operation 'don't let all the veg you bought on Wednesday go bad' commences. I'm going to do some wash and pre-prep on these, hopefully show you the result later.

#k8bf Buddie story idea, set post 8b, E is throwing himself into dating again, finds a compatible gal and things are going well, maybe haven't slept together yet but it's early going. Then, either she finally meets Buck or spots a pic of him and it turns out she had a one night stand with him back

#k8dye I got deep blue and violet iroiro yesterday which are very close in color and in retrospect I maybe should have gotten purple but in any event. for my dying records, currently dying left hand chunk Of what would be the undercut area with violet starting 2:50ish, I'm leaving it in through 6p.

Hey authors, the official list of Anthropic works is available for searching. secure.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com/lookup

So I got this metal 10 tier shoe rack at Aldi and for some reason my brain didn't process 'that means it's 10 shoes tall' which is 5'2, which is roughly nose height for me. also I have basically four pairs of shoes, five if you count the in-house sandals, that I ever wear. But it called to me.

The upside of dimension 20 is you get so much delicious content, the bad side is if you fall behind by a couple weeks You have like 6 hours to catch up on to get current

all my yuletide noms are approved! (Not even sure how many of these I'm going to offer/request but I'm excited for sign up time to come around again, it's honestly one of my favorite things about the holiday season)

well at least the good news is my dad has finally come around to the idea that he's going to have to get a professional in to deal with the b*db*g issue. I am currently dealing with the whole "He gives me a ride to do various grocery shopping every week or two because I still don't drive" issue by

A quick FYI: They have *just* relaunched the online NPR shop with bunches of new stuff, plus some throwbacks and, of course, the Tiny Desk hoodie. So if you are that kind of public media person, there’s some stuff to check out! shopnpr.org

It's so weird to hear the pope talk with no accent (Yes I know It's an American accent, but obvs to my ears it's neutral). I just saw a clip and I'm like who's that dressing up like the pope but not bothering to try to sound popey?

#k8food enchilada that turned out well: thin small mission corn tortillas dipped in Walmart green enchilada sauce stuffed with a mix of shredded rotisserie chicken, shredded pepper jack, a little enchilada sauce and sour cream, cooked pearl barley and lightly pickled diced shallots, more enchilada

#petdeath It's weird as I continue to organize and straighten and move around stuff in my apartment. She's been gone about 6 weeks now. There is/was an arrangement of things here that was often a defensive crouch against an increasingly feeble but still sporadically really fucking spry gremlin baby.

#Task I'm finally catching up on this show and if they don't want me to want these two to be fucking they need to do less of this

I haven't seen bees for at least a week but this cutie stopped by today

Really enjoying House of Guinness so far!

Look at me, reorganizing my pantry cabinets and forcing myself to throw out most stuff with a Best By earlier than 2024.

#k8gard I've been moving around some furniture and stuff and here's a clearer view of the balcony in total than I think I've offered so far.

I'm dying over Smitten Kitten (a sex shoppe) having to basically be like, "Google is lying about us having a glory hole." www.instagram.com/reel/DPACIxZ...

#health So it seems like my parents came through the other side of COVID without any hospitalization level issues but my mom called me earlier and was like I got a negative test yay and I'm like yay! And then she's like but it's so weird I can't even really cross the room without getting out of

If anyone is still pre Yuletide nomination and is nominating Dept Q, I got Carl, Rachel, Akram and Jasper, But I'd love to see Rose, Merritt and James in there as well.

Yuletide Nom adjacent update! the archive is now going down for maintenance 2 hours earlier then originally planned so 5:30 am UTC/1:30am Eastern, So about 8 hours from now.

#k8food pork shoulder steaks in at 2:05 to oven heating to 325. koreanish marinade, over onions In one dish, frozen onion pepper mix in the other, covered with foil. supposed to cook for 2 hours then uncover based and do another half hour at 375. steaks cut off of pork shoulder with roughly half the

You guyssss it drops in fucking November???

So this remains my long list! If by some chance you have already nominated one of these feel free to DM me so I know I can skip it. (I feel like Bminds, Murderbot and Gilded Age have a high chance). dropping Rainmaker since I'm behind on that show. Dept Q also probably nominated? didn't there used

in ongoing efforts to distract myself from the everything I have been absolutely binging Tavia Lark books (first the radiance series and now I'm on to the prince one, which I'm not quite as high on as I was with the radiance series but I'm only on the first book).

But also Yuletide noms are due 9p UTC on the 26 so looks like You're going to want to turn them in early/before this.

I'm good. definitely don't have a problem. #k8gard

The boarding and the pet surrender fee is going to be close to $750. Then there's transport and all of that as well. If you're willing and able, I would love some assistance, but please don't feel obligated in any way. My venmo is @bliss116, and here's a link to my ko-fi: ko-fi.com/chaneen

So I've been on a 'make use of my KU membership' run lately, and part of how I've been doing that is I use the assistive reader function to toggle between listening and reading. (I don't like most audiobook narration tbh, and this is free, but to be crystal clear I am not in favor of AI narrators)

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

yet again I lost the war against "If you get up early it will still be cool enough that going outside isn't gross and disgusting and then you can go somewhere, but unfortunately not getting up early feels really good in the moment." which sucks because the bus I need to take doesn't run Sundays.

You are staring at 350 person convention. What software do you use for registration? For programming? For the website? Asking for a friend.

yuletide-admin.dreamwidth.org/124175.html this is your (and my) reminder that Yuletide noms are open between now and next Friday.

Look, not everybody can cancel their Hulu/Disney right now, but I've seen from several places that if you do try to cancel they often panic and offer you a much cheaper deal. So why not at least start to cancel and see if you can cut into their income by getting a discount.

I think if we do get him back, Kimmel is the type to have a sense of humor and supercut all of the people who are like "Jesus fucking Christ you're going to make me defend Kimmel of all people, ugh fine".

Is there anything stopping him from just... doing shit on their YouTube channel?

late afternoon state of the planties for late September (which has involved highs still in the mid to upper '80s all week where I live.) I've got roughly 2 months until the first frost kills most of these but in the meantime we're letting the girls get bushy.

Anyone else's second or third thought after hearing about the JK thing, "Oh no, poor Lou Wilson!"

Dr. Tweets and Quincy are on Home to Home. Please share their profiles if you can; we're still looking for a home for them! Tweets: home-home.org/pets/e4597c4... Quincy: home-home.org/pets/7f60932...

can't wait for SNL to not rise to the occasion in two and a half weeks

Seth Meyers though.

TFW You really do understand what the initials are for but there's a little fast twitch part of your brain that is saying "Oh God what did Louis CK do now" every time people talk about CK.

If it happened because of last night's episode, it wasn't even that spicy :/

and the nation tentatively turns its eyes to... Jimmy Fallon?

I don't like the person that interacting with my mother forces me to be, if I want to maintain any sort of emotional boundaries and hygiene. But that person keeps me relatively safe, and showing up authentically as myself leaves me drowning in passive aggressive button pushing tar, so. Needs must.

Take that, ADHD object permanence issues! (I had saved some clear produce containers intending on using them for planting but I never got around to it. then I had a bunch of little electronics doodads that needed sorting and containering).
