"We all know what happened to Mr Hong when he opened the Three Jolly Luck Take–Away Fish Bar on the site of the old fish-god temple in Dagon Street on the night of the full moon, don't we... ?" Terry Pratchett - "Jingo" No reason, it showed up in my random quote script, and thought I'd share.

One of my favorite artists, if you like things weird, check them out. *looks at the Octostar hanging above the doorway*

"I picked the wrong day to quit huffing Black Lotus from Stygia..." Yep, self quoting again...

I think I'm studying German too much, a commercial for "Texans Credit Union" sounded to me like "Hexen Credit Union", and I was surprised that witches had their own bank. Had to rewind and relisten. 🧹

How to spend midsummer? Watching pagan shenanigans. (Midsommar) Also, good grief the boyfriend... Definitely a case of "choose the bear".

Honestly, after all these years with major anxiety issues, it seems I should have just gone all stabbity. Thanks medical science for missing some sound advice from the 19th century. *tips hat to Mary Shelley* (read the whole thread though, and everything written, it's glorious)

Happy Pride Folks

Doc news, still losing weight Blood sugars good Liver enzymes normal Cholesterol normal BP still elevated, trying a different med. Still crazy as a shithouse rat, but that's not his department

Oh, vampires from Monday gave me my details, A1C: 5.1 (very good for a diabetic, normal is 5.7 or under, so more normal than usual) bad cholesterol is good, good cholesterol is bad Oh and I need more chlorine (edit: oops, I meant choloride) in my diet. Guess I need to go to the pool store.

Look I have zero excuses for this, but the idea popped into my head and now it's in your head, sorry

Delta Green's latest Humble Bundle is now live. 58 pdfs for a minimum of $25. Normally these would cost $681. You can pay more knowing that half of the proceeds going to the Direct Relief charity. www.humblebundle.com/books/delta-...

Read the full thread, all hail Fergus

Oh look, the Tangerine ShitGibbon has now picked Ireland for his latest tirade/attack on an ally. Anyone got money on if it's going to be Spain or Italy next ? Or, to keep everyone guessing, including his own gov't, embargo Peruvian potatoes? www.bbc.com/news/article...

Post a photo you took with no context to bring some Zen to the timeline.

The province of Ontario's alcohol monopoly has pulled all US product from retail. But if you're an ex-favorite son turned Mar-a-Lagoan and your winery is located here, there is still withering sarcasm

My pal, Dave Wood runs Gryphonwood Press, and is having a bit of bother with medical bills from the fuckery that is the US health care system. Do him a solid and buy some books... (Disclaimer...some of mine are there, but please, buy anything that takes your fancy.) www.gryphonwood.net/horror

Been diving deeper into my creative pursuits beyond cosplay- Snapped this spontaneously while taking pics at a local music gig. I think it captures me as a creative- which is exactly how I'm begging to be seen🌻 #photography #selfie #artist

If you're a fan of N.K. Jemisin, the Hillsboro Library Foundation is hosting her via Zoom this Saturday at 4 pm Pacific! It's a great fundraiser for a good cause. everout.com/portland/eve...

Oh California folks...

Keene: the big foot does stink Koontz: because of his feet? Keene: because of Keene: Keene: while i haven't done a deep dive into the particulars, that does sound like a very valid theory dean

Ramadan Mubarak youse folks #Ramadan2025

A good day, but it could have been better. Could have been in Portland. 🐙

Who takes rednecks to the after life ? Yalkyries. (typo looking up a band had me VERY confused)

Interview went well, easy and relaxed. Job would be more or less the same thing I've done before. Position's pay range is kind of, broad but to match what I was getting before is just about the middle of the bell curve. Mostly Linux, some java support (yuck) and migration to "The Cloud" (1/2)

Oh, I have a job interview at 1200 CST (about 40 min from now), any crossed fingers, wishes of luck, invocations of the elder gods, would be greatly appreciated.

@williemeikle.bsky.social Hey, my dead tree copy of Operation: Below showed up today. I really need to get my butt in gear and finish that re-read and catch up on our favorite sweary squaddies. :)

"Hey everyone, surf's up!" - Lord Summerisle, thirty seconds after the end of THE WICKER MAN (1974)

Yes, I've joined the darkside, I actually have a band I'm cheering for in Eurovision. 🇩🇪🤘 youtu.be/u4c0BRV1aGs?...

Have some bad jokes. No, not mine. I really wish they were mine, but no. #badjokes My wife said she'd leave me due to my Star Wars obsession... "May Divorce be With You" Mortal Kombat was based on a Scandinavian church song. It Was a Finnish Hymn!!!

I get a mention in this actual Washington Post review..! 👹
