If I ever hear "liberal media bias" again istfg

I am not really big on setting New Years Resolutions, but I do want to make 2026 be a year that doesn't absolutely suck at every turn: Save money Be more active/eat better See IRL friends more often Read/listen to a book a month More fun dates with my partner Do something creative for myself

I am happy I checked in for Scarlet/Violet raids before the games get fully sunset. Finally have Walking Wake and Iron Leaves!

Do you think we will get an instant from Star Trek called Beam me up? Maybe let us station at instant speed? Don't love UB but I do like spacecraft..

Huh. Questing Beast gets around One Ring protection...

If there is any silver lining, it's that the loss of my greatest source of comfort has forced me to be more present with the people who matter in my life. To be a better partner, a better son, and a better friend. I am doing my best to fill my life with love, he wouldn't want me to shut myself away💜

After Bear passed I have felt anything but festive. We decided to make our piano his shrine, as it was one of his favoite spots in the house. We initially got him around Christmas, so it is only fitting that we still celebrate his love this season. Merry Christmas Piano Boy ❤️

Still slowly working towards the shiny charm in ZA but really don't know if it is worth it... already have more shiny mons in this one save file than I have gotten in over 2 decades playing the series

Today was supposed to be wear white to work day at the office. Only 10 people showed up, and I am the only one in white. That's what i get for trying to participate at work functions!

Last night had a much needed get together with the college friend group. Most of them have kids now so it is harder for all of us to come together as a group, but sharing stories and baked goods while their kids all play together in the background filled my heart with such joy 💜 life isn't all bad

Cancel all your streaming services, get an old DVD player at goodwill, then go to your local library to pick out movies/shows like the Blockbuster days. Add some popcorn and candy. Perfect date

The modern Republican Party is the party of the neo-Confederates and the KKK, and their embrace of MAGA has not been surprising to anyone who has paid attention for the last 30-40 years. We cannot repeat the mistakes of early Reconstruction. No more pardons for Confederate traitors

And lastly for tonight, from our old apartment a video I found that showcases that he always preferred the stick end of the string toys. He didnt like the dangling strings much 😅

I think it is time for a postive photo dump. If I have any regrets it would be not getting more photos of him. These show just how much he loved me, just ignore my messy hair and behold the cuddles and kisses I was lucky to have daily for years 💜

We decided to walk around town and discovered the holiday night market. Got a bag of snickerdoodle popcorn and watched the lighting of the tree. Even though these days and nights will be challenging, I am happy I have a partner in crime with whom I can face them 💜

The hardest part of waking up now is the deafening silence in our home. The realization that he isn't nestled behind my knees in his spot on our bed. Every little noise I tense up as if just waiting to hear him come thundering down the hallway to me. Part of me has died, I am not the same person

On Dec. 3rd 2025, our hearts were shattered. After fighting nearly a week to turn it around, Bear continued to regress, not eating or drinking or relieving himself. We had to make the hardest decision of our lives, to allow him to pass peacefully. He was the best boy.

I would give anything for this to reverse... for one more day of playtime and snuggles... tonight is the last chance and things are not improving

The next 24 hours are going to be crucial, our cat NEEDS to start eating on his own soon. No, I am not okay

Emergency pet visit was a great way to start my sunday, but thankfully seems stable and we get to go home soon

Pie turned out mediocre, called an audible and made cookies instead. Dessert is dessert. Time to get drunk and argue about AI intrusion into everyday life and the realities of state-sponsored violence

Making a blackberry pie for tomorrow because I couldn't find marionberries. Which as an Oregonian I am very sad about, but still excted to make my first dessert pie

People melting down and calling Ken Burns a woke Marxist is so fucking funny

A little late this week with posting this, but wanted to give a refresher for those who haven't read this since High School. Lincoln was by no means a perfect president and made many mistakes, but his love of our nation and dedication to reaching the ideals of our founding cannot be questioned

