My youngest kid is 18. I can’t quite get over it.

“Friends, do not allow yourselves to become addicted to water.”

Saw “Iron Lung.” Have so, so, so many questions.

Apparently being pansexual means being attracted to fictional characters of any gender and approximately 3 actual living humans. Hehhhhh.

Ugh. I need to get a WiFi extender of some kind so my WiFi signal goes to the edge of my property. Something like 200 foot radius. That sounds expensive.

I am going to acquire a freezer separate from my fridge. People who know these appliances, what do I need to look for? Chest freezer? Upright? The space is flexible.

BOSTON HAAALP.

Yeah, YOU, I’m mad at YOU, dog! Hestia here tore the door off the chicken coop and had herself an EGG FEAST. All chickens safe and accounted for, she’s not interested in birds, JUST EGGS. Guess who’s gotta build a new MUCH STRONGER coop door tomorrow? The arms race continues.

Hey remember back when Russian dash cam videos were everywhere and it was a big sign that the state had basically collapsed and people had to record everything to be safe? Yeah, well guess what that's us now. Buy dash cams for MPLS. www.amazon.com/registries/g...

Was showing a friend “The Murderbot Diaries.” She called Gurathin a “pillow sniffer lookin’ creep.” I had to CLENCH DOWN on my impulse to laugh, because yeah, then he totally went and sniffed a pillow shortly thereafter. I needed that laugh.

I need everyone to know that on the crochet subreddit the mods made a big post about how they're taking a week off because there was too much fighting/political posts. so there's currently no mods on r/crochet and people are being absolutely insane

“A certain kind of man looks up to those who are brave enough to be REALLY bad.” More heartbreaking Terry Pratchett wisdom

Ok so, we now need civilians to enforce law and order?

Timeline cleanse: chickens are doing well! From left to right they are Flurry (Icelandic), Legs (Legbar) and Sugahtits (Marans) in the back, Stump down in front (Easter Egger, missing a wing), Gruntle the rooster (Icelandic), and Andy (named for The Shawshank Redemption, she escapes; Icelandic).

I am reading “Night Watch.” And … oh no. I know it pulled inspiration from Bloody Sunday and Terry Pratchett didn’t live to see the current (waves) everything, but holy shit is it … let’s call it RELEVANT. History doesn’t repeat, but it rhymes.

Groundhog Harassed By Dipshits In Stupid Hats

My new thank you cards are inspired by my cat Shrimp. Her Chinese name is 蝦餃(Har Gow), meaning shrimp dumpling

Hestia gives great side-eye.

Sooooo, are we already in the middle of a civil war? Cuz it kinda feels like we are.

I have ordered 8 ounces of flax seed because I need to see how to make linen

An undergrad course catalog is honestly a top-three literary genre, a singular expression of the variety of attention and possibility and wisdom that total strangers are dying to share with you

On Tinder, was talking w a guy who said he collects old porcelain dolls with leather bodies. Help, I apparently just met a character from one of my own stories, and not the fun way.

(Bursts in with an armful of books and papers and some optimistic diagrams) Ok so what if I had llamas?

I just called markiplier a hottie, and my teenager is horrified. Mission accomplished.

i just lol'ed for like 30 seconds, amazing work everyone

Great Pyrenees would be an absolutely filthy rancher looking at you with a raised lip going “WHY. What is the PURPOSE. This seems like a shit decision to me and I might overrule you. I’m just going to roll in the dirt when I get home, I hope you know.”

Ok hear me out What if we take the whistle thing, and escalate to kazoos?

Because the first 3 were same size, I assumed this was a thing where it was the same person in each photo. Like, “Here is an officer on duty and off duty. They are people too!” thing. Then I got to the last one and was like “oh yeah that is not the same person twice.”

Rand Fucking Paul being the least unreasonable Republican again.

It occurs to me that The Magnus Archives never did a story with The Buried involving snow. I wonder if it’s bc there isn’t so much snow where Johnny lives, or if he just likes snow so it wasn’t scary.

I think one of the reasons hobbits have endured and appeal to people even today is because of this. They farm, eat, fuck, party, and garden. They like a good yarn and a pub crawl. They overall enjoy just living.

I could NOT remember this song whose melody was in my head. Couldn’t remember the artist. Could not remember enough of the lyrics to get a match. Scrolled through my liked songs, didn’t see it. Gave up. Hit shuffle play on a 1K+ song playlist. It was the 2nd song. music.youtube.com/watch?v=tGG3...

I saw a sign advertising employment available, proclaiming proudly, “We Hire Humans!” Soooo I guess we have arrived in full scifi dystopia, huh?

Generalize your posts (“skeets”? Absolutely not.) What’s your most typical post? Had a weird thought connecting two things in an absurd manner. Might write a story on it. Probably won’t. Look at this thing I made or this animal/plant I have/saw. Are folks actually surprised the world is on fire?

What, you mean people who are trying to survive and protect their communities against an aggressive invasive force tend to follow the same patterns? YOU DON’T SAY.

my boys would like you to . . . take a breath unclench your jaw relax your shoulders stretch your neck drink some water okay carry on fuck ICE

I keep telling dudes to VOLUNTEER. They don’t listen to me.

Aging indie/punk people, romance people &zine people, activists ofc too, all kinds of creative & resourceful people, we're talking & having ideas & doing the thing. "Who's paying for this" wingnuts scream. LOL babe that's cute. we're used to doing something cool for no money, powered partly by spite

Stomach: We’re hungry. Me: I just gave you a giant bowl of soup. Stomach: Liquid doesn’t count.

Hey BlueSky, help me come up with a title? One word, a play on death magic. The other 3 stories are titled: - Abracadaver - Lichcraft - NecRomantic Fourth story centers more on trauma recovery, endings leading to beginnings, getting the help/therapy you need. Ideas?

I made myself a 2026 bingo card. Let’s see how it goes. (Blank included too)

I am sick. Artemis and Hestia are taking turns sleeping half on top of me. They are very concerned.

Brain: “Well sure, animals’ needs are simple, achievable. So much easier than the bewildering social demands of humans.” Me: “Brain, that is The Onion.” Brain: “That’s why we have so many pets.” Me: “Hush, I don’t want to relate to this.” Brain: “Shoulda been a zookeeper” Me: “GDI”
