I cannot WAIT for an essay on Sky Full Of Elephants. I thought the concept sounded great so I’m a bit gutted to hear it wasn’t 10/10.

Same I wanted it to be good so badly. Re: god of the woods, I think it’s simultaneously solid and overhyped

Also respect the God of Woods rec - kinda avoided it because of the hype but perhaps I’ll reconsider

Thank you for the reminder to go back and finish The Diplomat! I'm still halfway through season 1.

Also, to answer your questions:

1) Both– on time for more casual things (seeing friends, dates, etc.), and early for professional meetings, etc.

2) While I like certainty, I've come to understand that most, if not all, things are subject to change and rather than hold on tight and get stuck when things don't go as planned, it's better to get comfortable with fluidity and be ready to pivot when the moment requires it (I'm not the best at this but here's to hoping '25 is the year I get the hang of it)

3) "Let me know when you get home"

Heavy on things being subject to change! As someone with a lot of earth placements change is rough.

i look forward to yr posts so much, thank u! i also watched the doc about fegan and it was so interesting. i think it is better to be early than on time! (but specifically to an event or something fun) to work it is better to be on time or late.

As a Jew I find myself watching the series sort of turning away from the screen the whole time. I want to be part of the conversation but it’s a level of cringe that is just — what is it, even?! I stay for the “brother” character I guess. He’s funny.

I got through three episodes maybe? the brother did seem like he was doing his job as the comic relief
