Rhysie's Buffalo show was so fun!!! A bit different from the Toronto show -- I think he was more restricted in time bc I saw the 1st of 2 shows in a row. I had a Gentleman Pirate shot!! Someone in front bought one for Rhys and he didn't know about it and he was so excited 😅

I'm ready for Rhysie! I forgot it was a food and drink place so I'm not wearing my mask, in case you think you see me but are confused by my naked face 🤣

Gettin' some Tomodachi Life in before I leave for Buffalo to see Rhys 😅

Okay, people going to see Rhys in Buffalo, do we want to have a meetup outside the show? Maybe an early dinner on Sat? (I propose Hombre y Lobo for a restaurant near-ish the venue but open to w/e!)

My radio station (that I'm listening to while sitting in my car waiting for my blood sugar to go up before driving) says today is Impersonate An Authority Figure Day. Something something pirates, an excellent day, something something.

I've started doing Robert's Rules in my own head. "Motion to move tools to nightstand drawer." "Seconded. Argument for: I'll remember where to find them." "Argument against: That's where I keep my favorite sex toys, that's weird." "Direct response: I always clean them before putting them back." ...

Last night: meeting & socializing. Tonight: laundry. Tomorrow night: gig. Friday night: Rhysie! Saturday: another gig, and hopefully socializing with crew if not also seeing Rhysie again. Sunday: Sleep like the dead. Possibly wake up for a zoom meeting but don't put any fucking money on it.

Couldn't get up in time to shower before work, so Let's Get Ready To Suffer!

I'm so happy my supervisor is coming back tomorrow, I tried to do both of our jobs when she was out for 3 days, and guess what, I fell behind AND got stressed out! Because why would any company hire enough people to cover for sick days and vacations 🙃

QRP with your pride flags! (These are just my most specific 😅)

Not knowing this was why I considered myself "basically straight" until I was 33. I thought bi just meant the one at 12:00. I was kinda more like the one at 10:00, or 4:00 before I started really deconstructing comphet. I also didn't know bisexuality was even a thing until I was a teenager.

My 7th grade (12yo) social studies (read: history) teacher appalled/terrified me on two occasions... because I'm long-winded, I'll give each a reply post:

My qobuz playlist on shuffle just played "Because the Night", like it Knows

📢 CONSTELLATIONS ARE FAKE BUT STARS ARE REAL!!!!!!!!

My cousin's wife posted a video of the whole family standing around the table singing "happy birthday" to their kid, and everyone else is standing normally, and I'm swaying like a pendulum that goes clockwise & counter-clockwise instead of left & right. HOW DID NO ONE CLOCK THE AUTISM 🤣🤣🤣

I'm so sleeeeepy but I have stuff to do before I can go to bed 😭 I can't just take a quick lil nap, that's the devil talking, my body is not capable of such a thing. I will wake up at 3am.

And Viago was inspired by Taika's mum, so... new Rhyikaverse pairing? 👀

Saturday morning success!! Got books for little cousin (I was there for story time, but it wasn't super crowded and was very cute to listen to) and stopped at the co-op for some cheeky groceries (pancake balls and maple yogurt?! 🤤), and back in plenty of time for Rhysie Con! 🤗 And NO eye itching!!

Ughhhhh, I tried to go to the indie kids' bookstore for my little cousin's bday present last night but they closed early, so I figured I'll go today when they open at 10. They have story hour at 11 which will be very distracting (it's a tiny space), and I have Rhysie Con at 1...

They're also on sale in the US with half-off shipping! If you ever see me and think "damn those are some cool tights", they're Snag tights. I'll shill for them for free.

Omg so I sent Ed on a trip to space (and he took the rest of the house) in Tomodachi Life, and there was a long credits roll after the trip photos it said "THE END" on the top and I was so worried it was ending my game for me and I'd have to start a whole new island, but I guess not, it's fine!!

This shit was $27 and worth every penny, holy fuck 😭

I cut into my lunch (cheese sausages), and... 👀👀👀

Btw, if I end up on my apartment floor having stabbed myself in the eye and slowly bled to death, this is why.

