author's note: this post was a huge labor of love and came together absolutely amazingly due to the work of four amazing peeps who kindly agreed to collab with me on it! thank you to @orangeresearcher, @someone-elsa, and @nexility-sims for making Tiffany Rogers, Gunilla Roos, and Celeste Alford-Huff, the inimitable hosts of Women of A Certain Age, Armorica's #1 daytime talk show! The studio audience decos were made by the wonderful @xldkx!

TIFFANY ROGERS | ...the Layes are the clear winner in my opinion. GUNILLA ROOS | [scoffs] GUNILLA ROOS | I don't see how you can call Jacques a winner when he couldn't even show up on time! Everyone else was there— CELESTE ALFORD-HUFF | Haven't you ever been to one of these international receptions? Darling, being late is winning! STUDIO AUDIENCE | [applause and laughter] CELESTE ALFORD-HUFF | Can we get that picture of Jacques and Vivi back up? STUDIO AUDIENCE | Awwww! CELESTE ALFORD-HUFF | They. Are. Precious. My granddaughter says— TIFFANY ROGERS | Okay, the Layes won, I think we can all agree— GUNILLA ROOS | [scoffs] TIFFANY ROGERS | —but I think we can also agree who lost. GUNILLA ROOS | [offscreen] Prince Frederick— CELESTE ALFORD-HUFF | [offscreen] Ugh! TIFFANY ROGERS | [offscreen] I want to root for him, I really do! GUNILLA ROOS | Entitled, lazy, incompetent...Freddy is everything that's wrong with the monarchy. Is that really who we want representing us abroad? TIFFANY ROGERS | I don't usually agree with Gunilla— STUDIO AUDIENCE | [offscreen, laughter and applause] CELESTE ALFORD-HUFF | Freddy is the kind of man that if my granddaughter brought him home, I'd tell her to ask for a long engagement! TIFFANY ROGERS | [offscreen] Right! And we're meant to believe he's some kind of Prince Charming? I feel sorry for the girl he marries. CELESTE ALFORD-HUFF | [offscreen] Imagine him as a father. GUNILLA ROOS | [scoffs] I'd rather not. Any child of Freddy's is going to be more of the same, just another spoiled-rotten leech living off taxpayer money. STUDIO AUDIENE | [disapproving noises] GUNILLA ROOS | I'd support the monarchy if they provided anything of value to society. But as long as we have a family of stuttering, braindead— [TV shuts off]

Day 11 - O Mexiofrio - October 8

I slept well at the Albergue Camino Real. Which isn’t to say I didn’t still get up at 6 am. I think most of the pilgrims were out the door before I was. This morning I left alone, yet still was part of a group of peregrinos. Most of them passed me, it’s true. But a set of 5 or 6 people stayed at my hiking speed, though we passed each other numerous times.  I walked past a small barn that…

The Long Game

If you workout, you’ve maybe had a favorite trainer at some point. I have been doing at home workouts on the same platform for over 3 years and over the years, I’ve used lots of online trainers. There are a couple that I really like and one who I would consider to be life changing. Last month, he announced that he was personally going to be doing all of his workouts in a specific order (211 to…

straight up not respecting some of the alleged p2 characters' ages as they were given on the VA's papers bc you're telling me this is a 27yo man on the left & a 35(!)yo woman on the right? you jest. this woman is in her 20s at most. she doesn't have a wrinkle of age on her face. just worry. i know men age like milk this is taking the piss. i know patho 2 is the "hot blemishless 20something white(-passing) women" game but at this point own it. don't try lying to me. she doesn't look a day past 29. got friends below 25 with more winkles. in the first half of the 20th century too. where would she be getting her anti-aging serums.

you're telling me this woman who's a chronic worrier, dealing with chronic pain, who smokes like a locomotive to cope is allegedly 5 years Older than this guy who's been drinking himself to sleep for like 5 years.

(mike's mic voice) don't piss me off

If I'm ever being pestered by a particularly persistent gentleman and I want to kill our relationship amicably, I just start talking about livestock.

"How's it going?"

"Not that well, the heifer has flystrike. :("

" 'sup?"

"Not much. Just dewormed a sheep."

"Did you do anything fun today?"

"Yes! I finally found the nest one of the hens has been hiding from us. SIX EGGS!"

Works like a charm.

Day 9 - Baxoia - October 6 - A Bizarre End to the Day 

My feet were sore when I got back to my lovely hotel. I guess the early, early morning had taken its toll. I went to my room (oh, blessed room!), covered up the windows with the shutters, covered my body in a thick blanket and slept for 2 – 3 hours! I didn’t think I needed that, but I did.  Here is the second weird event. When I was ready to rise, I realized that I would be short 1 stamp for…

normalise saying "I don't have enough information on this topic to have an opinion on it"

and then staying out of it completely rather than going along with wtv opinion u imprinted from three random posts/reels/tweets and having weird misinformed debates with full confidence

They got traits from each to confuse the masses. There's electro women, electro men AND whatever the heck Tomoya is ( nonbinary aka. neither, they just vibe and hope for the best ).

what if i said it feels like "late diagnosed autism" is often used in a way that feels like aspie supremacy

because what do you MEAN "POV your late diagnosed friend is stimming" "the high school trauma that comes w/ late diagnosis" as if those aren't near-universal autistic experiences??

is it internalized ableism, a way to distance themselves from the Autistic stereotypes? or do people just genuinely think that early diagnosis <2015 gave people access to genuine & sympathetic assistance 😭
