Both totally unnecessary and extremely funny that the Guardian has an interactive graphic for you to change the color of the US flag's blue to the color of the Reflecting Pool from 8 to 19 June and counting

There’s nothing like feeling excited a new edition of Jirel of Joiry is coming out, going to preorder it, and discovering you’d actually preordered it back in January. 😂😂🤦🏽‍♀️

Sorry but the best character on Widow's Bay is Patricia and it's not even close.

If Victor Frankenstein has no haters, I am dead.

I’m watching Branagh’s Frankenstein and remembering the days when I could believe that people refusing to get vaccinated against a plague was just the ignorance of an uneducated time. 😢

Therapy is a lot like my meds; after a while, you start to feel better, but have to ask: would you feel this much better if you stopped? 🤷🏽‍♀️

Remembering the legendary Heavy D on his birthday (May 24, 1967 – November 8, 2011) 💙🕊 🗣In this life, I strive for improvement, be your own guide, follow your own movement....

Me & Spouse are listening to the Shutdown Fullcast’s X-Men draft picks, and Spouse looks at me and says, “So many of these people I only heard of because of @carriempruett.bsky.social posting about them 15 years ago.” 😂😂💜

For most of our marriage, Spouse has been insisting that humanity needs to not exist. We had arguments about this. Actual fights. For YEARS. But y’all…. 2026 Humanity is really starting to win me over to his side. 🤦🏽‍♀️

ISTG, if I did not love my friends and wasn’t starving for in person contact, you would not catch me dead in a restaurant today. So many screaming kids. 🙉

This show is great. Watch it while you can.

Me: OMG, I’m so tired! Also me: It’s almost time for four hours of Critical Role!!

Prices are going up at the END OF MAY, friends! That's right, you're running out of time to get our $145 early bird pricing. If you want to be in the room where it happens, register! $145 for FOUR DAYS of fun and games, October 22-25, IN CHICAGO! Register here: forms.gle/Pch3Rtc8CCqk...

It would be so completely On Brand, if I suddenly became immortal, with no need to sleep…and I still have Chronic Fatigue. That’s right up there with the Burgess Meredith Twilight Zone episode. IYKYK.

I have had so little sleep that I would not be at all shocked to find I have an alternate personality named Tyla Durdena walking around. 😂😂

This is a hell of a week for my therapist to need to cancel on me. 🙃

My car broke down today (I’m fine, I was on a side street in Frederick & not on the highway thankfully) and IT TOOK AS LONG FOR THE TOW TRUCK TO BE SENT AND ARRIVE AS IT DID FOR SPOUSE TO DRIVE FROM NJ TO PICK ME UP.

In MD today; I do not at all miss the inability of Marylanders to merge, or even understand the concept of merging. This is worsened by the East Coast spite that makes them refuse to let another person in.

Going back to last night’s Critical Role fundraiser, tho, it did remind me of how much I loved a lot of the variety shows of my youth and made me think that, in this time of 2m attention spans, it’s a perfect time to bring them back.

I love not using AI. I love hand-sewing weird little creatures, embroidering flowers and planets, reading horror stories written by human beings, making friends with crows. Not using AI is very fun.

I’ve been watching the Critical Role fundraiser off and on through the day and realized (re-realized?) fundraisers are just the S-level garage sale.

BREAKING: Maryland is about to become the first state in the nation to ban the use of surveillance data and dynamic pricing at grocery stores. The Maryland House has just passed the Protection from Predatory Pricing Act. Governor Wes Moore plans to sign the bill.

Watching Dust Bunny with Spouse and reflecting on how Bryan Fuller has a very specific aesthetic that requires the proper mix of trauma and whimsy….which I apparently possess in abundance! 😂

I misread the headline as one movie and got very excited for a moment…

In case you missed it, registration for CONfab is OPEN, and the early-bird pricing is still available at $145 for four nights of fun and games! We'll be in Chicago again this year, October 22-25, and we'd love to see you there! Register now at: forms.gle/Pch3Rtc8CCqk...

It’s truly frustrating how my complete ineptitude at making fan vids has not, in the slightest, deterred my brain from demanding them of me. I need a Tim Curry vid set to Devil in Disguise by Marino, y’all. It’s keeping me awake at night. 😂😭

Tapping the sign

A cis-male friend just tried to tell me I’m the first woman to ever say the Kurgen was the start of her crush on Clancy Brown. Tell me you don’t have a lot of women friends without telling me you don’t have a lot of women friends. 😂😂😂

what if we got a 100% blockrate on it. what if they designed an AI and we unanimously said "nope"

Update

Sometimes, I just look at birds and marvel that was ever a time that we didn’t know they were related to dinosaurs. LOOK AT THEM!!

Live your life in such a way that no one ever requires an appendix just to list all the ways they noticed you fucking up.

Hope you've got those wallets locked and loaded, friends, because registration for CONfab starts THIS SUNDAY, March 1st!! Early bird pricing is $145, and that price will not last forever, so register as soon as possible! See you in Chicago!

If ONE MORE of my friends from MD tells me how their snow has already melted, I am not responsible for my actions!!

Rewatching Grimm and I was just poking g through AO3, and has truly NO ONE done a Grimm vid to Madonna’s Vogue??

This is the way. When they come at us, we come back at them twofold. Raise that Pride flag every time they take it down. If they prevent that, surround the park with Pride flags. Ruin their petty little lives until they shit rainbows. Never stop. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/n...

There’s a certain comfort in seeing the pros have just as much trouble as the amateur class (in TTRPGs) at reading an item’s attributes in-character. #criticalrole #cr4

I hated my thick hair when I had it, but I would cry so hard with joy now if I got it back.

If you're a nail polish person, the MN-based small polish maker Atomic Polish is selling Ice Out, and 100% of the proceeds of it are going to the Immigrant Rapid Response Fund

My neighbor, a single mother of two in South Minneapolis, was abducted today and everything about it is heartbreaking. There is an immediate (and steep) financial need for lawyer costs. I know there are so, so many of these right now, but please consider this dear family: gofund.me/9516b14f7

This is the GM firing an assistant coach and hoping that will be the end of the questions, except with fascism.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Everything they learned in Minnesota they’re applying in Maine from day one. They started off doing fast-moving snatch and grabs on the street, recording and using facial id on observers, and threatening observers directly. They’ll do it all where you live too.

BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Don’t get it twisted, the dumpster fire that is THE WORLD in 2026 is my top enragement these days, but a surprising dark horse second place entry is for TikTokers who insist some super popular movie from the 80s is THEE MOST OBSCURE, no one’s EVER seen it but me, omg!

Up and down the west coast, Seattle to LA..

I know it's hard to track all the threats to democracy out there right now, but this is at the top of the list.

Good afternoon from downtown Chicago, where despite heavy snowfall, thousands have gathered for an anti-ICE/CBP demonstration in solidarity with the Twin Cities. More are still streaming in. Lt. Illinois Gov. Juliana Stratton just addressed the crowd, and called for ICE to be abolished.
