The overwhelming urge to move specific romantasy books vs the possibility of someone knowing the absolute trash I’m still reading

So the big problem with cybersecurity as an individual is that the people leaking your personal information are your school, your bank, and your boss.

Tired : wearing layers Wired: changing pants 5 times a day

So I’m reading some popular book, And protag has curly red hair ok sure But like Brushing curly hair to ‘tame’ it? 🙄 Ohhhkaaay

Truly I know I’ve given up when I call them jira instead of tickets

Coining this term and you can’t convince me I’m not Careslop See also: corporate careslop (most “you can do it even when it’s hard” bullshit fake reflective posts on LinkedIn) I just wanted to see if I had worked with someone before I didn’t want the corporate careslop feed

Remembering watching the same few episodes of sailor moon on whatever cartoon channel And just truly hating chibiusa

The Nashville hot chicken in Seattle is incorrect so far Also on bainbridge Spicier! Messier! More brown sugar!

Playing Fortnite because you know, I work here now And I feel blessed to have coincidentally years ago picked up a thicc character from a previous job time adjacent to epic because I can’t find anyone like mechanist Mina anymore

Discworld QOTD, from Guards! Guards!

Thunder in Seattle Immediately someone is out in the park playing song of storms on an ocarina-sounding instrument I really enjoy being the age of nostalgic pop culture and will miss this time when it’s gone if I don’t keep up with the pop.

[sighing] it does matter whether the writing in a video game is good or bad

Lately more and more conflicted around working at “games as a service” companies. They’re all in on ai as well :S If there’s a studio out there for me making a game that’s not Big Online… well. An enby can dream. Imagine shipping something and then eventually you go ship something else

My goodness, video game industry. (I’m fine on my Fort, night! team. this time)

Having to use AI at work is pretty meh I hate the externalities Deity save us all from the live service slop universe we’re trapped in (but it pays more)

Yearly reminder that Paying to have your taxes done is a scam by TurboTax and intuit who lobby the govt to keep shit complicated The irs provides a list of organizations that file and do a lot of the work for you, for free Watch the upsells though

In miraculous news I found another pair of no-waist-gap jeans off the rack when my last ones just died on me Tailoring is great and all but a decent fit right away is better

Small joys Licking off the yogurt lid Ice water in winter the as soon as you start to warm up Sleepy kitten stolen tummy pets

2.5 litter machine downsides 1 hard to check on digestive health when evidence is whisked away 2 empty the bag/drawer day is vile. So vile. We open all the windows. 2.5 cat is long /large and machine potty area is small. Mars may never learn to put his front paws towards the outside.

I like long walks on the beach after you try to get me to go outside for an hour and I keep refusing because I am cozy and it’s too bright outside

Things I had to fight my adhd to do so far today Pt routine Call parent Unemployment paperwork(although that should be over now until who knows when) Cast on a second sock for a pair 🧶 Start lunch I feel I’ve done far more than a full workday, since “go to work” feels like just one thing.

Age verification? I remember when the first Leisure Suit Larry asked you a bunch of questions at the start and booted you out if you didn't know the answers, because only an adult would know them

If I had not known who won the superbowl I would now Certainly a lot of hoots happening

One (of many) weakness Japanese salad dressing

My mantra for the eternal sweater of lace suffering (not the actual name of the pattern): This whole thing is way less stitches than a sock This whole thing is way less stitches than a sock

I see lines at ramen shops so often and it’s baffling that a 20 person line at a shop seating 60 people has an hour wait Like Seattle I’m sorry but eating ramen for more than 20 minutes ain’t it - the noodles get soggy at some point no matter how firm you order them

The game Flotsam is as cute as I hoped it would be when I wish listed it years ago. This is what I wanted to play.

Watching the 3 body problem and an old game was mentioned and yall should know if you didn’t already that strip poker on the commodore 64(although we had a 128 and a cartridge for 64 compare) Was real

I should probably play caves of qud right?

Where does one anonymously journalblog these days? I guess I could just ao3 a bunch of thoughts but I don’t want to do that to my fic readers, who would be looking for lewd Redacted after an 8 year hiatus.

Did you know that for five bucks a month you get access to the PBS passport streaming app which has tons of incredibly good shows and documentaries and things and it helps support their funding?

Ok sure

Often for the new year I do make a little list and remind myself of things like Be kinder Cardio Vegetables This year in my unwillingly unemployed state the winter holiday liminal timespace has just extended backward into mid October, when I found out the project I was on would end.
