Counting down to when I begin repainting and gathering supplies to re-decorating my home office. I still want to get trim for the ceiling and get quotes for new ceiling tiles. #HomeAdventures

It's solstice! And the Oak King swapped the keys with the Holly King. Merry Yule to those who celebrate!

I have the will to bake, but my body only has the will to rest. So I'm listening to that. Resting is productive.

Phone is about to get shut off - Thank you so much for everyone’s patience and support 🖤 I do want to get everything taken care of before the holiday, so anything helps. I’ve already taken care of a lot already so it’s helping tremendously.

I literally JUST woke up, so LET'S FUCKING GOOOOO @gamemastermonday.bsky.social's Demigods cast have gotten back together to answer your questions, and talk about the miniseries. TUNE IN! We're a messy weird bunch. www.twitch.tv/gamemastermo...

Gods praise snow blowers. Mama Shears and I were out there for three hours clearing out the snow. #HomeAdventures

Family: What do you want for the holidays? Me, knowing full well my hobbies are massively expensive: Uhhh, what's the max budget? Mom: Sent me links. Me thinking of the painting: Can you buy me a can of grey primer?

I'm enjoying my space heater. BUT! What if space heater but looks like fancy fireplace???

#HomeAdventures holiday edition: Since Mama Shears and I are in the Holiday configuration, we are figuring out how to hang up all of the things. And we are bringing out the big guns.

HOLIDAY SALE! 🐈💖 Everything in store is 15% off with coupon code HOLIDAY15 thecatpod.xyz/discount/HOL...

Not gonna jinx it, but progress on compressing file is being made. Whether or not it will upload to drive will be the ultimate test.

i fucked up! tonight's stream is actually at 730p mt!

Time to fight my laptop by uploading a video to a google drive.

we’re live with control and our raices fundraiser! please come hang 🥺 i’ve missed you. twitch.tv/pherbear

They just quoted me $1,000 for the X-ray and the bloodwork. I told them to just start with the X-ray which is gonna be $350, but in the case they have to do bloodwork—I just can’t. Anything helps.

So being in the neighborhood of Ace makes for interesting moments for when you need to write a smutty scene. Do I care about the act? Meh. The emotions behind it? Hell yeah! lol

Getting in a little Sunday stream with @taruhunter.bsky.social and playing Diablo IV! Come hang out with us yeah? twitch.tv/cypheroftyr

My rolls in game: low except for the Sicilian Exception. My rolls to determine plot: High with 20s. Go figure. For those who are wondering what the Sicilian Exception is:

Can vouch. Pretty art. Toss coin if you can. And potatoes.

Dusted off the mug warmer while I do some research to upgrade my laptop's SSD. No, I don't plan on installing it myself. I know my limits. #BackstageWithShears

An emergency has come up with Ichi and I have to take him to the ER. I hate asking for funds again, but I want to make sure he’s taken care of—I’m really anxious about it. I’m so sorry, and thank you in advance 🖤

I think the corollary that a lot of people miss about "write what you know" is that *you have the power to know more things.* Research and talking to people are a central part of writing!

Last post of the night, but if you are still shopping for something really nice please consider my friend's shop. She's an amazing quilter and makes amazing things. You like nerd shit? She can make it. You want something that is heirloom quality? She makes that. Can vouch. ko-fi.com/chaosfay/shop

The joys of writing mean researching how much force a human body requires to break a wooden table. Or what pottery sounds like when it hits the floor.

Knowing how craptastic my rolls are with my dice, do I roll them to do a fight scene I'm writing? Yes, I'm asking for thoughts.

#HomeAdventures Update: Holy balls, I organized my home office closet. It's nowhere near what I want it to be, but it's a start.

This is why I pay for the World Wide Web. Because it delivers ART!

Starbucks employees escalated their strike on Black Friday, expanding to 120 stores and 85 cities. Their CEO took home $96 million while refusing to negotiate a living wage for workers. Boycott Starbucks. Stand with the employees. Support local independent coffee shops:

Thanks to LaurenOboe, I'm now googling lav mics for my phone. Those are cool as hell and have been added to my "Pax Prep" list for next year.

It feels really performative at this point, but a reminder that it’s National Day of Mourning for Native folks Relatedly, thousands of Native women are still disappearing and agencies are doing fuck all about it Learn more here: www.niwrc.org/mmiwr-awaren... And here: notournativedaughters.org

Time once again to rep my favorite place for giving: anelder.org - they supply food, firewood and supplies for traditional crafting to Navajo Elders. If you have the cash, please give these folks a hand.

Figuring out how to compress videos reminds me why the heck I didn't go into youtube. No sass at those who do, but holy hell.

🔴Live now! twitch.tv/mentallamia It is time to check out the demo of Greenhearth Necromancer! We will be demoing the game thanks to @silverstringmedia.bsky.social. Then Starting Sanatorium thanks to @shorelinegames.bsky.social

For those who celebrate, Alice's Restaurant is on the radio right now.

Today is Thanksgiving in the US, or National Day of Mourning/"Unthanksgiving Day" for some Native Americans. Wampanoag people shared food with pilgrims in 1621 but were repaid with centuries of genocide. More on Indigenous resistance: shop.workingclasshistory.com/collections/...

Hoping and praying the files I had from PaxU transfer to my laptop. Remind me to clear my phone next time I go. So many photos.

Post-convention blues can hit hard, especially combined with the holiday season ramping up this week. If you were at #PAXU or the ST TREK CHI con, or any other con, read this from @takethis.org www.takethis.org/2017/09/how-...

#HomeAdventures update: Mama Shears and I have moved things around for what we call The Holiday Configuration. Furniture moved, floors swept, and lighting situation tinkered with.

After getting home last night I have proceeded to do nothing today. Good call, I'm sore all over. Laundry will be done in an hour.

If I can ask y'all for some help, please read & just share the following? Medical emergencies + 2yrs of unemployment + debt is a hell of a combo. Any support would be a huge help. So far, through your kindness I've been able to pay off $3k of my $20,000 debt gofund.me/5bfe73dd9

i learned last night that i'm nominated for disabled mod of the year 🥺 whoever threw my name into the ring, you are so kind & i'm honored! this was also a fantastic reminder to myself that neurodivergence & mental health disorders also count as disabilities, which society often tells us otherwise. 🥺

I did not realize how much walking I did today until I finally sat down to stretch. Ooof. #FairlyOddFitness

The fact I got the majority of the baking done in time is nothing short of a miracle. The fact I forgot to pack my toothbrush head but packed the toothbrush body (sonic brush) is on brand for me.

The Bakening has started. To those who I'm friends with going to #PAXU: EXPECT TREATS.
