📚💙 Finished reading Tender is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterrica and

I want fully staffed public pools, and libraries that are cathedrals to public goods and a society where walling yourself off with money is viewed as sociopathic.

i also feel this way about my work!! i put all kinds of Stuff and Work and Thought into it, but at the end of the day i also want it to be fun for teenagers who aren't quite ready to dive that deep. moreover: anybody who treats comic writers as the sole creators is limited to "a quick breakfast"

Seems deeply unfair that the holter monitor has a little display that will show you how your heart is doing BUT it only works if you press the "something is wrong" button, which youre not supposed to do I want to watch! Let me see what's happening in there!

Why Do Some People Still Wear Masks In 2026 And On A Completely Unrelated Note Why Is Everyone In The Office Sick Right Now Apart From The Guy In The Mask?

Sorry for the lack of activity it’s literally just this

Hard to not go fucking insane in a world where they behave like fiction can hurt you while literally bombing schools. Hope all of these fascist fucks take a very long walk off of a very short pier.

Sometimes you want to lure your nemesis into the catacombs for a perfectly innocent reason. Everyone's so paranoid these days

Good night, everyone

Rare #NEISvoid win: Basic blood test came back showing everything was fine and instead of that being the end of it my GP is sending me for a bunch more tests

Anyways.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

Finally finishing the ravenloft map I started five years ago and abandoned and I'd like to have a word with 2021 me about her design decisions Did we really need to draw every tree in the forest? Did we???

Me: "Alright, since I had to spend this time lying down, might as well start reading through the campaign to prep" The cat: "no"

We're about to figure out which artists can and cannot draw horses 👀🐴

I will never understand the fascination with coal. who are you, thomas the tank engine?

please give us more personal data please please please please c’mon you’re being so mean dude. we only got breached like three times. we’re NOT going to sell it man please please please plus its for like safety? so you’re the one who looks stupid right now come on pleaaaaaase just one data point bro

so much clothing is marketed as "conversation starters" but as an introvert, i want "conversation enders." no more talking. let me go home.

Sitting a stewing in frustration isn't nearly as cathartic as just designing a poster. Let's see how often I remember that in 2026.

Oh sure let’s match those symbols to the ones on the pillar. That’s your answer to everything.

I avoided it for long enough... today the thrift store decrees I *will* be reading Gideon the Ninth

A cauldron is actually a very practical kitchenware item if you're ok with people making certain assumptions about you

Discord wants to know how you feel about AI. Go tell them: discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Summer lovin' Had me a blast (Fires aren't nearby, just the smoke)

It is 40 degrees (celsius) and my cat will not stop trying to sleep on the sill of a window that gets full afternoon sun Why does she want to be baked like a focaccia so bad???

Let me carry every item I find. I need them. For stuff

Chasing mayak gyeran with mint brownies was... not an experience I recommend

The Works of Vermin by @hironennes.bsky.social Finished it, went "how did I not realise???" and then immediately read it again It was even better the second time, getting to really enjoy all the world building and see just how well everything is put together. I am absolutely feral about it

So the storygraph wrap up cover collage doesn't quite work if you've read too much. Unless you really like scrolling 📚💙

The library finally got the next two murderbot books back on the ebook app, happy new year to me 📚💙

Saw someone talk about materials literacy and I can’t stop thinking about it. Its the thing that has made people believe all tshirts are the same and should be $5

Accidentally read twenty books this month so I forced myself to go play a video game instead, which feels a bit backwards

Good news everyone, I have found my old cd wallet full of albums I burned as a teen Bad news, my copy of I Brought You My Bullets is absolutely scratched to hell and now sounds like a bad dance remix

So I'm gonna go out on a limb and say one of my neighbours got an electric guitar for christmas

It feels deeply unfair that I cannot read a book and do a second activity at the same time. Let me second screen a novel! (Yes I know audiobooks exist. They do nothing for me)

Australians - there is a survey here from Sweltering Cities, with questions about coping in heatwaves. There are some specific questions for those dealing with chronic illness and/or disability. It doesn't take too long to do. swelteringcities.org #AusPol #NEISVoid #ME/CFS #LongCovid #Disability

The Works of Vermin is a strong contender for my favourite book this year, but definitely my favourite acknowledgements

*tries to answer the phone casually like this is something i do all the time* <red tailed hawk screech>

Surprise

Aggressively picking out the perfect gifts for loved ones. That's right fucko. It's incredible. I looked within your soul and saw what it would take to temporarily fill the emptiness that exists at your core. You can softly weep if you'd like.

My body is acting a little ungrateful given all the treats I’ve been feeding it

When life gives you lemons (a broken door and a replacement with no safety decals) you make infernal lemonade

One foot was quite uncomfortable walking around so I checked to remove what I assumed would be a small pebble only to find a fair bit of blood, and after digging around with tweezers... glass 🙃

At a point with my reading where it's possible for me to finish 100 books this year, which thanks to the gremlins which run my brain, means I will now have to do that

i don't want to have to second guess if every image is ai!! i don't want to edit with ai!! i don't wait to generate anything!!!! i don't want to talk to an ai chatbot!!! go away omg

Would like to have a word with me of three hours ago, who decided against halving the monkey bread recipe knowing full well that I and I alone would be eating it There's just... so much sugary bread now

Love this so much. 💜

Bloodywood and Babymetal are touring together next year and chances of me being well enough to go are basically zero and I'm handling it sooooo well you guys

Unfortunately I cannot love GDT's Frankenstein bc it doesn't feature my favourite scene from the book: victor running from his lab in terror at what hes created, coming back hours later and upon seeing it's gone, going "phew, thank god thats over, there will definitely be no consequences to this"
