it was so easy to buy avocados that I almost completely missed that both the superbowl and the olympics are happening right now

an hour of Strange Antiquities has me curled up and yawning at 7:30pm and it's only when the heater turns off that I realize the background music is soft lulling piano and a gentle thunderstorm

battery backup for the computer in this office losing power, intermittent inconsistent beeping. going to overstep my role and get under the desk like a mechanic to disassemble it with my bare hands.

Eva is short for Evarything To Me

I want to hang out with a cat for a weekend but the 5 cats I know personally are owned by my beautiful friends who are convinced that their cat has unique feline travel anxiety and will hate visiting me :(

there is no rooftop high enough nor could I ever shout loud enough to express the sheer love and respect I have for crossing guards

it's getting to the point where I'm excited for -25⁰ (feels like -32⁰) because I can blamelessly and shamelessly cancel all my plans that involve leaving my house

she star in my valley till I dew

As the year of the snake comes to a close we shed our old ways and gallop forward into the year of the horse!

my mod team asked me to take on the role of Task Master (affectionately, Submission Mistress) to ensure all the research tasks were completed. 94/95 (98.9%) tasks have been completed, with the outstanding one on-campus and out of my locus of control. This is fine. Why wouldn't it be?

Cardinality did such a beautiful, good job of MITMH this year. I've been doing tasks and quests for two days. I'm in my bliss like never before.

living with a bunny has illuminated for me exactly what it would be like to have Navi follow me around, if she were an oval who was always a little bit mad at me

I keep saying things like, "unlocked a new level of cozy" & think I've peaked but then I'll have a day like today and realize the cozy I've yet to experience is a beautiful sprawling range of mountain peaks ahead of me. I'm also napping in all the valleys too

new tier unlocked: recognized by the staff at the humane society

simmering my new years resolutions on low heat until they caramelize

it didn't work

this morning I confiscated ant poison from a squirrel, and opened a fortune cookie for 8 sparrows. the fortune read, "Be cautious of the next turn."

I could pick a card, any card, from a standard, freshly opened 52 deck and still somehow pull Temperance

why is it that laundry has a final boss phase after wash and dry. and why does it take two weeks to do a final knockout blow that costs me less than an hour of my life

🛡️ ⚔️

well. it's time. how do i set my tree up and bunny-proof it against little wandering angels who long to consume wires at any cost

We’re ready for your on-boarding, @officialpax.bsky.social ! Why not start your workday with a visit to the Puzzle Room (118C)?

A 1:1 supervisor to employee ratio at the greatest company in the world. Now hiring puzzle solvers: only at Pax Unplugged.

packing for Pax Unplugged as if I'm going to Australia for six weeks, not two states down for four days

all I have going for me is my wit, charm, confidence, and familiarity. unfortunately this will not be enough to prevent me from being fed to the wolves, who have sensed my lack of ease and my facade of nonchalance

finding out that all the emails I ignored from my building are actually about a full day water shut-off actually resulted in a very productive catch-up on dishes and filling 10 mason jars with drinking water

what does it mean when you light a candle with the intention to unwind and shortly thereafter the candle jar shatters? was the candle acting in self-defense or did my stress resonance break 550Hz?

messages that you could receive from a lover, a therapist, or a swim instructor

the early bird would get the worm but I'm out there even earlier, picking them up off the sidewalks and depositing them back into the grass

surely having to watch a second baseball game is sufficient penalty

local creature ♡

yes it's a crime but have the authorities considered that it's extremely cool to have successfully pulled off a jewel heist from a famous museum in broad daylight

if i had known i was going to be up until 1am i would have lit a candle. not in mourning or anything, just because it's time for my apartment to smell like autumn

the Muppets have been real quiet since the Louvre heist

desperately trying to remember who told me kale could be added to a smoothie because I only now realize they are my sworn enemy and architect of all misery

it's cold enough now i am finally nestling in for the winter. there's a hint of a chill in the air. blankets are spawning on all furniture. soup

important: just went from cozy couch to hot shower to warm bed. all before 9pm. luxurious

waiting 40 minutes for a subway while at the furthest, darkest, spookiest reaches of the TTC line is another of gods little tests for me. if I pass all of them I think I get immortality or Rapture 2, which I've been told happens after the first one

fucked up how getting out and meeting cool people makes you feel good

If I wasn’t meant to store stuff in my cleavage, it wouldn’t be called a rack

cry havoc and let slip the frogs of war

home early for the weekend, irreplaceable core memory forming as my parents debate the merits of each type of apple in a very serious best apple contest

love unsubscribing from emails. i rebuke thee: fuck off

spring cleaning vibes in the autumn, temperature went below 10⁰ once briefly and I'm already nesting in for the winter

trying to suss out the root cause of my anxiety by eating vegetables, drinking water, having a shower, cleaning my apartment, and taking a nap only to consider that I might actually be genuinely anxious this time

pulling an all-nighter in your 30s is much better than in university. not just because they paid me to do it, but now I have an expansive list of almost incoherent google search tabs open that I can try to archaeologically exhume and analyze

i got good and locked tf in but now I'm experiencing The Consequences (high risk of foster fail)

it is reassuring to know you can always intersect two lines by tipping them towards each other. you can also tip them away from each other, but then you will have to go back the way you came to see it work out properly. still there, though.
