Happy Miss Congeniality Day to all who celebrate!

I must be among the wicked because I sure get no rest

I sat with my discomfort today. Pretty cool dude, we have a lot in common

Just saw a Taco Bell ad and remembered when the first restaurant opened in my country and I read a post by this lady who was asking about starting legal proceedings because, let's put it mildly, her tummy did NOT agree with the food.

👏👏👏👏 Give it up for the mosquito in my room that's way too fast for me!

Never going back to gDocs (for many reasons) esp since ellipsus made me breathe heavily when it gave me this level of versioning

Howling at the illustrator's choice to portray Aladdin like this

Exactly 💯

Wild how a while ago I was surprised to find out that that one guy from TØP wasn't, in fact, named Clancy, and I just shrugged and went on with my life while doing precisely 0 (zero) extra research. Anyway, I'm ~18k words deep into a fic in which I emphatically *do* know who Clancy is.

As I'm waiting for the washing machine door to unlock I'm thinking ...is there an economy in Dema? Is there like, inflation in Dema?

Just heard someone refer to flash drives as "old technology". ...okay. 🥲

A thing I noticed after more than half a decade as a bookseller - there's a reader for every book.

I wanted to you to show me The way around those city walls The way on through

Suspicious house is eyeing you with suspicion

Are you supposed to say, "bless you," "Gesundheit," or the local variant if a stranger sneezes in close proximity? (And covers their mouth properly) Or is it weird/rude to do it? I still don't know but this lady on my train car shall remain unblessed I guess

The fact that the only two social media apps I use are BlueSky and Tumblr says a lot about me. None of it good, probably, but A Lot. I guess I'm into them dead/dying social medias? Lack of fascists is also a plus.

I'm beginning to think that ad lied to me - the future is neither bright, nor orange

Look, I love us Freaks (affectionate) but I'm low-key afraid to look up Project Hail Mary on AO3

Inspired by absolutely no drummers or Joshes, I kinda want that nose piercing I've been wanting for a decade+ 🥲 But damn allergy; I react even to hypoallergenic jewelry. Had to remove my labret eventually. 5 yrs on and my last piercing still hasn't fully healed. Brain says DO IT body says lol fu

The existence of forearms implies the existence of aftarms, and the thought makes me vaguely uncomfortable

#brag Poor craftsmanship vs amateur with felt, good glue & a bone to pick with said poor (and expensive??) craftsmanship. Time spent fixing things is time won.

Damn. Why must Electric Castle happen all the way in Cluj? (Yeah yeah "Ardealul e fruncea," știu 🙄)

Throwback to the time I went to watch Prometheus and spent 3/4ths of it with my face buried in my guy's shirt because I had no idea the movie was in the Alien universe and I had effectively paid money to be retraumatized. Facehuggers no - facehiding YES 💯 (facesitti---

applying for jobs again

I wonder how much more Twenty One Pilots' music would hit if I knew the lore. They already speak to me A Lot (plus damn, banger after banger) but it's all filtered through my experiences & feelings. I don't even know where to start to get into Dema(?) & all. Not even sure I "have" to. Still <3 tho

I got a haircut so expensive it should straight-up be called "Robert"

I think only the guy who did the "IN A WORLD...." voice for the trailers of the 2000s could make these days sound less like a dumpster fire and that we all need that. As a treat.

The cuneiform spreadsheets, subtly made worse

What if -- and hear me out here -- what if we all chill the fuck out for a minute? Or a million? Is that too much to ask?

I wonder if Keanu knows he's playing classic 80s instrumentals on a saxophone in a field nowhere (Spanishly and AI-generatedly)

Damn, that's crazy. Anyway, I'm more into the Heated kind of Rivalries, okay?

Mentally and fundamentally, I am not okay.

#AO3 is back up (for me, at least) A greater joy has never happened on a Monday right after lunch, a time typically reserved for deep sighs and acceptance of one's fate

Joke's on you? No, usually the joke's on me. And I'm not laughing because I don't get it (surreptitiously takes my phone out to google joke) *half-hearted, confused laughter*

Get in loser, we're going to the void store to buy one to scream into

Sometimes when I'm feeling completely unhinged I think what if there was an app for me to get my hinge back on? (no, not that. not that either)

Turns out Jacob Elordi was simply not Kenough

"The lion doesn't concern himself with --" STOP. The lion better fucking start to concern himself because the lioness is overworked and tired, okay?

Oh yeah, the inciting event in Pluribus really is the equivalent of finding a random USB stick on the ground and plugging it into your machine

I promise you I can read, but my color recognition works faster than my brain auto-decodes words. That's why I opened Shazam to send a, uh. BlueSky. Cloud? I forgot what I wanted to say anyway.

Is girlbossing too close to the sun dangerous if you wear SPF50?

Regular imposter syndrome is when I ask myself, what if I'm secretly stupid? Advanced imposter syndrome is when I ask myself, what if it's not SECRETLY??

HOPE for the best COPE with whatever the hell this all is

"Okay here's the thing," I start, knowing both Jack and Shit about the thing in question.

I have a 1k+ uninterrupted streak of minding my own damn business
