We're raising money for Feeding America RIGHT NOW! And for the rest of the weekend!! Come watch us play games with various degrees of aptitude! www.twitch.tv/4score7pongs 🎮

So uh...some people might be aware of the fact that when they made a girl version of Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life, they just kinda had to pick from the dudes who were already there for the bachelors, none of them were designed with women in mind AND I FORGOT THE MANUAL JUST FUCKING SAYS THIS??

Moving On.

Home #witchhatatelier

Signed up for one of our apartment complex's raised garden beds. Gonna finally dabble IRL in the Harvest Moon lifestyle 👩‍🌾

I know therapy (the worksheets and reading and skill practice) actually works because 2 years ago I was having panic attacks because I procrastinated doing my taxes (as I did every year), but this year I had them done in February and haven't thought about them since.

"Read the Farseer Trilogy" they said! "Robin Hobb writes incredible fantasy" they said! I have never been so stressed out by a series in my life and I have read Game of Thrones.

Being into cats feels so debasing. You give everything over to this animal — time, labor, money — but when you want them to sit next to you, they refuse and jump away. When they finally sit on your lap, you sit motionless to the point of physical pain, afraid to disturb them. Humiliating.

i think sometimes cis people truly have a hard time understanding that jk rowling is a living person actively using her wealth to fund the international assault on trans lives. she’s not some Complicated Author we can have a spirited debate about separating from the art with!!!!!

Celebrated the spring equinox by remembering to water all my plants *WITH FERTILIZER* before going to work 🌼🌿

Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.

Meal-Morial Madness 2026 is a go!

Did you know that you can just get Nutella, marshmallow fluff, and graham crackers and have yourself a little bowl of s'mores dip whenever you want?

It never ceases to confound me just how many folks think the point of essays is to provide teachers with essays. That teachers just like, collect them, or need them for sustenance or something. Rather than the point of them being the *actual fucking act of learning how to think about shit*

Might be a good time to remember that each of us is profoundly annoying to someone.

The people most in need of understanding this will not understand it, but regardless: The inhumanity you show toward others does not dehumanize them, it dehumanizes yourself. The degradation you're trying to inflict on others, is actually you just degrading yourself.

Looking back on 2025 and the question I am left pondering on NYE is "What the actual fuck was that?" A truly emotionally baffling year. Hope 2026 is gentle with all of us since 2025 certainly wasn't!

I'm live on Twitch if you wanna hear my cat scream like he's neglected! www.twitch.tv/abookwitch 🐱

The end of year final boss isn't getting through the last couple weeks of work, it's coordinating the multi-household holiday plans when your parents are divorced, you and your partner's families live in different corners of the state, and you need a pet sitter for your chronically ill cat. 🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

For the past 2 or 3 days, Dipp refused to eat his wet food breakfast unless it was brought to him in bed. Today? He tried to BURY IT IN OUR BLANKETS, but when I brought it out to his dining spot in the living room he ate the whole thing 🫠 Why do cats make so little sense 😭

every few years it's revealed that the NYT was sitting on information about some horrific thing that public knowledge of would have changed the country's course and for some reason a ton of people still give them money. you can play those games on other sites

Took Dipp to the vet because he's been limping and after xrays he's been diagnosed with WIGGLY KNEECAPS.

“I’m sure you’re aware of our connections with the Trump Administration,” the North Carolina Republican Party's communications director wrote in an email response to us. “I would strongly suggest dropping this story.” We didn't. Read the story that he wanted dropped:

Honestly it's a good thing there's no negative psychological consequences to everything being casinos and upsells everywhere you look, all the time, in all of society

I know every year has so much loss and suffering, but this year is feeling extremely brutal and seems to be impacting myself and my close circles harder than other years. It’s not fair, it’ll never be fair, and I wish that everyone could just have a fucking break and a moment to breathe.

It has been 0 days since the vet jokingly offered me a job because I am well-informed and proactive about my pet's medical conditions (this should be the norm for both human and animal health literacy).

Both of my Libby holds on T. Kingfisher's new horror books becoming available in October? Hemlock & Silver being the perfect creepy appetizer for the season?? What Stalks the Deep beginning on a "brisk October morning," which we had today??? Could not have timed these holds better if I'd tried! 👻📚

I suspect the MAGA government decided to launch all these Bluesky accounts tonight to try to bait people in advance of No Kings. These people have incurable 4chan brain and this is how they operate. Block them. Do not engage. Do not give them what they want.

The thing that should worry the regime is that the librarians have somehow become MORE radicalized than they already were

They're playing TWICE in the World Market. Unfortunately, I am the target audience for everything in this store.

Besties are #cat sitting while we're away and the photo/video updates are keeping my anxious brain sane. He is apparently being a total angel for them about taking his hidden-in-food meds, which is the opposite of how he acted all week while we tried to get him used to taking them that way 🥲

look ai is completely destroying the world with massive pollution and is using up water at a concerning rate but at least you get to use technology that lies to you and is the primary propaganda mechanism by fascists

I want to love "cozy fantasy" and "romantasy" and they seem like lit subgenres I WOULD love, but unfortunately almost every book I've read that's marketed under those subgenres I've found to contain underdeveloped worldbuilding/plots and mostly insufferable characters 🫠

Trying to dust and vacuum before putting out the fall/Halloween decor but my allergies are protesting and Dipp starts screaming the second I stop giving him my undivided attention. I just wanna put out the pumpkins 🎃

I resisted ordering food delivery at work after poorly budgeting my time and not packing a lunch. Please clap.

They built this technology with this use case in mind.

Dipp when only one of us (or a stranger) administers his meds: feral, terrified, willing to commit atrocities to get away 👿🔪🩸 Dipp when we give him his meds together: sweet baby, perfect angel, patron saint of tolerating yucky medicine 😇💊✨️

Kill recreational nihilism — wherever it comes from, whatever ideological mask it happens to be wearing. Do not engage in it. Do not indulge it. It makes you weak and it makes you stupid. If you haven't found meaning in something, don't make the void you have chosen everyone else's problem.

The horrors persist, but so does soup 🥣

Feeling very besieged lately! My usually endless stores of optimistic whim have been depleted! Feeling kinda assailed by comprehensible man-made horrors! There is a chink in the armor of my silliness and life exploits it! My cup no longer runneth over, which bodes ill for me, indeed! Alas, we ball!
