cannot believe some of my coworkers. i told them our admin is out sick today and what do they do? call her personal cell to bug her into logging on at 5:15pm so we can do one tiny task that could have absolutely waited til tomorrow. client be damned, we do not need to guilt trip our sick teammates.

“so i talked to the ai to ask about…” nah bro you didn’t talk to anyone, you used a tool and personified it

brought my king gizz 2023 residency tote bag to work and immediately found out that two guys i’ve worked with for a while are also gizzheads / general psychedelic rock fans. nice to break the monotonous workday by getting to brag how many times i’ve gotten to see them yet again lol.

i have scheduled weekly check-in meetings with my teammates at work called “touchpoints” but now i’m thinking of changing the title simply because i had the cursed thought of saying “hey, are your free to touch points rn?”

pokopia looks so neat but jfc i don’t want to buy a switch2 just for pokemon games

aww my boss told me not to be stressed, how cute 🫠

the wind has changed, or maybe just my tack (idk sailing terms) - radio eyewear is doing a 50% off site wide sale and i’m majorly tempted to finally grab a pair of the field of vision shades 🫣

barlic gutter been greans

please… someone tell me life will go on even if i don’t buy a giraffe lamp and/or one to two alligator rugs… i love them sm but i hate the idea of material frivolous spending AND adding clutter to my home right now 😭

jesus christ youtube’s autoplay is out of CONTROL, what do you MEAN the feature length film pitch perfect 3 is up next in seven seconds??? ABORT ABORT ABORT

spent all weekend doing stuff that makes me think too hard, and tonight i gotta grocery shop which just makes my head hurt in a different way. brain is feeling wrung out dry lately, and that’s just accounting for the mundanities.

it’s dnd one-shot night, you know what that means: PLANT A MAGIC BEAN IN THE PISS AND EYEBALLS CAULDRON YOU COWARD

wow, another banger, another banger starter trio by pokemon (except the name browt, not sure about that one yet)

i actually love being the baby builder of a minecraft server. you’re building a parthenon-like temple? a tower whose top is higher than clouds? a nether minecart transit system? that’s all so so awesome guys. i’m making picnic tables. my keyboard is on my lap and cats are trying to sit on my mouse.

not me seeing this image, freaking out, and messaging a friend who loves closure in moscow as much as i love the dear hunter just to notice the asterisk on the atlanta date after sending the hype alert message 🫠

oh man, it just clicked that i used to listen to ben howard in high school when the album every kingdom came out, and then completely forgot about him when i started listening to metal. good and cool to know that’s one more on the sk26 lineup that i’d love to see live.

wrong on both counts, fuck you guys on r/shakyknees for getting my hopes up lol

fun fact: did you know the wording of the dungeons and dragons 2014 edition spell “ceremony” for clerics and paladins has no specified number of spouses allowed to participate in the “wedding” option?

shaky knees lineup comes out tomorrow… 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 SOAD headliner 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯

this image, created 20+ years ago in MS Paint, is infinitely more beautiful than anything "AI" could create

me on the outside: yes coworker, I CAN help you with that problem right now!! me on the inside: whywhywhywhywhywhywhywhywhywhywhywhywhywhyWHYWHYWHYWHYWHY WHY AM I THE POINT OF CONTACT FOR A PROJECT I KNWO NOTHING ABOUT, WHY AM I ON THIS MEETING, WHY AM I BEING ASKED ABOUT THIS DOCUMENT WHHHYYYYY

okay so maybe it’s just cavs dropping some news tom, but i’ll be damned if the dear hunter aren’t announcing either a follow-up album for antimai or possibly even another short film à la cycle 8 (hoping for both, greedily)

king gizz and the dear hunter both about to drop something new, i shall soon THRIVE

i’m such a dumbass. ever since this post 5 months ago i’ve gotten back into foxy shazam kinda a lot. so someone tell me why, when they announced their upcoming tour months ago, i decided to wait and wait and wait to buy tickets to their show here next week UNTIL THEY’RE SOLD THE FUCK OUT.

