We're reading Small Gods by Terry Pratchett for a book club, and while I loved Hogfather and Equal Rites, I'm not loving this one at all. So instead I'm reading book one of The Murderbot Diaries, which was one of the other picks for this round. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE BETTER CHOICE. Loving it.

Trying to remember the fan tricks I haven't practiced in years. Oof.

More LED fan nonsense.

Don't worry, the doom isn't going anywhere, you can put the phone down and go for a walk.

Not to sound old, but... I thought I was socially inept but ye gods, drugged up festival kids (I say kids because anyone under 35 is a child to me) are the worst. They have zero manners or understanding of even the basic social graces, boundaries, or conversational skills.

Another one? C'mon, there's been six already.

"All I heard was the hum of the forest, majestic and steady and perfect in every way. This was home." - A Lonely Broadcast book 2 by Kel Byron

Absolutely.

I for one look forward to [REDACTED]

Hi, I'm my own birth (And Buntzen Lake, a pool, falling headfirst down stairs, childhood car accident, blood clot, and ex crashing my car into a cliff face.)

Fans. Because I had the energy for it even if I'm horribly out of practice.

Happy Feast Of Sekmet!

Temple Of Love by The Sisters Of Mercy

For almost 5 seasons every time someone says "The Great Link" on DS9, my brain goes "Sausage Link".

THE FINAL 3 EPISODES OF DEEP SPACE 9! This ends tonight!

DS9 S7E9 Dukat has gone full cult leader.

My flavour of autism involves being extremely sensitive to noise and sound. But I can only afford an apartment, not my own house, so I'm trying to find ways to muffle outside sounds. I am adding accoustic panels to the bedroom ceiling before I pin blankets over top. I just want to sleep.

Holiday candles were on sale so I had to get the "crackling hearth" because it smells like chocolates and patchouli.

Almost done season 6 and there's an episode opening with Quark just flat out sexually harassing his female employee. Everytime he seems like a good character the writers remind us that he's sexist as fuuuuck.

I don't do holidays, but we're watching Nightmare Before Christmas and the Jim Carrey Grinch on discord, so, a Merry Gothmas to everyone.

DS9 season 6 .....Odo did it all for the nookie.

Despite growing up in the PNW, I still don't like the rain. This must be what it's like on the ferengi homeworld.

On to season 5 of DS9. Worf was never my favourite character but he's really starting to annoy me.

DS9 S4E21 the friendship between Odo and Luaxana warms my little black heart. S4E22 Bashir is totally jealous

How to summon back the sun on Winter Solstice: 1. Face the east 2. Annoying yourself or burn herbs associated with the sun 3. Take a deep breath 4. Shout "APOLLO YOU PROBLEMATIC TWINK! GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE!"

Todd damnit. It's Wham-aggedon, which is fine, I don't mind that song, but the clinic isn't playing the original, it's some twangy cover by a country twat. KILL IT WITH FIRE.

I'm hella early for my vaxx appointment but it's a rare sunny day so I'm just standing outside, basking like a cat while I drink a coffee from the local shop. The crows are looking at me like like they know I have scones in my bag.

It's almost the solstice and it's the dark Moon phase. This is definitely a good pivotal point if anyone has been meaning to sit down and decide what kind of changes to make for the new solar year. Or just....enjoy the darkness. Whatever works for you.

Saturnalia begins tonight! Eat, drink, and be merry!

DS9 S4E14 Cardassians really do have a weird way of flirting.

Show me how your 2025 went

If you see this you must FEEL IMPLORED to post a picture from whatever you are using without explanation.

20/20 some of these aren't that old.....right? Guys? 👀

DS9 S4E10 another Bashir and Garak episode (Yay!) but it's James Bond (ew). I'm laughing so hard at Mona Lovesit. Todd help me.

Whelp. John Dies At The End has made it's way in to the comfort watch list. And I'm really suspicious of that pile of single serving soy sauce packets in my fridge.

My sparkly green dice set is just determined to fuck me up. When playing regular DnD style games they roll low and tons of 1's but as soon as I'm in a game that I need to roll under my stat it's nat 20's and 18's. CURSED DICE.

Game time selfie! Playing Hollows and the GM has a 100% TPK streak.

Almost finished season 3 of DS9 and is it just me or is Kai Winn THE W O R S T?!

Walking into 2026:

In today's episode of Shit Phoenix Says At Work: "My Weiners are squeaking!"

You will be visited by three spirits

Gingerbread houses aren't any cheaper on the island.

DS9 S3E18 Oh goody! It's a Bashir and Garak episode! 💜

I love Bashir so much. He's my favourite Starfleet doctor after Beverly Crusher.

Back on my workout bullshit after 3 months of absolute exhaustion. ....ow.

On to season 3 of DS9. Bloody cardassians....hmm, sounds like a variation of a Bloody Mary. Except Garak. He's fun.

Honestly the only reason I want a partner is so we can buy a house in the middle of nowhere so I don't have to deal with upstairs neighbors who party like frat boys until 8am. Formal incident report already submitted to the building manager. I'm going to run away to the forest and never return.

DS9 S2E22 Loving the development of Garak and Bashir's relationship. 💜

Did I just quote Alien to the general manager? Yes, yes I did.
