There is a man in an extremely sharp tailed suit on my train this morning. He looks so out of place riding the lightrail. Actually looks out of place in the Bay Area in general. Maybe he’s visiting from someplace where they were suits and republic transit?

Sprucing up my Etsy shop for the holiday season🎁 It's been somewhat neglected since I started working full time. mountainliondesigns.etsy.com

There is a woman at my office today wearing a calf length, pale blue denim jacket that is givng both “lab coat” and “bathrobe” vibes, UGG slippers and an enormous messy bun piled on top of her head. She looks like a mad scientist who 🧵⬇️

Do you think the faked death in the Enterprise Incident was directly inspired by McCoy’s use of the same trick in Amok Time?🤔 And whose idea was it? 🧵

Read the thread for sandwich puns😄

Company websites are all like, To find out how much our services cost, we’ll need your: Full name Email Phone # Date of birth Social security number Credit card number Blood type Shoe size Meyers-Briggs type Latitude Longitude Elevation Employment history 3 kinds of ID And a unique user name 😊

Watching old episodes of Game Changer and Sam Reich just gave a contestant the prompt "I didn't ghost you, I died". Which sounds like a Wangxian modern AU plot to me🤔

Wow! That… sure is a choice, there. Teen Vogue had become rather famous and beloved for its clear eyed, fearless journalism directed to teenage girls. Apparently they’ve decided to set all that brand cred on fire. RIP Teen Vogue, I guess🪦

I’m pretty sure that the amount that I argue with trolls on the internet is inversely proportional to how much sleep I’ve gotten.

There is a blood drive at work today. My sense of social responsibility says I should go donate. My sense of “The last time I had a blood test, I ended up in the ER with a black eye because I fainted, fell out of the phlebotomist’s chair, and face planted into the floor” says I should not do that🤔

With SNAP/EBT cuts looming I highly recommend downloading this app! Basically restaurants and other food businesses will have available bags of random food they don’t wanna waste for ppl to buy for hella cheap! This has saved me sooooo many times when I only have $5 and need some food.

Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have. Python foundation said no and rejected the grant. If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.

anything can be a slowburn if the writer is bad with updates

Once again, now is a GREAT time to deactivate and delete your Spotify account. #FuckICE #FuckThisShit Spotify stands by ICE recruitment ads despite artist backlash - AV Club share.google/ktrNy1bAmCDl...

From the Larchives: The Rocky Horus Picture Scroll. One of my favorite works. I had the assistance of an Egyptology PhD student to translate the Time Warp phonetically. Enjoy :)

Hey everybody, come listen to my husband geeking out about ASL and sign languages in general on A Language I Love Is😃

FATED STATES PHONEBANKERS: you can join the Sister District phonebanks to help send a blue wave through Virginia for the statewide elections there on November 4. State legislatures are the first and foremost line of defense against authoritarianism. Sign up to phonebank (with training!).

Artists, quote with how you draw long hair I don’t draw, but I like to embroider long hair:

I would very much like for everyone to stop arguing that things they want you to do are easy. If someone says that it’s hard for them, then it’s hard for them! Either share tips to make it easier or focus on why it’s worth doing even if it’s hard.

cry havoc and let slip the frogs of war

It must be bedtime. I can tell, because for the first time today, I'm not tired.

That’s… *thinks about each book in the series* remarkably accurate😆

Are we going to let them get away with this? No. No we are not. So far, Netflix has not made any move to pull these shows. That means that, for now, our action should be focused on demonstrating to Netflix the value of these shows and counteracting the effects of the boycott. Here's my ideas: 🧵

Me, this morning: “Maybe tea will help me get my brain in gear this morning.” *Goes to the office micro kitchen. Puts a tea bag in a mug and stands staring at the ice machine, trying to figure out what to do next*.

This looks important. Opening the link the link to remind me about it when I’m awake🥱

HANG IN THERE! 화이팅! #art|#kpdh

Oh, for fuck’s (Weary). I guess I’d better hurry up and buy that new couch now.

This seems like extraordinarily poor timing🤨 Maybe wait until everyone is not actively mad at you to raise your rates? Follow me for more savvy business advice!

Ok, that’s enough hanzi. Time for a nap😵‍💫

Call your reps. We know that Dems will throw trans people under the bus even without the govt shutdown on the line. They need to hear from everyone but especially cis folks that this is not acceptable.

Maturity is typing up a careful, concise explanation of why someone is WRONG on the INTERNET and then deleting it, because it’s not worth engaging.

As a reader who likes Tor, reads many of their authors and follows their Reactor Magazine, this news increases my positive feelings toward the company🙂 Just saying.

Comment period ends on September 13

I’m in International Shipping No Man’s Land (Thanks, Trump😛) and mostly read ebooks, but I love this idea. (I suppose I could do this myself, but it’s a toss up whether free time or international shipping will be a thing again first😅)

My first thought was Star Trek: TNG (Obviously?). Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood also occurred to me. In “I should have thought of that one!” are Avatar: TLA and T. Kingfisher’s Paladin books, specifically, the Order of the White Rat.

The final hours are upon them! Help keep them reach their goal!

New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

National Guardsman: “Sir, we should post a guard on the Krispy Kreme. Right away.” Commanding officer: “The Krispy Kreme?” 2nd Guardsmam: “Everyone knows donut shops are a hotbed of crime, sir!” Commanding officer: “…” Commanding officer: “Bring me an Original Glazed.”

so, to understand this story there are a few things you need to know - my cat, Gus, believes he is a trained support animal - he is not (he has relatives who are, but he is not) - he believes he is a seizure-detecting dog - he is not a dog - I do not get seizures

When I was in my mid 30s, I saw older women on the internet saying that, after 40, you are no longer obligated to give any fucks about what other people think. I have been trying to lean into this as hard as I can since I turned 40😄

Security guard at work: “Good morning.” My AuDHD brain, caught mid internal rant about shoes as I try to swipe my badge without dropping my breakfast tray: Shit! What’s the right answer??😳

I do, in fact, see other women talking about bra shopping. What an odd thing to get worked up about. I like Jockey’s Seamfree Cotton Blend Light Support Bralettes. 🧵

My blocked words list is not working very well today and I am tired of arguments where all sides are wrong and nobody is listening😩 Time to get off the internet, I guess.

Nimona: “Arm chopping is not a love language!” Lan Wangji: “Depends on whose arm.”

Status: WorldCon is happening and I’m not there, so I’m sad.
