Casting my line in the dark river just to reel something

Engaging in my personal new years eve tradition

Bsky, my pneumonia has taken a bad turn. I may be facing significant medical costs. I’m starting a GoFundMe to help out with medical bills and expenses. Please share if you can. gofund.me/19d78b218

Tfw you rearrange a cabinet while you're waiting for cookies to bake and you're all 'hell yeah everything fits better there's so much more room than there was before' and then you put the stepladder away and look up

Because of the puppy's very good goodness this morning she was invited on a special field trip to our local barbecue spot. She didn't get any barbecue (too much fat gives her diarrhea) but she did get to walk on snow.

Puppy's collar broke this morning while on our walk and, despite the presence of the Forbidden Ruminants, as soon as I called her she whipped around and ran back to me and sat. 10/10 puppy would boop.

Last night my husband learned firsthand that my previously stated earthquake policy ("I don't get out of bed for less than a 5") was not, in fact, me just running my mouth.

Border collie having a bit of a rough go this evening, shutting-the-fuck-up-and-chilling-the-fuck-out-wise, so now we're having a family listen to the audiobook of "Go the fuck to sleep," narrated by Samuel L. Jackson.

In a personal best, it is 6:25pm and I am in bed for the night

Gonna be queer as fuck, gonna have way too many feelings in public, going to write in a massively self-indulgent fashion, gonna plant trees, gonna stay up too late with friends and chain-smoke and drink excellent liquor straight

Spending the day apologizing to the border collie for having been gone so long

God it must rule to have no principles or values. Just gotta be so fun to think "we should be grateful to MTG for speaking out against orange guy when it became clear she had nothing to gain from him anymore." I should be grateful to Jewish space laser woman

Hey @gregdoucette.bsky.social do you recommend a 50/30/20 split for my macros or do you think that's too extreme #grindcore #fitgrrrlz

@pickyourpotions.bsky.social's VAMPIRES AT SEA is my personal sleeper hit of the year. Queer, hot, funny, dark, violent. Would.

Thoughts from my drive home from Oregon: One of the most beautiful sights in the world is clots of fresh snow falling silently off evergreen boughs I'm grateful for the dark and silent labor of the lonely snowplow driver

y'all wanna see something pretty sequel to The Knife and the Serpent, out next August!

Woke up at 4 and thought I might be getting sick, went back to sleep and dreamed and dreamed, woke back up at 7:30 and it turns out my parents' guest room is just very dry, W

My mother: George, did you stop in the middle of one project to start another project? My father, actively starting a second project: No Jan. I never do that.

My little brother and I have been having an ongoing silent conversation over text and with significant facial expressions over the last three days about which of our parents has the ADHD and which one has the autism and y'all

Lenée's ask is 89% funded and we can TOTALLY get that to 100% as a New Years' gift, right?

I see we're at the "let's ignore the fact that Bridgette Bardot was beautiful and a racist" stage of grief. Because she loved animals. Basically, in your damn minds, this trumps hatred towards humans who don't look like her. GTFO...

and frankly, if your response to "they're shoving this broken fucking technology into literally every tool we use" is not, "so how do we stop them?" but instead "so how do I avoid this impacting my awards eligibility?" then I don't think we're having the same debate.

This is just going to always be my go-to response to this kind of thing anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...

So racist FRANCE sent her to jail. I don't care how pretty she was.

People actually out here writing essays like "AI is complicated and hard to think about" like this is something new or interesting for the rest of us to hear. Keep that shit in your diary.

Funny watching so many folk celebrate Bardot. It brings this meme to mind.

Don't listen to the doomers, y'all. These motherfuckers had their grim reaper hands wrapped around every lever of power imaginable in January and we threw *so much sand* in the gears that they are about to drive off a fucking cliff. If you weren't throwing sand, that is a you problem.

My little brother just described a band he likes as "it's like being alive in the 80s"

A very large redwood tree fell on my friend Mark’s bakery (a community hub in Cazadero) and there’s a fundraiser to help with repairs He’s genuinely one of the best people I know, help if you can: gofund.me/dd5eb6518

the Colt 1911 is the alligator of handguns • found it's niche and refuses to evolve • outlived all contemporaries to survive into the modern day • Flat

Update: we went to Salt and Straw

The Day family engaged in a long-standing family tradition this afternoon, with several notable highlights: my little brother's double 69 and my own score of 0, which briefly reduced my mother to hysterical sobs of laughter

Dad: you know we have a Salt and Straw down here? Brother: No! Me: Salt and Straw is overrated. Brother: Wow, you're so edgy. Me: I am edgy. Also, Voodoo Donuts is mid. Brother: ...Okay, Voodoo Donuts *is* mid.

i work in change management and training, and, like, the reactionary anti-AI stance that's building amongst professionals in their fields is exactly what you would expect to see for a project or initiative where the company didn't bother to do any of that work and just sprung it on everyone

/5 The lesson is, once it becomes clear someone is only looking for one answer, just stop talking.

Seasons greetings.

Did someone say 'boxing'? 'The Boxer' (1933) by Russian artist Konstantin Somov. 🥊🌈🎨 Happy Boxing Day! #BoxingDay #Christmas #queer #lgbtq #art #arthistory #1930s 🗃️

Ave Maria

This is high on the list of why I moved out of the city

"America doesn't have a state religion" yeah okay

Watching a movie about a lonely heart who comes out of their shell to form a found family with an unlikely group of strangers. That’s right, Alien (1979) is a Christmas movie

When the polite, cultured Dr. Pepper consumes a special draught, he turns into the brutish, monstrous Mr. Pibb.

Holy SHIT how did we make it through two childhoods with NONE of us medicated, my little brother and my stimulants are doing major heavy lifting for all four of us

It will be the most Day family thing ever if we have to go to a store on Christmas Day because we're worried about running out of white wine and butter

My father: Are we having gravy? My mother: Yes. Well, God willing. Me: We're there already, are we?

Brother: why are you so small? Me: well, I'm 5'4". And you're 6'1". Him: I know but... Me: we have the classic big guy/little guy dynamic. You know, like George and Lennie. Him: ...from the Beatles?

Like I get that he's 9 inches taller than I am but if I took a 10mg gummy I would not be able to talk for several days
