The way my grumpy Monday morning mood swooshed out the window when I pulled up the Dragon Con guest list today and saw that Jonathan Coulton, Paul & Storm, and Mike Phirman have all been added. Omg it's been too long! 🤩

As much as I hate funerals, losing internet friends with no way to gather to mourn and reminisce is equally un-fun. RIP @shanejayell.bsky.social thank you for all the stories.

“You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, who had ever been alive.” ― James Baldwin

Maybe this is my replacement for the ill-fated Otakon AMV contest? And I *don't* have to add a whole new con to my line-up to heal the trauma?

Last year it took until wave 5 before we got tickets for Dragonsteel Nexus but this year WAVE 1 BABY. 😎 I am so hype to be going again.

Has anyone else heard this thing where people don't like first person stories because "I" wouldn't make those choices? Do people not read those stories as if listening to the character narrate them? Am I the weird one here?

Sometimes I do my Duolingo lessons during commercial breaks and now suddenly half my Disney+ ads are in Spanish FOR SOME REASON.

The funniest thing is hearing about this via a repost by Tamora Pierce instead of @paulandstorm.bsky.social.

Okay, Words with Friends. These would indeed be "terrifying things in space", but why vampires and cannibals of all things? And why are stars terrifying?

He brought her a little caterpillar! Sir are our seeds not good enough for your wifey?

Either Six Flags has an unusually clever campaign to get me to buy a 2027 season pass...or someone done messed up.

I hate living in a time where I can't express my joy of something without first having to do extensive research on it to make sure it's not created by someone/something awful. This crap sucks...

I was going to FINALLY watch all the Stargate stuff this summer but...I guess no rush now? Thanks for freeing up all my time Amazon, I guess? Back to my regularly scheduled Crunchyroll watch plan. 🤷‍♀

Hello Illumipals! 💛 This pride month, we are hosting a charity fundraiser with the prize of a £150 voucher for Illumicrate store credit (illumicrate.com) 📸: dianaslittlelibrary

Oh my gosh I'm hype for ALL OF THESE 🤩

Amazon, did you even try? They not only delivered my order to the part of the porch that's NOT covered, but ripped open two of the bags and the third is completely missing, so everything is soaked. 🤦‍♀

Ready for #PokemonGoFest in Chicago! Do I need swag? Have I ever needed swag? Am I bringing swag anyway?

Zohran Mamdani really said “if Politicians really wanted to they would, allow me to demonstrate” and it’s driving the press absolutely insane.

OMG just earlier today I was being sad there doesn't seem to be a Babylon 5 meetup at Dragon Con this year for my Delenn cosplay, but this'll do! Definitely gonna get a photo! 🤩

I've been on this work trip for 2 days and I've met FOUR DOGS. I'm a cat person but nonetheless this is fantastic. 🐶🐕🐩🐕‍🦺

I'm in this picture and I like it 😎

Just a little PSA- Neil Gaiman has reactivated his Bluesky account. Because he deactivated before a lot of people could unfollow him, and/or because Bluesky doesn’t remove you from a person’s followers when you block them, a LOT of you are still publicly listed as following him. You should check.

So I was just filling out a form and got THIS as my "prove you're not a robot" thing and wtaf is this nightmare fuel

I got my first trading card from a pilot today!

Hello New York!

Pro-tip: Follow the social media accounts of places you donate to or you may get random stickers in the mail from a random print shop with no explanation. 😅 I was like, I'm not complaining about these cool sparkly stickers with an awesome message. But also why???

For me, remote trading is the best thing to happen in Pokémon Go in yeeeaars. I had to sit down and actually look at my pokemon to figure out which shiny and lucky pokemon I need, something I hadn't bothered with probably since covid.

Successfully obtained tickets for Star Wars Celebration 2027! I've only been once before back in 2019 so I am HYPE. That queue process was brutal though.

Adulthood is just cycling between "If I don't say yes to every opportunity, no new opportunities will ever be offered to me" and "Oh no, I have said yes to too many things" over and over until you die.

I did it! Before: Super dark walls from being used as a home theater and holes where speakers used to be. After: No one should be shocked that I made it green. 😂

Today I started painting a room for the first time. I learned I'm really bad at edges. I'm also really good at telling myself "this is fine, I'm gonna put so much art and furniture in here you won't even be able to see the walls."

We’re trapped in The Onion and we can’t get out

The birbs are in love ❤️❤️

The amount of joy this brought me. I only wish I'd had the chance to wear it longer. #WoTSkies

Another great @jordanconinc.bsky.social done! @nikhilkoparkar.bsky.social was so fun to meet and @brandonsanderson.com was such a good sport.

Sad that I had to trek home and will miss Friday of @jordanconinc.bsky.social. If everyone ends up serenading @nikhilkoparkar.bsky.social with The Hills of Tanchico, there better be videos online because I SO want to see that happen!

“There are many reasons to treat each /other with great tenderness. One is / the sheer miracle that we are here together / on a planet surrounded by dying stars. / One is that we cannot see what / anyone else has swallowed.”

I was one of the lucky few to snag a traditional @brandonsanderson.com signing at @jordanconinc.bsky.social and I AM SO HYPE 🤩 but trying to be cool because so many people around me were unsuccessful and currently grieving. 🙁

I laughed way too hard at this.

Going to my first every kpop concert and the friend whose fault it is surprised me with this 🤩 #TWICE

A most excellent birthday shirt.

Watching The Untamed: I owe an apology to all the danmei fangirls, that was beautiful and not smutty at all. Reading MDZS Vol 4: OH. 😳 Reading MDZS Vol 5: ...I take it ALL BACK. I. TAKE. IT. ALL. BACK.

One thing Donald Trump’s presidency should do for YOU is get rid of your imposter syndrome because if that silly potato faced nepo baby can think he’s highly intelligent and handsome and brilliant, you do not need to have imposter syndrome ever again.

Oh no I forgot I have a WHOLE SERIES I meant to reread and catch up on before Jordan Con. Will that stop me from buying more books? What a silly question.

I felt so sad about this. I don't usually watch the Oscars because usually the films involved aren't things I’ve watched. After the amazing performance of Golden with the beautiful bonus intro, seeing the winners cut so short was tragic. Were those 2 extra minutes they saved really worth it?

Please... please, please, please... #bringbackfirefly They want to animate it and I just want Serenity to fly again, please... please please please, bring it back.

Y'all doing backflips out there?

A small moment of gentleness in the middle of everything. 🐈‍⬛🤍 (please open the thread)
