Okay so I dont need a new desk mat. But I need THIS new desk mat.

💚

Something "new" and fun planned tonight, for my first stream of the New Year! Join us at 6:30 EST!

Had Kenna cut and dye my hair, and I inadvertently look like my XIV character. Not as handsome, of course, but like...its close.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

I just...I need to know why Bluesky thinks I want to see core content on my timeline. Or inflation. Or diaper stuff. Not shaming anyone, but it is absolutely not for me and I don't want it. Evidently, muting the words isn't enough.

Restarted my diet today. Got a ton of high fiber foods, reducing my carb ibtake (not eliminating it), going to try really hard to not drink my calories. Bam, woke up with a migraine that only let me work about 5 hours today. Dinner is now hash browns and chicken patties. :/

So it's crazy dry at my place already. And I want to add some greenery to my room. Any suggestions on plants that aren't crazy high maintenance, but might help add a little humidity to my room?

A thread of things I’ve learned now that I’m 50. 1: You should never lay out in the sun or in a tanning bed to work on your tan. Looking like a raisin at 40 will matter more than you think. And also think of your poor dermatologist who has to take pictures every year of all of those moles.

Can I ask a serious question? Don't come for me in the comments, I legitimately would appreciate an explanation. Let's say they release the Epstein Files. And Trump is all over them, as we well know. What will change? He's gotten away with 34 felony counts, we know he's a pedo. I don't understand.

Been fighting a cold for about a week, one of those annoying ones that doesnt ever really fully hit, just one symptom then the next. Was gifted a congested head two nights ago, and to retaliate I ate a lot of homemade buffalo sauce. Been up for an hour with heartburn like I haven't had in months.

And for my next trick! *sits very still with the lights off, nursing a migraine*

Some day, it won't work. Some day, I will reach for it, and it won't be there anymore. Very healthy to be thinking that right now...

Laying in bed, trying so carefully not to over think. But theres that layer just above your subconscious. You know it's there, and it does what it wants, thinks what it wants. Next thing you know, your heart is racing and you are scrambling for the only thing that calms your anxiety attacks.

“Just” friends, as if friendship could ever be just anything. As if it doesn’t run soul deep, carved into bone like initials on a tree. As if it doesn’t have the power to save you or bring you down to your knees.

Its now, in the early hours of the morning, when I am at my loneliest. Laying in bed for hours doesnt let me sleep. All the people I love are quiet. I have nothing but my own thoughts, and they are crueler to me than anyone has ever been.

I was planning on going for a hike in the woods. Its been cold, foggy, and rainy all week. Forecast was calling for the same today. Wake up this morning to sunshine, and a ton of work in my email. I just want to walk through the woods, touch the maples, sit with the ferns; all with a steady rain.

Friday is so far away.

I've noticed a funny thing. The media that I love the most, that I hold dear, is the media I consume the least. I wont watch a movie, I'll skip a song on a playlist. I think it's because I'm afraid it might disappoint me, or it wont hit as hard.

(Yes, I know the previous post was fucking juvenile and stupid. 300 characters is not enough to explain things, and express how I feel about it. You get a frowny face, and you get a frowny face, and you get a grown face!)

Got a little time with people tonight. I think it helped. Not with the loneliness, but with being able to let them go.

I hate that my neurodivergence makes me come across as standoffish, emotionless, and/or uncaring because I do genuinely care so much I will just never feel like the words I say will have any sort of impact and even if I did the words never come to me regardless

When will I stop seeking someplace to vent? Every time I say anything out loud, I feel like I'm doing it for attention.

I push people away, and then when they stop coming back, I get hurt. I see it coming, fuck I warn them that I do it. I need to stop letting myself get close, everyone ends up hurt.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

I think I just want my friends to know that despite everything, despite all the crap I pull, that I really care about them and I love them. I'm okay with loving people from afar, I've been pushing people away my whole life. I'm just trying to be better.

I dunno. I finally told some people about what is going on with me, and I feel like its too little too late. Its really my own fault. I love them for who they are, and if not being present makes their life better, then I want them to protect that peace.

Day 6 #terrabranford #finalfantasyvi #arttrober2025 #arttrober

hold on just a second here

Saw a post yesterday in which someone was talking about "all the good games we've already gotten this year!" And my brain is like: I mean, it's only May, we have been pretty spoiled. It's fucking October.

I played "Character Creation" on the harp, to celebrate the upcoming Ivalice Chronicles! ❤️ #FinalFantasy #FinalFantasyTactics

In the darkest parts of the night, I think about leaving. Spending money I don't have to fill the tank of a car that isn't mine, and drive somewhere I've never seen before. Do something with the monotony that has become my life, go on even a small adventure.

A very good friend sent me info on aego out of the blue, and said "This sounds a lot like you." What a way to find out.

Rice maker. Garlic powder, onion powder, dried minced onions, turmeric, salt, chicken bouillon. Washed rice, let it run. After the timer goes off, you add blackened broccoli and scrambled eggs. You can also add frozen dumplings. I made a lemon cake in it about 3 weeks ago. Rice makers are peak tech

With less than ten minutes to go, all I can say is we'll try again next year.

Not raptured?! You mean I deleted my browser history for nothing? This is bullshit.

Welp. Still here. Surely that means it happened and now its all the "bad" people left, right? Bet my mom picks up the phone...

Laughing about the rapture talk. This goes one of two ways: if we go by the bible, all of my friends and loved ones and I get raptured. Or the White Jesus Christians are right, and all of my friends and loved ones and I stay. If it's the latter, can someone let me know? I have no way to tell.

I bring you important content
