I really love the Slough House books but I have one criticism: having one major female character who copes (or has previously coped) with trauma by sleeping with a lot of strange men is… acceptable but frankly not a smart move for a male author. Having two, plus a third who copes by doing a lot of drugs, is just sexist.
Baby nephew who has been in the hospital since Friday has tested positive for norovirus and e. coli. He's having a rough time but it seems like he will be okay. I feel terrible for him obviously, but I also feel pretty bad for my sister-in-law, spending her first mother's day as a mom in the hospital worrying about her baby.
@00pi I’m hoping he’ll be okay. We don’t know right now and we live in another state so we’re just waiting for news.
@q00w2 it’s a silhouette cameo! Similar to cricut but cheaper and the software is actually good.
Today I discovered this app called Russian Readers, which has stories of various reading levels that are read out loud, SLOWLY, with Russian text and optional English text so you can read along. This is exactly what I have been looking for for ages! (I also like the YouTube series by Real Russian Club so far but it’s more like traditional language lessons.)
Btw the teddy bear I’m going to make for him is SUPER cute. I might have to make myself one too.
