I've spent a MONTH looking for my stapler. I was this close to hitting JetPens and getting a cool Japanese stapler that I would have to special order staples for (but worth it). I mean, I found it, just now, on the floor under a box. I guess I needed to clean sooner. But go me! I cleaned!

Ugh I really don't like this www.cnet.com/tech/service...

This is the 21st century, can you PLEASE GODDAMN not address me as Mrs. Husband's Name fucking well EVER.

This is a very important holiday, folks. NOM.

Someone lost their knitting WIP bag and is desperate to knit. Yes, it's me, I'm someone. Fuck, if I have to start a new WIP I'm going to be really mad. It will have to be a washcloth or something stupid simple like that.

I will not spoil the whole film but I was very satisfied with a large portion of it.

Horror Movie Heroine: "I don't want to be your psychotic patient. I just want to be your wife!" Horror Movie Weird Dude: "You are my patient. And you are my wife. And your psychosis is getting better!" Me: "My dude, you had better be the villain of this story because GROSS.

If you're telling me your linen isn't machine-washable, Banana Republic, and is hang-dry only, I'm wondering what's up with your linen, also, this is the Midwestern US, have you ever tried to line-dry anything in humidity?

I'm purging old/unneeded emails and I feel personally called out by the number of late notices the library has sent me. Which, fair, but also.

Do you need some cosy fantasy reading? (I do. I always do.) Today (May 8th) is the Cozy the Day Away sale. 100+ books on sale, great options for filtering by other genre aspects and representation, and multiple formats on offer. cozyfantasysale.promisepress.org

how is it my responsibility to find a file attachment that I sent you three months ago in this same goddamn email chain?

Do I have time to find fabric and make a linen chemise? No. Am I going to suck it up and make one because half the chemises on Etsy look iffy and 90% of the big companies out there only sell linen blends? I mean, probably? Maybe? I don't have time for anything but I'd like to try.

just because something is etymologically related doesn't mean it has the same meaning. it's similar in meaning. it's got the same roots. but it's not the SAME. fucking. word. fucking linguistic nuance, people. signed, a logophile, not a linguist

if you're some rando on the internet citing the Federal rules of evidence, I expect an ACTUAL STATUTE and probably also case law to back that shit up, otherwise I don't believe a) your assertion or b) that you work in law or even c) have you ever met a goddamn lawyer?

Watching the old Batman animated series and I sometimes wonder why self-defense courses weren't mandated starting in, idk, early grade school for the everyday Gothamite

When you start having that speakerphone conversation about a personal, painful subject at a coffee shop, I wonder if the person you're speakerphone chatting with knows you're airing their breakup feelings to EVERYONE AT THE COFFEE SHOP.

I am begging you, if you teach yoga, FACE THE CLASS and KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN. also give OPTIONS. especially for someone who has just showed up for the first time. especially if you throw balance stuff at someone and you don't know what they know what the ACTUAL fuck.

I realize this is the world's most boring adult post, but my pricey biodegradable toilet bowl cleaner went from 32 oz to 24 and up in cost. Loving the affordable world we're living in. I just want to clean my house without too much horror or expense. Why is it so hard?

This Hulu ad showing up on Instagram today was adding insult to injury. Wth.

What the actual fuck. I'm getting Farscape season 4 cancellation vibes. I'm getting "kill this fucking show dead so the fans stop bringing it back from death" Forever Knight vibes. I'm getting "fuck the PTB" vibes. Oh wait, that's my every day vibe.

Me: I'll just go check that on my laptop. Also Me: I forgot what I was going to check on my laptop in the appx 1 minute it took me to get into the room and unlock my laptop. Whoops

I have apparently been leaning on my arm all wrong. Again. By which I mean, I'm leaning on it at some kind of an age. Just, you know, any kind where you don't have 1 in front of it. This time I haven't strained my collar bone. Nope, this time it's my elbow and my thumb. Why are bodies.

My doctor is really great 95% of the time, but today she failed the food choice test. Seriously. It's okay if I eat dried fruit with no added sugars. Even if it's "processed." Or Chinese food because they add a lot of veg to the dishes. Even if they add oils.

Perhaps the secret to giving good feedback on other people's writing is to quit saying what you want it to be and instead say simply what it is, what you perceive on the page in front of you.

