my day got off to a fucking shitty start because yesterday didn’t end until way the fuck too late as interstitial cystitis is fucking hell on sleep and I did not take a benadryl about it nearly soon enough, and two hours is not enough fuckin’ sleep.

anyway, I have had two drinks and a smol meal and my brain has decompressed enough I don’t want to scream, maybe tomorrow I *will* be able to actually do housework. because fuck knows I have a godawful shitton of housework that needs done, sigh.

My fucking brain is mush, doing budgets with dyscalculia is *really* fucking miserable when your ADHD is ALSO unmedicated and as a result you have a short/term memory of about 0.34 seconds. Thank all fucking fuck for Excel doing math and checking shit for me.

You know what, I’ve been staying the hell out of the current discourse and I think I’m gonna keep right on doing that because literally no one on this website can be normal about anything. Catch y’all around tomorrow, I’ve got ordering to do today at work and that always eats my day anyway.

The earrings I picked up at the Native American art fair I went to last weekend with @jmtorres.bsky.social, the necklace is costume jewelry I picked up in my teens I have no idea where. It’s nice to have a good match for earrings for it, I haven’t worn it much in years because I didn’t!

tfw your brain hands you a way to tell at least a bit of the the horrible twelve-dimensional chess and fluid internal identity spy story through an outsider POV with only, like, five- or six- dimensional chess, as you’re waking up from extremely weird dreams.

the heart of the popularity of fandom_wank and its various successors, distilled into 16 words. damn.

Very fancy potato bear postcard from my collection, unsent and date unknown.

OKAY, I have written up and submitted my donation form and bio for @romancingthevote.com! When I have auction links, I will definitely let you all know where you can go bid on an hour of me being a worldbuilding nerd for your benefit once everything goes live. :D

sigh. battery on the car died. well, it’s been two years since we bought the damn thing, and that’s Arizona for you. yay for AAA roadside assistance, they have replaced the damn battery. the fun question now is whether the battery being iffy is what cut the sound on the infotainment system out.

I’ve worn this pendant with these earrings before but the gem chain is new! The chain actually came with a sunburst pendant that I adore but I like the chain a lot too, it looks nice with several of my wire work pendants.

I mean, really, what lesbian hasn't wanted to turn into a car about it?

Saturday’s pendant may be a little *too* well-matched to my shirt, I don’t think you can see the stone very much! But at least you can still see @lionesselise.bsky.social’s gorgeous wire work quite nicely.

His husband? A horse.

california, i am disappoint. i realise i am up mountain, which always has a super limited selection compared to down in the desert, but there was no quinoa to be had at the market?? multiple kinds of gluten-free pasta! no quinoa. or even couscous.

I overdid it like a motherfucker on Wednesday and I am sore as hell but I made it to chez @jmtorres.bsky.social safely and have slept the sleep of the very exhausted, showered, and am now out getting breakfast

thursday!niq is losing her fucking voice probably due to overdoing it wildly yesterday cleaning the kitchen because the hyperfocus kicked in badly (have I mentioned I fucking miss having ADHD meds that consistently work), but at least she has excellent jewellery.

i really fucking miss having adhd meds that work.

WELL THAT WAS FUN

sinuses were a mistake

on this note if you have a hair oil for wrangling braids you’d recommend, I desperately need to find something that isn’t *too* heavy that I can use after washing. I am very tired of it being at least a week after a wash before my scalp has produced enough oil that my hair is remotely manageable.

my hair is freshly washed which means it’s fraying from its braids like a motherfucker but at least i have good jewelry

I’m not dead, Merge Dragons just ate my brain and also all my screen time, jesus is that game a time sink.

shark day sucks and i am very over embodiment right now.

hey, US CripSky, does anyone else with a plus life have a solution for acquiring covid test cards? I’m nearly out and need more, and if I have to use ye olde canadian friend accepts deliver and reships it method, I will, but augh the executives do not wanna function for that if they do not have to

On a side note the one food on my ‘absolutely the fuck never, and I don’t care if it mortally offends my hosts’ is mammalian brains. Nope. We do not fuck with prions!

