Got out the 2026 planner for work planning. It's got new planner smell

I'm a millennial, so I don't understand the 6-7 meme, but I feel like an airline having a $67 flight deal suggests the meme has breached containment and is now uncool.

OH. There goes all my excitement for Divinity. :/ Even if there won't be AI in the final product (says the interview), not thrilled about it being used in the preliminary brainstorming work.

Playing Durin's story quest and you know what? I think Venti needs a glow up. Like Durin and newer characters have cute fancy eyes....Venti needs something like that. The only reason he doesn't is cause he has an older character design.

Do we tell them we use it as an antifungal for our fish embryo water?! 🤭

Did some cleaning, mailed all my Christmas related items, working through piles of laundry, eating up leftovers, got a real Library card...today has been super productive!!

I deserve some kind of appreciation that I asked for the normal silver Mac for work and NOT the pink one. Cause I was tempted. If I was getting one for personal use, you know I'd get the pink.

I am battling technology today, specifically that some technology is too old to be compliant for use at work (with literally nothing else wrong with it!!) and that new technology lacks USB-A ports (because to hell with backwards compatibility)

A long time ago, someone on reddit offered to mail cookies to people, so my naive little self agreed to this. I still think of those chocolate chip cookies cause you could tell they were baked with love. I hope that person is still baking good cookies.

Happy ILD, here is Kiddo intensely sniffing my head bow.

Tried lox today. I don't think I like it.

firefox AI and slop disablers from tumblr for the people from local hero mckitterick. Tried it on my end and the browser is significantly faster now (copy paste-able in the alt text)

I am absolutely feral over this. Meta re-releasing my favorite JSK ever, in a color I was hoping they would release, now with POCKETS?!?! Merry Christmas to me ♡

Re-listening to Wicked soundtrack before going to see the movie, and I am once again hit with all the brilliant foreshadowing in "The Wizard and I"

Listening to videos about the insanity over the Starbucks bear cup and I wonder if anyone who went insane over the Target Valentine's Stanley cup (another insane cup release) is still using theirs.

Reading Death's End by Cixin Liu (3rd book in the Three Body Problem trilogy) and this meme really shows how humanity is throughout this story (especially this book but the whole series really)

Raising a glass for Rosalind Franklin tonight. James Watson absolutely did her dirty. But beware...

i say thank you to the bus driver when i get on and yell thank you when i get off every day i ride the bus, and i take two buses to and from work, being nice and friendly costs you nothing and should be your default expectation for yourself because it improves your day and everyone else’s day

Ugh I have to talk in front of a group of people today. In the weird void of being nervous, hoping I don't start every slide with "So..." and being just so over it.

Now that I know how to do tiling images on the confocal, this is all I want to do.

Woke up, and it already feels like today is going to be difficult and anxious.

Happy Halloween to all the terrifying teleost tricksters out there! Credit original art to artist and illustrator Priyanka Oberoi🎃 🧪

ハッピーハロウィン🎃👻 #HappyHalloween #ハロウィン

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! 🎃🕷️🧹 Something old because I'm not up for something new, but hope everybody has a nice time!

Finished reading The Dark Forest by Cixin Liu yesterday. It took me a few tries to get into it (Three Body Problem hooked me right away), BUT the pay off was good!!

Accidentally used hot water in my protein powder this morning. Do not recommend 😭. In better news, I got some in new flavors, so that will be fun

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
