Should I “adopt” this antique porcelain haunted doll named Henry I’m currently looking at? I could put him in my forbidden cabinet with all my other collections.

My ao3 author's curse apology note on this next chapter is going be spectacular

I finally convinced myself to use my FMLA and take a day off. I thought it would be peaceful. Then I hear my aunt’s voice “I don’t know how to cook a turkey. Do you season it? I guess I’ll just put it in the oven for a while.” I now have to make sure the bird’s sacrifice was not in vain 😭

Definitely true crime.

A random man in the laundromat just told me “Happy Valentine’s Day. I really like your skin.” Can’t tell if he’s real bad at compliments, or if I’ll be coming soon to a true crime documentary near you.

C’est la vie, as the French say.

there’s just not enough hours in the day to work, stay informed, clean, take care of myself, cook, do laundry, read 100k words of fanfiction, yearn and plot a revenge plan against my enemies

Christmas is over, but I can't stop thinking about that stop motion Santa Claus is Coming to Town movie. Imagine, a strange man wanders into town with a sack of forbidden items, and then tells your children "If you sit on my lap today, a kiss a toy is the price you'll pay." Immediately no. Be gone.

The return of #TheDailyDodger

Happy Friday Eve #Heartsky Another slow day of cataloging at work. But at least I get writing time in between. I’ve never worked on a creative project that broke 200,000 words that so many people like before. Have a picture of Matzah Ball who has discovered how to get into my ceiling

Nothing will ever be funnier than the email I received at work today from someone with both "Areola" and "Nip" in their actual government name.

It's so weird seeing my silly fanfic getting so popular that people are making tiktoks about it lol

Morning #Heartsky or....afternoon I guess? I slept in. I have a new porch cat that followed Gary home and into his cat house. We have named him Michael. I also forgot I had an essay due tonight, but it's two pages and I could do that in my sleep. So I'm not worried. Hope you all have a great day!

Nothing says "I love you, mom" like my dog-child just launching himself into the spot I am already occupying. All 75 pounds of him straight onto my back. At 5am. While I'm sleeping. Because a kitten startled him and his solution was to absolutely destroy my back :')

Guys, sometimes I legitimately forget I have this app downloaded. Hi, hello #Heartsky. I live! I hope you all are having amazing days

When your boss tells you first thing that hospital leadership is already considering getting rid of both of your offices because "they don't do much for patients" but don't worry, it'll be fine! Nah girl, I'm stressing considering how much they cave to the current administration already

Merry Christmas from the Master of the Porch (aka Gary, the semi-feral cat we take care of).

i <3 making my seasonal depression worse by listening to sad music

Never did I think a fic I was writing would include the words "Uncle-Father". But here we are. And here I am, in a hell of my own creation.

"but you're not ready for that conversation" baby, I'm not ready for any conversation. Don't talk to me

me: i’m going to sleep early tonight also me at 3am reading two characters confessing their love for each other:

Ive never felt more alive than when creating an entire MAP for cataloging art materials eight hours before its due

Guys the flu/whatever the fuck virus I’ve caught is so bad this year. I’ve been sick for five days now, my fever keeps coming back, and my cough got worse instead of better.

I'm at the combination

Morning #Heartsky I once again disappeared for weeks. It has been incredibly busy, but I successfully opened a new library. Never thought I would get to say that I was the one responsible for the planning and opening of a whole new library (just a small hospital one), but still! I did that!

We're ordering for the new library and I approached my boss to ask about the remaining budget and she said "Just order :)" "B-But budget??" "It's fine order whatever :)" "But the mean finance people at this university?" "Don't worry about it! Order whatever :)" Guys I can't operate in unknowns

On a scale of "life happens" to "drop out now", how bad is one C in grad school, do you think? I've gotten all A's and two B+'s until now....

Just mama and her two babies that are almost as big as her now 💜

As soon as the sun comes up tomorrow I will be possessed by the winter holiday spirit and probably put up my Christmas tree..

I really want to know who the person handing out ramen noodles on my street is lmao

Trick or treating update: I was just robbed by a tiny Spiderman who was very enthusiastic about my selection of suckers. And then I gave him two more pieces because he was cute lmaooo

Halloween edition of #TheDailyDodger

It's Halloween!!!!!

Yes. This man would start a nuclear war to avoid being exposed in the a Epstein files. Because he is a psychopathic maniac that has surrounded himself with extreme psychopathic maniacs.

Good morning #Heartsky Starting out today hopeful. After being ghosted by a new therapist and dealing with a terrible psych, I got a new intake with a previous therapist of mine who was great. So maybe it's not so bad. I did make a lot of progress with her before switching.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

For working in a library, I sure do here my librarian and education professional coworkers say "I asked ChatGPT..." a lot. That and "do you think we should invest in a new system to improve record management?" "no, that's a lot of work I don't want to do."

No

It’s long past time for Speaker Johnson to do his job and swear in Arizona Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva. She won on September 23rd that’s 26 days ago.

Happy Friday #Heartsky we've made it! My mom is doing a bit better so hopefully things will keep getting better from here on out. Also my cat Binx who was missing for a week came home last night at 2am. Just yowling on the porch until we let him in. So glad to finally have the boy home

Good morning #Heartsky It's Friday!!! Mood is kind of bleh because my ma is in the hospital and has been fighting sepsis, but she's doing as well as can be expected right now. But at least I get to leave work early and visit her and then flop on my couch for the night.

I miss the person I was when Agatha All Along came out last year. It was such a good time. Time for a rewatch!

The world may be a little shitty right now, but my silly little fic has broken 140,000 words so yay me.

Giving the current state of my country, it feels silly to be working my little job and planning for a future that likely no longer exists

Current state: about to have a meltdown over figuring out how to print these spine labels properly

Like dislike my new job enough to have applied for a vet clinic receptionist job...

I fear I have done the thing where I was so desperate for another job, I took one that I ended up hating just as much because at the time it was better than what I had.
