Hey everyone, welcome to S2, E6 of Severance. It’s been a long week so I don’t have something even mildly pithy to say. Huzzah for this wonderfully weird, compelling show. Reminder: spoiler policy (courtesy of @pachylad) as follows: Anything revealed … Continue reading Severance – S2:E6 – Atilla
In which your host restores the duplicate post from last week (hopefully), contemplates “lost” vs “wasted,” and also battles with WordPress Classic. One of my favourite yearbook platitudes is “Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.” Cliched though it … Continue reading Breaking the Habit: Lost and Found
Hey everyone, welcome S2, E5 of Severance, wherein Helena’s got some ‘splainin’ to do. Last week’s episode not only came with a great reveal and an award-worthy performance by John Turturro, but it set the table for some potentially explosive … Continue reading Severance – S2:E5 – Trojan’s Horse
In which your host greets the snowpocalypse. Despite the hours-long snowfall currently happening outside my apartment, spring *is* coming, and I’m trying to keep that in mind, especially when it comes to forming better habits. It’s very easy to go … Continue reading Breaking the Habit: Happy Galentine’s Day
Hey everyone, welcome back to season 2 of Severance, wherein high on a hill was a lonely Gwendoline Christie, and Devon continues to be the show’s MVP. Reminder: spoiler policy (courtesy of @pachylad) as follows: Anything revealed in the current … Continue reading Severance – S2:E4 – Woe’s Hollow
In which your host ponders the utility of this thread. Well, we made it through the worst month of the year. Well done, us. Congratulations to those who achieved Dry January and to those (like me) who did their best. Can’t … Continue reading Breaking the Habit: Where Do We Go From Here?
Hey everyone, welcome back to season 2 of Severance, wherein Adam Scott gets to paint with a few more colours than many of us are used to, and Tramell Tillman needs to be hired by every intelligent film director currently … Continue reading Severance – S2:E3 – Who Is Alive?
Final stretch! How are we all doing? Congrats to everyone who took this journey, bumps in the road and all. What has everyone taken away from it? Do you plan to keep going? Has your relationship to your habit changed … Continue reading Breaking the Habit: Dry January/New Year’s Resolutions Edition
Hey y’all. I started last week’s thread on a wing and a prayer, so I had no structure for the post. Aaaaand, I still don’t. As I said at the time, it’s been a couple of decades since I’ve written … Continue reading Severance – S2:E2 – Goodbye, Mrs. Selvig
Week 4! I’m guessing this was a hard one for a lot of people. I fell down again this past weekend and regretted it. But we’re in the home stretch now. How is everyone else doing? Continue reading Breaking the Habit: Dry January/New Year’s Resolutions Edition
I am being the Severance thread I want to see in the world. I don’t have anything to say this week except that I’m so glad this show is back. I haven’t actually asked the mods if this is okay … Continue reading Severance – S2:E1 – Hello, Ms. Cobel
Week 3… We’re halfway there, y’all. My therapist wants me to try to train myself to think of abstaining as an act of good I’m doing for myself rather than a deprivation. Would that it were so simple, as Laurence … Continue reading Breaking the Habit: Dry January/New Year’s Resolutions Edition
Week 2! How’s everyone doing? Have you managed to go alcohol free every day? Or keep your resolution(s)? I’ve only broken once, which is actually better than I did by week 2 last year, so I’m pleased with that. The … Continue reading Breaking the Habit: Dry January/New Year’s Resolutions Edition
Hi everyone. Happy New Year! For those who don’t know, Breaking the Habit began as a Dry January post that was pinned for the whole month in 2024. At least two ‘Cados have gone sober full-time since then. (I… am … Continue reading Breaking the Habit: Dry January/New Year’s Resolutions Edition
Hope everyone who celebrates had a great Christmas, and those who don’t are keeping warm and safe. (Or cool and safe, for those in the Southern Hemisphere.) One upside? Days are getting longer again. Back on Jan 1 with a … Continue reading Breaking the Habit
In which your host is almost on vacation. I can’t WAIT. My plan for next week is to have a thread scheduled for anyone who wants to post but I’m unlikely to be online on Boxing Day. On Jan 1 … Continue reading Breaking the Habit
In which your host is exhausted y’all. December is a lot. I was once again thwarted in trying to take a big step tonight, but that’s just because I wound up having to work late. I have found a potential … Continue reading Breaking the Habit
In which your host genuinely tried a thing tonight and it wasn’t her fault it didn’t happen. More in the comments. How is everyone doing? ‘Tis the season for temptation, but it seems like lots of people are making it … Continue reading Breaking the Habit
In which your host, as of this writing, is on Day 3 of not drinking. Not sure it’s going to last much longer, but I made it past Tuesday night (with booze in the house!) which has been a difficult … Continue reading Breaking the Habit
In which your host has a migraine. Talk amongst yourselves! Continue reading Breaking the Habit
In which your host is still pretty fucking furious but has decided to stick around for another week. On Remembrance Day I took time to think about both my grandfathers who served in WWII, though neither of them were in … Continue reading Breaking the Habit
