Car owners: Please, PLEASE learn to change your own cabin air filter and engine air filter. YouTube has tutorials, or I will come over and show you, myself. Mechanics LOVE telling you it costs $100 to do each, and in both cases, it's a $15-30 part you can swap out in 3 minutes.

Whew. First day was a little rough; was only scheduled til 9, but was stuck there til 10:18 cuz (a) they’re actually open til 9:30, and (b) it does not account for cleaning time. We still get paid, it’s just not scheduled in for some reason, which irritates me ~a lot.~ Massive pet peeve of mine.

Got to do a little work with @alisonleiby.bsky.social for the big GOTV rally at Kings Theater featuring headliners Zohran Mamdani and Bernie Sanders! Ilana hosted the hell out of it!!!! Solidarity forever!!! Photo credit: Sam Brooks

Putting together the Emberlings book (at last) and ran across this one. Odd, but not without charm.

I would like an iwata hvlp setup with a pace 36" spray booth....

I also want an ALPS printer

Whew. It’s done. The boss’ husband was the only one there, so I told him that I had to quit, and he looked confused but was mostly chill about it. Then he said to text the boss since I had to leave early today, so I did. She was pissed. Then she showed up half an hour later and told me to leave.

It’s truly crazy how many people say ~on bodycam~ after a horrific drunk driving accident, “I’m good at driving while intoxicated.” CLEARLY NOT.

Slept all right, but I’m too stressed. Gotta get through this morning and get home so I can take a nap, then I have the new job from 3-9PM tonight!

Did you check the armoire? I thought I saw it next to the joie de vivre

I could take Dostoyevsky in a fight. If I had to. Like if he turned into a zombie

Man, I need to go to sleep, but I’m amped about tomorrow. Just so many anxiety-inducing things to do all in one day. 😅😅

Well. It’s been clarified for me. The new job is nearly perfect on paper. It’s definitely worth it. I’ll have to quit the current place tomorrow. But maybe I can still work with them a bit, too, since I can’t give proper notice.

I’m feeling so torn right now. I had a good day at work today and the boss’ husband and I talked at the end of the day for like 45 minutes and are on the same page, but…let’s just say going forward, it’s gonna require a lot of patience and a lot of clarifying what people mean, which I find annoying.

You know, it really sucks being put in this position, cuz now the boss is being nice to me and talking to me with patience AFTER our confrontation. Passive aggressiveness doesn’t work when you’re the boss.

Slept really well! I’ve been taking Upstate Elevator’s CBD Deep Dreams capsules and they really help (until I get my real meds)!

Oh! I got my sleep study results back and I’m negative for sleep apnea, so I can FINALLY get back on the med that worked for me two years ago! 😭😭🥹🥹 I cannot WAIT for the appointment to confirm this with my doctor. 🙌🏻

BACKROOMS also reminded me of a game called Anatomy, where you walk through a house in first person finding creepy cassettes to listen to. You finish a cycle of cassettes, the game ends, then when you start again, the house is all distorted and Backrooms-y, with furniture sticking through walls.

I feel like I have a black cloud hanging over me until I get through tomorrow and Friday, but I put on Matt and Pat, and I get lost in the goofiness and forget my anxiety for a few minutes. Thank god for them. ♥️

finally saw something good on threads

It icks me so bad when people are eating on camera and they stick their tongue out a little before they put the food in their mouth, like they think they need to catch it on their tongue first. It looks like they’re gonna make out with their food and it really grosses me out, lol.

I cut up cucumbers, throw them in a bowl, cover them in my fave Italian dressing and have them as a delicious and light summer snack. And then I immediately regret it cuz I’m allergic. 😫

anyway, like we were saying when we warned that, as always, execs would learn the complete wrong lesson www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/dig...

So I’m scheduled the next few days at work, but I’m also scheduled at my new job (with the $4 raise), so I have to tell my first job that I quit after tomorrow, and they’re gonna be pissed. I feel a little bad, but in the end, I gotta look out for myself, cuz only I will.

If you see stuff about game studios shutting down right now and your first reaction is to go post your thoughts about how they deserved to fail for not making more commercial games, basically just fuck off. That's the only corrective action you can take. Fuck. Right. Off.

holy shit they actually did the thing

Daveigh Chase has passed away at 35. The actress was known for her performance in ‘The Ring,’ as well as voicing Lilo in ‘Lilo & Stitch’ and Chihiro in the English dub of ‘Spirited Away.’

Oh my god! 😭😭😭

"I had it in my mind that we—Black people—are on the forefront of fashion, and we’re on the forefront of hip-hop with new jack swing, [so] let’s also be on the visual forefront." For @letterboxd.social, I spoke with Mario Van Peebles about NEW JACK CITY, which is 35 this year.

The “secret” about Backrooms is that it’s just a good movie, by any yardstick. The way to replicate its success is to support & develop young writers & directors. And to give me a modest 5 million dollars to make my movie.

Had another interview and was offered the job on the spot! They’re so nice and I know I can learn a lot there, but it’s only $19 an hour - less than I’m making currently - and it’s only 32 hours a week, where I’m currently working 36-38 on average. Not sure if I can take it…

Yay! Court was super understanding. They said as long as I enroll in the deterrent program in the next sixty days, I’m fine. 😮‍💨

I have court in the morning and I so don’t wanna go. 😫

Looking forward to LEVITICUS coming out in theaters this Friday!! Gonna have to go sometime next week…

They put Gitaroo Man on PS5 and you should play it. On anything. I don't care how you play it, but they did put it on PS5.

Only now connecting dots between BACKROOMS and SILENT HILL 2; the backrooms seem to be physically influenced by the mind of the person that just entered, the monsters can be a manifestation of guilt or anger etc., even has a secondary character named Mary! I’m sure there’s more, quite interesting.

The problem is yall too worried about what others are doing with their own time and money

I'm trying to save to stay somewhere with working AC for however many days I can and have an even remotely comfortable place to work.

I don't think this is fair. I played basketball, not baseball, and we won every single game where I played somewhat definitively. I have also written poems, been on dates, and held jobs. I also run a company.

anyone wanna send me $20 so I can order curry?
