I've had "hip to the zeitgeist" in every social media bio for quite some time now and I think I need to admit that it's no longer 100% accurate

sent this to my wife

out of nowhere I decided to put on the audiobook for Havemercy, which I last read about 15 years ago, and hoooo boy I'm in for a wild ride ROYSTON IS THIRTY FIVE

ngl I'm still kind of reeling from the most recent episode of Gladlands

ngl I'm still reeling from this week's episode of Gladlands, my emotional reaction to this season was already so tangled and complicated and then Vic came in with THAT

fixing audio ducking is to fanvids what weaving in ends is to knitting

I need everyone to know that on the crochet subreddit the mods made a big post about how they're taking a week off because there was too much fighting/political posts. so there's currently no mods on r/crochet and people are being absolutely insane

I had to stop knitting for like a year because the friction kept triggering hives, but I finally finished the second quadrant of the hue shift afghan!

update: I straight up took tomorrow off lol, I'm so tired

I love my job but right now it's basically just emails and meetings and meetings about emails and emails about meetings and I'm losing my minddddddd

went to the movies with my cousins, this trailer for Saving Face was one of the previews, got to around the 0:16 mark and froze with popcorn halfway to my face like a goddamn cartoon as it occurred to me that lesbianism was more than an abstract concept I was vaguely aware of youtu.be/78h8WeP3Oas

bsky is too public for me to drop specifics but my mom was mentioned by name on a major sports radio broadcast this morning and it's really driving home how fucking surreal her job is

I gave a Victorian child a modern THC edible and it took him seven months in a sanatorium by the seaside to recover. when he got back he had me try some of his Extra-Gentle Soothing Syrup For Fussy Babies (patent pending) and I died

Luna's antibiotics are chewable tablets that when broken into quarters are roughly the same size, shape, and texture as a piece of kibble, explain to me how I can stir them into a bowl of kibble with beef, hot dogs, and mac and cheese and she will eat everything BUT the pills

please know when I use the ✨ emoji, I do not mean anything to do with AI. they stole my emoji from me.

in case anyone was worried, Luna is absolutely milking this situation for everything she can. she knows she'll keep getting snacks for as long as it takes us to feed her a pill, so she won't eat anything that isn't mixed with beef or wrapped in a slice of ham

one thing we probably should have anticipated is that Luna is about eye-level with the snow, which means that if she brushes past or tries to sniff a snowbank, her cone basically shovels the snow directly into her face

separate thread for cone pics

someone do this at my funeral

she's sooooooo upset and did a hunger strike for the vet but she ate some boiled beef, took her painkillers, and fell asleep on the guest bed the second we turned on @makesomenoiseshow.bsky.social ????

we're going to get her!!!!!

her favorite tech (the one who calls her baboosky) is the one doing the overnight monitoring and has been texting me updates

Luna did "very very well" and is currently zonked out asleep from pain meds. everything went as planned and standard procedure is to keep her overnight for observation but we'll be able to pick her up tomorrow

our main vet has a younger vet working under him (who will hopefully take over when he retires, we adore her) and this is her car

Luna has been dropped off for surgery! we're not sure exactly when she'll be done, but we'll know by early or mid-afternoon

sleepy blep

ngl I'm getting a good grade in emails today

everyone is thinking what I'm thinking, right?

YOU ARE A REGULAR GUY

I was bracing myself for the worst but the $1,300 quote we just got back from the vet is sooooo reasonable. it'll be a pinch to come up with the cash to pay upfront but we'll get 80% back from the pet insurance

I needed a second pair of socks so I got the ones that really encapsulate how I feel

Luna needs surgery :( nothing major, she has a hematoma in her ear that they need to fix, but they're going to have to give her anesthesia to do it and she's going to have to be in a cone

mr. mamdani i sincerely apologize for the mileage this image is going to get

we've been watching Ponies for Vic Michaelis and it's an INCREDIBLE show that everyone should watch and it JUST 👏 GOT 👏 GAY 👏

she liked snow a lot more the first time she saw it

not sure what to make of the snow

as an underfunded social media manager this is so real lmao

does anyone have a humidifier they like? I'm in the market for a new one

saw my immunologist earlier this week and had my standing check-in appointments with my pulmonologist and GP today and this might be the only time in my life that I'm willing to accept "stress" as a diagnosis but also I feel like my anxiety is warranted in this particular situation

last night my wife asked me if I would still love her if she was a worm and I was like "idk that feels like it would be a material change in circumstances" and she said I've been spending too much time with lawyers lmao

face reveal, wrong answers only

this shit just saved my ass a.co/d/6rSlMPs

I keep getting ads for polymarket that are pitching online gambling as "passive income" that "all of our rich friends are doing" and I don't understand* how this isn't so so so illegal *obviously I understand but 😬

Unreal that tech execs are acting like “thing might fail if people continue to not like or want it” is our problem and not theirs.

it's like I'm being gaslit by my own brain. I checked the stove twice before getting in bed but now I'm like, did I? or do I just think I did like I thought I bought that train ticket? constant quadruple-checking hasn't historically been my specific flavor of OCD but I feel like it's about to be

about a week after this happened I had to go back to the office and was super vigilant about getting to the station on time and realized when I got there that I NEVER BOUGHT A TICKET, at the time I was like "lol is my brain broken" but this keeps happening and I legit think my brain is broken
