The livestream has started! Fundraising for my son's service dog. twitch.tv/bapperson

Info for my upcoming 12-hour fundraising stream on Saturday. I appreciate the support everyone has given!

We are getting our son an autism service dog, trained to meet his needs. I'll do at least 1 fundraising stream (tentatively Dec 27, depending on surgery). We also plan to do some other fundraisers. Any and all support is great - donating or sharing with others. secure.qgiv.com/event/4pawsf...

It has really sucked that my state has enacted laws leading to being unable to access bluesky. This is the first time in a while I've been here and missed hearing from so many friends! I had my second twitch stream last night and it was pretty chill. It's been fun and I hope to keep going.

Question from Bappergirl - Do any of my art friends "have a good infinity canvas for digital art"? I'm guessing she means an app with ability to have infinite canvas size? Prefer android, followed by Windows, then we do have the option of IOS but not as easily.

Just got the trolley hooked up with controls and lights, everything is finally done. Couple years ago my daughter and I started buying and putting together Christmas Lego sets. We add to it each year, but this year some delays meant it wasn't complete until now.

Happy birthday to friend @supposedlyleo.bsky.social ! ❤️❤️

I've spent most of my free time lately doing re-renovation and I'm so tired of it. Getting through lots of YouTube and podcasts. Trying to make some tiktoks of my work but there's only so many times I can have slow progress. Okay, I've let y'all know I'm still around so I'll head back to working.

Been way too busy lately. Lots of normal stuff (work, daughter's brazilian jiu jitsu classes, etc) but also a lot of working around the house. Figuring out drywall, making a new doorway, learning electrical, and on and on. Feeling pretty accomplished but ready for some free time again...

does the wsj editorial board just keep a list of crimes they regularly commit on hand or

My first choice is always monk, then I usually bounce between cleric and druid depending on the circumstance. Not surprised at Paladin, though.

Been unintentionally avoiding social media lately. But got to missing GeeklyCon friends so much I started having crazy dreams, including a Geekly-on-Geekly murder mid-flight to GC. So that was weird.

Finally finished Tears of the Kingdom the other day. Now back to work on finishing Super Mario Wonder. Then I can finally start back on the old favorite of Super Mario RPG (and ignoring a ton of other games).

Not what I planned to get from an estate sale, but here we are...

Happy birthday to my friend, @supposedlyleo.bsky.social!!!

Hellohello wee gems ✨ it seems I'm low on funds, and currently working through my commission queue, so am unable to take on more at the moment, but here is my ko-fi for anyone who'd like to help out a wee small and struggling artist this holiday season 💖 ko-fi.com/jennpeig

Chocolate is a block that come from a bean therefore chocolate is tofu I will not be taking questions at this time.

At least for my personal experience...this feels too real. A lot for me to think about. www.tiktok.com/t/ZPRvUMuyb/

Trying to find a good Himiko Toga merch for Bappergirl and not loving any I see so far. But at least there are options...the Rukia Kuchiki merch is pretty sparse. Especially trying to avoid risking international shipping unless necessary.

Got my vote done.

Bappergirl is NO HELP with Christmas gift ideas. I did think she may like anime-relatee stuff but having trouble deciding what. Her favorites are Demon Slayer and MHA, followed by Inuyasha. Hmm.

Trying to decide if taking a nap during my lunch break everyday is a bad sign or just fine.

Now we know what happens to Halloween candy... www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8MsQmVT/

Not me sitting here wide awake after waking up from a long, involved, emotionally-charged dream that leaves me feeling devastated in real life.

Ooh, now this seems like an interesting question.

Bappergirl is still raising funds - cancer charity benefit tournament is in 1.5 weeks so there is still time. We appreciate everyone who has donated or shared. FYI if you missed it, the results of her tests/surgery point to a rare autoimmune disease rather than cancer. Overall a good answer.

So...did they use elk as the blueprint for dinosaur sounds in Jurassic Park? I can't imagine hearing this pop up in middle of town. www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8jaeWe9/

Been a long summer with so much going on, but feels like we're finally nearing the end. A big bright spot has been Bapperboy recently learning to swim independently. All the stories and TikToks of autistic children drowning have had us worried for years. Now 5 years of 1-1 lessons has succeeded.

Just a reminder about this! Plenty of time and no rush on our end. Bappergirl is getting ready for this cancer charity jiu Jitsu tournament!

Thank you to everyone who has donated, liked, or shared! Bappergirl met her minimum goal really quickly and there is still plenty of time before the tournament.

As soon as Bappergirl was cleared following surgery, she was talking about jiu jitsu and this tournament! She is raising funds for this Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu cancer charity and taking part in a tournament next month. If you want to support her: https://wecan.tapcancerout.org/AlexaApperson

📢 Version 1.44 is now rolling out! • Self-labeling is here! (Open this thread for more info.) • Profiles now have a “Media” tab for viewing posts with pics. • Blocked quote posts now give more information.

Two....okay, three (currently) videos that make me feel seen. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8NVFBCa/

I was in Huntsville recently and met Sprocket, mascot of the Rocket City Trash Pandas. Fun game to watch and may be one of best mascots/logos/team names ever? Wish I was closer to see them again.

There's a foot curse going around. In a week and a half, Bapperwife, Bapperpup, and Bapperkitty have all injured a foot in separate incidents. In that same time period, a close friend and her son are both now in those supporting/immobilizing boots for their feet.

Not especially looking forward to today. My entire electrical panel is being replaced (do to June storm damage) so I expect to be without power for 5-6 hours. I'll try and manage work, but it will be 100 F outside today (with heat index much higher). So...ugh.

Someone told me that this app may seem very empty because of this default setting that requires replies to have 2 likes or more before they show up. Indeed! I changed it so that all replies show up, and suddenly the place seems much more lively. I highly recommend changing it in your settings.

I have a new obsession, I guess? I've been watching lots of reaction videos, especially of people's first-time hearing 'The Devil Went Down To Georgia' or 'Goodbye Earl'.

Now that Bappergirl finished My Love Story, she elected to try Yu Yu Hakusho next. I forgot how slow it started out - I think she'll manage but first couple episodes had her not very interested.

"What's the oldest photo you have saved on your phone?" Me circa...1992, votes class scholar for the yearbook?

One of the more unusual "who searched you on LinkedIn" I've had.

Despite not being able to do any demonstrations (due to her clavicle surgery two weeks ago), Bappergirl did earn her third stripe in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu last night. She's super committed to it, now if only half her classes weren't on the other side of the city...

After avoiding Twitter so much, I'm still trying to figure out getting back into actually interacting on social media 🥴
