Y'all, I have never had a reply escape containment before. Usually it's just like 4 of my moots. But people have Big Feeling right now. And that is ok. If yelling at me about things I didn't actually say makes them feel a little better, ok.

Y'all I live with my brothers and an adult son and I've been asking them to please find jobs for a while (but it's rough out there)& joked "as long as you don't work for ICE bc then you'll have to find somewhere else to live" Son1 got really serious & said "I could never hurt people for money"

Me and @fynralyl.bsky.social were originally going to go see LOTR extended editions in the theaters this weekend but with the weather the way it is, we're watching at home. With snacks, and cozy slippers, and dog snuggles.

"My husband complains about the cold," the man said. "Can you teach me a spell to keep him warm?" "I can teach you to bind hair into a net to catch heat," the wizard said, "using arcane counting and a pair of fine wands." After a while, the man said "Isn't this knitting?" "This, too, it's magic."

Food and water has been stocked up, power banks and emergency lanterns charged. I've downloaded a couple of audiobooks on my tablets & now I'm waiting for my sister to get here ahead of the storm to spend the weekend with me.

Being the safe person in the family for people to confess their suicidal thoughts to has a very unique mental load.

Shout out to the top 5 goods in the world. It's all, up to no, finger lickin', Johnny B, and Renee.

That one time the crew of the Enterprise got back to our galaxy using literally thoughts and prayers.

I love Beam Paints! And their sparkly colors use mica that is mined without child labor!

When the World is burning, doing my silly little hobbies intensifies. I'm calling this my Dragon Hoard wrap bracelet (named by my sister @fynralyl.bsky.social ) and the connector & crystal beads all came from Green Girl Studios

Having to reassure an elderly dog after they had an accident that yes, they are still the goodest girl. Goodest girl tax:

Made some NYE banana bread. Happy New Year everyone!

When someone else feeds Natalie she always noses her dish when I go out to refill my drink like "please mother I'm dying of starbation" even though she ate a whole bowl of food like 20 minutes prior. I'm not falling for that.

My work laptop is about 7 years old so some of the keys are a little iffy now. My question mark is broken so now I sound really terse.

Technically, ‘should of’ is ‘should have,’ but we’re all about showing grace in the new year.

Bro2 needed new headphones so I'm not able to order some for my stepdad. I hope he's ok with some arriving a bit late. Son1 asked for a sunrise alarm clock so that was his Christmas gift. Bro1 didn't ask for anything. I got to spend this last weekend with my sister and that was enough for me.

Usually USPS packages sent to me go to Dallas first and then Austin. One package's tracking showed it left Dallas and just got scanned at a post office in Aurora CO.

The girls still don't know how to read English so I'm still reading them their fortunes.

🎶 I don't wanna wait for the warp drive to go nova I wanna know right now if I should flee 🎶

Pantone folks taking that "no more DEI" directive seriously

Y'all. I kept asking Son1 to watch Kpop Demon Hunters with me but he wasn't at all interested. So tell me why he was so excited about having watched it during his visit to his Dad's house?

Marked safe today from *checks notes* the people visiting a house the next street over getting luggage out of their car.

From the Larchives. I guess it's time to post this cartoon for my American friends again :)

Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it. Everyone, give @skatunenetwork.bsky.social your money. They deserve it.

The night before the Wednesday before Thanksgiving is NOT the time you want to discover you're out of butter. I mean it's better than discovering it the day of, but I had purposely planned all of my shopping to be done by yesterday

me on bluesky at the end of times with all of you

I can sometimes be a little guilty of only leaving customer service feedback when something goes wrong so I'm spending today leaving some positive feedback for all the shops I have had great service and experiences with.

Important reminder for all turkeys out there

Ellen and Natalie love you! 💖

They announced a new Stargate show yesterday (all the Stargates are my all-time comfort shows) and that one emo realtor in Oregon dropped another banger on IG so maybe it's going to be a good day?

Blue common security question

I feel like it's never the wrong time of year to wear skulls

Update on this: performed the surgery only to find the part was NOT compatible (even though the parts website said it was) so I have to return it. The new part is quite expensive & a new range is only a couple hundred more with BF deals so we're getting a new one delivered today.

Absolutely surreal to hear Christie Road playing softly in the waiting room of this dental practice.

Son1 just asked if his friend who came to stay with us can come back and bring his twin brother & that brother's GF because they don't feel safe loving with the twin's mom anymore & like yeah I just made a whole guest room with 3 entire beds in it we got room.

Tell your dogs my dogs say Hi

So last night I accidentally shattered the glass on my range's cooktop. So today I tracked down the part to replace it and it'll get here in 3-5 business days. I'll be replacing it myself.

Legitimate banger tho

Y'all, as a kid who grew up food-insecure, plz don't do this. There is nothing more demoralizing as a little kid than being reminded of your family's poverty. We looked forward to Halloween bc it was the 1 chance to be like every other kid and get access to treats the food banks never gave out.

I love Rebecca DOWN. Known as Dollar Tree Dinners. Her “Meal in a Bag” is meant to provide ppl with a complete meal that is $8 or less, is shelf stable, & can be made without access to a full kitchen. I love this as a direct aid option. Good for neighbors & elders who can’t/wont go to a pantry.

We're heading home, and he'll be ok just needs a course of antibiotics. 💖

At the ER with Bro2. Their billing specialist has given me the paperwork to fill out for his financial assistance for today's visit. I had to get special dispensation to keep son1 on my insurance past age 26, I can't add either of my brothers even though they are both completely dependent on me.

Tastee Freez Employee 1: Are those two weird fuckers who suck on the chili dogs back out there Tastee Freez Employee 2:*sighs* yeah

Tuesdays are a battlefield. Mars was the Roman god of war. The Germanic equivalent was Tīw or Tiu (Norse = Tyr). This is why today is called ‘Tuesday.’ And why it’s mardi/martes/martedì in the Romance Languages.

Son1 has been working steadily to get more comfortable leaving the house and going places. He asked to have a regular library day recently, so now on Wednesdays we're being library kids. Last night we were there long enough to get the "we're closing in 30 minutes" notification.

Caffeine goes in the face hole.
