Cried during dinner tonight because I made my first risotto that I would genuinely consider good, after 23 years of working on it. It's the dish that actually convinced me I wanted to learn to cook when I was a kid and, oddly, that inspiring moment also happened full circle back here in Montréal.

Some friends tell us they'll be coming by the house in 20 minutes. Fifteen minutes later we get a knock at our door. I meow loudly as I open the door, thinking it is them. It is actually our property manager, who looks deeply confused at my greeting. This is fine. 😹

Can really never make too much confit garlic, honestly.

Know that age verification service used by VRC and Discord and ChatGPT that claims they don't use your info and ID for anything but age verification? Yeah, they got caught doing *way* more than that with all your info. www.malwarebytes.com/blog/news/20... Never. Trust. A. Corpo.

I'm doing it. I'm actually going to take a few hours and play a game and have a bath and play more game and eat chocolate and stop working or doing chores or fretting.

If you watch nothing else of the Olympics, watch this beautiful woman joyously drop an F-bomb on live international TV with a hair flip and a smile. www.youtube.com/watch?v=us_L...

Watched someone vibe code for the first time today. I've never been so underwhelmed. I've never been so certain that my job isn't going to be at risk any time soon.

in Light Dimension for the 3yr celebration dancing and surrounded by so many loves, many of them performing, while cooking dinner for two of them IRL with a cat purring at my feet and a glass of champagne. life is fluffing beautiful. 💜✨

So Discord is going to use the same ID verifier as VRC? You mean "Persona", which is just a shell company for Paravision which was a rename of Everalbum, the company which infamously got nailed by the DoJ for retaining IDs until they struck a deal with Five Eyes, a literal spy agency? FUCK NO.

Working a 9-to-5 . . . except the 9 is eastern time and the 5 is pacific. 🥱

Discord Nitro cancelled. I don't want to prove my age to you. I don't want you to track me with AI to guess my age. I want a place where people make their own decisions about the content they exchange. If that's not what you're offering I'll go elsewhere. The Internet is for people, not corpos.

And this is why everyone with a security background will tell you never to use identity / age verification!

Two burly, overpaid movers: "we can't move this, we'll need specialized tools to dismantle it." Two highly motivated fox girls with sharp objects: "we dismantled it and moved it in the time it took you to go to your truck for paperwork." Fear and respect the impatient lesbian fox girls.

je suis fatigué. je suis fat y gay. :3

"Si tu veux faire du nudisme, c'est pas le temps mettons." is my out-of-context quote of the month, by far.

I gotta hand it to Air Canada, a 25 hour itinerary for one that is normally 5 hours is *impressively* bad.

It entertains me a lot that 30+ years later I still have the ability to get random babies to stop crying if I make eye contact with them. Once a mom always a mom.

You ever just watch a new Veritassium video and find yourself wanting to cry or on the edge of your seat or cheering for historical figures? Yeah, me, too.

the real friends are the ones who will drop everything to bring you a giant bottle of extra strength acetaminophen when you are writhing in pain on awWednesday night. about to take these by the fistful.

today is my first time home alone for more than a few hours in like two months. it is completely unsettling. I've always known I'm a little happier cohabiting, but I hadn't realized quite how strong my nesting instinct has become. 🥹

month long experiment of having 4-6 girls live in my 1 bedroom apartment is done. I've learnt: - bottles of conditioner smaller than 32oz last about 5 minutes - procurement of caffeinated beverages is a full time logistics supply job - a vacuum cleaner without automatic hair removal is useless. XD

loud meowing on the plane home from MAGFest and I'm not sure if it is a sad cat girl or an actual cat. 😹

okay, but being at the rail for fluffing @silentvj.bsky.social and @donutshoes.bsky.social was the absolute peak of MAGFest this year.

holy fluff, @faithintheglitch.bsky.social with the cyberpunk flip of Clair Obscur. I love MAGFest so much.

as a classical guitarist, there is something weirdly satisfying about live metal concerts, just seeing someone use the same instrument and theory in such a weirdly, wonderfully different way.

"3am secret cheese party" is one of the most hype phrases in any language. 🧀

Dear DJs, I have one request: pick a tempo. Please. 🥺

Karaoke in front of several thousand people and someone sings a Clair Obscur song. Fluffing *respect*.

new illogical but powerful dysphoria source unlocked: seeing people do crossplay. if my brain could shut up and mind her own business that would be great.

Rebeca Sugar live at MAGFest was the pleasant surprise of the year by a lot. Just the way she *exists* is a testament to how powerful her art is. 💕

the girls at the nail salon all ganging up on me about how ticklish I am when I get a pedicure. 😭

"four girls, one pint." - Fwae Ice cream, my beloved.

K-On: "we ate cake instead of practicing and we're no good, but we have fun!" Girls Band Cry: "we had no cake and we're all grumpy but really good on stage." Bocchi: "Autism, The Musical."

"At her words, a whole future expanded like a pool ripple in Em's mind, so fresh and so huge that she couldn't breathe." I love when an author perfectly captures the most ineffable feeling.

We all knew that Americans elected a might-makes-right nutbag; what should surprise and anger us is that our spineless Congress refuses to check-and-balance him. Contact your reps, yo.

Continuing our ridiculous re-watch of Shokugeki tonight. Got to the burger arc, paused and went out for burgers and made them fancy. Got to the ramen arc, paused and made ridiculous umami broth. And we're doing this on almost every episode. 👩‍🍳

It's been a few decades, but I am finally starting to look forward to each new year. I never thought it would happen, but it turns out, the secret was patiently waiting for the right people to build a life with. If you are in my world, you're one of them. 💜

Happiness is not being able to get into the rave, but they're such nerds they stream it and you can jam to the who @grazcore.com set live anyways.

Fate is when you watch the karaage arc of Shokugeki, the best fried chicken place is closed for repairs, but then the izakaya has not one but six versions on the menu as a special. So happy.

me: starting to feel good about my guitar playing. me: rediscovers Rodrigo y Gabriella. me: "oh fuck, I have so far to go." time to go practice!

It blows my mind that we're living through a 3rd golden age of trance and progressive and the number of people who know or care is so small. But it's a cozy sort of thing, which I'm okay with.

Heads up to artists still using Twitter- Twitter is now adding an "Edit image" button under all images posted on the site that allows everyone to feed it into genAI and modify it as they wish with a prompt

Getting to unironically say, "I'm looking for my contact" when the bar/café owner asks if you need something else.

"They thought they had to worry about drug addicts, but they didn't know about cheese lesbians."

lounging on the sofa with red wine and strawberries while soaking up compersion by watching your loves get attended to by someone more dominant? peak. 💜

ABGT 700 ABGT 700 ABGT 700 ABGT 700 ABGT 700 aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa~ 💕💜💕

Today I Learned that the voice actor for both Maelle and Shadowheart is a lesbian and neurodivergent. Powerful. >:3c

Making my 8th and final international trip of the year. What an unbelievable journey 2025 has been. I'd barely have believed this life as fiction before I started living it, there's so much love in it.

without downloading any new photos what's it like to date you

It's good luck when the bagel place has a really good special and they play Massive Attack on the stereo and accidentally make your latte twice.
