I have not lived here long enough to be as pissy as I am when someone parks in "my" spot (but also the basketball gym down the block can fuck RIGHT off)

Back in my day, AI used to stand for Adobe Illustrator! And we hated that, too!

I totally get the arguments against minting pennies but this is just another way that this administration has enshittified everything. triblive.com/local/region...

Put in another movie after Alien, because this is the maximum level of Fictional Peril that I can handle after all that. youtu.be/B6-nYQbUteA?...

We've collected a list of every local resource for food assistance we could find. These resources include pantries, free fridges, food banks, and free grocery programs by neighborhood or region:

Why can't you do it? Why can't you set your monkey free? youtu.be/kA9NNq_6N-w?...

Trying to watch the rest of Alien: Romulus now. Pretty sure the pregnant lady is about to get eaten. She's on the wrong side of a door from the protagonist.

I never thought the leopards would...

This is not a real Calvin and Hobbes but im gonna pretend it is because A) its funny and B) holy hell that 1:1 lettering match! I am such a nerd for good comics lettering lol

*wakes up at reasonable time* Why are all the posts about the sportsball game only two hours old?

As orders for November and December start to be penciled in, a reminder about the freelance gigs I do, and that now is a great time to contact me if you want to see if I'm the right freelancer for you, or talk about work you may have coming up! Please do spread the word as well.

Ok, but the Hatch act has teeth, right?

My campus faculty ID badge access was keeping me humble this morning (I can't use the super special secret elevator, but my lab technician can.)

I'm so tired. But anyway, when the revolution comes, first against the wall, &c

Hey, why doesn't my league get the dinosaurs??? No fair!!

I'm not wearing a costume to bowling tonight because I am not a joiner. I think I'm going to tell everyone I'm an extremely fresh zombie.

someone needs to make a fan vid with clips from the aliens movies about the face huggers, set to the carpenters' "close to you," because that would make them less horrifying to me [the face huggers, not the carpenters]

Oct 26th 1985 - In the early hours of the morning, Einstein became the worlds 1st time traveller. 📽️📅 Back to the Future (1985)

Pancakes are a useless breakfast food. Tasty, but all carb. You're hungry again five minutes later. Just eat toast, it is less fussy.

The good news is I didn't accidentally borrow movies from the library that were already on my DVR this time. The bad news is I borrowed a non-Sigorney Aliens-franchise film. I'm... a little afraid to watch it. The xenomorphs freak me out. Why did I do this to myself? Will I sleep tonight?

just in time for halloween, the elliptical has killed me and all future posts are being made by my ghost 👻

There are two wolves inside you...

Hoopla has figured out that I am gay and like hockey (and fiction about gay hockey players) so I guess my reading list is set for the next little while. The Algorithm is not *always* terrible.

In 69 days (niiiice) it will be 2026 and this fucking year will be history.

This feels like cheating because I only watched half of Indiana Jones so far, ~and~ the fourth-last-watched was like three weeks ago, but #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched Reviews/comments in alt text

It is only 11am and already the day has sapped my will to live.

Highlander: The Series 1x21 - Anthony Head guest stars as the father of a scumbag rapist. He does not have a British accent or a stutter, and does not at any point clean his glasses. It is weird.

It took me four tries over the course of however long since it was released, but I finally got past the "fight on the roof of a moving train" sequence in the newest Indiana Jones, and, like, an hour into the movie I am still just not interested. Sigh.

Pittsburgh - check this flyer out for the locations of distros that serve food locally as we approach the SNAP cliff in November. To be clear, these are open to anyone.

I did not create the drama (this time) I just pointed and said "hey look, some drama" and things kind of unspooled from there. 🍿

I respect that you've been faculty since before the wide adoption of email, but by now you should know how not to "reply all" ffs.

Exercise sucks and now I want a McMuffin.

The fallout of having accidentally attended a lecture at the library last week is that I am now intentionally attending a focus group to discuss possible changes to the library's hours.

I turned off predictive text yesterday after noticing tons of typos that I assumed were AI Autocomplete issues. Good to know it isn't Fat Thumb Syndrome, at least. triblive.com/news/world/i...

I feel like I am a bad lib for not posting my personal hot take on "nazi tattoos are bad" but tbqh it was almost 24 hrs before I even knew who the heck y'all were talking about. No one was saying the individual's name; anyway I am online too much AND not enough.

I definitely read this book when it was a hockey RPS, and, like, the serial numbers are *barely* filed off. [reads it anyway]

I would also like $230 million in compensation, for having to put up with all this bullshit for the last decade.

Had a slightly uncomfortable conversation with my boss about the merits of waterfalls vs rivers/lakes that I'm used to. I think I came out of it with us on at least a similar page? Anyway, for now: the rivers. But at least he's now aware I'm thinking about 'falls.

I propose a constitutional amendment to add "No, really" to every article/section (except, like, the 3/5 of a vote thing)

Monsters. I work with monsters.

I had a small role in a preclinical study of a drug that is now FDA-approved for {disease I study, preclinically} and that is kind of neat.

Locals: how do we feel about the county judges? How would I even research this? I was expecting yes yes yes, not yes x 10!!!

Currently debating the merits of chasing waterfalls, versus sticking to the rivers and the lakes that I'm used to. (career wise)

Watching Wicked for the second time in two days (before I return it to the library) like the flaming red hot homosexual stereotype that I am. So basic! So bitch! (I genuinely don't know if I like this movie or not.)

lol

Includes: box.

Kady Harris Elpheba from Mean Girls 🤝 from Wicked done accepting limits

I’m not allowing myself to check out another queer sports-themed romance novel on hoopla until I finish my physical library books, dammit. I have read, like, ten romances in the last two months while the half-read fantasy novel already autorenewed once and is due next week.
