It feels like it's going to be way too much work for lackluster results to try to Ship of Theseus my shopvac. Ugh. I guess lesson learned, stainless steel (or at least the welds maybe?) can rust. Plastic doesn't feel great but our main use case is picking up some water in our basement, so.

Deeply annoyed that the shopvac I bought last year is susceptible to rust.

I am so bad at this and I am going to blame it on not being able to mentally visualize things.

its amazing how chatgpt knows everything about subjects I know nothing about, but is wrong like 40% of the time in things im an expert on. not going to think about this any further

My brain: "Things have worked out for other people when they've done this thing, so logically it would likely work out for you too." Also my brain: "No, that sounds stupid and you're stupid for thinking that." Also also my brain: "That's not even a real argument!"

I'm such a big dumb baby when I'm sick.

I AM FREE

I've reached a stage of interrogating gender stuff for myself where I'm mentally saying "Still cis though" to myself and being increasingly snarky about it.

I am unwell and having to sit through an AI webinar and this might be hell.

Company is planning to monitor our AI usage soon to ensure that we're starting to use it and just...ugh.

The steam page for Lancer Tactics is now up! Throw us on your wishlist! #lancerrpg #mech #mecha

It's honestly nuts how many nat 20s I rolled.

Graham objected to unanimous consent. And he blocked the business of the Senate. Any Senate Democrat could do this.

Anyone who gives a dime to the Democratic Party right now is a fucking chump.

It's honestly wild how much I hate hearing recordings of my voice. I truly can't understand how folks put up with me. This fun set of thoughts has been spurred by having to repeatedly record drafts of a product demo video.

I have to go to Florida soon for a work conference and I'm really not sure what to do about clothes. I really, really hate dealing with clothes. I'm never happy with how I look in anything other than jeans and a t-shirt and maybe a hoodie. Feels like I should have gotten past it at some point.

I've reached a stage of interrogating gender stuff for myself where I'm mentally saying "Still cis though" to myself and being increasingly snarky about it.

I wonder how many events in history have been more anticipated by number of people than the thing. Is it possibly the most anticipated thing ever?

The session went so well. I'm still giddy about it today.

Really getting into Chapter 5 of our Lancer #InGoldenFlame campaign tonight. Feels so weird to know that we'll be done with Act 1 in a month-ish. We're roughly 15 months from when we started, though some breaks and delays were mixed in. I love the story so much, and my group's PCs are so fantastic.

Had to answer questions this week about how our team used AI last year and how we're going to use more AI this year and uggggggggh.

Every time I'm stunned at how unprepared the Democratic party is for this moment, something even stupider happens.

Wondering if I can somehow get whistles approved for trade show booth swag for this year.

Movie you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: No Star Wars/Trek, LOTR, or Marvel. Such a fantastic movie - was the first movie I ever saw in a theater more than once.

Today has felt like three workdays in one and I am so hella exhausted, and that's before I got caught up on the news.

My newest desk shark - technically a Hork.

Finished up Witch King by Martha Wells last night - enjoyed it a lot! The blending of past and present scenes was paced really well. Looking forward to starting Queen Demon next!

Decided to give a reading goal a try for 2026. I'm going for at least 50. Does anyone have any book recommendations? Books that I've really enjoyed in the past few years include The Locked Tomb, Saint Death's Daughter, Metal from Heaven, the Murderbot books, Iron Widow, & The Traitor Baru Cormorant.

I have so many GWitch gunpla to work on, and it's both awesome but also vaguely intimidating.

Christmas didn't really go as expected but at least my potatoes were fantastic.

My potatoes are a thing of beauty. Garlic, thyme, sage, cheddar gruyere, and they're doable in an instant pot.

Merry Christmas! My Hypermall Unlimited Violence contract, OMEGA KILLSAINT, is complete! You CAN purchase it! It IS playable! vexwerewolf.itch.io/omega-killsa...

Nothing is as clingy as a web browser that just can't comprehend why it isn't your default browser.

There's really nothing that sets me off at work more than someone that isn't on my team trying to sell things to our customers for my team to do. It goes badly for our team every single time.

If you're not trans, I don't think I can fully explain how important this is. It's so powerful that one of the most circulated science media publications in the world has come out and said "trans children are real and providing transition care improves their lives." That's groundbreaking.

The cats were adorable.

Quite excited about our small company holiday event today which includes a team trip to a cat cafe.

Feeling excited having had some more time to flesh out my new character. I haven't gotten to be a player in a minute and I'm really looking forward to it.

I wish I could do voices better so I could do better RP/as a DM, but that probably means actually practicing at that and then also having to deal with hating my own voice, which does seem like a lot.

My kingdom for good art of a big beefy frost giant Goliath barbarian ~lady that isn't leaning 100% into "all furs, all the time" as an aesthetic, and also isn't super skinny/lithe.

AI slop has completely ruined the ability to find art for a D&D character.

I wonder if it means anything that the majority of the media I've engaged with over the past year or two is not just queer but specifically lesbian and/or trans focused.

Yes, let me get even more sweaty before I have to go sit next to strangers in a metal sky tube for hours. Great idea, truly.

Oh, gender.

As it turns out, spending a lot of your time on Spotify trying to find Lancer campaign music means that your Wrapped is turbofucked.

Cat ownership really does something to your brain. I have been telling Lady (full name: Lady Marchioness Crunchwrap Supreme) while she's shouting at me that she's being "grumby", a dumb sort of portmanteau of "grumpy" and "grumbly".

I was selected to be a judge for an AI competition this week and I am extremely amused by this.

Oh no 20th anniversary edition of A Fever You Can't Sweat Out comes out next month. Oh no.
