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.

Bookshop is having an Anti-Amazon sale, with cheap e-books and free shipping for print today and tomorrow: bookshop.org/lists/ebook-...

Every year you'll find you have fewer fucks to give about what other people think about you and it's incredibly liberating to grow into yourself. I didn't feel comfortable in my own skin until I was about 32.

Former Jade Helm truthers awfully quiet about Abbott sending the NG to another state against their wishes.

Ellen still hates the new office, but Natalie is happy as long as there's still a window she can do Watching from.

Son1's 2nd attempt at cinnamon French toast was wildly successful this morning. He was so happy he could send his friend off with something satisfying this morning. I also made him some sandwiches for his bus trip home.

Ellen is an old lady with hips that only sometimes work & she would probably be feeling really attacked by this fortune cookie if she could read English.

I was a little late to my team meeting this morning and I'm just now realizing I missed the opportunity for some Real Comedy. If I'd had my coffee, I'd have said "Sorry I was late; I thought I was getting raptured but it was just gas." I'll be better prepared next rapture.

I have taken the Tylenol that was in the medicine cabinet and which they think probably is the reason you like trains forgive me but that’s bullshit you got autism from your dad

It feels like people have gotten more and more confident in the idea that they hold the exclusive perspective on quality, and anyone who claims to love something they don't isn't just seen as disagreeing, but as being maliciously wrong or actively lying. Some things just aren't for you! Chill out!

Son1's house guest is going to be heading home in a couple of days: he's just really homesick. This is the longest he's been away from his home & he feels bad cutting it short but has been such a great guest.

FINALLY SOME GOOD NEWS IT’S FAT BEAR WEEK

Son1's friend arrived by bus yesterday and I'm so glad he's immediately made himself at home. Bro1 made him coffee this morning (fresh ground french press) & he declared after the 1st sip "this tastes like dessert coffee!" It might be the vanilla cinnamon creamer I got him.

Bro1 to Son1: our Dad used exclusively Irish Spring soap and herbal essence shampoo and could absolutely not ever use anything else. Me (from the kitchen): WHEEEEEERE did the autism come from????

If you see this, quote with the energy you bring to Bluesky

Project manager used my word-for-word snarky reply in his official end of project document so now "this problem is carbon-based and the suggested fix is training and awareness" is in the lessons learned doc.

We've got some guys here enclosing this open area in the front of my house to turn it into a bedroom (there's already a closet) so my son's friend can come stay with us for a couple of months. Then, it'll be my office/guest room.

In the "good news" corner of the internet: my silly little videos of me making jewelry and talking to myself are doing really well. And my sister @fynralyl.bsky.social joined my channel this year and has been a big part in our growing popularity.

Y'all want to see what Texas did to my congressional districts? They moved me out of 35 and into 10.

Ellen was distraught all evening: she couldn't go outside bc our back yard gate was being replaced AND the bed had been stripped bc *someone* threw up on it so she wasn't able to have her post meal snoozles. Her pastel rainbow fluff dog bed just came out of the dryer and she is snoring happily.

I can

Sorry. Can't.
