They've moved on to Repo now, but still, go! Watch! Donate! It's for the kids!

There's a Christmas song called "Snow" (the version I have is by Rosemary Clooney and Percy Faith and his Orchestra). In it, she says she wants to "wash her hair with snow". Every time I hear that, I'm like "No! No,you don't. You don't know where that snow's been!"

They're going until 10pm EST. Go! Watch! Donate!

Everybody say "Hi" to Jack.

Hat would be an incredible asset to any company smart enough to pick him up!

There was a fire in an apartment near mine. Luckily contained to just that unit. Traumatic, nonetheless.

One of the safety apps I use tracks fires. It popped up a notification that said "Van Fire" and at first I thought it was an actual van on fire. No. Brush fire well north of me with that name.

Haven't been able to actually do my job for three weeks, and it'll likely be four before we're back up and running. Fairly major fire to the south of me, but we're getting some rain, so, kind of a silver lining. #LifeUpdate

Well, now. The 109th Indianapolis 500 pretty much had it all. Weird wrecks, a fire in the pits, cold weather, rain. Just weird.

I need help. On Friday (day before our move) my bf and I were robbed (non-violent). We are both ok. But my bf had his phone, ID, and cards stolen. We've had to put much of our move on hold but I am running out of funds. I don't know what to do besides ask for any help you can. ko-fi.com/smashleytv

Omg thank you everyone who has signal boosted or donated. I can't thank you enough. Definitely breathing a lot easier. Thank you. We are gonna get this move DONE.

Carpets are clean. Apartment is vacuumed. Cat slept through all of it.

What's needed to move to Canada if I could prove my maternal grandfather was born in Canada?

Beware the Ides of March. Or was most people call it, March 15th.

If there are dwarf planets, which must of course be populated by dwarves, are there are elf planets? Orc planets? Centaur planets? *gasp* vampire planets?

Not sure how Hemmingway wrote drunk. I can barely type properlly.

I'm 4-5 beers in to tonight. My boss is a real chad. I'm tired of all the bullshit.Unconsciousness to come. Yay.

Ben Affleck can't catch a break.

Can Philly get to 40 in just under 10 minutes?

It looks like it's time to bring this back...

It's been four years. Four desperately hard years since my father died. Not a day goes by that I don't think about him and mom. Mostly little things. But we survive. It's what we do.

I suppose I need to mention here, as I have on every social media platform I've ever been on. You get out of it what you put into it. Curate your feeds. Only view material from people you've personally followed. You can control the firehose, but it takes effort.

I took the garbage out a few minutes ago. It's in the 30s. I can hear an ice cream truck rolling down the street. At least the ice cream won't melt.

Bills are paid and there's still money in the bank. I call that a win.

Listening to bits of the "A Complete Unknown" soundtrack and I gotta say for the most part they found people who can not only sing but pull off passable sound-alikes of the people they're portraying. If anything Chalamet could have gone for more of the frontal, nasal sound that Dylan had early on.

The Twelve Days Of Christmas does make more sense if you realize all the gifts are birds.

Turns out the "cold" is the flu. Yay.

My back is feeling a bit better. Still stiff in the morning, but getting there. Of course, that means I'm feeling a cold coming on.

Looked out the window and thought it was raining. Nope. Snow. Won't stick, but snow.

Back's feeling a little better. Ache has localized to the left side and only really hurts when I stand up from sitting for a while (30+ minutes). Still taking it slow.

Of the things that piss me off, one that pisses me off the most is when people hog all the machines in the laundry room. I know nobody wants to be in there longer than we have to, but have some fucking consideration for others.

My Spotify Wrapped for 2024. Yes, I subscribe, and yes I listen a lot. The Chicago thing is almost totally due to finding the Carnegie Hall Complete set and listening to all *14 hours* of it multiple times.

One of the things that really irks me is when I look up lyrics to a song I know, that I've sung for years, that I've heard for years, and they're either wrong or they omit words for some odd reason.

Back's feeling a little bit better. Still twinges now and then and I can't sleep in my bed, but making slow progress.

This morning I managed to throw my back out by putting on a sock. A. Sock. How I managed this I'll never know. So, heat wraps and rest for the next couple of days.

Post your favorite Pokemon, wrong answers only!

The starter is pretty bored after three days of "go to the start". I think he needs to jazz it up some. Maybe "Y'all get to the start" or "We're waiting..."

@lydiakang.bsky.social Also, to grace your feed...

I watching a replay of the speedskating from Nagano and there's a shot of athletes at the Blade Checking Desk, and now I have questions.

Oh, hey! Did you use Tweetdeck back in the old days? Would you like something similar for BlueSky? (Bluesky? Blueski?) Anyway, check out deck.blue It works a lot like Tweetdeck. Worth a look.

Okay. Looks like we're going to have to do this here, too. Media is a plural. The singular is medium. Do not write "other social medias" anywhere, any time. "Other social media" is fine. Or "other socials". Or even "other places you can find me on the Internet". *eyetwitch*

There's a cat on my lap. I cannot move. I've had a good life...

Just watched my cat go through choice paralysis. I cleaned her bowls and put food in each. She walked over, looked at one bowl, looked at the other, did the cat equivalent of a shrug and walked away.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #684,097!

@dndiscussions.bsky.social Morte from the new Planescape set was your first companion in the Planescape: Torment PC RPG. One of the best of the Bioware D&D RPGs. (Technically produced by Black Isle studios, but it used the then-current Bioware engine.) Always loved his snark.
