Was discussing @seananmcguire.bsky.social’s InCryptid worldbuilding with the partner today, specifically routewitches, while at lunch. Concluded that routewitches probably prefer conveyer belt sushi to regular restaurant sushi.

I realized today that lofi hip hop is just millennial smooth jazz and that makes me unreasonably upset

“Lower Decks” ended about as well as a show cancelled before its time that still had endless potential could have ended

POV: you find your favorite travel mug that you gave up as lost several months ago…and there’s liquid in it. 😱

It’s so hard to get out of bed lately. Mostly because I’m pushing 40 and for Various Reasons, my mattress is on the floor.

I rearranged my apps and now I CANT FIND ANYTHING

There’s a conveyer belt hot pot place near me that is 🔥 🔥 🔥 you have your pot of boiling broth at your table and all the fixin’s amble by you and you try to decide how many quail eggs is too many and whether you trust the frozen fish fillet

A scoop of Trader Joe’s pumpkin ice cream in your coffee will not fix what is wrong with the world but is well-worth doing anyway.

I made my first baked potato in about six or seven years tonight. I chanted “potato potato potato” while I cut it open and added butter, salt, and pepper. Reader, it was the best fucking baked potato. Twelve of ten stars. No notes.

Hole in the wrap.

I stay sitting for “Proud to be an American” and “Grand Old Flag” and “My Country ‘Tis of Thee,” too. Miss me with the blind nationalism of standing for every cringey patriotic song.

Immigrants make the US great. That’s not just spouting platitudes; the US would be a fucking weak broth without the richness that immigrants suffuse into the melting pot. We are made better every time we welcome a different perspective of the world. The rhetoric that claims otherwise is abhorrent.

Your local elections, while not as Big Newsworthy, are your chance to make changes on political levels you (1) can actually change and influence with your singular vote and (2) have arguably more concrete effect on your daily life. Don’t pass on the opportunity.

Not having a hangover becomes better than being tipsy, because hangovers get ROUGH.

I’ve not seen a single Studio Ghibli film.

I don’t get to finish my own projects very often, so even though this baby Maypole was a quick make, it felt very gratifying. #quiltsky

This is it. This is my favorite gachapan machine in all of Japan.

I don’t want loyalty points for every damn store. I bought a swimsuit once, I don’t need a fraction of a dollar worth of points. Stop emailing me about them.

Battle doomscrolling by posting five small pleasures in life: 1. External affirmation that you are good at the things you like to do 2. The first bite of a food you’ve been craving 3. Clean pajamas and clean sheets after a long day 4. Cat purrs 5. The tingles from a good scalp massage

It doesn’t count as day drinking when it’s Kirkland Signature champagne while you’re getting a much-deserved and long-overdue pedicure.

Hi friends! Things are really tight. I had to graduate from a manual chair with power assist to a fully powered chair due to my illness, which means my beloved Colours chair needs to find a new home. It’s powered by the Yamaha NaviOne system, which is fabulous. Please share.

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

Depends. What color shirt am I wearing?

I’m experiencing maybe 1% of what worldcon has to offer and I’m already exhausted

So I am going to WorldCon but I’m so intimidated that my avoidant ass has resisted making any sort of plans. I’m local, so I can light rail in. What should I make sure not to miss?

Hi there! It’s late and I’m bored so I’d like to contribute to normalizing the notion that women *can also* contribute to the “not pulling their weight” component of failed relationships.

There should be a word for when an introvert is lonely and wants to socially connect with someone but everyone is busy

I don’t often get pedantic about spelling anymore (I was raised a grammar cop and I have spent years breaking this generational habit), but we have to talk. Pidgin is a simplified language developed by two or more people who don’t share a native language. A pigeon is a bird. Pidgey is a Pokémon.

Welp, I, along with countless others, am about to make “Golden” my entire personality for an indeterminate amount of time, to the point of taking voice lessons to refine the technique to hit those high notes like I mean it.

Hit my shin hard enough today to break the skin through scrubs, leggings, and compression socks. I was limping half the day. Bet I’ll still wonder where the giant bruise came from in a few days.

I prefer showering at night. Here are the many reasons for this preference that literally no one asked for: a thread. 1/?

Fuck everyone who needs glasses, I guess.

I’m a sex-repulsed ace that tends to skip the sex scenes unless I’m in a Very Specific Brainspace. That’s okay and legit! It’s ALSO okay and legit for explicit sex scenes to exist for people who aren’t me! Especially if there’s some kind of indication that they’re present in whag im about to read!

gently: it's fine if you don't love explicit sex scenes in fiction but it would be cool if you could talk about it without sounding indistinguishable from moms for liberty

With a few exceptions, every human culture develops a noodle, a dumpling, and a sweet fried dough. And I want to sample them all.

Current WIP for the bf’s birthday. (If you’re him, don’t look.) Two blocks down, four to go before staggering them, adding background fabric, and then quilting. #quiltsky

I can’t decide if “The Origin of Buttholes” or “The Butthole of Species” is more cursed

I use 24h time at work. My partner uses 24h time at work. Both of us were converting 24h time to 12h time to talk to each other until we realized we could just…not do that thing.

*This* is why they are freaking out about Zohran Mamdani.

I love the concept of pajamas. “These are clothes that I put on specifically for the time of day when I have decided to be comfortable and do nothing.”

Sometimes I take time to marvel in the fact that society has advanced past our physiological ability to keep up via socially integral means so we are required to supplement our physical activity based on how much like an ape we behave in order to maintain basic physiological functions (aka exercise)

I was 12 and coming up with my first D&D character’s name. I had just learned my parents had almost named me Alexandria. Xaandria felt more fantasy-ish and it’s stuck with me through the years. No relation to the awesome band Xandria, which I didn’t discover until last year.

A lovely elderly woman once came into the optical shop where I was apprenticing to have the nose pads on her reading glasses replaced. She looked and sounded SO FAMILIAR. ‘Twas Jane Goodall.

ea nasir is back baby awooo

If this was any more of a dumpster fire it’d be a cybertruck.

Thoughts and prayers to all the cups of coffee you left in the keurig after you pressed the button and forgot about them
