You think I’m being too pragmatic. No, no, no, no, no. Well… kind of. It’s okay. It’s one of my favorite things about you. Really? Yeah.Well, what are your other favorite things?
One unexpected thing that my job (flight attendant) has given me a lot of opinions on are hotel shower/tub configurations.
A lot of hotel showers are tubs with some variation of these drains:
They plug when you push them in. Seems convenient, right? Wrong. These drains suck. They almost never stay up by themselves, forcing me to MacGyver some sort of lever out of washcloths and bars of soap, so I’m not standing in 5 inches of water by the end of my shower. Every time I see a drain like these ones I just know my shower experience is going to suffer.
Now some tubs instead have a variation on these drains:
And these drains are fine. Any drain without a built-in push plug is fine by me. These drains make for a middle of the road shower experience. They’re the lays potato chips of drains. Fine, but nothing special.
Now lets talk about shower curtains.
Almost every hotel shower curtain I see these days have little magnets in the bottom corners, which is a really good concept but almost never good in execution because 2 magnets don’t really do much except force you to wrestle the curtain into place. If they had 6 magnets like the curtain above, maybe they’d work better but as it is, you still end up with a wet floor, and you’ll wonder what the point of it all was.
When it comes to tubs, what you want is the rare tub doors:
They’re usually glass, but I’ll take plastic. These + a non-push plug give you the best tub shower experience, imo. Plus they make me feel like I’m in the obligatory steamy shower scene of a horror movie.
But if you’re like me (a shower person), and tubs don’t really do it for you, what you want is the standing shower. The drains are always the coveted linear one-piece drains:
Which mean no accidental plug mishaps, and a quick draining experience. These drains are the optimal form. And they always have doors. Usually they’re pretty roomy, and if you’re lucky there might be extra jets, so you can feel like a car in a car wash.
⬆️ This is a prime example of a what a hotel shower should aspire to. 10 out of 10.
Which means that you can adjust the water temperature as needed without burning your hand. Once again, this is a prime example of what a hotel shower should aspire to. I’m accepting no arguments.

oh to be a small mouse in a pastoral children’s novel who lives in a hollowed out tree stump and does nothing but collect dewdrops and sweep their doorstep with a feather
would you like to be old friends? maybe meet again in a decade or so? stumble into the same corner of the world by happy, human accident? look at me like you know me? like all the love we had was just on stand by, waiting to be fallen back into, waiting for permission to wake up, like the dormant volcano we are? pick each other back up again like a well loved, well forgotten book? would you like to be old friends? would you like to remember me a little?
“The double agent for the patriarchy is basically just a woman who perhaps unknowingly is still putting the patriarchal narrative out into the world. Is still benefitting off, profiting off and selling a patriarchal narrative to other women. But it’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing. You know, just because you look like a woman, we trust you and we think you’re on our side, but you are selling us something that really doesn’t make us feel good. You’re selling us an ideal, a body shape, a problem with our wrinkles, a problem with ageing, a problem with gravity, a problem with any kind of body fat. You’re selling us self-consciousness. The same poison that made you clearly develop some sort of body dysmorphia or facial dysmorphia, you are now pouring back into the world. You’re like recycling hatred. I find that really dangerous and I think it’s unacceptable and I don’t care if you’re a woman. I think constructive criticism is needed for anyone to ever evolve. For our gender to evolve we need some sort of constructive criticism. As long as we do it in a somewhat careful way. (…) So many of the worst things in the world have happened motivated by greed. And I just don’t think that’s an acceptable excuse anymore. How much money do you need? Really how much money do you need? How much money do any of these huge influencers who are worth millions or billions sometimes… why are they still promoting appetite-suppressant lollipops to young girls? And it’s not a fight against obesity. They have young, already slim girls, in their adverts for Flat Tummy company, this company that are absolutely everywhere, and they’re even being advertised in some of the most mainstream magazines, women’s magazines, and they have a billboard in Times Square. The money is built on the blood and tears of young women who believe in them, who follow them, who look up to them like the big sister they never had. It’s so upsetting and it feels like such a betrayal against women.”
Flash Appreciation Post and Another Post Roasting Bruce.
“I’m sorry I haven’t had more time, Damian.The city is in danger. That requires my full focus.”
The Flash, with similar amounts of responsibility as Batman:
“Run with me.”
“Did you just walk me to school?”
“I had to make sure that you got there.”
“Stay close to me!”
“Wally look at me. There is nothing wrong with you.”
“But…Wally…can take care of himself. And I don’t owe him the kind of apologizes I owe you. I shouldn’t have–”
“Wait–I’ve been trying to get a hold of you for days. I promise I’ve changed. I know how I acted before was wrong. But there’s something I need to show you.”
“No..no, not at all. Iris and I will talk when we’re both ready…But…run with me and I’d love to show you how I am trying, okay?”
“I trust you to do it on your own. But this time you can also do it with our help and support. I let us run alone for too long. It’s time we ran together again…”
“SHOOT! I’ve been running so long I forgot I told Iris, Wallace and Avery that I’d make it back to Iris’s house tonight! And Wallace and Avery were going to make dinner!”
“I’m sorry I’m…late…”
I’m tired of Bruce making excuses for his neglect especially when he blames it on not having enough time.
Barry has as much responsibilities as Bruce and yet almost ALWAYS makes time for his family. Some may point out that Barry is superhuman and therefore should not be compared to Bruce. Bruce may not have superpowers but he has something Barry doesn’t: money (or well he used to). But just Barry’s abilities give him the speed to spare some time for his family Bruce’s money and fast vehicles grant him enough time to look over his son.
When Barry apologizes he doesn’t make excuses like Bruce does. He admits his fault and promises to do better. And he actually makes the effort to SHOW them he’s trying. And you know, that’s all I need from a busy hero, to show me they are trying to be better.
Bruce has made no effort whatsoever to contact his son or run after him when tragedy strikes. Barry has done both and even more. Barry confesses to trying to contact Wallace multiple times and when Wallace found out his father died…Barry immediately dropped everything and ran after him. He even sat down with him and talked to him for a long time in attempt to comfort him.
There is a reason why I get so frustrated with Bruce’s treatment of his family especially of Damian and have come to the point were the only thing I feel for Bruce is pure hatred. There’s a reason why I get so frustrated when people defend his actions and inaction’s…like just admit Bruce is written badly but don’t defend him for being a horrible father.
Barry tries to be better while Bruce says he will try and never does.
If Barry can make time for his family despite his responsibilities, I expect Bruce to do the same.
Life tip (for bi women): the next time a guy is all like “so you’re bi huh? does that mean you want to have a threesome” say “yes!” and then explain how you’ve always loved the idea of sleeping with two men at once
what do I do if he’s into it

Update since I actually tried this a few months ago: He was all “you know, we’re both really attractive, i bet we could easily find a third to join us”. I said, “yeah definitely, do you have a brother by any chance?”
