Saw Stereophonic last night, and came out of it thinking “how tf did this get so many Tony noms (and wins)?” It was long and tedious, the characters were odious and had zero arc, and it was clearly written by someone who thought they were much cleverer than they actually are

Something Discworld and Tolkien, probably

I hate that the weather is still warm enough in November that I’m getting tomatoes from my plants, but I love that I’m still getting tomatoes from my plants

Every time I listen to 真夏の果実 by Southern All Stars I think of my poor Snorri and Mr Squeak and it makes me sad. Truly the song that epitomizes this summer for me youtu.be/8OCvkuxnIuw?...

Leaving London to go home is always so sad (although it will be nice to be back with the pugs)

Went to Word Fantasy Con, then met up with a friend, then saw Garry Starr: Classic Penguins, then got whisky, and now I’m getting 24h bagel sandwiches so I feel I’ve crammed quite a lot into today, actually

This thread 😭❤️

Hearing about the train stabbing in Huntingdon last night and it’s horrifying—I hope all of the victims are okay (also oh boy this does not make me feel good about getting on a train later this morning)

Got about three hours of sleep last night so it’s going to be that kind of day

Ncuti was ill so no signing at the stage door, and this version of Born With Teeth changed the ending line from the line that so struck me when I first saw it, but I have zero regrets

Grocery store sushi and a bottle of wine just hits different in a London hotel #TravelSkeets

Went on a last-minute aurora tour and then headed straight to the airport instead of to bed so I am somewhat delirious, but oh man was it worth it

First my lyft driver earlier this afternoon was driving a cybertruck, and now the hotel lobby is playing Fox News 🤮 #TravelSkeets

I am on hour 10 of this 12 hour train ride and it was very pretty while it was light enough outside to see but I am starting to be ready to not be on a train #TravelSkeets

Men stop being weird when you see a woman at the bar challenge 2025

Okay, trying this again—but not on Alaska this time

This #AlaskaAir outage is killing me, I should have landed at my destination an hour ago and instead I haven’t even left the airport yet

Said goodbye to Snorri, the best boy, tonight

In retrospect, there was a big sign that something was wrong at Khazad-dûm #Tolkien #art

I was hoping that he’d be with me for a little longer, but it’s looking like Friday is the day

It’s looking more and more likely that I’ll be saying goodbye to my best boy before the month is out

Oops my hand slipped and I’m watching This House by James Graham on National Theatre at home, again

Guess it’s One Of Those Days where everything is going wrong, and all I want to do is curl up in bed and cry

Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency

Love seeing a coworker fired for saying something uncomplimentary about recent events/our current administration, that really gives me a lot of confidence in my company and the current political atmosphere

If I win the lottery there will be signs* *more Wheel of Time seasons

Currently obsessed with this live version of 真夏の果実 by Southern All Stars youtu.be/8OCvkuxnIuw?...

Today is one of my favorite days! 12 years ago Bernalillo County was going to issue marriage licenses to Queer couples. The night before, we bought out Trader Joe's Calla Lillys. First thing that morning. Java Joes, grabbed 3 handles of coffee + all the fixing and headed to the court house.

I need to move to go to but but the pugs are coexisting and so I am trapped

This includes the bog-standard Democrat's strategy of trying to pretend like they didn't know about the persecution, the hate crimes, and they're just now waking up to the fact that human rights are universal, and need to be protected for everyone. Do not let them pretend.

This Friday will be four weeks since I had to put Mr Squeak to sleep and I’m still not okay

I’m pretty sure SeaTac Airport consistently has the worst security lines of any airport I’ve traveled through

this this this👇

This panel with GRRM is the epitome of “tell me you don’t read indie published books (or possibly any current books written not by an old white dude)” without telling me you don’t read indie published books 🙄

Guy came up to the bar, ordered a double jameson neat, immediately got a call and said “we’re not boarding yet…ok…ok…I’m on my way” and then downed his jameson in one gulp #AirportStories

Fancy big pickup truck, you honking angrily at me is not going get my old dog to walk across the street any faster (particularly not in this heat)

Goddamn is right

Seeing Ncuti Gatwa live on stage would fix me, I just know it

The little neighborhood girl the pugs and I always see as we’re on dog walk and she and her mother are walking to school drew a picture of Mr Squeak for me because she’s sad, too 💔 #pugtalk

Post a random picture or everything will go bad in August (although honestly I’m not sure if August could get worse than July, random photo or no)

I am officially giving up on this week

Fuck all vets that use an AI assistant to answer the phone, it’s hard enough telling a person that my dog has passed but it’s so much worse to be stuck telling an AI

Even though I still have Snorri and Dumpling, somehow the house is so quiet without Mr Squeak. I miss her.

It’s astonishing how much better my earrings look when I actually clean them (Cleaning tip from my jeweler stepfather: just boil them in water with dish soap for 10-15 minutes. No fancy equipment required)

To these memories I will hold With your blessing I will go To turn at last to paths that lead home And though where the road then takes me I cannot tell We came all this way But now comes the day To bid you farewell

I can’t believe that I’m saying goodbye to my baby, my heart, tomorrow. Mr Squeak, you’ve been the best Problem Child ever.

No cheating post the most recent pic of your pets

RIP the spider that Dumpling was “playing” with, and then ate when I went to see what she was doing, and then spat out, and then ate again when I moved in to remove it (and then repeated that cycle a few more times until I gave up on removing it)

The Japanese word for grey is nezumiiro, or "rat color", which should give you an indication of just how passionate we are about the stuff.