GRANDMASTER II!!!!!!!

just participated in my first secret lair drop/queue and it might be my last as well, thankfully @theporkofcrime.bsky.social got the cards i wanted most bc they sold out right as i hit pay on my cart. but holy hell, i hate the capitalist fomo sales tactic!! just go back to print to demand pleeeeease

happy friday drink your juice

hey guys i am a huge fan of both kglw and allowing my brain to rot while watching creators such as markiplier play games then post it online for money, but if i see one more of the same joke about how he made his movie about the gizz song iron lung i might just lose it

20 days til… something???? what a delicious tease this is

huge huge shout out to the lovely folks at Book Palace. my order with them got mislabeled with the wrong delivery address when it was passed from international handling to usps, but they worked to make sure the book didn’t get shipped BACK OVERSEAS or OUTRIGHT DESTROYED bc that’s an option to usps!!

shut up, even smosh is getting onto the MtG train now because ecl is so fucking good, wowowowow never would’ve predicted this one

turns out i hate perpetual group chats. only took me two decades or so to determine this, but almost every day i resist the urge to reply to so many people with this image, doubly so if they post some off-topic shit in a discord/slack with focused channel topics.

y’all one of my favorite coworkers announced her retirement at the end of march 🫠 this woman is essentially the secret super glue holding together half our program, she’s one of the favorites of our client, and i am already dreading work without her around. nobody i know deserves retirement more 🥲

i suck at magic lol

met a gizzhead at the elc prerelease, magic is a good hobby i guess

the dear hunter is releasing renderings of each of the rings of antimai and i may or may not be saving every single post as inspiration for a ttrpg mini-campaign i’ve been telling myself to write for a looooooong time, THIS RULES AND TDH RULES AND IF ANY OF IT IS GENAI I’LL GO ON A VIOLENT RAMPAGE

band is trying to arrange 4-6 new covers in time for a casual on-theme valentine’s day show and it’s taking all of me to not suggest this, even facetiously music.youtube.com/watch?v=KP_f...

another week, another bout of anxiety caused by my condo building’s doltish management

shout out to whoever dropped their full bottle of fake piss in the whole foods parking deck, good luck on your drug test mysterious stranger, you’ll clearly need it

“look at all you lil guttation guys!” - something i genuinely just said aloud to my plants after finding droplets on my snowdrift philo, baby monstera, and golden pothos

i’m not usually one for annual resolutions, but i have one specific to work that i genuinely want to keep: i resolve to attempt to de-program my coworkers who feel that weekend work is necessary for our jobs and to constantly remind them that relaxation is crucial to productivity, not more busywork.

new comic monday 🧠

it is unfortunately happening quicker than expected… did well at an eoe draft on saturday but could not stick it out to the final round because it didn’t start until like 2am. i’ve been stewing all week over whether or not my simic insects + swarmyard deck could’ve won the whole bracket. harumph.

christmas eve went from pleasant day to unmitigated disaster so fast that we booked a slightly earlier return home today just cuz. me and that bitch xmas are beefing now, gonna seize the rest of december, short though it may be, and dedicate its sole purpose to regulating our joy and mental health.

still waiting for two packages, but even without those gifts in hand my stress is beginning to shift from “will they arrive in time” to “did i get the right gifts”. i actually kinda hate gift giving because of this feeling, even if it’s a slam dunk, and the holidays just condense that stress.

More children’s art at the San Diego Bay wildlife refuge. The kids get involved, they learn, they go home and maybe teach their parents.

every year i tell myself to start my xmas shopping earlier. i kinda did it this year, but we’re seeing one family for early xmas this weekend. which means i’m still in danger of my gift orders not arriving in time for us to give them. ugh. 😑

the plumbers who said they weren’t coming back til next week showed back up today… they found the major leak source in one of the building’s water mains (so a common utility, not residents’ responsibility) after cutting into our neighbor’s bathroom wall!!! slight silver lining that it wasn’t ours 😮‍💨

unfortunately it was not a quick fix and now we need our whole shower redone. about to enter a major home improvement phase of my life i guess 🥲🙃😅

if i had known i’d need to spend about $650 on a plumber today maybe i would’ve thought harder before buying two three day passes for king gizzard forest hills 2026 yesterday (no regrets)