I think part of the problem is the audience lacks understanding of what therapy actually is. Which is tied to a lack of understanding that a reason for bad behavior isn't the same thing as carte blanche for a character to never face consequences for it. 🧵

this is the kind of legislative glory I want from IL the Italian beef is a fantastic sandwich, no lie, and deserves the official state sandwich designation

www.chicagotribune.com/2026/02/23/w... What the actual fuck, WGN. And I note the union steward "just happened" to be one of the laid off roles. What a stunning coincidence. 😡

Me: Oh new fic featuring this insanely rare f/f pairing! Also Me (within 30 seconds): Oh damnit, someone does not understand at least half of this insanely rare f/f pairing. I'll probably read it anyway and complain the entire time.

Unwelcome is chock full of triggers (it's folk horror, after all), but it has Hannah John-Kamen of Killoys AND Jamie-Lee O'Donnell of Derry Girls and how can you go wrong with that casting? You cannot. You really cannot.

omfg I tried to go to a new coffee place and they didn't open until NINE I just want a goddamn non-big chain non-Starbucks option to run to before work

A lot of the blank "bot" accounts people get followed by are one of these networks! This thread explains what they are and how they operate; a lot of them follow starter packs to make the accounts look more real.

I have a $3 Kindle credit (yes I know but work with me here), anyone have a rec for sci fi, fantasy, or horror to throw at me so I can use it up? Does not have to be under $3.

Me: Oh, lovely, a new museum! Also Me: Oh, how elitist, a museum only open to private group tours during the weekday for $250. I guess at least that's a group price. But uh. How do they stay open?

Have you ever read a novel and said, "Honey, lemme copyedit that for you. I'm begging for a crack at that punctuation!" Alas, the premise was good, but the grammar fell just short of the writing. Especially the commas. Oh, the commas.

today started out bonkers. with a dozen open parking spots around me someone tried to back into the one I was standing in as I was getting my bag out of the passenger seat. lady, getting a direct line to the parking garage exit isn't that critical no matter how much you hate your job.

So uh. I guess there will be a Practical Magic 2. I loved Practical Magic so, so much, it's a forever comfort watch. But. I'm not sure how I feel about this news.

I just tried to go to 3 separate indie coffee shops to write at. All 3 were closed. Chains it is, I guess. 😭

Well if there’s one good thing, we’ve learned over the last few decades that people always embrace the US and democracy after their leaders are removed by the US military. So this should work out — hold on, I’m getting an update …

How is it that I find the Five Nights at Freddy's film is kind of mediocre, but I'm enjoying the hell out of Willy's Wonderland, the Nic Cage ripoff which was created in all its sepia-toned glory?

I need a new computer, cannot put it off much longer, and I 100% hate researching this stuff.

I just corrected someone about a historical fact on reddit. Like, a big, basic one. Someone's going to @ me over that real soon. I know I should block and move on, I do! But sometimes Well Akshully Angel on my shoulder wins out over Let It Go Angel.

Self, you have plenty of Steam games you haven't played yet. Just wishlist the new-to-you game that's 33% off, it'll go on sale again. It's Steam.

I just want one. ONE. coffee shop that's not an Insta-decor monstrosity of echoing noise and impossible temperature control.

"Good luck finding me irl with that info," you say, Super Aggro Tumblrina New To DW when you intro yourself on the 50+ yo fandom comm, but you assume that we might actually WANT to find you after a single post, which uh. Adorable assumption right there.

everything aches and I need chocolate. which is not that far away, thankfully. but leaning.

I'm trying to read my Blades in the Dark rulebook and it's both too early and I'm too undercaffeinated for this shit

There IS NO GIF of Devil Hunter Yohko. That I can find. God I gotta see if I can find it in an updated and watchable format other than my old, super pricey 90s-era VHS tapes.

Ankles were a mistake. An abomination. A crime against existence. Possibly all of embodiment too.

If there's one meta/debate I'm sick as fuck of in fandom, it's the "liking m/m is misogynist" or "not liking f/f is misogynist" or whatever it is this time. Just. No. Neither is more or less misogynist or feminist. Just goddamn ship what makes you happy.

I cannot un-hear the "um" that this writer is using every 3-4 words while guesting on this podcast. Great writer, terrible speaker. I'm only going moderately insane on a perfectionist level about it, I swear.