So I'm in a local mutual aid Signal chat, and someone texted with their full name and clear face in profile pic... and it's the pediatric endocrinology nurse practitioner I saw from ages 8 to 21 😅🤯 That's wiiiiiiild. She was one of the most important ppl in my life for a long time.

Respectively... 1. Ed and Stede 2. Ed and Izzy 3. Anyone in Garlic Soup and Jim 4. Basically anyone and Lucius

If I'm sending a business email to a Japanese person at a Japanese company, in English (in reply to an email in good English), is it cool for me to address them as [surname]-san? With Americans and Europeans I usually just use first name, but I'm not sure if that's cool either. Both feel weird.

This is tonight!

Yep, it's grass pollen season. Left my windows open last night (not even in my bedroom, in my living room) and woke up with an itchy face & hard palate. Time to close windows and turn on ac even though it's a perfect open-windows temp 😑🤧

As a thanks to crew for helping get me insulin pump supplies, I'm gonna post a smattering of screenshots from my tomodachi life game in this thread! (Did I just figure out where they were saved? Would I do it anyway? Yeah, but shhh just let me Calypso you!)

Thank you to everyone who shared and/or donated!!!!! I am currently funded through mid-September 🥹💖

this is my favorite "Mary and Ed meet and talk about Stede" fanart

I think AuDHD is also telling someone else, "this is hard, I can't do it," and then suddenly you're able to it. Reverse pathological demand avoidance???

AuDHD is writing down your 13-step, 8-tool plan for making fried rice. Which you have made multiple times before. But your executive is dysfunctioning. And you're still looking at your list on the couch while your tummy rumbles with hunger.

Soooo I know we're all fucking going through it rn, but if you can't donate, could you help share my gfm for insulin pump supplies with folks who might be able to? 👉🏻👈🏻 #t1d #type1diabetes #t1diabetes #mutualaid gofund.me/2ab0f0229

Let's try the cracking eggs to-do list thing for my long weekend! 🥚dishes 🥚cook fried rice 🥚read article for socialist reading group 🥚attend socialist reading group 🥚attend socialist zoom meeting 🥚finalize plans for Rhysie in Buffalo 🥚buy tix " " " " 🥚put steel wool in wall cracks to keep mice out

This looks promising, but I'm skeptical... this study was done in Sweden, which is probably why it was able to happen. But the more news about a potential cure gets around, it seems pharmaceutical and medical tech companies fight back harder against giving funds to cure research.

In other news, "Peaches" by The Presidents of the United States of America still absolutely fucking hits 30 years later.

OH, and I finally got the final denial of my pump supplies that actually work! (But only via phone, bc the letter is still in the mail a week later??) And I asked the insurance if I could get a list of "plan exceptions" (the reason for the denial), and got a flat "no, not possible".

This is based on recommendations from the US Preventive Services Task Force, which have no exceptions for people w/family history but no genetic markers. Insurance said if they re-submitted it as diagnostic rather than preventive, it could be covered. They won't do that because it's fraud! (1/2)

Oh, good! Now I'm getting a bill for my mammogram THREE MONTHS AGO because I'm "too young" for them to pay for it (even though my mom's had breast cancer twice and my dad's mom died from it)!! Fuuuuuck come on now I have to do a whole thing with insurance AGAIN.

My cousin's kid is turning 5 and I don't know what to get her. She's currently in a princess phase. Suggestions welcome (I only have like a week) 😅

This is a cat checkpoint; relinquish your most recent cat picture in your phone.

my constant mood lately is "I'm pissed off that all the coolest people I know & love are forced to struggle because a bunch of self-absorbed assholes built the world wrong"

My lizard brain: You should go to Aldi and get more of those chocolate peanut butter frozen banana slices. My frontal lobe: Haha yeah they were good. I've got enough ice cream for now though. LB: Yeah... be a shame if that... disappeared... 👀 FL: ...What? LB: (reaches for a spoon)... oops 😈

this was HR 2616 which also bans books by or about trans and nonbinary people from schools START CALLING YOUR SENATORS NOW CIS FRIENDS TRANS KIDS NEED YOU

Anywho, now I have to cut my nails because if I don't, they will tippy-tap on top of my trumpet valves, making tonight's band rehearsal a two-hour sensory nightmare!

Finally did this! Please Americans do this and go the fuck off.
