Thrift runs very deeply in my veins to the point where I feel the need to push back against it.

Tomorrow my dad turns 77. :)

Taylor Tomlinson has a new Netflix special called "Prodigal Daughter" and it rocks. She talks about religious trauma and being queer.

if @samreich.bsky.social thinks his young lefty extremely-online audience doesn't know how to torrent, well. that's incorrect. you get paid because people think you're an ethical company and you just took a giant shit all over that

deeply disappointed that @dropout.tv is doing this copaganda bullshit (a Game Changer crossover with The Rookie). the function of The Rookie is to manufacture consent for the LAPD. congrats, that's now the function of Game Changer too.

anyways! i'm in a bad mood i should probably have a snack

Hey @dropout.tv I am really disappointed in the crossover between Game Changer and the cop show "The Rookie." Please do better.

I get so annoyed at Sally's barking, and I feel like a monster when i yell at her about it, but she doesn't actually care that I'm annoyed at her. hahah. also it's easier to be annoyed at her than furious at my brother or sad about my mom etc.

Just thinking about how nowadays you are always having to ask 'do you take cash?' and you're not surprised if they say no, but for most of the last thousand years or so that would have been almost unthinkable in most establishments. Weird isn't it, how massive changes sneak their way in? Hi!

Yo @dropout.tv @samreich.bsky.social like... Wtf? A copaganda show? Owned by DISNEY? Do you want us to cancel our subscriptions? A few months ago we were like well why don't I give you even more money? Did you really need this paycheck that much?

I watched Plur1bus and Severance back to back, maybe not the best idea because I'm going to get them mixed up in my brain. BUT Pluribus is way better at least so far.

Also on Apple TV, I watched "Come See Me in the Good Light," a documentary about Andrea Gibson and their wife, made as Andrea was dying from cancer.

#Severance the ending was a bit disappointing but of course it's hard to wrap up something that complicated. also tons of flashing lights in the last episode.

Well I planted myself in my chair for most of the day, excepting barn chores and bins. Good job self. I watched Severance.

Books do not bring drugs into prison. Prison guards bring drugs into prison.

#Severance Is "Burt and Irving" an intentional reference to Bert and Ernie do you think?

Visited my parents for a bit and took the dog in to see them. Sally gets so much love from the staff, residents, and visitors, and then there is the occasional person who is afraid of her and I feel kind of bad about that but it's not her fault. She is friendly and nice.

My stomach has hurt all day. :(

In Shrinking a character said that when he was living with his parents, they made him feel guilty for not getting better. that was interesting. A big disabled feeling for sure.

Watched "Severance", "Shrinking", and Taskmaster Australia today. thank you TV for helping me rest.

Cat loafing on a stool in front of the plants area.

In "shrinking" and also in "severance" there is a sad white guy who is grieving his wife who died in a car accident.

Tried to stay off my computer today. Lonely! but i think it helped with my eyes and my head pain. I watched the beginning of Severance and several episodes of Taskmaster.

Cat Leo is helping me watch taskmaster Australia

Functioning? I Showed Up. Let’s Not Get Greedy.

Trying to watch TV (which is 8 feet away) rather than be on my computer so much, and i think my eyes are appreciating it. I signed up for Apple TV and am watching Pluribus and Shrinking.

Today was pretty good! I watched a lot of TV, and took frequent breaks to do small chores. Also talked on the phone with a friend.

Tonight I watched "The Lost Bus," the best bus-survival movie since "Speed."

uhhh i probably have this, thinking about the number of times I've left the doctor's office and been massively upset, burst into tears etc. Also pretty standard for the dentist these days.

Face hurts. trying to keep my chin up

Sure, feel good about being productive. And also remember that productivity is an overwhelmingly overvalued commodity in our culture. Productivity can feel great-- but we were not born to be productive. We were born to be authentic. To be & express & develop ourselves.

I took my dad to the accountant the other day. It's someone he's known for a while and she asked him how he liked living in the assisted living place. Now, my dad was tired and anxious, but he said "it's okay but i wouldn't want to do it for the rest of my life." oh boy

Felt pretty sick today but made it through. The cat and dog seem content at least. (I did not go to the barn today).

oh wow Connor Storrie is hosting SNL

Sleeping dog has the right idea

(Meme answer) This is not a fun answer, but the movie that made me the most angry, of all the many films i've seen in the theater, was the Chris Rock movie "Top 5". It was so mean-spirited.

Short track speed skating is on. It looks like birds flying in a group, so cool.

The dog that participated in the skiing was a Czechoslovakian Wolfdog en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Czechos...

Ironic how Walton Goggins is a spokesperson for WalMart which has the same color scheme as Vault Tech in Fallout

Also lately, Sally does not want to get up on my (rather high) bed or jump up into the car. I wonder if she is having some hip pain or something. I suppose I can start her on glucosamine.

Sally find comfort in sitting on my feet. I think I need to adjust my chair situation to accommodate this on her nervous days.

Sally is nervous about the wind today.

DOG AT THE OLYMPICS FULL COMPETITION HIGHLIGHTS

Watched an interview where the expert said something I'd never considered. She said that in biathalon (ski shooting) you can't dope because anything that would enhance your skiing would limit your shooting, and vice versa.

I am a big fan of the Handsome Pod and TIL that Fortune Feimster is coming to my town later this year

why are we getting a makeup tutorial....

Yikes someone really should've nixed this outfit for the Georgian skater. #Olympics
