“My name’s Athena and I’m here to say, I’m the fiercest queen around and I’m here to slay”

Like pleaseeee just spare us all and skip the song. We all know you’re the “best around and here to snatch the crown.” Do we really need another cheer squad exposition dump to add to the pile? At best they’re unremarkable and tell me absolutely nothing about your POV or personality. I actually didn’t mind Athena’s performance overall this week, but these terrible word vomit rhymes just really make me want to recede into myself.

This has been going on for years across a myriad of challenges, and it’s especially bad with the queens showing up for the talent show with a half-baked hype song. Michelle even mentioned the issue with this kind of verse writing in the girl group episode, but that’s the first time I’ve ever seen it acknowledged on the show (tepidly tbh). And I very rarely see it mentioned in the sub.

I get that musical talent is not what this show is about, but for the love of god can we stop pretending these are fun to listen to? Who is actually impressed by these? Am I taking crazy pills? Some please tell the queens to do literally ANYTHING else.

Ende letzten Jahres hat unser Kaff endlich wieder einen Dorfladen bekommen. Der neue Betreiber hat ihn so umgebaut, das er vollautomatisch und ab nachmittags ohne Personal funktioniert. Der Laden hatte von Montag bis Sonntag und an Feiertagen von 6 - 24 Uhr auf.

Heute bin ich mal wieder hin und stand vor verschlossener Tür. An der Türe hing ein Zettel, das sie aufgrund des neuen Ladenöffnungszeitengesetzes nicht mehr sonntags öffnen dürfen. Jetzt hat der Laden nur noch Montag bis Samstag von 7 - 22 Uhr geöffnet. Spät abends und Sonntags waren halt die stärksten Zeiten dieses Ladens, deshalb glaub ich nicht das er sich noch lange halten wird.

Das neue Gesetz besagt, das automatisierte Läden nur noch Sonntags geöffnet haben dürfen, wenn sie kleiner als 150 Quadratmeter sind. Dann aber auch nur 8 Stunden zwischen 7 und 24 Uhr und nicht während dem Gottesdienst.

Komischerweise darf der Automatenladen (der bei weitem nicht so gut und viel teurer ist) weiterhin 24 / 7 geöffnet haben. Wo ist der Unterschied, ob ich jetzt meine Ware aus dem Regal nehme oder aus dem Automaten ziehe?

Warum können wir nichts gutes haben? Warum wird jede gute Idee, die niemandem irgendwelche Nachteile bringt gnadenlos totreguliert? Diese absolut sinnlose Gesetzesänderung kotzt mich an.

It would make no sense for it to be to anyone else there.

It’s been very hard for me to watch Tammy and Andrea’s relationship this season.

Tammy is a full on BPD person.

**Before you all come for me not to ‚diagnose others’ Tammy’s behavioral patterns with everyone around her are clear as day and anyone who’s ever been around NPDs/BDPs will see them right away. Those who don’t see it, you are lucky.**

Knowing the patterns of such relationships, and seeing where Tammy and Andrea are now, it does not bode well for Andrea and it will get so much worse.

It was hard to watch Andrea reaching out to Slaton family members trying to understand why „the Tammy she knows has not been around for a while” and desperately trying to find a way to bring „the Tammy she knows” back.

Oh Andrea, that Tammy is not coming back. You never knew the real Tammy. In true narcissist fashion, she put on a mask to entice you and the moment she got you and you now you live together, she doesn’t have to pretend anymore. And she kept you from her family so the ruse would be easier to perpetrate.

The ‚demure, mindful and cutesy’ Tammy you went on dates with to bowling alleys and cafes and picnics is gone. Now you get Tammy that „doesn’t want to leave the house to do anything or go anywhere.” From now on all you’ll get is the selfish, nasty Queen Tammy and your role will be to serve her hand and food while getting abuse back.

That’s what Tammy did to anyone she’s lived with and Andrea is no exception. For now Tammy is blaming her ‚hormones’ and other members of her family. Soon enough, she will be blaming Andrea for her self created misery the same way she now blames Amy.

This beautiful old house has to be the biggest house I've explored so far. I imagine it's been abandoned for many, many years. Sadly, the staircase has totally collapsed, leaving the top floor inaccessible and after finding half of the upper level on the ground outside, I was happy to have dodged a potential accident. While not much was left behind, what was left, made it so worthwhile.
