Tried the "Huntrix" meal from McDonald's. Pretty good! I liked both of the sauces, and the seasoning on the "shaker" fries (although it got intense towards the end). The Derpy McFlurry is still sitting in the freezer, but I will say the choice to serve it in an open-top container was a poor one. :P

There are two wolves inside of me. One craves human interaction and wants to go to tonight's game night. The other is already anxious about the human interaction I'll have tomorrow and absolutely does not want to pre-game (so to speak).

I don't mind video games having pranks for April Fool's, in theory. But unannounced changes to player avatars that can't be opted out of feels like a bad idea.

Happy #TransDayOfVisibility ? I'm a disabled trans man in Arkansas, which as you can imagine is super stressful, these days. (would love to GTFO, but $$ and job market...) IDK, right now the only thing keeping me going is spite, and that well is not bottomless. But big ups to my trans bretheren. ❤️

Getting late, and I can't make up my mind whether or not to take a shower tonight. I will tomorrow, because I have a hair appointment, but I prefer to shampoo the day before, not day of, because I use a medicated shampoo that dries my hair out a bit, and she's said it's easier to cut the day after.

Seeing people say good things about the "Project Hail Mary" movie, and feeling bummed I backed out of my book club's group viewing tomorrow because I'm still getting over a sinus infection. :/

Oh look it's "Snow Crash".

Does the New Mexico Museum of Space History count? Those were my favorite trips in elementary school.

So I was woken at 8:30 yesterday morning by contractors working on my sofit. I was woken *this* morning by them working on the sofit of the neighbor adjacent to my bedroom. I am tired and pissed* and stabby. * not at the contractors, at mgmt for shit communication and approving doing this on wknds

What are folks' current recommendations for printers? Preferring wireless, color, ability to scan.

Not me reflexively blowing on my first spoonful of overnight oats like I didn't just take them out of the fridge. 😅

If it qualifies as fanfic: Valdemar OC fics, paper 'zines, 15-16? After that, ST:TNG, Usenet, 19.

I'm also glad to be a trans person on HRT. And fuckin' a, that second sentence. ❤️

You cannot ethically administer a dignified death without first guaranteeing a dignified right to life. That’s the conversation we need to be having.

Name a book from more than 50 years ago that made you love reading, as a kid. Harriet the Spy

still stalled at: 🚨‼️ $233/1200 or $967 still needed for overdue motel due ASAP they RLY need at least half in the next TEN HOURS bc it’s already been so long - I have no car to live in and nowhere to go but the street so everything helps 🥲 #HelpSky ko-fi.com/katiwithoutt...

I’m so tired of being expected to dole out butt pats to guys who can’t even write an email without Dark Clippy whispering to them.

Age verification: I had an E.T. figural alarm clock. When the alarm went off, his chest and fingertip glowed, and his neck extended; to turn it off you had to push his head back down. I can't remember if it played the melody of the Neil Diamond song, or just beeped.

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

Age verification? Our first family computer was a Kaypro II.

I'm a few days late on my shot and now I'm debating whether or not I'm too tired to poke a needle into my belly. 😪

I found my 2026 planner!! (Jibun Techo Days, bought last fall, went Into A Box for the move, and did I remember which box ahahahah absolutely not.) I was so desperate, I was trying to recreate the layout in a dot grid journal, which was *not* going to be sustainable lol @crispy-ghee.bsky.social

Grocery delivery order (scheduled last night) originally had a 5-7 delivery window. Then they said delayed, estimating 8:10. It's 8 and they haven't started shopping yet, so right now I'm not optimistic that I get my food tonight at all. And there's no delivery windows tomorrow.

"Nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight/ Got to kick at the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight" Woke up with this song in my head (the Cockburn version).

Unearthed in today's box investigations: my dice bag!! my AlphaSmart Neo2 (needed batteries replaced and a factory reset) Several more pens to use in new notebooks.

Ringing in the New Year in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, as is tradition (since I got my Switch Lite in 2020).

Intentions for 2026: 1. Craft more 2. Write more 3. Get out of the apartment more

Recalling my probably-autistic dad talking about how *his* father happily ate the same breakfast for decades. (Poached eggs, which he made himself)

Water was shut off for most of the day, for repairs to an underground pipe. It's back on for the evening, but they'll have to shut it off again tomorrow (time/duration tbd) to resume repairs. 😩 They apparently found *five* leaks in that area??

@kateelliottsff.bsky.social Out of curiosity, is Witch Roads a duology? The conclusion of "The Nameless Lands" seems like it could go either way.

I wish I was better at visualizing my characters so I could describe them well enough to commission art. 😅

Just got home from three days with my parents and an afternoon with my mom. My first overnight trip since...2019? Headspace right now is very weird. (Some of it may be allergies tbh)

Algorithmn has been pushing "Epic" on me, so I finally let it play "Would You Fall in Love With Me Again" and I'm just super curious if the whole Circe...thing...happens in the musical, because I feel like Odysseus super glosses over "fucked a witch and had two kids with her while you were chaste"

Got sidetracked and put off my T shot, again, and now it's 1 am. Debating doing it now, or postponing to "tomorrow" again (i.e. after I sleep).

As told by the late dancer and choreographer Agnes DeMille.

One of tomorrow's two meetings got canceled. \o/

Everybody's got me hype to watch "Wake Up Dead Man" but I'm leaving for a holiday party in 30 minutes, and I have a library book due back Tuesday that I have to finish because the hold queue is loooong and it'll be at least a month before I get it again ("Buffalo Hunter Hunter" by @sgj.bsky.social )
