I don't really need any more challenges, thanks. I just need methotrexate so my body doesn't try to self-destruct.

This really is extraordinary. Take a break from the doom and check this out.

I've been punishing myself a lot lately for not being able to "make it" in academia right now, so I'm sharing this for anyone else who needs to hear it.

I'm feeling connected to my grandparents (and great-grandparents) as I listen to accordion music, eat anise cookies, and drink a nice hot (and free!) coffee.

It's snowing today (highly unusual for this area at this time of year) and schools are delayed. It's all making me want to curl up on the couch with a giant mocha and do absolutely nothing.

Why Do Some People Still Wear Masks In 2026 And On A Completely Unrelated Note Why Is Everyone In The Office Sick Right Now Apart From The Guy In The Mask?

Dear everyone, As per the post from the Bodleian librarian below, AI bots and scrapers are putting just about every website under great pressure, British History Online included. A lot of excellent tech staff are working hard to keep everything working, but outages and siruptions are inevitable.

The momsplaining was intense today, so it's time for a breakfast sandwich and a large mocha.

Had to sing some ELO to my cat on the way to the vet because that's the kind of week we've been having.

I had cat emergency on my 2026 bingo card, but apparently for the wrong cat. Any good vibes our way would be appreciated. 🙏🏼

Nashiro (mascot of Hita City) is an alien with a see-through cranium, showing its brain, which is a pear.

In addition to being inclusive, writing the alt text for images is fun tbh.

I kept needing this, so I finally made it.

congress sounds cool i wish it was real

stole this off reddit for the very niche group of you who will enjoy it as much as I did

These are amazing and well worth zooming in to read.

You, an individual, cannot "fix" the whole world. You can act at the scale of your life. You should act at the scale of your life.

We're having a surprise little snow and sleet storm here in the Seattle area. 🌨️❄️🌨️

Somehow my character (sorcerer) was the only one that did not fall during that battle, and we managed to defeat the enemies and get everyone back up. Here's hoping we find a healing potion or two when we get to loot the room during our next session!

Today in D&D: Will it be a TPK? Stay tuned...

There are some who will hate you for who you are, for no reason other than you do not conform to their small minded notions. Do not let them sway you! You are a warrior, a person of honor and courage, not a puppet who bobs on the strings of their prejudices and bigotry.

There are a hilarious number of dudes at the grocery store this morning, and the floral department is doing serious business.

Going to comfort myself with some keyboard practice on a historical pipe organ, as one does.

Between reviewers resigning and an overworked co-author, I'm not sure I'm ever going to get my articles published. Meanwhile I've been asked to submit a book proposal, help plan a conference, and I'm unemployed, exhausted and burned out. Really want to go live my best coven life in the woods. 🪾

I haven't had a MCAS episode in a while, so I guess I was due for a good one. There went all my plans for today!

Where we live, we don't even have to watch the game because fireworks go off every time Seattle scores.

IMPORTANT OLYMPIC NEWS: THE POLISH FIGURE SKATING TEAM HAS A PLUSH PIEROGI

If you'd like to honor Fobazi, you can contribute here, and help Elena navigate expenditures amidst grief and support Chloe, too.

NEW: The Institute of Museum and Library Services is now accepting applications for its 2026 grant cycle. But this time, it has unusually specific criteria: It “particularly welcomes” projects that align with President Donald Trump’s vision for America.

Our older kitty had a seizure tonight, and it's so hard to not be able to do much to help her. She's recovering now, thankfully. What a month of a week. Can we get a do-over?

I'm feeling awful today, so there will be no emails. I used my energy to call my senators, and now I will care for myself through crafting and music.

Such gutting news. I will miss our occasional chats, and will forever be grateful that I got to know you. 💔

I was looking through my old Burda magazines (the ones with all the printed patterns inside) and found a Borders receipt. Suddenly I remembered how much those trips to Borders used to heal me. Roll 3d4 + 8.

Missed all the Gen X discourse yesterday, but those of us who are actually in the generation have explained this ad nauseam. We had the ultimate worst bullies and mean kids in our generation growing up, and they were never, EVER checked because adults didn't GAF. Also, Black Gen X is Democratic.

In solidarity with all those standing up for our communities against the brutality of immigrant detention and ICE occupation, we're offering free ebooks of three crucial books about migrant justice and border abolition. We’ve also added a list of additional recommended reading:

This is a phenomenal read that left me in tears.

DO HARM TO YOUR ENEMIES; TREAT YOURSELF WITH KINDNESS!

I feel like things are continually snapping somewhere inside of me, and that's not a great feeling. Hard to explain that in a Zoom meeting, though.

I paid my therapist a zillion dollars to tell me this, so I’m passing it on to anyone else in MN who needs to hear it: Think of taking time away to recharge not as not doing the work, but as doing quality control for the work. You’re not going to be able to show up to do it well if you’re depleted

Bing has blocked neocities and all user subdomains from its search index. We’ve spent months trying to resolve this through official channels and gotten nowhere. Until this gets resolved, we are recommending that people do not use Bing. Blog post with details: blog.neocities.org/blog/2026/01...

Called my reps again. I always get broken up at the end, but I don't care, and hopefully if they hear it they'll know how deeply I meant what I said.

Workday keeps sending emails yelling at me to complete mandatory training, except I'm not currently an employee. Fun times.
