I worked for a small food pantry for a while. The can of beans you paid $1 for would cost us 20 cents through our connections. Give money directly if you can. You can literally multiply the amount of food your donation can provide by 3-5x just by giving cash directly.

My friend told me that her 14 year old son started doing laundry on Sundays for some of his elderly neighbors. He doesn't charge for the labor. And now he is the most popular person in the building and has non stop pies, cookies, and cake. The 14 year old should be our model of modern masculinity.

I need to schedule some days off for myself after I give my talk or else I am going to melt

Heard about the Louvre jewel heist and my first thought was “finally, some good old fashioned normal crime”

For my newsletter, I wrote about how I was affected by the No Kings protest in my town. (I am no longer thinking about fleeing the country) www.burnsnotice.com/no-kings-cha...

I need to watch Wicked movie again before seeing the next one. Just for funsies.

Someone told me that a Bonne Mamam jam advent calender exists and while I do not need such a thing, I cannot stop thinking about it

Today, I will sit and dissociate between trying to do things and thinking about the lipstick I reordered and plan things to do next week and aaaa

Hobonichi order arrived. Please appreciate how worn my 2025 pen is compared to the brand new 2026 pen. This is the pen I use at work every day.

I hope someone will someday appreciate my filenames for images like "sample 2 80x but it sucks"

In a funny contrast to this situation last month, I have now received a Jetpens order in two days.

Supporting my friendly neighborhood Flybase again this month

This is amazing. Every time I think I’m done crying someone does something kind like this and I’m in tears again. A weird mixture of happiness and gratitude and just missing him so bad.

Today is going to be a GOOD DAY. I saw a praying mantis yesterday (a good sign) and then a snail this morning (another good sign). These are signs of good luck to me because I think they are neat.

Tiny swan cross stitch 🪡🦢 i had lots of fun adding tiny little sparkles and trinkets 💫

Real damn tired of my new dishwasher melting my water bottles >:/

I LOVE VEGETABLE TEMPURA. You don't really need to know but now you do.

I'm doing Dracula Daily this year and have never read the book before. So, for today's entry where Mina is suddenly more exhausted than normal, I just KNOW IN MY GUT what is happening. I want to yell at the other characters to check on her more closely aaAAAA

Dying at the newsletter my dental clinic sent. It includes pictures of some of the dentists (not a bad idea), but they look like high fashion photo shoots.

The world has lost an extraordinary scientist, advocate, and teacher. But her legacy lives on in every person she inspired to care about our planet and its inhabitants. Rest in peace, Dr. Goodall. And thank you.

Hmm, my glittery highlighter markers just kind of absorb into the paper of this Scribbles that Matter journal, and now, a few days later, the glitter is not at all visible :S

KAEYA NENDOROID FINALLY He will actually arrive literally a year from now but I DON'T CARE I already waited like 3? years for him to be available anyway.

RIP CuteQ. I wore one of my. CuteQ skirts today, and so many people said they thought it was cute.

Oh boy, I can't wait to get my flu COVID shots today

she has friends now

The Ivalice Chronicles adds smart refinements to an all time classic, honing it to a sheen. But it’s impossible to play this game and not see it reflected in the state of modern America. I wrote about that, and the idea of resistance for Rolling Stone www.rollingstone.com/culture/rs-g...

1. When cats sleep with their belly exposed so you can pet it and it is SO soft. 2. When your fluorescent images turn out super pretty. 3. Eating fruit outside during nice weather. 4. Coming across a perfect leaf. 5. Getting a fun surprise in the mail (sometimes it's a surprise from past-you).

Very clever of me to use my last audio book hour today, before it renews tomorrow.

This week is going to be so busy and blah, and I'm already tired.

Me after not wearing egl in what feels like 70 years: I FEEL SO CUTE 🥰🥰🥰

I drew a little scene for @spookyxpickle.bsky.social, based on a photo they took a while back. I suggested a moth-slash-fairy-cat would be very cute peeping over the mushie cap, and was thereby challenged to draw a version (Machelle did one first, below!). So here's my little guys!

Chiitan loves all transgender people. I've received a lot of criticism for expressing my support, but what's more important is that all transgender people live happy lives.

It feels like I barely spent time in Natlan, but now it's time for Nod Krai! So far, the music is a bop. I really like it.

Me, in my feedback to Infold for the 1.9 housing update (which tbh isn't as bad as I had expected) : until you fix the stupid retcon in 1.5 where Ena is erased and now it's all the Seer and Sea of Stars blah blah, I AM GIVING MY MONEY TO HOYOVERSE FOR ELYSIA 2.0 thank u

Don’t say “Dems aren’t doing anything.” There’s just little attention to the courage of these Missouri Dems resisting the extreme gerrymandering of Republicans desigmed to increase Republican numbers in the House. www.kfvs12.com/2025/09/05/m...

Happy Caturday from Kiddo who has discovered the top of our (short) cat tree. #caturday #catsofbluesky #cat

Been excited for my Jetpens order all week cause going to finally be able to refill some fountain pen cartridges. I am in the same state as Jetpens. WHY IS USPS SENDING MY PACKAGE TO TEXAS AND COLORADO???

ITS FLAT FUCK FRIDAY ROLL THE CLIP

Decided I wanna wait til Oct 15 to order my Hobonichi planners. Gives me a good amount of time to recover from how spendy August was, and if no one fights back on the US tariffs being illegal by then, they won't charge them anymore. Maybe.

Holy shit this is gorgeous. I feel like crying, this is beautiful. Nod-Krai is going to be amazing.

The plans for today that I had been trying to coordinate around for several weeks fell through, and I am crabby. I should go eat a pastry today.
