When you get the reputation of being the guy with the encouraging words on New Year's Eve, it can start to come through as a little pressure -- what if the situation on the ground is worse than usual? what if people are more scared than they usually are, and with cause? what use are good vibes then?

not too late for a flu shot btw, flu historically often peaks in february and by all accounts it is pretty bad this year

yes I’m happy to clarify. when I do it it’s called discourse. when you do it it’s running off at the mouth all wild style and whatnot. these are just technical terms

have been working on a sequel to Slippery When Wet and there are TWO chapters now, here's a link to the whole thing for those who may be interested. Title is Ed and Stede Hide a Body. You'll never guess what happens in it 😇 archiveofourown.org/works/754791...

Not ofmd-related but I knit this baby blanket for my sister's kid and ngl it's pretty sick.

last March when I donated a kidney I listened to Moon Colony Bloodbath on repeat in the hospital bc it was very chill and good for drowning out hospital noise. despite being done with streaming in general I wanted to see if this was reflected in my wrapped. and. well. yeah I think maybe it is.

Hey! It's natural to reflect on accomplishments this time of year, but remember that in this dumpster fire Year of Beyonce 2025, just surviving in a hostile world is a massive accomplishment. Kudos to you all, pocket pals! 💖💖💖

being back at work is really reminding me how much I enjoy not being at work.

wake up dead man was pretty good. bless benoit blanc for being the weird gay drama queen of a detective we all deserve.

maybe unpopular take but parasocial relationships don’t apply only to fans, when you post hate about someone by assuming shit you really have no way of knowing if it’s true or not, that’s also delusion of intimacy

me when someone mentions something im bored of and don’t care about anymore

any time someone tries to tell you that ofmd didn't get renewed bc taika was "bored of it" I would like you to look at this image of him coming on the daily show nov 2023 and spending the entire time talking about ofmd with leslie jones instead of the next goal wins promo he was supposed to do

😭😭

should be illegal to have a headache on the weekend

filling out an employee self assessment and I do feel like I should be able to include that twice today a manager has walked up to my desk and given me a high five for finishing my main project. what is the conversion rate between high fives and a raise.

a flow cytometer is like a nervous horse and I am the only one who can understand its wild spirit (did the weekly flow cytometer maintenance without it having any errors)

I could play it back to listen in on the whole conversation but I could also punch myself in the head with a sampling drill and I was not going to do that, either.

me: *complaining that the veggie/chicken stock I'm making is too watery* I wish I had a few more bits of chicken to add in my wife: you could just add some chicken boullion 💁🏻‍♀️ me: 😲 my wife: no one can stop you me: you're a genius

been doing some light reading about the aftermath of the korean dictatorship and I think it's really important that we repeat this to ourselves, to our friends, to our neighbors, to our politicians

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

cut up a butternut squash and it took a layer of skin?? off of the part of my hand that touched squash?? and I looked it up and this is a known thing???

spent all of last weekend sick with a cold and anxious about one of our cats being sick. three trips to the emergency vet kind of anxious. then had a week driving 1-2hrs to another work site most days. please universe let me have a saturday and sunday where nothing happens and everyone's healthy.

there are some people on here getting very high and mighty about how "gatekeeping kills fandom" when what they actually want is for everything to be catered to them specifically for free

I have so many people but I want to shout out @littlefingies.bsky.social for being so wonderful at boosting people and supporting the things he likes

I think that if I've had bad insomnia two out of three nights this week then I should simply not have to go to work for the rest of the week

"fruit flavored" is the best adjectival phrase. truly the "cellar door" of adjectival phrases. it contains both unfettered hope and dismissive cynicism, equal measure aspiration and resignation, plus natural fruit flavors

german chocolate cake. the name is misleading, it was invented in the US in the 50s and is very popular where I grew up (Iowa). I like coconut, I like chocolate, I like caramel. How does this one cake fuck up all of those simultaneously??

getting the urge to write ofmd fic again but it is still squished by guilt over not being done with the brioche baby blanket I'm procrastinating on finishing by playing bg3. I need two more sets of hands so I can write AND knit AND play video games simultaneously.

some are saying I should be given a cable news show with a giant paycheck after this prophetic post

This line is going to stick with me for a very long time. “One of them is a 4-year-old with Stage 4 cancer who was deported without medication or the ability to contact their doctors…”

There is literally NOT a bad time to watch this. My favorite part is watching the migration of Rhys' hair throughout, indicating not only how many times he had to tell this story, but also the fact that we can tell that the closer his hair gets to his forehead, the drunker he has become. 😂

Today I want to celebrate Pete, our favorite supportive king. He's not great at a lot of things but he's very good at loving his husband 💚

y'all KNOW what mother fucking day it is!!!!!!

Without saying your age, who was your first animated crush? (my first non-animated crush was anderson cooper I think baby Nat just had a thing for white hair)

I re-watched The Old Guard (2020) and wrote some ofmd fic for the first time in months archiveofourown.org/works/64593013

sometimes my cat does not really want to be held or pet or receive attention she just wants to sit near me and gaze at me affectionately. it's cute. not a single thought happening in that brain, just purring.

I made this forever ago, but it always fits the vibe. #TaikaTuesday

here’s a curse word free version of “look it up” as requested by countless teachers and librarians 🥰😘

me when i see vagueposts and i know what they’re vaguing about: heh… iykyk… just had to be there… me when i see vagueposts and i don’t know what they’re vaguing about: honestly if you think about it vagueposting is so problematic bc ur literally gatekeeping information
