Had to back out of streaming for the rest of the year. This winter has been kicking my ass physically. And it's not even winter yet! It's still technically late fall! I should've known we'd eventually pay the price for last year's warm winter.

I just had to enter my birthdate to use Bsky which is...new? I think? Don't recall having to do that before.

I find the moral outrage over people posting their Spotify wrapped or the Discord equivalent to be exhausting and full of "stop having fun" energy. The world is on fire and sucks balls. Let people find joy in whatever small ways they can.

After our summer, where our choices were either "choking smoke" or "humidity so severe you can swim across the street," our winter choices seem to be "snow" or "single-digit temperatures." There are no other options.

Got Guild Wars Reforged and gave it a spin tonight. Never played it before, but I'm halfway through LWS3 of GW2. Started in Ascalon. As a human. Immediately did the "haha I'm in danger!" meme out loud.

I'm at the combination

Winter didn't so much arrive this year as kick down the door three weeks early, drunk and screaming, and passed out on the floor.

Introduce yourself with 5 concerts you've seen: Pearl Jam (several times) Bush/No Doubt/Goo Goo Dolls (first concert) Jack's Mannequin Marianas Trench That Weezer show where I had to be helped out of the mosh pit because I had an asthma attack

Did Thanksgiving with my friends today. Bestie made green chile turkey enchiladas and calibacitas for a New Mexican feast in Minnesota. It was so damn good.

I can always tell the weather by how many cats are in bed with us when I wake up. The last two mornings have been full-on four cats situations. When even Val is in bed with us you know it must be cold out.

Hazbin Hotel Season 2 has been watched (finally). Had a good time, enjoyed it, think they could've used Patrick Stump's vocal chops a bit more. Now they have the opportunity to do the funniest shit for season 3 and cast another pop-punk frontman as Cain though.

It's been five years now but I'm still haunted by the time I commented in an 18+ Discord server that "Mr Brightside" has a 20 second chorus for your Covid hand washing needs and somebody responded with "I don't listen to boomer music."

Not much to say about Trans Day of Remembrance anymore besides “try loving and celebrating us while we are alive”

Look I'm no poli sci scholar but I legit think Republicans voted yes on opening the Epstein files to "own the libs" because I'm sure Dems are in there, but they're really underestimating our willingness to eat our own if they've done something reprehensible.

stem cell research isnt "playing god", it's medicine building particle colliders isn't "playing god", it's physics you wanna know whats playing god? what will get us smited for our hubris? carbonating milk

Now that I give Miles his pills when I take my pills, after breakfast and before bed, he starts yelling at me if I take too long to get up or go to bed too late. He just wants his pill pocket.

Sometimes basic bitch butter-flavored microwave popcorn just really hits the spot.

Watched Wicked today and if Squeenix doesn't give G'raha Tia a kicky musical number in the next FFXIV expac I will riot

she’s a 10 but Excel thinks she’s October

I had nightmares about my Dad showing Alzheimers symptoms and disappearing, woke up to memes about Trump blowing Bill Clinton, and then one of my fake nails popped off and took my real one with it. Today sure is something.

"What if one of YOUR favorite politicians/celebrities/etc is on the list?" Did you all not notice how quickly we dropped Neil Gaiman when we found out about the things he did? Do you know how beloved that guy used to be and how loathed he is now? I think that right there should answer your question.

They should invent a government that isn’t senile pedophile adolf hitler

Miles takes his thyroid pills like a champ but then he immediately starts crying for more pill pockets

🎵 Mr Doordash Dash me a food Please do it quickly Don't wanna be rude 🎶

The aurora decided to show up at my house in the middle of the city too, though this was a few hours ago. Could kinda see it with the naked eye if you squinted which is wild because again, middle of a major city.

Aurora borealis, Nov 11 circa 7 pm near Afton, MN

Back at the vet with Miles today to deal with his weight loss. We suspect it's his thyroid. He's furious and won't stop yelling about it.

We have now entered the type of weather where everything hurts. It's supposed to warm up later in the week so hopefully that will help, but for right now I'm hiding in the office with the door closed to make it extra warm and cozy and dissociating in front of the PC.

An isekai anime, except you get isekai'd to fuckin ohio.

Hello darkness my old friend I'm wide awake at 3 am

www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1... Pretty pleased with how this shook out, I think she'll do a great job.

Did the thing.

Happened to be looking at my phone and genuinely got a jumpscare when it went from 1:59 AM to 1 AM. Completely forgot about DST.

Well now that it's November it's time to say goodbye to regular depression and hello to SEASONAL DEPRESSION

There are two reasons I dont like early Christmas stuff. One is because I don't even celebrate the damn holiday and it gets shoved down my throat. The other is that I am really allergic to artificial pine scents.

Doing nothing for Halloween this year. I'm not even gonna stream anything spooky because real life is scary enough. But I did buy some discount Halloween candy and I'm wearing Halloween pajamas and it's still the best holiday based on vibes alone.

We have to take Frank to the vet and a whole load of laundry got ruined due to a nail polish bottle somehow ending up in the dryer. Hooray expenses we can't afford!

now more than ever:

Day 3 post-flight and I'm still suffering from dizziness. I was okay on the way there, but the way back was really bad with a ton of turbulence in and out of my connecting flight in Dallas. Can somebody get me a new inner ear? This one sucks. (I have a surgery consult for that soon actually!)

I feel a little like I'm coming down with something and I can't tell whether it's an actual bug I caught on my trip or if I'm just that worn out.

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness) As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)

Home. The cats immediately ran over to me for attention and love. Husband isn't home yet but I imagine he will too.

On the way to my connecting flight in Dallas. Feels kinda sad to leave my hometown behind but I am more than ready to sleep in my own bed

Last night in Albuquerque. More than ready to go home. I miss my husband and my cats and my own bed.

Is it bad that whenever young people these days talk about how much they love the revival of “indie sleaze,” I, who was in my teens in 20s during that alleged time, have no idea what the fuck they’re talking about

I've hung out with three friends on this trip and each time it was like picking up a conversation that was simply paused eight or nine years ago.

Christ my parents still keep their house at lizard terrarium temperatures and I am melting in my childhood home
