yall mind if a white boy rides the damn train in tokyo?

oh my god my feet are soooooo sore. I didn’t think I was gonna make it…… I spent the whole day feeling like I was at the edge of passing the fuck out

I’m still feeling quite sickly (I think maybe I got super dehydrated) and every single building is blasting the heat like you wouldn’t imagine. Came to seek relief in the public bathroom of a craft shop: heated toilet seats

Landed in Tokyo. The last 3 hours of the flight (and also now) I was sick as a DOG!! I’ve never had this happen to me before! I need to gather myself before going to meet my folks at the bnb, but at least it’s night now (traveled for 24 hours already but crossed the date line!) so I can rest

flying away now….. if I don’t make it back, I just wanted to tell you that Pony Express ends with Lou—

man, I know this is nearly kind of a “what were you doing at the devil’s sacrament” deal, but like…… there’s a lot of white peoples waiting at the gate………

this family in the lounge has a vibe that is soooooo foul. do you know how wicked everyone has to be acting for me to feel bad for the DAD???

this one closes Wednesday!! please read, vote, and kill this tie that won’t break!! 🙏🙏🙏

El and I are making huge inroads with random slightly older, more conservative-build straight women by being VERY clearly a kinda bitchy put-upon wife and kind but kinda bumbling husband.

smell like a school cafeteria here at Chicabo O Hare International Airport

i don't want a lot for christmas cuz i am a centipede blending in with carpet patterns scooting on my many feet

Richmond is the perfect size city bc it HAS an international airport, but I have never once been in a line for security

“Bah humbug— well, that’s too strong” is actually such a good open to a song. “Sorry for my previous outburst .00007 seconds ago”

rock and roll photos

downloading all of my mutuals graphic novels from the Hoopla App for my like, 24-hr travel day tomorrow

Today I slathered up with Jergens original (you know the one) and wore Lipstick Rose and omg….. a truly exquisite combination

new idea… make Lou face the Shoebill

I have been getting little nosebleeds from the dry winter air & today a long CLOT came out and I got so scared. But it seems like that’s a normal post-nosebleed situation

new theory of the natural world: there’s no such thing as wind, trees just Do That sometimes

you wouldn’t believe what’s happening

across the desk: a romance novel w characters called Kyland (m) and Tenleigh (f)

Fridays are already an “I don’t know how I’m possibly going to make it through the day” day, but we leave for Japan TOMORROW. If anybody wants me to help them print, I’m pulling a gun on them.

El just told me that they got street attention from two different men for smiling so big bc they spotted me down the block on their way to pick me up from my nails. “dog hears its favorite words” behavior

man… come on……. not in front of my pizza……

the intense oshōgatsu nails vision board I brought to my tech and the nails I left with!!

lol we took them back like “why were these returned to us” and they were like “idk they shouldn’t have been” and GUESS WHAT showed back up in the mailbox again today? some of them (not all of them 🙃?)

a photo that represents the city’s demographic makeup…. This is the best mikan I could find this close to the holidays. 2% Asian population

I had a patron genuinely pissed off that I couldn’t make her shitty, blurry photo of a check in her hand print out like a genuine back and front check. People are always bringing in photos of documents taken at 100 paces at night while running, then pissed at me bc it doesn’t come out like a .docx

when god closes a door, he— okay he closed another door, but I just know he’s going to open a windo— okay, he closed another door, but you know what they say, when god closes a door, he opens a— ok, it looks like he just closed another door, oh, going for another door, oh he’s doing two at once, but

I wrote in Care and Keeping that Nuisance has a glass eye that Hero has seen but never seen her wear. Watching Columbo has me turning it over in my mind. I’m enjoying imagining various situations that made her uncomfortable.

bringing something “unique” into my nail tech tomorrow

I’m not sure how I feel about the Grinch becoming like… an iconic Christmas merch character

don’t even talk to me until I’ve hung up my fucking wretched, diseased, and foul, but surprisingly inexpensive baubles

i find it so fucking offensive to have to fight with my phone not to autocorrect my OWN NAME this far into the game. I type it all the time!! It’s in my user name! It’s in my website!! It’s only 3 letters!!!

I made stir-fry with the veg leftover from hotpot & the biggest victory of that was a bunch of Korean radish which I par-boiled in a little dashi, then mixed in w the rest & some ponzu/mirin/sesame oil/sugar -type* sauce. It absorbed everything SO deliciously *don’t remember what I put in the sauce

Hey !! I'm desperately and politely requesting commissions 🥺🙏 I've adopted a ✨puppy✨ but it moved (a whole year) earlier than I expected so I have a LOT of last minute costs to cover ! I'm trying to earn at least $100 to get a good amount of his supplies ! His name is Papaya🐶 ko-fi.com/louiesnow

by god i forgot that starting night shift again meant i have CLOPEN again!!!!!! (falling down on my knees, pounding my fists on the ground, picking up handfuls of sand and letting it fall through my fingers)

(epic voiceover voice) in a world where The Cow Says Moo

the thing abt all of this is, using AI for creative brainstorming is shooting yourself in the foot from the get go bc it’s the predictability machine…. it can literally only tell you the likeliest outcome… it’s the opposite of unique and creative….

Here's the email I sent to my senators this week, I have been contacting them regularly about this since May. Feel free to tweak it and make it your own:

every time I’m having Death of a Thousand Cuts, my darling Angel golden-hearted butch husband brings me a thousand band-aids

repost w your favorite meme you’ve ever made

people LOVE when you do this btw

struggling to help some Spanish-speaking patrons via Google translate and good will… the man kept being like “no Spanish? No spanish???” And I was like “no, no.” 15 mins later, looks at and then GESTURES TO my arm hair and says “NO Spanish???”
