I AM DOING MY OWN LAUNDRY, RIGHT NOW, IN MY HOUSE

There was a vacuum cleaner.

I disappeared from the world for 4h and finished this in one sitting. Really fun one-of-these (solve mystery on computer). Just hard enough to be enjoyable, well-written, fun to interact with, cool little tangents you can go on. Strong recommend!

If you’re looking for some way to help.

Guess who no longer has a tub of lukewarm filth water as a roommate? THIS GUY! I paid a very nice man to drain the fell quagmire and disconnect my now unemployed laundry machines. I’m on my way to the appliance store and instead of being filled with financial terror, I’m just really excited. YAYYYY

AHHHH THE FUNDRAISER DONE FUNDED ALREADY I posted an update which I can't figure out how to link to directly, but scroll down: www.gofundme.com/f/dear-inter... THANK YOU THE INTERNET I'MA WASH SOME CLOTHES

Reposting for the morning crowd / insomnia crowd / other time zone crowd / look I am just assuming there are crowds of some kind: My washer died, I can't afford even a bad one, let alone one that is wheelchair accessible, and I need help. www.gofundme.com/f/dear-inter...

So, my washer/dryer is very broken and needs to be replaced, and my budget for that is *checks notes* zero dollars, and Internet Friends, I need help. gofund.me/57086fc8e

I deeply appreciate that within 30 seconds of making a post that was 50% meows, a trans catgirl has favourited it. Is she a bot, is she a terminally online cat, is it a coincidence, I do not care; it was magical.

Give folks their flowers No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier "They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

Dear parents - Yes you can give your sick child paracetamol if they’re >3 months old. It’s an excellent painkiller. It brings down a high temperature. It’s one of the safest drugs available. You are right to want to soothe your child’s distress. Evidence supports your good parenting. Be confident.

Pharmacist goals tbh

"digital asbestos" is fantastic framing.

That awkward moment when the king comes to do your throne speech and you realize that you’ve forgotten to update the, you know, throne.

Best Star Trek crew, wrong answers only.

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY doot doot

🌸 Happy birthday, Alex and Imogen Motherlover! 🌸 I'm so excited - not for the end of seven years of work, but the beginning of a new chapter of it being out in the world in physical form. And I'm so grateful, both for the chance to make it and for the support of everyone along the way.

I'm very relieved Poilievre didn't win, but it is so, so weird seeing US / UK peeps celebrating this on Canada's behalf as a win for the left. We just elected a centrist banker and our actual-left party was crushed and may lose official status. This is a move to the right for us, by the numbers.

@thecorrection.bsky.social 👀 👀 👀

Pierre Poilievre sounds like if roofies had a podcast.

Every Canadian Election I approach all the different party leaders and see if they will do an interview/Hip Flip .Here's a clip of Canadian NDP leader Jagmeet Singh . Check out the *FULL* interview at youtu.be/stlWcmJSNuk Doot doo !

Do you have a TESLA but you don't want people to vandalize it? Atone for your sins by supporting trans rights aka giving this trans woman here like a hundred bucks so she can pay her rent via purchasing a bumper sticker that says "I paid a trans woman $100 for this bumper sticker plz no vandalize".

RIP McBarge 1986-2025 You were too pure for this world

Heyo, Buy Canadian peeps: this week I was very pleasantly surprised by OddBunch, who delivered a file box FULL of fruit & veg to my home for twenty bucks. Including two flats of blackberries, which would have been twenty bucks by themselves, lbr.

in america giant bodies of water can change their names, but trans people can’t

>do not comply in advance >no one can tell you who you are >live your truth listen cis people, i literally can't use airports in Utah or Florida due to how severe the penalties are for violating the law these magic phrases are for you to feel better about the situation, not me

Another week until I move in, so I can replace the flooring with mall-grade vinyl planks to stand up to both my wheelchair (turning can apply some serious torque) and the cats. Greg’s sad that I’m removing the plush carpet from his bedroom, but not quite sad enough to volunteer to clean up cat puke.

The new apartment has not one but TWO working elevators, which was the motivation to move, since the one elevator at my old building was getting to the age where it was zero working elevators a little too often. I have a taste for that decadent luxury “ability to leave the house,” you see.

First order of business: making some spikes for those push handles. I mean, installing Gentle Discouragement for Helpful Members of the Public.

Look at this handsome devil! That is my new wheelchair in my new apartment! THEY ARE BOTH GREAT

"It's one banana, Michael. How long could it last? Eight days?"

Gamechanger + Katamari Damacy and I would watch the SHIT out of that

It's not that I mind living in a simulation, I'm just mad that I'm in the iteration of the simulation that's clearly being run just to get some pointlessly obscure and difficult achievement.

Monday: Annual listen to fire alarms day! Tuesday: Get interviewed on the radio day! Wednesday: OW OW OW OW OW TIME TO PAY FOR THOSE DAYS

Home depot just used door dash to send me an actual door. I can't stop giggling.

I want more Greg custody, but I can't drive, so I've decided to sell my place and move closer to his school. That was a week ago. Now I have my house half packed, a storage unit, a realtor, and appointments with a plumber, electrician, painter, cleaner, and movers for the next ten days. LFG YO

THREAD: What it’s like trying to purchase internal condoms right now.

Also be nice to have a chair the ministry would be willing to repair. They will not touch a chair they wouldn't have paid for originally, even if it fixing it would save them thousands of dollars. So if this goes through I won't be stranded by a broken down chair until I can afford to fix it myself.

So hooooooopefully this will be approved and I will have both a monster chair that devours hills and wet broken cambered curb cuts, and still have my current chair for when I need to take a taxi / go somewhere transit doesn't go / when this one needs repairs.

But weirdly having a wheelchair already means the ministry is much more likely to pay for one now. Well not that weirdly, that is absolutely the kind of catch 22 nonsense they specialize in. But having proven that I need this wheelchair for my mobility, they can buy a wheelchair for me.

Didn't you just get a wheelchair last year, Brooke? I did! And it is AWESOME and has changed my life, and also after a year I know that the trade-off for being lightweight and foldable is that it cries on hills / cambers and I live in New Westminster, a thoroughly 3-dimensional municipality.

Wheelchair demo was today! IT COMES IN TRAFFIC CONE ORANGE. Well the base does, the frame is black, so HALLOWE'EN: THE CHAIR. Or CLOXACILLIN 500MG CAPSULE: THE CHAIR for the pharmacists in the crowd.

I think they ought to start naming them after major corporations who contribute significantly to climate change. Hurricane British Petroleum. Hurricane Nestle.

Iiiiiiit's covid-having time again! TOOT TOOT! Break out the advil and make merry! Also the tylenol! No I still somehow have a high fever, how about... aw, dantrolene's by prescription? FINE FINE I'll just sit here and attract cats like a magnet.

Do you have an enormous pile of discarded different shaped pillows of various sizes and fillings and thicknesses worth hundreds of dollars or are you not chronically ill.

Oh snap, the 12% is just *chefkiss*

Today a two-year-old watched me use the automatic door opener, and as soon as his mom took her eyes off him, ran over to mash the button. Eyes wide, he whispered “IT’S HAPPENING” as the door slowly opened.

Bright side of daily wound care: often at the same time as public health vaccine clinics, so there’s a steady stream of toddlers who are SUPER IMPRESSED that I get to drive my own little truck around, even indoors.
