Time to deliver a smile with @lasagnalove.bsky.social Happy Friday! <3

Celebrated my promotion with a triple feature consisting of The Giant Gilla Monster, Killer Shrews, and The Manster as presented by @therealelvira.bsky.social . What a perfect evening many thanks to Ms. Peterson and crew.

@lasagnalove.bsky.social it’s that time again!

Nearly every sound I think reprehends some real thing was created by a foley artist working for Mel Blanc or Hannah Barbara. The thing is I’m not wrong because 4 generations of engineers agree with me and now reality does in fact sound like a cartoon. Take the joy where you can get it.

Another weekend cooking up some love for @lasagnalove.bsky.social . About to drop this off to a hungry neighbor.

It is still too hot but I can’t take it anymore, had to dress up anyway.

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you joy and happiness

Stop chasing. Not because you want to, or feel like you should. Stop chasing because there is nothing to find, to fix, to conquer. Stay in the discomfort, stay in the joy, feel the freedom of accepting no one is coming to save you, because you don't need to be saved. Some thoughts I had today.

A new weekend and a new lasagna out to a family in need of some kindness. Keeping up the Lasagna Love @lasagnalove.bsky.social

@lasagnalove.bsky.social A friend of mine made little Garfield labels for my lasagna drops. Dropping off lasagna #3 today. :)

"There is a lot of cultural hubris going on around here." - Terrance McKenna Now that is a mouthful, even completely out of context.

Keep on fighting. youtu.be/rt8CU9agvU0?...

The give me your poor, your tired, your huddled masses yearning to be free, and I shall bash their bodies against the rocks leaving only tears where hope once stood bill passed. Rump is expected to sign it into law tomorrow.

The facility in Florida is a concentration camp. Call it whatever you want. It is a semi outdoor camp where people are going to die. It is not the first nor will it be the last. Cruelty is the point.

daily reminder for blue state people that Ohio is not some 'flyover' state of exclusively bigots, it's one of the most populous states in the US and there are a ton of trans communities here suffering under an oppressive government, most of which are impoverished and cannot simply move.

Enemy of MAGA? Explain your dismissive stance

I sent out an urgent newsletter about Ohio's House Bill 96. I wanted to reach as many people as possible, so I figured this would be a good idea even though it's not usually what my newsletters are about. I truly hope raising the alarm does something. shaneblackheart.beehiiv.com/p/ohio-house...

A very scary bill just passed in Ohio for transgender folks. No one but local LGBTQ+ orgs are talking about it. First, Ohio is only recognizing sex assigned at birth, male or female. You can get in trouble for stating otherwise on documents, I imagine. I may need to change my state ID back. 1/5

Some more very important points about Ohio House Bill 96 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Someone told me that many neurodiverse folks don’t fall asleep so much as pass out when their brains have no choice but to throw in the towel. As I am for the 13,509th time failing to fall asleep and instead slowly sinking into dread the phrase that comes to mind is “I resemble that remark.”

May all beings experience justice and the root of justice. May all beings experience peace and the root of peace. May all beings experience joy and the root of joy. A threefold prayer based on the work of Thich Nhat Hanh that is my refuge when I don’t have control. Pray, act, repeat.

I'm old enough to remember the last time a U.S. president said that bombing the Middle East would make us safer. It didn't then and it won't now. People just like you and me are dying for the egos of old men. My heart aches for the lives lost and the livings destroyed. What a nightmare.

Very happy with this photo. #photography #cars #camaro

It is a cold, rainy day, just like I like it. It is still the solstice, though, and behind the clouds the sun is shining brightly. Sunni pulsates, powerful and unforgettable, even when covered by smaller things that only seem larger because they are closer to me in time and space.

Listening to the latest Late w/ @taffetav.bsky.social. Combines my favorite radio show with one of my fav topics. I don’t think aliens are from space or physical in the normal sense for that matter. I do believe the Phenomenon is real though. Wonder is my spice of life, and kindness is its point.

Happy Summer Solstice Eve. Blessed Alban Hefin, and a beautiful Litha to you all. There is much work to do. May the sun give us the fire to push through. youtu.be/mr1CM_yw68c?...

#ValhallaCoffee in #Tacoma makes for happy me.

Happy #WorldGothDay! I was all dressed up for a show this past weekend to celebrate. It was fun. I hope you are having a spooky day. 🖤🦇

I got to run a #WoD (Chronicles) one shot this past weekend. Why were the cellphones not working? Why, because the entire adventure took place in abandoned sections of the NYC subway system, of course. Such a pleasure. Happy #WorldGothDay

Small new blog post magickmouse.neocities.org/blogPosts/cr...

Narrator: "all the way back in 2018" me: 2018, what do you mean all the wa-- me: Considers the last 7 years... *sigh*, carry on.

Good morning internet. The weather in Tacoma today is lightly grey with tapering rain. My mind is jumping back and forth between missing David Lynch and wondering how much I need to pull back socially as we move into summer Covid season.

What is the reason for insomnia again? Maybe I’m just lucky. Goodnight internet.

Yeah, this. It’s also scary most times. We do what me must; and whistle when we can while doing it. Stay strong fellow spoonies.

If we could admit the following, it would save many lives: COVID is airborne COVID is not over COVID is a social justice issue & everyone deserves access to vaccines, respirators and clean air COVID can impact everyone, not “only the vulnerable” Lastly, the “vulnerable” deserve protection too

Dyed my hair and got a fancy thrifted hat. Getting ready for the World Goth Day show tomorrow in #Tacoma. I wear the bat cardigan year round but it does fit here.

I am going to this on Saturday. I am really looking forward to getting all dressed up and hearing some live music. If you are in the Tacoma area and enjoy a bat corsage, a driving synth beat, or perhaps a Lacey black shawl, I’d love to see you there. www.realarttacoma.com/calendar/wgd3

It’s been a busy week. I am finally getting to listen to part of Late with @taffetav.bsky.social with breakfast. My partner and I talk about how the cringe narrative is toxic all the time. Joy in the face of tyranny is resistance. Happy birthday T. Thanks for sharing your earnestness with us.

This video feels like an expansion of ideas suggested by Han several years ago now. It is a post lockdown contribution to a topic that is so important to so many of us - office culture. It is about power, not efficiency. I hope you will check it out. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhD6...

If you’ve had a lost week…or month…that’s okay. Pick yourself up. Spit out that mouthful of black, way too viscous/writhing blood. Smile as it sluices through your cracked teeth and down your chin. Let tomorrow know it has fucked up and had better go warn the rest of the month.

Everyone talks about Keel's Mothman but you hardly ever hear about Satyr-Man.

I found the homework album on YouTube mentioned at the end of the episode. Fantastic episode to all involved. Thanks for the work y’all do. youtu.be/70mBAP2W-xM?...

The weather was very much to my preference yesterday and seems to be today as well. I am grateful for the good bits and am determined to mention them when I can.

Bumping for the night crowd:

I used to teach progressive sex ed and one of the things we thought was important is if you couldn't say the words penis and vagina without giggling, you probably weren't ready to have a serious question about consent and needed to pump the brakes.

If you see this, post the most recent photo of yourself from your camera roll. No cheating!