Magic at the pub after the vet appt for our cat. Gotta have some good times and remember not everything sucks. We have things worth fighting for. Happy Saturday, I love you all

Ah yes, recruit teenagers with attitude* for my intergalactic war *Picks 5 of the most community service oriented high schoolers in history Power Rangers was always woke

All you can do is give someone the space they need to grow. You can't force someone, they have to want to take action. You can encourage them, you can cheer them on and celebrate the wins, but ultimately it is on them to do the work. Focusing on yourself is not selfish, it is necessary

Cursed Mirror copy Kona, swing, put Mightstone into play. Opp dumps hand and passes back. Play Paradox Engine as a super ritual and tutor Belcher for game. Just as Dr. Garfield intended!!

7 drops?? Say less Happy Saturday everyone!

Local spot is hosting mtg learn to play so of course I gotta show support

Remember, they wanted this fucker to be our VP back in 2016. The Dems are devoid of ANY meaningful leaders

Haven't really played magic much in the last couple months, but last night we did our chaos winston draft and boy howdy did it feel good. Looking at card and saying "wow this seems fun" is way better on the mental than arguing about whatever wotc is doing to take more of your money with less reward

I just... I really struggle to understand the purpose of all these new apartment buildings that charge 2000/month for a studio. I get the target audience are tech bros that spend all day at the office, but how many of those people do developers think exist??

The GOP really are the most vile, pathetic, and stupid people.. 15 years to present an alt plan to the ACA and it is just, give money to citizens to give to insurance companies rather than give directly to insurance companies? It is clear that the silver spoon fed have just paid in cash for care

Not sure if anyone remembers these, but I found a stash of 90s nostalgia in my old things #pokemon #original151

I always thought the twitching eye when something happens thing was mostly played up in media, then 2025 happened and something so stupid happens daily that now my right eye will just start twitching

It really is so fascinating to me to watch the same people scream "States Rights!!" over and over again, now simply state, "Well Federal Law supercedes State Law" when they hold the keys to the govt. These people have never actually held a sincere belief in their life, no principled positions

Still playing this one almost daily

Me to co-workers: hey my anniversary is tomorrow, any suggestions for a nice meal I could make? Them Unironically: oh you should ask chatgpt, it has become my best cooking friend I want off this rock now please

I am so serious about everyone needing to have a dash cam. Even a shitty cheap one you have to reset every trip will be enough to save you serious heartbreak and hassle. Especially when police NO LONGER RESPOND TO ACCIDENTS

When you live on auto-pilot so long you forget you have time-off scheduled next week and then go into frantic mode to get ready for pto

I think this a bigger problem than previously thought. While on a trip with family literally everyone but me would use AI to look something up during a conversation. People just actually want to be brainless drones incapable of doing anything themselves.

Grabbed some new beers (new to me) while out today. What should I have to close out the weekend? Left to right we have honey lager, a pilsner, and a vaguely described dark beer

Playing ZA makes me wanna pick the trumpet back up and play in street performances like back in the day...

I always love hearing responses when I tell people I am in Oregon, and they legit think the whole state is an anarcho-commie sanctuary. Sorry to break the illusion but this state has plenty of milquetoast liberals, techbro fascists, Christian Zionists and run of the mill small town white racists

I wish there was a Canlander team trios league..

Life is just flying by... how tf is already almost November? Time has no meaning in today's world

Getting a mortgage is just rent-to-own housing in which a select group of people qualify to partake and maybe they make it out ahead of where they started. You don't own ANYTHING until the bank gets its' cut. Housing shouldn't be where you place a bet to try and get ahead. It should be for living

Driving through a more Red part of Oregon and still seeing HUNDREDS of people turn out for No Kings gives me so much hope. Needed that 💜

My parents never had to force me to read. My parents created an environment that gave me the space to learn and always encouraged me to pursue an education with vigor. Stop handing a screen to your child and sit with them and read a book together. You can watch your TV show when they are asleep
