank on the spot if we’re still going to need her. Which I get, because if not she probably wants as much of a head start as possible to find a new job, and that’s fair. But now I’m in this awkward position of...if Ghosting Lady is indeed out, I genuinely don’t know what we’re going to do! It’s possible we could locate another family to share with, it’s possible we might find some totally different childcare situation. I don’t know. And it’s just such bad timing that NOW is when she asks me. 🤦🏻♀️

neocities guide - why you should build your own html website
do you miss the charm of the 90s/00s web where sites had actual personality instead of the same minimalistic theme? are you feeling drained by social media and the constant corporate monopoly of your data and time? do you want to be excited about the internet again?
try neocities!!
what is neocities?
neocities is a free hosting website that lets you build your own html website from scratch, with total creative control. in their own words:
"we are tired of living in an online world where people are isolated from each other on boring, generic social networks that don't let us truly express ourselves. it's time we took back our personalities from these sterilized, lifeless, monetized, data mined, monitored addiction machines and let our creativity flourish again."
why should I make my own website?
web3 has been overtaken by capitalism & conformity. websites that once were meant to be fun online social spaces now exist solely to steal your data and sell you things. it sucks!!
building a personal site is a great way to express yourself and take control of your online experience.
