share your favorite black and white movie

Name change starts today! I'm going to keep this photo and handle for a minute to try and phase out confusion, but this is happening. I am Kestrel now.

Finally tested negative for Covid today. Still feel like garbage, but at this point I think it's mostly because my immune system has terrible aim.

Gotta be real with you, as a member of the generation that really kicked off leaving organized religion in record numbers: If the church wants to be cool and hip and relevant and bring people back into the fold, this is the way.

My fucking smart tv is now begging me to subscribe to a Disney/Hulu/ESPN package. I am laughing in its face while clicking the button to take me to my external drive containing almost 200 movies that I own forever.

You know...I successfully avoided Covid for five years, I did the reading, I got the shots, I knew that my personal risk was higher than normal, and I STILL underestimated how much this was going to suck and for how long. I'm on day 7 of illness, day 5 of Paxlovid, and I'm still knocked down.

I would love to engage with the current moment, but I'm afraid I am currently a lump under a Covid blanket cave, with a soundtrack of "I Want to Get Better" by Bleachers muffled by a pillow.

They ruined clothes, and we let them. It used to just be women's fast fashion, but now even men's jeans are 30% stretchy plastic. Most clothes made now are so bad you might as well order them online and get them shipped straight to the landfill to save time.

Me: I took the normal drugs, I took the Covid drugs, I took the naproxen, I took the sinus spray Orpheus: *slots those things right into "Tubthumping" by Chumbawamba*

I got this in the mail today. On the back, it invites me to a seminar where the antichrist will be revealed. Please join me in looking at the front for a minute. Keep looking.

idk seems risky to force the left into boycotting every media outlet. if you don’t like us now, just wait until we’re bored and focused

I support all of you cancelling your Hulu and Disney subscriptions, but there is a little part of me that's seeing screenshots and thinking "You were paying HOW MUCH? For WHAT?" Cancelling 90% of my subscriptions a few years ago and going back to owning things really has changed my brain.

Day two of Paxlovid: Slept for 12 hours. Bones no longer feel like they're disintegrating. Starting to feel like a human again, instead of a haunted germ factory. Gonna have to say that this stuff works.

The good news is that this is available and the doc supported me in getting it immediately. The bad news is that it does make your mouth taste like a tails-up penny on the floor of the E train.

For the thousandth time in what feels like as many years: Antifa is not an organization. It's literally just opposition to fascism.

In defense of vaping: A microdose of nicotine and a hint of mint are successfully counteracting the weird Paxlovid taste

Just posting something to prove I'm not dead. Don't get Covid, folks. Covid sucks.

I'm seeing a lot of "Don't RSVP for protests" (correct in this environment) but let me add something. There are a few potential purposes of a rally: To get news coverage, to get plugged in to communities, and to get signed up for the next, more practical project. Try to do more than one.

Absolute fucking horrors have led us here, and yet, objectively funny.

My high score for not getting Covid officially ends at 5 years. I'm doing okay. I spiked a fever of 101°f and I feel like I swallowed a cheese grater, but I'm medicating and resting and have contacted my doctor about Paxlovid. And I will not be leaving the house to infect anyone else.

if u see this quote with the energy u bring to blue sky

Idea: Cane with interchangable foot so it can turn into a grabby stick.

Dreamed a bunch of fucked up things ending with me trying to export challah as a pdf. Times like this I wonder if I should donate my brain to science.

Thinking about this today, so I figured I would share it in case there's anyone left on the internet who hasn't seen it. youtu.be/qpUObWf6NYs?...

Welp. Orpheus finally got got by the plague. He should be okay, but in the meantime, the roles are suddenly reversed on who is providing physical aid to whom. I'm a decent nurse, but...cooking. Me cooking is not anyone's idea of a good time. Here's hoping I don't give us both food poisoning.

Seems like a good time to point out that, if Bluesky does choose to eat itself with bad moderation choices, you can premptively forge a second point of contact with me here: eldritch.cafe/@wrrrdnrrrdg...

This same outlet previously posted this:

I resisted buying spooky decorations in the grocery store today. Please clap.

millennials are band directors now and I think that’s terrific

Was trying to identify a nocturnal animal call, and this isn't it, but I am compelled to share it with you. youtu.be/4Owj52XhoxI?...

This is such a funny element to the Kirk eulogizing: they can’t describe him the way they’re describing him *and* show clips of anything he actually said or did

I want to understand people, even the evil ones, which means trying to accept that each human is a complicated mess of meat and electrical signals that probably thinks its doing the right thing. Which gives me mixed feelings about having this stuck in my head. youtu.be/55btGpGsuDo?...

My position, which I recognize is not shared by many people who otherwise aligned with me, is "Americans cannot be trusted with guns. Disarm Americans, cops first, marginalized people last." This considered, it's very hard to think of anything to say today except "I fucking told you so."

New "inexplicable search term spike" just dropped

At least AP had the self-respect to lay out the recent political shootings instead of going oH NO, tHe VioleNCe hAs stArTeD

I just moved a sketchbook and this... slowpoke growlithe?...fell out. I know I did this, but I have no memory of when or why.

Went out tonight. Did not really drink, but I am caffeinated and exhausted and it amounts to roughly the same thing.

I don't really care if the future is short videos. I like words. Words have gotten me this far and I'm gonna stick with 'em for the duration

Green & black is now sold out! Black & silver and grey & black are still available in limited quantities. Also, I have learned to do more fun colors in the future.

Only two green & black ones left, if you're into that sort of thing

Just had a kid yell "WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR KNEE" at me, and mom apologized and told the kid not to be rude. I need to bring this mom with me everywhere so she can chastize all the adults who do it.

Autonomy patches are now available in my ko-fi shop! These are limited editions. I've added them to the online shop because Eleanor (my beloved car) needs winter tires soon, and that means I need to pull together some extra funds. Get 'em while they last.

I know how much y'all love an anime hair day, so here you go. No product. Recently washed. Just 100% free-range organic chaos.

Today I put on a sweater and had a little fire and crocheted part of a blanket and baked a pumpkin thing. It must be fall. Let the spookiness begin.

Welp. Took my car to the shop and the car will not make the concerning noise in front of them. So I guess she was just being dramatic.

I feel like millennials are the first generation with a chance in hell of doing better at this. Please help me be correct. Zoomers, you're even better equipped, because you never had full Facebook brain, so we're counting on you to fully ruin this industry.

I'll say this for rural living; there's always something in the lot you can park next to that'll make your car look good

Today's Medicare spam: Chronic pain? Let's get you a chiropractor.

omg as a pentester PLEASE use one of these! Get them for your entire company. It’ll go great
