“So you are… You are not killing me in this supply closet?” “Of course not!! There's no floor drains in here, it would have been too messy.”

I'm so dehydrated that my blood pressure keeps tanking. My SIL's retired service dog is trained to respond to her POTS episodes and keeps alerting - "Mom! Your blood pressure is low... wait, you are not Mom."

I wish humans could receive subcutaneous fluids. I'm so dehydrated and putting anything in my stomach *hurts*

My SIL brought me this when I finally broke down and called her to come help. (I was lying in a literal puddle of puke.)

I know this is in no way scientific, but I feel it is still interesting:

It is blatantly obvious what is wrong with me based on what I just DoorDashed, but fuck, I almost passed out on the stairs. This is not fibro - this is probably an intestinal virus

"Luke still has trouble shaking off his native Tatooinian suspicion of authority. Princesses are all well and good when you’re rescuing them from Death Stars, but it’s another matter entirely when they’re trying to run your life for you."

*clink* Me, without looking up: "GET OUT OF THE KITCHEN!" *thump of a cat jumping off the counter and onto the floor*

Do I believe there's treasure on Oak Island? No. Does this show amuse me? Yes.

My work interferes with his napping

“We’re not fucking like rabbits. We’re not even fucking like moles.” “What about stoats?” “Shut up, MacTavish."

My #ElderScrollsOnline wood elf and his crew in Valenwood 🍃

Sleepy old man

My SIL is allowing Thing 1 to play Cards Against Humanity - I am shocked. He's in his early 20s, but she shelters him so much. (He's autistic - struggles with basic hygiene, couldn't be trusted to live on his own, etc.)

I want to take a nap already, but I have to wait for the dryer to finish with the loveseat's slipcover

Pope Leo pulling no punches on these bishop appointments.

"If they misbehave, if they do something bad"? What the fuck? Iran is not a naughty puppy chewing on your shoes, you fluorescent turd

"The devil looks after his own.” That sounded about right: Ghost always looked like the kind of tired sleep couldn’t fix. Like he was already dead and just dragging his body along, headhunting for hell along the way.

I may be a useless waste of oxygen, but at least I can make sure my baby niece is brought home to a house where the carpet doesn't qualify as a biohazard

Today is Morrowind's 24th Birthday! Nearly a quarter of a century ago, The Elder Scrolls: III Morrowind was released on May 1st of 2002. Thanks to mods, the game looks a lot different than it did all those years ago, but without doubt, it's still my all-time favorite game! #Morrowind #TES

Happy birthday you weird, wonderful, imperfectly perfect game you

Happy 24th anniversary #morrowind 💜💜💜💜

SIL is traveling across the state for a neuro appointment today and was feeling nauseated and now I'm sitting here thinking "I should have given her a bowl just in case she needs to puke in the car..." Is the puke-bowl a Midwestern thing? I think this might be a Midwestern thing.

I'm binge-watching Forged in Fire while I work. Currently waiting for CBP's website to fucking work so I can file a pile of export declarations and finish these shipments.

The hound dog is growling, teeth pulled back in his sleep. I'm sure the dream!rabbit is quaking in its fuzzy slippers

Introduced SIL to Knives Out last night. She agrees with me that Linda will be just fine... especially after she divorces her scumbag husband. We got distracted by Thing 1 cackling about the coffee mug before I could bring up games of Go played during prison visitation

Shit like this is why god doesn’t talk to us anymore

*side eyes laptop*

"Father, why do you abandon me?"

Playing DND with a kid on the autism spectrum: constantly explaining why you don't want to tell everyone everything.

There is something wrong with this picture

"Virgil, please." "Virgil." "Virgil." "Virgil..."

Who in Morrowind is the 'Cool Mom'? Inquiring minds want to know

There will be lots of chin-stroking columns about political violence and lowering the temperature that will studiously ignore we're still talking about the guy who had a lynch mob sack the Capitol and try to kill the vice president.

@cherokeestarfish.bsky.social is there something you'd like to share with the class? Are you secretly a ghost in the machine? 👻 (WTF?!? YouTube, seriously.)

One of the cats, Sherlock, is a talker and makes a noise that sounds like a creepy child saying "hello?" He is currently scolding SIL to go to bed. (He sleeps with his head on her chest.)

Master and apprentice on Forged in Fire: "LAY ON!" Me: "SCA."

Pour one out for the Hilton staff who are working perhaps the worst shift in food service history rn.

Some people don't seem to understand the cause-and-effect nature of supply chains, so let me give you examples: Plague of locusts in Kenya? Is going to hike the price of mining machinery in South Africa. Chinese New Year causes 2+ week long delays on exporting goods to Australia.

The flatulent turnip couldn't find a win with two hands and a GPS. Crops are already being planted in the northern hemisphere, there isn't enough fertilizer because of the closing of the strait - this is already a loss. We need him out so fixes can be tried ASAP.

"The D&D Player's Guide is not a grimoire!" "Says who?"

One dog needed to be taken to the vet - the other two are now wandering around crying in distress. They do not believe me when I say they really didn't want to go with him.

"Wee Albert has appointed himself as Nora’s guard dog and would sit vigilantly beside her until, he too, dozed off. Albert’s intentions were always good but like his master, he was easily distracted."

Tried to catch a photo of Boss Cat *playing* with a dog toy, but he heard the click of the phone camera and immediately rolled away and started licking his butt. Because, cat.

One of them is purring up a storm

Also, being able to tell someone "buy two travel bottles of random shampoo" and have Tannim just do it with there being no anxiety and fretting involved as awesome. (My shampoo is no longer available? So I'm having to find a new one. It hasn't been going well.)

Just completed the truly Midwestern dance of guilt involving 3 adults and a lawnmower. I'm horrifically out of shape, my brother had back surgery 3 months ago, and my SIL basically died 2 weeks ago. Brother & I got maybe 2/3rds of the yard mowed before it started raining. Because, the Midwest 🌽⛈️
