Oh thank god.

Amazing thread on if Heated Rivalry was football instead of hockey and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell needed to atone to look good on gay tv. Attn: @claredactyl.bsky.social

Spent my day drinking and playing video games which is exactly how my dad would have wanted to spend Memorial Day.

The plan for my 2026 garden is very lowkey. We’re in a drought and I have a tendency to overplant and get white mold from it. Just peas, tomato, tomatillo, cucumber, pumpkin, zucchini with some dill and marigold seeds. Of course this is before I get to the garden center.

Pre-summer fertilizing of the roses. My bonus grandma had her rose garden put in by her late husband while she was going through cancer treatment. It’s a highlight of the neighborhood and for the first past couple of years I always go over to help prep them for the season.

Five days off!! Plans include: + doing all the laundry + finishing Metaphor ReFantazio + shopping for plants + visiting bonus grandma + happy hour + reading all the things + movie? + gently reminding myself I do not have to think about work at all and it will make be better at my job to be rested

Going to the library and picking up a random book. I tried a bunch of books I got from social media recs but when I looked at them in person found they weren’t my speed.

Talking to one of my French colleagues and was so excited to share I’m taking 5 days off over Memorial Day. She was exasperated saying 2 weeks should be the minimum. Chéri you are right.

Do I know people in Montreal? Proposing that for my work trip to visit museums, arcades, and art hive.

If I were to write hockey RPF (which you can't prove I ever did), it would be Sid hearing about the TV show, enduring repeated HAHAHAHA text messages and at least one call from Ovi, reading the book in self-defense, and turning up at Geno's door in the rain to gasp out "it was never Ovechkin"

Every time I see this go by I imagine a different reaction. (The current one is Geno grinding his molars into dust.)

If you ever want to pick up lesbians, I recommend biking with your cat to the vet. Like fucking catnip. Mona got treats for her wingwoman abilities.

"who have not yet dated"

Someone remind me to take out my contacts. I just got them for the first time in 10 or so years and I’m going to completely forget I’m wearing them again.

Okay @jrho.bsky.social and @longwayback.bsky.social we all saw the Vanity Fair piece Lane Kiffin did. Are we all also agog at this development?

Woke Lane Kiffin is unfortunately one of the funniest things I've ever thought about

Just showed a bunch of librarians around our maker spaces and not to make the easy joke but everyone was very quiet. Also interesting how we each battle form vs function but on opposite sides. The museum obviously favors form while sacrificing function but with them it’s opposite.

At the end game for Metaphor ReFantazio and it’s made me think about where I rank it with the other Atlus games. Definitely the hardest in terms of resource management. How is my ass still so poor in this game? I’ve also had to reload saves and replay sections multiple times.

For Mother’s Day I am treating myself for raising my sister, my mother, myself and of course my sweet panther child Mona. Iced coffee, pastries, Metaphor Rentazio, and an everything shower.

Took today off for self care. Reading fic and binging Criminal Minds.

If one more person asks me a question I may cry. Or scream at them.

Chicago friends: I'll be speaking at the @artinstitutechi on May 15th at 2pm local, alongside photographer Kevin Sabitus and museum director Emily Fry. Super excited - it's free, but you need a ticket, so reserve now! www.artic.edu/events/6431/...

I’m on day 11 of work and have one more tomorrow. Continually telling myself I can not expect the same work ethic for others as I do myself. But then realizing that means things will fail and I can’t just let things fail?!?! #nonprofits

What are your favorite crossover fics? It’s one of my favorites but it’s so hard to actually find the fic since it’s often lumped in with multifandom ficlets.

What year is this Tumblr?

The autistic curse of seeing that someone’s complaining is a result of their procedures failing and knowing that’s not what they want to hear.

Not a thought in that cat’s head.

Before I spend time doing it, has anyone already made journaling templates using #Persona as a template? Or #StardewValley of any other game like that?

Will I ever be able to hear “Renegade” and not think of Supernatural? All signs point to no.

まこちゃんお誕生日おめでとう！

Playing Four Last Things did give me an excuse to introduce my kids to Hieronymus Bosch, whose work they immediately recognized as the inspiration for Metaphor: ReFantazio. I keep telling them - being knowledgeable about art and music makes you enjoy things more as you recognize the influences!

Since Shawn Hatosy is doing an audio, I’ve got to introduce @erynadele.bsky.social to the Quinn app. Every day we learn new things against our will.

Me listening to the Heated Rivalry soundtrack while walking to the Pens bar for Penguins vs Flyers.

Trying to find my next book but both of the ones I looked at in the library were first person with the worst writing. Do we not teach “show, don’t tell” anymore?

Has anyone dyed leather before? I have two pair of Italian leather shoes I got at the museum clothing swap. They’re pretty beat up but I’ve conditioned the black pair and they look good. There’s also a white one that I’m thinking of dying yellow to give it a spark of life.

Tell me how I bought two Levi 501 jeans in the exact same waist and length. The light wash is too baggy and the black wash won’t even fit over my thighs.

Pocket friends: what has been bringing you joy recently? My joy has come from video game characters named Leon: Leon Kennedy from Resident Evil and Leon Strohl in Metaphor: ReFantazio. If I had a nickel-

Microsoft tried to change my wording from “I’d appreciate guidance from leadership” to “I’d appreciate guidance.” No, no. I want to document who the needs to get their shit together.

Sometimes you just got to stay up till 2am reading fic. For the enrichment.

One day, "It" will happen, by which I mean sudden and unexpected news that you want to celebrate. In such cases, you will want the right outfit. 🧵

My girls and gays what is the texture spray that Hudson Williams uses?
