Things that were great about GDT's Frankenstein (spoiler free!): the sets - holy hell were they fucking gorgeous character designs - the clothes and the colour palettes *chef's kiss* ...the creature being hot. Another win for the monsterfuckers.

"If I cannot inspire love, I will cause fear." Mary Shelley, you were a real one for that line.

This is Clio. She did not study for the test today. Also does not know how to read. 12/10 (IG: paspastotoro)

A big fat bumblebee landed on my arm this morning and hitched a ride for a little bit before carrying on her little way. I am choosing to take this as a sign of good luck. Lord knows we all could use some right now.

I made a mushroom! He's a bit sad and wonky as I did not stuff him enough, but he is mine.

Selfcare is buying a ticket to see GDT's Frankenstein.

I received my annual raise today. It is outpaced by my rent increase for the upcoming year. Which means I am legitimately in trouble and need to find a better paying job or a second stream of income somehow.

This was supposed to be a sphere, but I think the shape now makes it look more creature-shaped.

Every day it gets harder and harder not to blow the whistle on all the things the company I work for is doing. Especially with Canada Post on strike... seriously, we NEED our national postal service. These courier companies are not your friends, overcharge to underservice, etc...

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Astrology can be fun and all, but the surest sign that it is absolutely bullshit is that every time someone sends me my horoscope it's been telling me I'm going to have an exciting romance... for YEARS. With who? Myself???

The world is going to shit, but my boss went to bat for me against US management and got my time off request approved. The Andes are happening.

When you're having a bad case of the Mondays only for Air Canada to email you that your itinerary in January has been changed as your second flight was full. Of course I got bumped because I couldn't reserve a seat because Sky keeps sending me back to Air Canada who then keeps sending me to Sky.

Hey, why the fuck is Spam nearly $5?!

what a fucking way to find out magic is real

been saying about ghost jobs. it’s always been a lie.

I applied for a job last month and never heard back. A few days ago I got an alert about new job postings... and saw the position I'd applied to had been re-posted. But logging in to the workday page showed my application was still "under consideration." Makes me wonder if I fell for a ghost job.

When the person sitting near you at the library is breathing too loud, you know the problem today is you and not everyone else.

I wanted to see GDT's Frankenstein but Ticketmaster strikes again with tickets costing nearly upwards of $300!!! Who in their right mind would pay that when I can just wait a month for regular theater showings and pay a fraction of that cost?

Yesterday I: baked bread, applied to multiple jobs, and finished the lighting kit for the Endurance. Phone camera does not do it proper justice. (The ship being the same colour as my bookshelf does not help.)

We've been advised at work that we are no longer permitted to use abbreviations in our internal case notes. I'm placing bets it's because they can't train an LLM on abbreviated notes.

I'd just like somewhere in this godforsaken city I can go to where I'm not subjected to heavy bass.

Looking at the things I've crocheted and having a moment of realization that I'm the "COULD A DEPRESSED PERSON DO THIS?" meme.

Having upper management block off the vacation calendar effective immediately because of work volume after employees have been begging for help for months gives off big "the beatings will continue until morale improves" energy.

Being in your 30s can suck sometimes cuz you wake up one day and realize you haven’t seen any humans but your coworkers and random grocery store employees for a month

So I canceled my Duolingo subscription and deleted my account. Legitimately, that app is completely unusable now. If someone as mediocre at a language as ME is noticing AI mistakes then it's really bad. Anyway, looking for suggestions/recommendations for learning Spanish.

Also this arrived so I am rewarding myself for sending another job app/resume/cover off for review by trying to maybe set up some lights tonight. Will report back if this kit is legit.

As a sign of my ongoing mental health crisis, I attempted crochet for the first time and made a wonky little taco.

Struggling with life this week, but I did a silly little paint by numbers and it's not terrible...

I suppose in this day and age I should be grateful I received any sort of communication at all, but who sends out a rejection letter at midnight???

Nothing like job hunting to make one feel completely wretched and useless.

Aug 10th - K-Day. The first Kaiju sighting and attack on San Francisco. Date shown in Pacific Rim: Tales from Year Zero by Travis Beacham (who wrote the original story). Viral marketing and novelisation (by Alex Irvine) show August 11th 📽️📅 Pacific Rim (2013)

Employers keep putting a space in their applications for the candidate to enter in their salary expectations and I hate it.

Finding out there's a company that sells LED kits for Lego sets and they have one for the Endurance that both puts flickering lanterns in the life boats but also dramatically lights it from below to give a similar appearance to the infamous photo. I think I need this.

Aeroplan changing their points earning based on amount spent instead of distance traveled because I guess too many poors were making it into their Elite status club.

I snorted and cackled and giggled and snorted again

The world is so LOUD and I absolutely hate it.

I'm dogsitting for my sister and she has Disney+ so I'm finally watching Andor. And I would watch anything with Diego Luna but holy shit is this show actually good.

If someone ever tells you to wear gloves while working with hot peppers, FUCKING LISTEN TO THEM.

Would it be too silly if I drew some art to commemorate my first Nuzlocke victory?

When you realize the actor who plays Louis on IWTV also played Greyworm on GoT which means he was on an episode of Game Grumps playing Mario Kart.

Went to visit my dad to hopefully get some advice/help about finding a new job and quitting my current hellhole experience. Instead I got tag-teamed and lectured. "Why do you stay in situations that make you unhappy?" This is why.

The best way to describe this sundress right now is "breasted boobily." But it's too hot today to care.

One of my co-workers seems to have spontaneously decided I must become her arch-nemesis and is becoming increasingly openly hostile towards me. It's getting to the point where I'd be starting to get concerned for my safety if we worked in the same province.

I sincerely believe that talking to older people online in the pre-social-media era did me a lot of active good, and it amazes me that people are so hung up on cross-generational shared spaces. it’s literally how I learned to act right
