Guys, I finally get the appeal of vampires.

Also sending birthday love to my other b-day bro, the handsomest @gnuconsulting.com! Hope you're having a good one. :D

Happy birthday to my b-day bro @admiralk.bsky.social!!! I hope you're having a great one, and this one's for you:

The issue with having switched all my prescriptions to Costco is that sometimes I now have to go to Costco on a Saturday. It's a very large and loud crowded space full of rules that I don't 100% know, so this will take quite a bit of psyching up to happen.

My favorite thing about old Muppets bts photos is seeing the beloved characters of my childhood in the midst of some silly jape, being held up by Henson and Oz, who are staring at a camera feed with the grim intensity of a hostage negotiator.

I had to start telling my brother to STFU because he would start every conversation with something negative he saw online. He's switched from obsessively watching ragebait to hyperfixating on books in a genre I hate (but I don't care because I'd rather hear about it than Meidas Touch or whatever).

I've started making training videos for work and since nobody else will narrate, that task falls to me. Proving once again that my eleventh grade speech class from high school was extremely clutch. Had no idea that class would be so frickin' relevant my whole life.

If you're suffering from imposter syndrome, remind yourself that bestselling author John Boyne USED LIZALFOS AS DYE MATERIAL IN HIS BOOK like a dumbass and sold millions, and go on about your day as the badass that you are*

Starting off August at the emergency overnight vet and it's still better than all of July. (Phineas is okay, he's just got something going on with his ear and wouldn't settle)

Somehow the family chat topic turned to Animorphs tonight and I realized some things may never be okay. Uh, spoilers for a 20+ year-old book series, I guess? (Conversation brought on by my mom asking if they saved the world or not.)

Fun kind of circle: Originally had the idea for my Hostage Girl books while watching Lois in Superman Returns. Named a character Naomi Gunn after Gunn from Angel. Gunn was named for James Gunn. Who just directed my new favorite Superman movie. Ultimately it means nothing but I think it's neat.

I like that Dropout is breaking the mold and making a foray into horror

Since the power was out I dragged myself to "that dinosaur movie" (I later looked up the title) and it's basically 2 very fun hours of "It's behind me, isn't it."

The dog has discovered there's a window in my bedroom (usually covered by blackout curtains because I don't spend much awake time in there) and he is Very Perturbed. And barking. Which makes this power outage even better, as you can imagine.

There were two or three cybertrucks in the parking lot at the CAKE concert and I do have to wonder if the owners were super uncomfortable the whole show or if they just lacked self awareness that the band on stage was mocking them in particular with the new songs. I gotta figure it's the latter.

You know what, I'm finally ready to say it: I'm still mad that Coach Bombay benched Julie for everything but the last shoot-out in Mighty Ducks: D2. That was some sexist nonsense and I expect better of you, Coach. (Yes, this HAS bothered me since before I was even old enough to articulate why)

Stayed with my parents last weekend & they have my books in their guest bedroom. Read the first half of SUPERVILLAINS ANONYMOUS and came to 2 conclusions: Holy shit, I'm hilarious. And Gail Godwin thoroughly, desperately, and completely needs a nap, ASAP.* *being knocked unconscious does not count

So CAKE gives away a tree at their concert to a person who can guess the type and I felt so bad for the guy near me who guessed correctly but was misheard by the lead singer. Our entire section of the audience was outraged. Collective chanting was had.

Hi from the CAKE concert, my hugh school and college self is so happy right now.

Dad's applying to become a lifeguard at the Y and has asked me to fill in a reference on his behalf. They're asking me for his most significant accomplishment. "Not screaming I despair when his oldest said she was going to major in communications" is probably not the answer they're looking for.

I hate this fuckin state so much.

My millennial toxic trait is there's a new pope and I have Scotty Doesn't Know playing on a loop in my head.

I try not to judge spelling on the internet because those days are mostly behind me. But for the love of little apples, D&D community, X-men fans, and everybody else: ROGUE. NOT ROUGE.

Saw Thunderbolts* and my friend and I both firmly agree that racist Great Value Captain America was not necessary.

We rented a dumpster and have done the first step in the Great Defuckening of 2025 (you can now walk through the garage). Also defucked: the fridge! We took a shelf out because three people with ADHD means that invisible bottom shelf is where food goes to die.

They've sucked for the past few years and I angrily went my separate way but I'm still, uh, having some emotions about the full end of Nano. That used to be a big part of my life. I've met so many people through it that I cherish to this day. To all the good times, but good riddance, I guess.

Oops All Bards playthrough going well, happy to report. #bg3

Look, sometimes dog ownership is three of you holding down the dog who has managed to wind some kind of string under his tongue, and the appropriate sliminess that comes from that. And sometimes it's waking to discover that 98% of your bed no longer belongs to you. It's a good thing they're cute.

Eat your heart out, Freud. (Doing a Selunite cleric run to have a fun enemies to lovers storyline with Shadowheart and downloading the mod that gave me PC hairstyles was either a mistake or the greatest thing ever)

Passed a Tesla in the parking lot that had a bumper sticker saying "bought this before the megalomania" (paraphrasing), so they apparently do exist in the wild.

I took a screenshot that makes it look like my bard is about to get shanked by Shadowheart. She's getting ahead of herself. We wait 'til the 15th for the stabbing, Shadowheart.

To the engineer who mapped this macro to CTRL S: I am going to hunt you for sport. Hugs and kisses, Lexie

Everything sucks but in June Cake is coming here and I HAVE TICKETS AND THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER

So I learned he's probably just a cheater, so that's nice.

Sigh. People who pretend to have been assaulted for clout reasons should legally be allowed to be hunted for sport for making it much more difficult for actual victims.

Thursday! What a concept!

God, grant me the strength to change what I can, the dexterity to evade what I can't change, the constitution to survive what I can't evade, the intelligence to know what I can't survive, the wisdom to learn what I don't know, and the charisma to pretend I did it all on purpose.

‘You Can’t Let This Happen,’ Says Fundraising Email From Sitting U.S. Congressperson

Another day, another youtuber I liked being hit with very credible sexual assault allegations. If anybody needs me, I'll be in Baldur's Gate.

The song Breakfast at Tiffany's is really scraping the bottom of the barrel romance-wise, huh

The horrors persist but so do-- wait, is that another horror? there are more horrors? Anyhow like i was saying, the horrors persist but HOLY SHIT MORE HORRORS? WTF MAN

Another day, another take of "this character isn't evil, you're just mean to him!" Character in question: *mind-raped a woman for years, causing her to have a stroke* Sure_jan.jpg

Just saw a post with a copy of Dragonflight comparing it to Fourth Wing in a "Hmmm seems familiar 🤔 " kind of way and DO NOT MAKE ME GET THE SQUIRT BOTTLE BECAUSE I WILL DO THAT

Running errands all day and I hopped on to check up on things and...yikes.

Sorry for the quiet lately. I check in for a few minutes a day and absorb as much as I can handle and then I go back to playing BG3 because. Well. How's everybody doing?

Two separate people have left their phones unsilenced in the set of lockers next to my cubicle and if I have to hear the crickets chirp ONE MORE TIME, I will....continue thinking mean thoughts that direction and suffer on with moderate complaining because office. But still: ugh

Friends, I am BEGGING YOU to a) use alt text on all images in order to make them accessible to everyone and b) label the images of current political numbskulls with their names so the images are picked up by mute lists.

I told coworker I didn't sleep much because a favorite author had released the last book in her trilogy and I was so excited I started reading at midnight. Her: oh, Onyx? Me: who? And we both kind of looked blankly at each other (There's a new Loretta Chase book out. I'm so happy)
