Afternoon Update: I now have until tomorrow to raise $710 so I can make the next payment on my rent payment plan; in addition to that I need to get the entire back balance paid off two weeks from today or management will start the eviction process. #MutualAidRequest

Just one favorite off the top of my head: Laura Marling. Even her first album, which she wrote as a teenager, is pure lyrical gold.

That I did one job, and a relatively short one at that, and I feel this exhausted? I don't like it.

Bunsen Honeydew, my eternally patient scientist.

I was talking to my therapist yesterday and trying to explain why I love doing transcription, something she has done and completely hated. I'll just say that I'm transcribing something right now that is exactly what I love about the job - listening to something interesting I might never have heard.

currently the mood rn

Transcribing today, and I'd forgotten how drunk people sound when you slow them down even a little bit.

Lunchtime Update: Still stalled at needing $760 by Friday, 10/10 for the third installment of my rent payment plan. #MutualAidRequest

BE SO BRILLIANT NONE OF YOUR ENEMIES WOULD DARE LOOK AT YOU.

Green Day, The State, Into The Woods, Whose Line Is It Anyway (UK), baking, poetry, Stephen King, ren faires. Yeah. This tracks.

Mood: Indigo Girls, apparently.

Left the apartment today. Went to J's doc appt at the hospital, ate a tiny cup of Dole Whip, got my flu and Covid shots for the year, am eating a concha. An okay day.

Also an important lesson for cis White folks (straight men especially): Your threat of withholding support or allyship means less than nothing to anyone historically marginalized. It's literally the baseline assumption we work from. You're not "showing us," you're just confirming our expectations.

boosting this as i'm very much still in need of help, and my account is uncomfortably low 🫂🙏

Looking for new (to me) music recs. *When you recommend music to people, what's your go-to?* (Any genre, time period, language, etc...)

Re-reading OFMD classics on Ao3, and found myself wondering, are SMAUs still happening? Are there any I should get into? (Non-Twitter, obvs.)

Writing pro-tip: Ed's interest was *piqued* by the perky peaks on Stede Bonnet's chest.

"“We’re not begging for crumbs anymore. We’re demanding what’s rightly ours and share our responsibility to Mother Earth,” Redman said. “We’re asserting our sovereignty. We’re here to give them notice that we have our trade corridor and we’re implementing that.”"

Our birth mother just spoke to us on the phone, and I can't stress enough what a miracle that is.

anyone else just feel like this is their perpetual mood these days

I haven't seen Avatar. Or any Star Wars film or series. Or Sex and the City. That all said, I get many of the references, particularly the SW ones. It amuses me when someone asks how I know them, because that shit pervades culture. They are everywhere.

Bless Brynley Stent on Taskmaster NZ, being asked for a word for what Harry Potter is, and shouting, "TERF!" (Followed by, "Oh, not J.K., Harry... wizard?")

An A+ image.

Honestly he could've saved us all a lot of time if he just went ahead and called her "uppity" like he clearly wants to do. Say it with your whole chest, couchfucker

sorry i can’t hear the horrors over the sound of FRENCHIE FRIDAY 🪕 🎶

And that's why y'all want to cut off the very tip of your nose to spite your entire fucking body.

And who can forget that part in the parable of The Good Samaritan when he asked the guy's immigration status before offering help

there might be a cat in a window tomorrow. you might see it from your car, or walking up the street. it might be sleeping, curled into a perfect loaf.

Keep your doctor's appointments.

I've heard countless folks say "I can't even draw a stick figure" and let me tell you, that squiggly hand-drawn line will always have more heart and expression than any AI art could ever have.

Why is Hegseth cosplaying Patriarchy!Ken, though obsessed with GI Joe instead of horses? Surely, he thinks that film is feminist garbage.

Rest in Peace and Power, Mr. Cain.

I adored Hyacinth Bucket. And loved Hetty Wainthropp Investigates, between her glorious sass and baby Dom Monaghan. What a blessing she was.
