Journal entry 8 - the #dbz best boys are on the case! Inspired by the Vegeta Columbo by @jackiev.bsky.social

In the process of de-Googling/quitting Chrome which means I had to close hundreds of tabs today. You’re about to get so many listener emails from me, @500opentabs.bsky.social

Journal entry 7 - Vash the Stampede. I enjoyed #trigun so much that I don’t want to see a single reboot

This post’s comments are the reason I love hearing about people’s dreams

Journal entry 6 - Any fans of Apollo the African gray parrot? #itsabug

This is so pleasing

Journal entry 5 - Clara the chihuahua

YOU’RE LISTENING TO SISYPHUS FM, THE HOME OF NON-STOP ROCK

Journal entry 4 - teatime

Journal entry 3 - sick days

Sudden thunderstorm took out the nearby transformer in the most explosive way. There were flames, briefly. Gosh I love all this aging infrastructure of ours!

I think I miss doing book reports

Entry 2 from the sketch journal - my #dnd character, Strix, plus various assorted bits. And @blackforager.bsky.social as a fairy queen!

Finally filled up my drawing/writing #journal, fully inspired by @moosekleenex.bsky.social. Will post some pages soon. My brain is dumb and my hands are out of practice but I’ve learned to love their work, regardless.

First fruits of the garden: a single red currant. It was not ripe enough

The source of my persistent headaches

This brought me joy.

Solar geoengineering terrifies me.

FLEDGLING SEASON means unbelievably bad video of #babybirds

Went to my favorite weird thrift store for distraction purposes and found this gem from 1911. Apparently all children were kinda haunted back then

obsessed with this US department of agriculture zine about snail farming from 1986 openknowledge.fao.org/server/api/c...

I like my new neighbor.

Happy Piccolo Day to all who observe

#PiccoloDay so I put on clothes that made me feel cool and aura-farmed around town while doing errands

Listening to Kneecap and Bob Vylan in the office #cubicle might be bad for me

Still thinking about the big guy’s fits. Porco Rosso is at ease in his clothes wherever he goes; he radiates elegance while also quietly conveying the underlying porcine strength, held in reserve until the end…

It’s almost 10:30am on a Monday and my partner’s dad is still at our house. He arrived at 4pm on Friday. He’s been doing this for years but it still makes me crazy

Mexican restaurant + Kentucky Derby = sensory wtf

The new vegetable bed is ready for planting. This shit is so much easier in Stardew Valley. . #gardening

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters

A lot of the people in my department seem like decent folks. Then the staff meeting starts and they talk about how AI is good actually and unions are bad actually. Even organizations with “good missions” are made rotten by capitalism.

Too much happening. It’s not happening to me but it’s still too much.

“I picked up the guitar last year, and after endless hours of private lessons and online tutorials, I’ve now learned enough to realize that I have no idea what I’m doing with this instrument,” said the 45-year-old content strategist

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Rejecting feedback—or using it selectively—is an important part of creative work and should be honored! When I was working on my MFA thesis I completely ruined a poem by following my mentor’s advice too closely. She was happy with it, but I wasn’t.

me when someone cites the deep magic to me even though I was there when it was written: holy shit, for real? I don't remember that part at all

you do not have to hand it to tucker carlson or marjorie taylor greene or alex jones or megyn kelly. they're all rats who see trump as a sinking ship and they're getting ready to jump in preparation for their next act. you do not have to fall for it.

Called my rep. Got a real person, for the first time ever, and felt like an idiot for babbling. But I’m really upset about Iran. We can’t go on like this.

I feel sick to my stomach waiting around to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.

There are MORELS in my YARD this is absurd!! Also about 50% of the ramps I planted last year came up. I love NATURE aarrgggh #morels

It’s #tdov and I’m cis and I can afford it, so I set up a monthly donation to the local trans youth org. But I’m also self-indulgent and couldn’t resist drawing my sweet trans OCs from my novel-in-progress. They’re so cute!!!!

Unfortunately I still have to

Monkey wrenching is such an under appreciated form of protest

This was *extremely* charming and I wish there were more episodes!

if you watch or support this you're a bad person btw. i'm not arguing with you about it either

*creaks back in rocking chair* aye, I remember a time before TSA…

A friend just sent me this perfect piece by Karel Čapek, trans. Dora Round, ‘From the Point of View of a Cat’.
