Hill: in a broader sense tho Hill: the real question is Hill: is it morally justified to murder evil people? Mary Shelley: yeah Hill: well wait just a second mary you haven't heard all the caveats yet Shelley: i said what i said

Today a campus-wide email went out, beginning with “Please join me in congratulating [my name here] on their new role” Apart from the promotion, having a department/supervisor that’s already taken the time to know and respect me hits all the feel-good parts of my brain

CHAUNCEY IS BACK this is as close as I can get for now

Tonight’s supper was leftover chicken schnitzel over leftover spaghetti in a thick meat sauce with a Kraken-spiked Baja Blast Mountain Dew and I’m watching Thirteen Ghosts of Scooby Doo.

Maybe one day I’ll have the courage to hit but until then I’ll spend my two Saturday tokens wisely Looking forward to what Moo has in store for us!!

I was invited to pet a dog at work today, and that made today so much better.

There's no time like the present to tell people you love them, or to follow a ghostly pale fox into the old forest and begin a new life among the wild folk of the wood. Or you could do both. It's up to you.

this was a really good week for me; won’t you share it with me for a few minutes?

I just published a new blog post . . . ready for it? Of course you are; read on!

Slightly diminish a book: The Average Gatsby

I don’t often have a life hack, but today I do. Okay, maybe it’s more a personal endorsement, but be that as it may: Get a TubShroom. Seriously. I bought one in January and the amount of hair it’s stopped from going down the drain makes me wonder how our drains haven’t been constantly clogged.

It was announced in my department meeting yesterday so I think it’s okay today to tell you here that I received a promotion that comes with a title change, small pay bump, a different workspace, and rewritten job duties that accurately reflect my work. Many people advocated for me; I am grateful.

I looked at the weather to see what kind of shirt I needed to wear today the high will be 69 nice

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, DC, Marvel, Disney, Pixar, Spielberg, Cameron, Wachowskis, or Ghibli.

Chili and Twin Peaks

Like a crow collecting shiny things, I’ve collected quite a few memories this week: some chaos, some creativity, a questionable kitchen decision (?) and at least one excellent outfit choice. Pull up a chair and catch up with me . . .

holy smokes was this even better than I thought yes: was

And a surprise breakfast skillet: fried ham topped with sausage gravy and scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese and cornbread on top of that

Did a bit of cleaning, started a crock pot of meat-and-bean chili, enjoying some tunes along with a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch

I went I ate I answered trivia questions correctly and was told I was wrong (I was not wrong) I took fun photos I ate cake I took more fun photos I came home I made a gin and tonic I’ve put Murder She Wrote on the TV . . .

all dressed up with somewhere to go

✅ car inspection ✅ car taxes ✅ therapy ✅ lunch and tonight - a masquerade!

Woke up this morning wanting to write But I must work Here’s hoping the desire (and the energy) last to this evening

If you see this, post something orange from your gallery Perhaps a bit on the nose, but . . .

A look back at the week as best I can remember it

Today I tried three times to wash one pan and finally did it on the fourth try. That’s what today has been like.

A look back at the week as best I can remember it

Last night I heard multiple people compliment my wife about how good she is managing shows for our local theatre and how infectiously positive she is and how the folks speaking want to spend more time around her and I am SO DAMN PROUD

First attempt at blackout poetry

It’s good to have a toilet that doesn’t leak water when you flush and an AC unit that doesn’t blast the emergency heat when it’s supposed to be cool air

Last night my wife and I went to Applebees and our server came up and said “good evening ladies, how are we tonight?” and my brain shut off from the sudden joy Couldn’t tell me nothin’ the rest of the night and still riding that joy this morning

Yes! Logged in this morning to find 30+ notifications and 25 of them were things I had already seen in some shape or form.

I have a not-totally-irrational fear that he will visit my place of employment

Since we’re all making fun of Rod Dreher, I think about this at least once a week

My wife had a party she went to at 5:00 At 3:30 she asked if I could bake lemon bars I could not (time; ingredients) but I made coffee-raspberry brownies instead; they were still warm when I wrapped them up and sent them on their way She has just sent me a text to say they are gone Huzzah

A. Yes B. It means (a) I am neither male nor female as commonly defined or described and (b) neither do I align (for lack of a better word) with a given gender. C. See (B) D. By definition I am trans, but it is not a primary descriptor I would use for my gender identity

Went looking for this for a different reason and realized that I’ve come really really close on some of these predictions while being off just enough so as not to count them

Do you dare to enter tower esh redrum and read the journal of nearly-forgotten things? (in other words: please read my blog post in which I try to catch you up on the last two weeks)

Artemis& Diana& Dewi Ratih& Mawu& Ix Chel& Luna& Carroll

Back in March I bought some Guinness-flavored potato chips. I just now found them (well before the expiration date). The first ten or so were okay and then my brain went “Guinness shouldn’t crunch” and it was all over. The Sour Cream and Shamrock chips were better, like a mild sour cream and onion.

Dear Bluesky - when I’m done looking at someone’s picture that they posted, I’d like to go back to where I was in the feed, not back to the top. Please and thank you.

My Chemical Romance

I have an Iranian friend I met through our mutual watching of the tv show Supernatural. They never posted much but I truly hate looking at the “last active” counter and wondering if it will ever reset I hate the folks responsible with the energy of ten thousand suns

Pope Deepdish should excommunicate All of the US until he's forced out of office

I am home and have acquired the Comfy Clothes and will avoid the doomscrolling by watching TOWER ESH REDRUM* on my phone *let the anagram lovers understand

Today is a day when none of my shirts feel right and everything is irritating and I just want to wear one of my safe, comfy hoodies 😩
