I started knitting a Sophie scarf, which I gather is a somewhat divisive pattern/designer for some reason I don’t understand. One specific complaint I saw is it’s “too simple” but counterpoint, I don’t want to reverse engineer it when I could just pay 5-ish bucks for someone else to write it out

You know, I'd never considered that I could bird shitpost my way into learning audio production and composition This knowledge may have ramifications, Later

Someone a decade+ younger than I asked me if I saw the Matrix in theaters and how cool that must have been

2026 basically

The mascot for Air Do (an airline based in Hokkaido, Japan) is Bear Do, a friendly polar bear.

I’ve been trying to write a review? essay? thing? about consume me for weeks and just now while reading an (unrelated) library ebook loan as fast as I can before it expires I read a passage that made me stop, transcribe it into a word doc, and then start writing the review-essay-thing all over again

Why does my psychiatrist office call me on the telephone to tell me I have a balance instead of emailing me like they used to? Is it because I routinely ignored the emails and then just told them to run the card at my next appointment?

I brought my trash cans in before the neighbor* so I win *we both left them out 24 hours after trash collection and I got mine off the street approximately 5 minutes before they did

that’s it, i’ve finally taken my best photo of all time 😅 (this chubster is an unapologetic beggar so don’t feel bad for him) 🧪🌍 #bird #birb

I have read 33% of Anna Karenina via library ebook, the loan expires in three days, think I can finish it before then?

He loves you, say it back

Style Savvy Trendsetters remake / make it 2011 again via science or magic

Me sowing [editing stream vods for YouTube]: haha this rules Me reaping [when it’s time to make thumbnails so I can upload them]: what the fuck. This sucks.

The nice old lady who lived down the street from me growing up, who gave us neighbor kids rolls of pennies with our halloween candy and had an extensive library of movies she taped off cable and hand-catalogued in several little phone books, has passed away.

I have been meaning to learn how to darn the holes in my socks so I don’t have to buy a lot of new socks but too many of my socks have developed holes since I first had the thought and now it seems like I should just buy new socks after all

1997-september 10,2001; sept 11,2001-2003, 2003-december 2007 are three different decades

One time my therapist asked me if I could wave a magic wand and change one thing to make it so I could call myself an artist, what would it be? My answer, “universal basic income,” did not seem to be the kind of answer she was looking for

Perfect Tides: Station to Station comes out this Thursday m.youtube.com/watch?v=6I_r...

Literally the only specific thing I planned to do this week was play the new genshin update all day today and I goofed it all up by not going to bed on time so now I’m too sleepy

Consume Me good. Play consume me!!!! Or Watch me play the beginning of consume me and then buy and play Consume Me!!!!!! Or just skip right to playing Consume Me!!!! www.twitch.tv/videos/26623...

Is there anything worse than living in a house for literal years and suddenly learning there is some component you were supposed to be doing regular maintenance on the whole time

Just discovered the subreddit r/accidentalrockwell and it is delightful

I was gonna come on here and complain about how I bought boots the wrong size a second time because the big tech-run second hand clothing store keeps failing to be specific about if they are selling men’s or women’s or UK size 7 when all the relevant information is right there on the shoes But. Uh.

Happy new year my tummy feels better

Aw dang is that why my tummy hurts

Happy new year my tummy hurts

I used to manage wine programs for movie theaters and I am in the extremely unique position to say with professional certainty that the answer here is a crisp Albariño.

Last release of the year: "The X-Files viewing report", a booklet to print and document my (or your) viewing of the legendary show 👽 Available here: fantasticjean.itch.io/the-x-files-...

Has anyone figured out how to constructively make use of the new year resolution/new planner energy without it being a setup for future self-esteem self-sabotage

I’ve been given a few of my late grandma’s many little porcelain trinkets, and a couple of them need some repairs. Any idea what type of glue I should use to put this little trinket box back together? Bonus points if you can identify the mystery object that was inside it.

I accidentally used three times the amount of butter for my cookie frosting so I had to add more sugar and cherry juice to compensate so I now have just…. Way too much pink frosting

I think people are being too mean about the Ann Arbor penthouse listing. It’s maximalist as hell but it’s clearly packed full of stuff the owner loved and it all kinda goes together in a technicolor dreamscape kinda way

I overslept late enough that I have to skip taking my adhd meds so I don’t have trouble falling asleep later. That sentence is essentially a statement of fact but it feels like a joke, to me

I am still perplexed why “placeholder text” needs to be written by an llm. It is there to hold a place for final text. Why can’t you just put Lorem Ipsum or a keysmash or something???

Is there a story behind why I’m suddenly seeing and/or hearing Howie Mandel doing commercials for an astonishing array of different products? It feels like there must be a story, even if it’s just “he decided to say yes to every request this year”

The Bluetooth in the car refuses to acknowledge my phone so I am forced to listen to Switchfoot on the radio in the year 2025, time truly is a flat circle

This book made me so mad lol Various blurbs called it “unsettling” and “engaging” and I never felt unsettled or engaged even once. It’s full of characters coming to conclusions and taking actions that make absolutely no sense UNLESS their sole motivation is to create an elaborate puzzle situation

We gotta do something about metaphors

christmas has gotten so far from its religious roots, wish we could celebrate our holidays like medieval christians (cross-dressing, being told by the bishop to stop cross-dressing, resolutely refusing to stop cross-dressing, threatening the bishop in defense of cross-dressing)

I haven’t produced any new Genshin YouTube videos (besides uploading the first couple archon quest long plays) and I’m already in full end of year sloth mode but I keep thinking too much about why I like Genshin and why Infinity Nikki lost me and maybe there’s a kinda interesting video essay in that

Call me old fashioned but I simply do not think you should bring a toilet with a smart camera into your home no matter how encrypted it claims to be

Do the people who say “ai is coming for architecture” actually have eyes, that they use? Are they being sincere when they say shit like that?

I’m watching hallmark movies with my mom and this one is doing a “Return to Me” plot except I think they’re waiting until the last minute to reveal that anyone got an organ transplant from anyone else’s dead spouse to explain why they’re mysteriously drawn to each other

"We are not always what we seem, and hardly ever what we dream" #pixelart

Pour one out for the last twenty rows of knitting I just finished, because my row gauge deviated too much from the pattern which means I have to redo it all so the sleeve underarms don’t start at my navel

Ok I have finished reading Crime and Punishment and I am somewhat perplexed about it being hailed as a piece of great writing. Some of the chapters were actually good and interesting but invariably they were the ones focused on everybody *but* the main guy.
