terrible side effect of joining a recent Dreamwidth friending meme: there have been a handful of folks who've asked to be friends, so I look at their intro and am immediately like, "No, Absolutely Not Actually." How do you even respond without coming across like a huge asshole

So the ATL subreddit got the current head mod booted and new ones installed and when I read this my jaw dropped tbh. literally what was even the PURPOSE

One of my new year's resolutions is to listen to 50 new albums, so here's your chance to inflict your taste on me: reply with five of your favorite albums ever

Sleep Cycle fight update: they fixed it. after nearly a month. sooooooo you definitely fucking lied when you said it wasn’t possible then lol, you just hoped I would get frustrated and give up. Unfortunately for you I am a double Taurus and I have never given up on anything in my life

making progress in my quest to become the transit app’s number one MARTA rider

I went to the library to pick up some holds, thinking I had two, so I grabbed two, but apparently I had THREE, because the one I really wanted is not in the pile I grabbed, so now I need to go back 😭 Also oh god 3 holds at once help

she’s refusing to escalate my case and insists it isn’t possible despite an agent restoring my account with no problem last time this happened. don’t give Sleep Cycle a single cent you guys, damn

Sleep Cycle's customer service had me go through weeks and a whole thing of sending Apple recepts and screenshots and finally today was like "well if the troubleshooting in my first email didn't work, we can't help you." Excuse me? Why did I send you four versions of my proof of purchase then???

lrp: things are a lot all the time and I don’t post about it much here and I mute and block liberally so I don’t fall soundlessly into an ocean of despair. Things I’m doing:

I cannot emphasize enough the importance of finding one constructive real world offline thing you can do to use your particular skills in service of fighting fascism as a psychological defense against the constant drumbeat of fuckery

more generations need to discover M*A*S*H

Listen I think it's fine that Ru doesn't remember most of the girls' names because I, a Drag Race fan since before season one even started, just read a thread about queens you think should have made it farther and I literally did not recognize half of the names

*cackles in successful new hair color*

LOVE when you email customer service and say "Hi, so I tried xyz like it says in the FAQ and I get abc error" and the response is "If you're having problems do [the thing i literally just said I did]" I swear to god they never even read the initial emails. Are they taught to do this

we are disgruntled but back in atlanta

Now that we come to the end of 2025, let's take a moment to reflect on all we have learned from our [is taken out by fast moving garbage truck that comes out of nowhere]

I never do "Here's what I wrote this year," because you only have to go to our site and scroll through the roughly 4,000 posts I write every year, but nothing will make me prouder than reintroducing the fabulous Harlow to the world. It's the best thing I've written in years share.inquirer.com/XdfXr9

conversations with 5 yr olds like: him: aunt rachel do you have a mom me: yes, my mom is your nana. him: oh. but do you have a mom at your house me: no, nana is my mom and she lives here, i live at my house by myself he seemed baffled by this information lol

me, with a bunch of magnetic bookmarks and a notepad reading @maureenjohnsonbooks.com’s You Are the Detective murder mystery

My mom read over 150 books this year and my dad read over 170. I’m in awe (i feel very good about 16 tbh) but also unsurprised, they each spend every single night reading for at least a few hours

I did flipbooks for all of the Animorphs covers, but they appeared in black and white and very small, so I am posting them here so you can see them large and in color. No AI here!! Just Elastic Reality and painting. You can buy a signed print of this cover here: www.etsy.com/listing/790288384

nothing like being around kids 24/7 for a week to remind myself why i have curated the kind of life for myself that makes sure i interact with kids under 10 as little as humanely possible

My top 5 concerts of 2025 post is officially up! If you've followed me you already know who's number one but pretend you don't racheloddment.dreamwidth.org/14036.html

I ❤️ MY BMW (Bus, MARTA, Walking)

hello it’s #bulletjournal setup time. This is what I have for yearly spreads so far

I just feel like some of y’all need to see my mom’s Star Trek tree. Many of these ornaments have been collected over decades, but the tree skirt she just made this year.

clean, beige, “no makeup” makeup is OUT in 2026, bring back wearing a full beat to sit in your parents’ living room on holidays

looking at the letterboxed reviews for the hallmark movie i watched, “the plot was paper thin” “the conflict didn’t make sense” “it was so cheesy” “the dialogue was silly” Have you no whimsy, no christmas spirit? it’s hallmark, why are you going to an ice cream shop to order tacos?

happy crimin eve, me and the dogs are watching the second new gay hallmark movie this year, A Keller Christmas Vacation. technically it’s about three siblings but one of them is gay so it counts.

it's so interesting what other people's last straws with terrible celebrities are.

My mom makes chocolate pizza every year at christmas and this year she veganized it for me! It turned out just as good as the original so she’s gonna make it this way every year going forward 🥲 #veganfood

ran into my parents’ neighbor on the dogs’ morning walk. he is a very nice elderly man, the dogs ADORE him, and i swear he talks exactly like leslie jordan. EXACTLY

I have just started this year’s lesbian hallmark christmas accidental baby acquisition movie, The Christmas Baby, and happy to report these lesbians are reacting exactly how i would react if I randomly found a baby alone: panic, and googling “what to do with abandoned baby”

More obsessions, more cringe. Writing about what you care about. So what if your story is niche, impractical, unhinged, a bit messy—w/e, someone will love it. You don't need the approval of the void, just the love of the art.

my mother didn’t know you’re supposed to put your liquids in a bag for TSA and I was like “what do you MEAN you didn’t know????” and she was like “well i’ve never been stopped!” WHAT DO YOU MEAN
