For the first time I actually introduced myself as a Resident today and I feel like Sam Gamgee taking his first step further than he'd ever been in his life.

Leader traipsed upstairs behind me with Tiny and Miss Izz in tow. I have 3 velcro dogs now. It's like Leader's priming the young ones to fill her pawprints. 🥹 Not certain anyone has her exact skillset. Choose, train, advise and step aside. Some humans don't plan that far ahead.

Somebody just got wheeled in with a gunshot to the nuts. If they live, psych referral for possible adjustment disorder.

Not overly into dragons on a personal level, but they've become a large plot point in my original work. I could probably imaginate some other large fearsome flying thing, but dragons have eons of cultural weight behind them. I bet we were telling dragontales as monkey chirps in the trees.

Hey yall this is your chance to show the trans community you really are an ally and you're not just saying it for brownie points!! -Do not support ANY of this -JK Rowling has said on numerous occasions that her income goes DIRECTLY into anti-trans legislation in the UK -Seriously. NONE. Of it.

The world we could have made if greedy, fragile white men didn't have the power to take it from us.

Miss Izz is a full blown puppy. Might be making up for street life days. Spouse adores her even though it's me she follows everywhere. He's convinced that when she ran away it was to look for me. She was found the next town over, in straight line down the road I used to drive away from the fosterer.

Yes, yes, recipe blogs, I see your mixed berry and your pumpkin oat. But my pancakes today are Golden Fireball. The Golden comes from turmeric. The Fireball comes from Fireball. Happy Shrove Tuesday to all who mark it!

I don't really want to be writing fic again but sometimes my half-drafted Seph redemption fic or the AeriSeph fake dating idea keep my mind very busy.

Feb 17th this year is so many things. Chinese New Year, Mardi Gras and the start of Ramadan. What a world to live in, where there's always something that matters going on. Meanwhile, some boring dudes want to be like

[Gotye after being transported back to the USS Enterprise too early] 🎵You didn't have to beam me up🎵

Lecturer just likened residency examinations to a vocab test & the former-English-teacher side of me said, "Time to shine!" Now to deal with the reality that I've wanted all week to be crafting and sewing, but I am postcall and the blankets beckon.

Helluva a way to announce you can't get laid.

Fandom Internet Etiquette: 1) ship and let ship 2) don't like, don't read 3) canon doesn't matter 4) trolls are just brats who need taming 5) no ship is "wrong" or immoral; they're just dolls 6) fiction =/= reality; get over it 7) respect fandom creators; they're doing this shit for free

Legal status doesn’t matter: if you exceed ICE’s melanin threshold, you get snatched. It is ethnic cleansing. There is no other word for it. The news has shown you video of these often violent detentions. What you don’t see is what happens to these individuals after. I’ve had a front row seat. 7/

Computer, activate the Emergency Culinary Hologram.

Since donations have slowed down a bit, reminding y'all that I'm still trying to raise some money for Ang! Send me proof of donation and I'll draw whatever you like (within reason) $50+ for a sketch $100+ for a colored piece check @atherist.bsky.social for their Kofi or Cashapp. Thanks y'all. ❤️

Crazy Em and Miss Izz were playing in the porch this morning. Crazy Em hardly plays with anyone. Border Collie Business, I guess.

Really funny how the ruling class keeps justifying infringing on our liberties with "we gotta protect the children" while bombing palestinian children, protecting a global billionaire network of child trafficking, and building measles infested children prisons

I wouldn't have lasted long in the Victorian Era. I love that arsenic shade of green too much.

I am being told I have to wait three extra months for vacation 😩 I haven't taken vacation since 2019. I am tired in my bones and my brain and my soul.

I long so desperately for the day young and self-involved queer folks recognize that their obsession with hating the “wrong” people out of writing queer romance is not actually doing them any fucking good and always ends up in some gross combination of misogyny, transphobia, and gatekeeping.

Pretty sure it’s still me, actually, since nobody is gonna come up to you at a signing and tell you how much your slop meant to them.

In light of these trying times, I would like to submit 'tazed in the testicles until dead' for consideration

Man if I was a kindle unlimited subscriber and I run a high risk of reading ai slop because of these zone flooders… I’d seriously reconsider that KU subscription… life is too short to read crap!

As deadly sins go, it's gonna be a dead heat between sloth and gluttony for which one gets me first.

generative AI has become widely available in the summer of 2022 and entered mainstream in 2023 people are working themselves up in a frenzy, convinced they're utterly helpless without software younger than still-fresh canned tuna. we have been making art for at least 50,000 years, get a grip

The thing is Elon, money CAN buy happiness, if you know how to use it. You could have built things for people that needed them, fed the poor, housed the homeless. You could have given something back without asking for anything in return. Instead you chose to be a petty, nasty, racist piece of shit

A fanatical child rapist supporter decided to hurl racists insults and attack a teenage girl after she insulted his dear leader Donald Trump, he was then immediately beaten by a crowd of children and teens.

Patient escaped the ER today. Went down to the police to report his own murder. They brought him right back.

Had a co-intern whose approach to the hard days was, "It's all going to heck but at least my nails look good," and some days that's really how it is.

There's a saying that used to be heard more often than it is now, and if you do hear it, it's from the nastiest, most decrepit geezers that death hasn't managed to reap yet. "Anything after 12 is lunch." Vile creeps. The attitude is fading but not fast enough.

Staff, yeah. (Or NPCs.) :/

I’m obsessed with aeriseph matching outfits #FF7EC #aeriseph #セフィエア

Sick again! 😩 Same flu symptoms, probably a slightly different strain. Come on, it took six weeks to throw it last time. I cannae keep doing this.

Wondering if there's some psychological connection between many millennials on down not 'giving anybody grandkids' and boomers et al blowing through anything that could otherwise constitute an inheritance.

Remember to put all your PPE on, before you start scrolling.

The Pitt. 👀

Sis-in-Law is cleaning up Departed Uncle's house. She found a complete tea service & set it aside for me because,"It looks like your kind of thing," & she'd rather it go to family, even the By Marriage kind. So my teapot collection now has Moriage dragonware, probably from their grandmother's day.

I'm gonna need every young person to look up the Rodney King footage from the 90s and realize that was what the police were doing before the Internet. Before everybody had a cellphone. Things are bad because we can see them now but they were so much worse when we couldn't.

Got extra lemons from someone with a tree and hustled home to make... honey lemon tiramisu? Idk, ever since i realized the soaking liquid didn't have to be espresso, i've been experimenting. Next one will be spiced chai.

I think i'm going to scribble up that children's alphabet book I've been cooking forever so i can get to the real fun part, illustrating it. Watercolor, I think. Am I any good at it? 🤷🏽‍♀️ You have to start somewhere. #humanart

Fully expecting a concerned note from the maternal figure regarding the number of whisky bottles set out for our wee Burns Night escapade. It's a 'pour your own' thing, Ma. I might have *tasted* nearly a dozen for the compare&contrast but it only adds up to a couple of shots. There's work tomorrow.

His speechwriter secretly hates him.

Been wanting to pick up my half-done cross stitch for months but there's always something else. Tonight, an attempt at Lorne sausage. It's Burns Night on Sunday. In lieu of proper haggis, or any haggis rly, we treat ourselves to as many Scottish things as we can muster, & more than a wee dram.

I never get tired of watching dogs play bitey bite

Checked out #StarfleetAcademy and hoo, boy, the fanfics must be practically writing themselves. (OMG, they are ROOMMATES🤣)

Have a hankering for a rewatch. Some of my fave Robin Williams work, tbh.
