Trivial Thingling

i thought i loved languages. recently realized i don't! i love systems! and symbols! and organizing things!!

actual languages as they actually live mostly give me headaches and disappointment :I joy too, of course, but not the same way the other things do

Watching a video discussing the rise of “tradwives,” and the host—a queer woman—just used the term “gender ideology” to mean “forcing people into traditional gender roles,” and I found that super refreshing.

It SHOULD mean that. Rather than “trans people wanting to exist.”

it's the 69th day if the year, and you know what that means: it's my literal, actual government birthday. Buy a dildo!

close up of a partially crocheted cat head, probably about two inches tall right now. it's mostly orange, with a white triangle passing between two black safety eyes. the stitches are tight and the yarn is oh so slightly plush, making a soft dense fabric that looks nice to pet. in the background you can also see my starry blue comforter which has cat hairs all over it. that's irrelevant, but kinda pretty anyway.

I finally playtested the game and it was terrible. Irredeemably so.

Time well spent. I regret nothing. 🎲✂️

Like ok not ALL Irish music is political, there's also "Ah shit, the fey" of course, but like, "tally-tally-whack-fol okay the English have stopped paying attention listen up boys" is maybe half of Irish folk music on its own.

(my digestion isn't great, thanks to many many immune system attacks on my intestines, and i know time from stomach to intestines is pretty significant too, but still . . )

i was maybe slightly hungry, and it had been a few hours since i ate, so i devoured a serving of beef stew

and about five - ten minutes later, i started getting the 'you're starving - eat now or faint soon' signals

i JUST fed you!! there's food right there!! why the shakes !!!

i appreciate that when ditto in pokopia takes a fall that might hurt a toddler or little kid, they flash briefly back to ditto form or at least ditto texture

reminder that some behavior really shouldn't be imitated if you're only human

but player isn't punished for dropping ten feet

Embroidered Zs in various shades of blue and teal stitched in a spiral pattern on black fabric. The fabric is patterned with gold stars and dots circled by gold swirls in various sizes. A mix of orange, pink, copper, and mauve beads are stitched into many of the Zs

Losing an hour of sleep to daylight savings made today the perfect day to catch up on my sleep/insomnia visualization. Here’s all of my sleep since the beginning of the year. Each Z is a night. Thread colors represent the amount of sleep & beads represent different types of wakefulness. #DHmakes

like when it’s all in one place beside a mountain of books it’s like “hello I’m a raging leftist time travel author who writes about how Richard Nixon began or exacerbated everything wrong with America” but when it’s scattered around the house you’re just a weird lady with a Re-Elect Nixon medal

been thinking about this post a lot lately… both the “Listen I don't get to decide when the drunk elf that is my executive actually does the functioning but when he does we have a SMALL WINDOW OF TIME before he finds the schnapps again and we're done” but also the carnival tickets.

This is so clownish. You want a bare minimum coffee and a minimal line? Then why are you going to the place that specializes in making people special little treats and has built its entire business model on fulfilling detailed requests?

This is like saying it's rude to build a bear at Build-a-Bear.

he’s gonna give a speech in front of an AI generated banner that says, “ŃMIMMS1ØN ACĞŒMPLISSHEP”

i feel like the hours of cheerleading should be factored into the 'how long did this task take me'

like it comes with extra prep work, you did the prep work, you should totally get the credit for doing all that prepping 🤷

congrats on thing!! you did it!! even with extra work needed 🥳

is combee's name pronounced like combination or honeycomb

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.

Phone calls are, effectively, polling. And polling of highly motivated voters. This isn't just some random issue, but something so important that it drove a constituent to pick up the phone, overcome their anxiety about contacting a political office, and dial.

That's huge.

To fizzle is to fizz continuously. To nuzzle is to nose something continuously. To grapple is to grip something continuously.

so, to dongle,

i got my new meds today !! i am going to do nothing else today. out of Brain Can Do juice.

first dose tomorrow morning.

Efficient! AuDHD man’s daily task list includes carefully planned five-minute scream An AuDHD man attempting to keep on top of the constant demands of his busy life by tracking tasks has expanded his to-do list to include blood-curdling screams at the horror of it all, sources have…

Paul Shinter, 45, recently made the decision to try and gain some control of his nonsense life by carefully listing what needs to be done each day, including five minutes of guttural wailing at this cursed timeline.

sensory goals 👀 be skritched as wonderfully as this

Throughout history, many methods of divination have been devised. From cards and tea leaves to intestines and flight patterns of birds.

You wouldn't think it is a field one can still innovate, but I'm creating a system based on the flick of cat ears.

It's not finished, but I enjoy the research.

For @knitlover1.bsky.social but also anyone else wondering about smaller inkle looms - here is my Ashford Inklette next to my Lojan Inkeltje.

I wear men's XL gloves. My ring size is 10-11 depending on material/inner curve.

The Lojan is DEFINITELY where it's at for me, & the pegs are 3/4" longer.

apparently people hate nazis and love boobs, who would have predicted this

I’m just saying, Castro/Castro 2028 would actually rule so hard

he’s out here banging on doors until he gets people out of detention and flying them home personally like that’s the shit I want to see

🎶
you are my kitty,
my dearest kitty;
i can keep going
when skies are gray,
for there's a kitty
right here who needs me.
oh dear kitty,
i hope
you will stay
