Only learning now that you can just (so long as it isn't diseased) you can mix your houseplants' existing soil with amendments instead of just replacing it all with new soil which is what I've been doing and it's goddamn expensive.

Now I'm just fuckin with ya

I did the "just sit the fuck down to the page and see if you can get some words out" and they weren't excellent words but better than no words. This is the clay from which you sculpt your final work, you need some material to build up even if you scrape it off later.

I've written about how thrilled I am that white nationalists are infuriated about Nolan's The Odyssey, because racialist assholes shouldn't claim ownership of art that they have neither read nor understood.

And I, for one, am incredibly grateful as it's probably my favorite genre.

Someone has to have done this one already, right?

Okay so obviously we need to use this to do TV Guide-style episode summaries.

I'd REALLY appreciate it if anyone who sees this would try out my text generators so I can iron out any remaining bugs. Please, and thank you! trek.epicrandomness.com

i want to reply but i don't want the replies to my reply,

Few things as disheartening as seeing a book, game, movie, any piece of media I love mutate into An IP.

Teacher complains my kid has trouble focusing and staying on task like what would you like me to do about it?

Kiddo and I were on our way home and saw a hawk just chilling in a tree. I stopped the car (it's a pretty deserted road) and it just looked at us. I rolled down my window and take a pic and caught it as it started to take off.

Today's lunchbox doodle. I didn't know what to draw so I sketched a bird from this coaster and a joke came to mind while I did it.

open.substack.com/pub/mochimoc... Reader, I pre-ordered so fucking fast.

Today's lunchbox doodle.

Sucks that the only three jobs now are indentured servitude, email, and lying for attention.

This, in writing too.

My husband literally witnessed a police officer trying to talk some old lady out of using one of these in a gas station because some scammer had told her one of her relatives was in trouble and needed her to buy and transfer crypto.

Today's lunchbox doodle:

Had to have hubs pull an embedded tick off of the middle of my back this evening. I used to be an indoor kid, and this is why.

Pick a Bond villain from the photos you already have on your phone.

"Go outside! The weather is beautiful!" Black flies Deer flies Wasps fucking everywhere (eight of them buzzing around and in and out of my picnic table umbrella when I'm trying to eat lunch with my very skittish kid). Yeah... Maybe I'll sit by a window. 😡

Just saw a deer fly out the window 😑

Finished!

Every year I see seed packets and go, "Hey, seeds are pretty cheap, I'll just sow seeds," forgetting that the only thing I've really successfully grown from seed is my human son.

I don't know what the weather is like where you are right now, reader, but if it's gorgeous like it is here, grab a chair and sit out in the sun or under a shady tree and read my book. If it's nasty out, curl up somewhere cozy and enjoy some sexy, bloodthirsty, ruthless vampires.

my wife took the kids out and I read forty pages of a book in a row during daylight hours. this never happens. feel like I'm playing hooky

Completely true for me.

What's your not really a dream job but just an odd job you'd do if you could make some money at it? Mine is hiring myself out to assemble IKEA furniture and other stuff that's "some assembly required." Or if there's anyone who for some reason likes LEGO sets but not putting them together themselves.

Today's lunchbox doodle:

All right, time to add Washington Post and WaPo to the muted terms list...

As a lunchlady, big fucking heavy sigh (we already can't get working equipment, enough staff, or decent ingredients with the funding we have). www.npr.org/2026/05/14/n...

Lego, I understand that some sets are enormous, but if you're going to have, say, more than one "bag 3" then at least name them bag 3a and 3b or something so I don't wonder why I'm missing a bunch of pieces allegedly in "bag" 3 (not bags 3).

My man!

KDP removed my book from a category because the AI probably didn't find mention of a werewolf until near the end. I feel like we ought to crowd source category swaps instead of leaving it up to the robots but I know I should focus on the battle against being entirely replaced.

I like this idea because I am running out of places to display sets and have to start taking them apart and putting them away like they're jigsaw puzzles.

Today's lunchbox doodle (kiddo will ask for cheese and crackers and then bring the cheese back home untouched. But hope springs eternal).

Bosom Bloodies: And we have a premise.

Haircut! I feel like myself again. 😌
