...I shan't be complaining about never being surprised, I suppose.

...what are we even doing right now.

Hi, I'm a d6.

This is what compelled me to get the game 'Midnight Walk.' I've never played a game that had me studying every single thing in such a mixed state of emotions: Wonder, fear, endearment, amusement... I yelped, I cooed, I giggled... Sometimes all at once. A great way to pass the New Year.

Him, amused: 'We didn't have to read about Kamehameha one I through III first thing in the morning...' Me: 'It's called rabbit-holin', and I'm a li'l bunny.'

Today, I learned about Bear 122... AKA, The Boss. He is about...600 lbs. of walking 'Fuck you.' He's been hit by a train twice, eats other bears, and has sired about 70% of the bears in Banff. He doesn't really mess with humans, prob'ly 'cause we're too easy and he likes the spice of a fight...

Went out to leave a feast for the outside critters. There was a 'possum already out there, and he scurried the moment I came out. I go to set the food down when I hear scratching behind me. In the darkness, I couldn't tell what it was...just a hazy fluff of white. A cat, perhaps...?

In lieu of leaving cookies and milk out for... *suspicious squint.* ...Santa... I'll be leaving half a burrito for the bless-ed trash panda that I've named Boogity.

I don't think I'm getting a kitten for Christmas.

Bari is the most 'pick me' type of person I've ever seen. She's living up to her self-proclaimed title of contrarian so hard that the lack of reporting is the report.

My goal for 2025 is 8 more new patrons. Would anyone care to help us out? Signing up for my Patreon helps support my fabric art, my writing, my unofficial town sorcerer work, and myself as a human being. www.patreon.com/jeremycreature

'Twas the night before Epstein release, And all through the 'House The Squeaker was squeaking, Like a frantic li'l mouse... The agents were redacting, Ensuring with great care, That—one-sided and exacting— Their retribution was there... But we've seen the estate releases so stop fucking us around.

Watchin' my fella's basic physiological functions like breathing and swallowing betray him: 'It's actually quite amazing that we've survived this long.' (He's fine, by the by.)

Why does it feel like December's going by with the suddenness and speed of falling down a flight of stairs?

Scotland generates significantly more renewable electricity than it consumes, hitting a record high of 113% of its electricity demand from renewables in 2022, meaning it exported surplus clean energy. It can be done!

*rubbing eyes and groaning:* Why couldn't America just get bangs...?

Well, I think we can all agree that if software is 'pretty cool,' it must be infallible. (Seriously, though... This is kind of horrifying.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9M4F_U1eEw

Hey, I know it's not Giving Tuesday anymore (I am deep in the paper mines), but if you've ever wanted to help me out, please consider donating to keep PRI and Ithaca's Museum of the Earth open. They have until December 31 to raise 1M to prevent foreclosure. priweb.donorsupport.co/page/FUNWALK...

Someone in the comments said they thump the hood before starting their car to make sure any critters in there skedaddle... I think it's a swell idea, what with it getting cold. (Bonus if my neighbors think I'm weird.)

I was watchin' the daily colon crawl conference, and as I saw Li'l Marco desperately try to be subtle about jolting the orangerangutan into consciousness...I experienced this moment of detachment where I thought, 'This was written by Charlie Day...?'

They may not be your official town sorcerer, but they are...to me...the official unofficial town sorcerer. (I'd hire 'em. There's a dirth of muscovy ducks in my area...)

Help. I am trying to identify the song that's in this short. I have listened to so much classical music in the last week trying to figure it out. I am hitting a point of fixation, 'cause I feel like I /know/ it, but cannot summon the answer... www.youtube.com/shorts/g_kX5...

A lot of people fantasize about what they would do if they could time travel, and they often want to do something that would have some kind of impact and change history... That's silly. I just want to know what those dodecahedron things were for. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_d...

The mad influx of AI anything really makes me fondly appreciate the worst Photoshops and Microsoft Paint modifications.

I could use some help spreading the word. My new little book is about two sisters who hunt down killers and collect body parts while complicating their lives with volatile magics, bizarre visions, and a mysterious mouth in the wall. Think Junji Ito meets Little Women. ghoulish.rip/product/fami...

I can't stop laughing every time I see Pam desperately stutter, 'Information!' as Ka$h stands in the background looking like a guilty dog confronted with a chewed up shoe.

It isn't sedition for veterans to remind service members of their duty to law, country, and the Constitution. It is, however, a repugnant disgrace to use the military as a tool against the people they are meant to defend.

THREAD: Judge Ellis is the first federal judge to review extensive body cam video of DHS's actions in Chicago. She finds that DHS *repeatedly* misled the public and made claims that were disproven by agents' own videos. I'll go through some of the most egregious ones here.

The last few days have been utterly wild... There's a lot to say about so much. But I kind of want to see if Michael Bay wants to direct the legal thriller-comedy adaptation of whatever Halligan just did, 'cause that shit sure blew the fuck up.

I have had my coffee. Apologies. There's about an hour or so after where my dials for 'Too Enthusiastic' and 'Inhibition' have been cranked to the max and turned off, respectively.

Mary Bruce is adamantine.

Hey Bluesky peeps, could you help spread the word? My Shirley Jackson Award-nominated gothic fiction book THE ATROCITIES is on sale today for $1.99 on Kindle. I have no idea how long this sale will last. www.amazon.com/Atrocities-J...

Can't figure out if I'm laughing at everything today due to an inexplicable lightness of spirit, or if I'm finally coming unglued.

I was talking in my sleep and woke myself up saying, 'He's only saying that he'll release the files because he's trying to shake the resolve of those who say they'll vote yes on the discharge, and send the message to what remains of his loyal base that he really is still about transparency...

Beware autocannibalistic leopards in shrinking spaces.

genuinely, think about how much our libraries do right now with the tiny bits of funding they can finagle, and imagine what they could do if they had real, proper funding. and then call your city council member and tell them to guarantee more money for the library

I wonder if the folk who are making exorbitant amounts of money off the suffering of others believe that if they can just get enough, they can finally afford a soul...

I could express opinions. There are a lot of things I could address... Buuut, instead—I'm laughing. I'm not pitching this. I was trying to explain 'long Furby' to someone (you'd think that self explanatory), and stumbled upon this. Be not afraid. www.etsy.com/listing/4308...

I’ve only posted one GFM, and it’s my intention never to post another. But this one is close to my heart. I know the family personally and have visited with them countless times. If you can help out, it would be great. If not, I completely understand - but a retweet is free. gofund.me/e44538b52

Once again, the fate of millions is in the hands of a few... Once again, I am wondering why we have no say at this stage. Sure, we elected those people, but...seriously, if it's this contentious, and if it is going to impact us most, why aren't we allowed to vote on this?

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets. no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

Day five of where I haven't gotten more than three hours of sleep each night: Pictures make sounds in my head now.

This guy's more informative than the news.

Tonight is a good night to howl at the moon...

I carved a pumpkin. I'm proud of it. ...but I hesitate to post pictures 'cause the gore factor I was going for came out too perfectly.

Today I suddenly had a Chest CT with contrast scheduled for tomorrow. I'm told it's crucial. Cost to me is $2,788.25 in advance. Who can scrounge up 2.7 grand in 24 hours?! I THINK that'll fit on the medical credit card but... fuck! If you want to help - www.gofundme.com/f/help-owen-...
