Everyone please diligently check your candy this year. I cracked open a snickers bar and not only did I find a copper ingot, but it was of poor quality. Worse still, when my man Nanni confronted my neighbor about it, he was treated with disdain.

🎩 Unconditional love means giving without feeling entitled to anything in return.

From the Larchives: The Rocky Horus Picture Scroll. One of my favorite works. I had the assistance of an Egyptology PhD student to translate the Time Warp phonetically. Enjoy :)

It has been a, uh, difficult week but I have not laughed louder and harder at something in a very long time than at this.

Found out yesterday that a much-loved member of the local (my hometown) cosplay/convention community passed away last Thursday. He was one of the first people I met at the local con, and really made me feel welcome. He was fun and funny and truly loved his family and community. Rest easy, Chris.

We get signal. Main screen turn on.

happy none pizza left beef day!! it's been 18 years and is now old enough to vote

Ideal conditions for starting your passion project will never come. You will never feel skilled enough to make it. There will never be a moment where you stop being scared to start. Do it anyway. Do it badly. Do it scared. Just make that thing that’s clawing at the door of your soul; It wants out.

WIP Space Budgie commish:

New workshop is down to: - 4 boxes of craft stuff to unpack and organize. - 2 boxes of tech stuff that will be unpacked/organized once I bring my computer down. - 1 box of bags I've made, but I don't have anywhere to display them right now. They may go in my work office until I have shelves.

good morning

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Huh. Is this what the regent lord of Quel’Thalas has been doing since the last expansion?

I found the box that has my slippers!

topical

the other thing that comes to mind is when dan castellaneta yells BART so fucking loud the echo can't be suppressed

Urianger's VA sings soda pop! thank you thimothy for accepting this dumb request and making it so amazing! www.youtube.com/shorts/wDz3I...

Don't bully the BUDGIE

YEAH…!

Okay, that's enough social media for the day. Unfortunately those who shouldn't be on social media are the ones making it a complete cesspool in the first place.

This Tumblr user summarizes something I've been feeling/doing lately. Against everything going on, it somehow feels helpful.

It's Workshop Day! New storage rack should be arriving ANNNNY minute now. Then I can do more unpacking and organizing of the workshop and get back to building. ANNNNNNNY MINUTE NOW, REALLY....

New storage rack arrives tomorrow. Hoping I can get it put together and really start unpacking and setting up the workshop so I can get back to MAKING things. Naturally I expect to get it all set up and then get stuck on what to make first. >.>

if your standard sense of humor is the sort where you routinely heckle and roast your friends I need you to understand you can't just automatically do that to strangers on the internet and expect them to be chill about it. it really just comes off like you are being mean to someone for no reason.

Miss Zoe. The vet said it was congestive heart failure. I think her heart was just too full of love for everyone and everything. I miss her every damn day.

"I had to work 10 times harder than the average man just to get the same level of recognition," Jane Goodall told us in 2020. "But once I had made a name for myself, I let the data speak for me."

(solemnly) You've had mail.

Budgies are the best. (Adopt one from a rescue! They’re the most surrendered and least adopted out at friend’s rescue).

Watching husband stream. Jamming out to "eScape" to a chorus of "Thanks! That helped!" IYKYK

My coffee this morning won't put hair on your chest, but it WILL put Uggs on your feet. (Not a Pumpkin Spice girly. I skip straight to Peppermint Mocha.)

The people that are angriest at the happiness of others are angry because they have none of their own and more often than not, they've no idea how to find it - so they've just deemed it as something not worth caring about rather than try and look.

I found more joy in life this way.

Well don't I feel stupid

Anybody: this is worse than you probably think. Me: you're entirely correct, but my sympathetic nervous system is on strike and I'm all out of panic.

Budgies are perfect beings who can do no wrong.

One of these days I'll find the box that has my slippers.

We did the yard work to get the HOA off our backs. (We JUST found the box with the lawnmower/hedge trimmer batteries yesterday, okay?) Met the neighbor. Basically our very own Hank Hill. He's lived in NC too. Has sons our age. We agree on BBQ, and I'm glad I baked cookies last night!

I miss the early(ish) internet days when the most outrageous hoax people were duped into believing was Bonsai Kittens.

🍂Blessed Mabon🍂 Today we honor balance as day and night stand equal. May your harvest, whether of the heart, home, or spirit, be bountiful. Take a moment to reflect, release what no longer serves you, and welcome the blessings of this next season.🧡

Can't find my journal I was writing in. Thankfully it's a disc-bound notebook, and I DID find my refill paper...so technically I can still write and then insert those pages when I find it. Just feels weird. Now I'm stuck on the next dilemma: Which pen and ink to use.

Someone just drove down our road with their music loud enough that I could hear it inside my office. I ain't even mad. They were playing "Golden". XD

Really tough time to be an adult who actually did all the assigned high school reading.

I know a fae trap when I see one

The ball in the box hit the button really hard today. Social media hasn't been a help either. While I read about everything going on, I try to not post about current events here because I figure maybe others need a break from time to time too. Here...I painted a thing. Take a deep breath with me.