There isn’t anything on this list I won’t eat in some format but there’s a number that have significant caveats about prep, like mushrooms cannot be whole and preferably will be puréed or the fungal body removed entirely after the cooking has gotten the flavour, and there’s a number I’m not fond of.

Well that's definitely one way to solve bisexual invisibility

anyway, the reverse tail bandits have struck again, no feline is safe!

mostly weight gain and health monitoring with 6-12 week kittens is all the great and adorable parts of kittens and none of the exhausting ones, but the “socialising them to understand that human hands and feet are not for pouncing” is definitely my least favourite part of this age, sigh.

I was talking to @ilyenasylph.bsky.social on the phone yesterday and realised how almost *everyone* gets how Clark Kent/Superman *gets* to his failure of Ultraman in worlds where he didn’t have absolutely fucking excellent parents weong. Some of it is some writers don’t believe a paragon can exist…

I FIGURED OUT HOW TO MAKE A POWERED BIDET WORK IN THE DOWNSTAIRS BATH, even though we totally forgot to ask for an outlet in the relevant wall. (the wall already has one on the other side, we just need to cut the drywall and flip it.)

oh my god I just realised the #DCEAUoD’s North American Sportsball Leagues have a *way* worse problem with away fans at games being assholes because it’s so much easier to go TO an away game.

I have hit the point of exasperation with the current discourse of inflicting it on our self-inserts in the #DCEAUoD because it makes amuses me far more than the discourse itself does, lol

Coby the tiny torbie tyrant is doing very well indeed; she’s with us another week while we continue to monitor the bad eye but hopefully next Sunday when they recheck the eye pressure it’ll be normal and they won’t need to do any surgery, and she can graduate foster and go on to the adoption centre!

I have a mild headache and I can’t tell if it’s caffeine withdrawal, glasses/eye focusing fuckery, or what, so I am going the hell home early, but I continue to have excellent jewelry.

really, really not a fan of the fact that my new glasses are perfect for distance and they're fine for *close-up* but computer screen distance is fucked. fucking age-related presbyopia

i hate working saturdays, i really do. even when they’re quiet they have the worst fucking energy. but at least i have great jewelry.

Have you, like me, spent the last 26 years worrying if the Canadian Potato Museum STILL has the display of various potato diseases with potatoes in little coffins? Stop worrying. I checked today. Still there.

and something is out in my left foot. embodiment was a fucking mistake.

“where did you get your ivermectin” is the point at which I nope out of politely ignoring the people talking in the break room and just flee the fucking room i hate this reality, i hate RFK, i hate my fucking field sometimes, and It can happen any time now

unbothered, based, in my lane, debt free

Sweet iced black tea is terrible; if I want a bunch of sugar in a refreshing cool drink then I will just get some damn lemonade. And there is no preparation of okra that makes it anything other than texturally horrifying to me. If you like them, I’m glad for you! You can have all of mine.

I am randomly flushing horribly for no goddamn reason I can determine, and the diphenhydramine I can take is at home.

an extremely local breakfast! local eggs and locally churned butter (regular salted and fancy strawberry honey) and apple butter from the farmer’s market, bread from my local gf bakery. the only thing not local is the fancy truffle salt on the eggs! well, and the caffeine which came from black rock.

Good morning, True Color is going to be translated into RUSSIAN (!), so let me preemptively apologize to the translator for all the talk about "blue" and just "blue." Простите, Russian translator!

it's been a hot minute, so hey: ‪1 like = 1 line from a WIP! It might be Pacific Rim, #DCEAUoD, Dragon Age, or One Piece. you can reply with a fandom and hope for something, too! I've got so many. but those're the fandoms I've been active lately, heh.

me: wow, traffic is really light for a Monday! me: …because it’s a holiday, dumbass. EVERY FUCKING TIME

conversations I have actively taken part in the past 48 hours on bsky: - management of complicated personal familial dynamics - potato and its uses - linguistic analysis of swearing - congratulating someone on their joy in being their whole authentic self - the nature of the Appalachian mountains
