It's not rocket science:

> Laundry room not making $;
> Sign new fancy laundry contract;
> App to pay reqs cell signal (laundry room has none);
> Raise washer cost/load to cover new contract;
> Dryers not free anymore;
> People do laundry in their units now;
> SurprisedPikachu.jpeg

For context: They want to take away my little washing machine because the board added a clause to the bylaws that says we can't own it anymore.

"The pipes can't handle it-" It uses a bucket of water, how is me filling a BATHTUB with laundry water and draining THAT any better????

She didn't answer.

In front of my fuckin' kid, man... I just want to cry.

Just got to have the most fucking uncomfortable conversation IN FRONT OF MY DAUGHTER where our landlord repeatedly tried to justify the laundry room's $6/load cost while we replied less and less subtly that THE SPECIFIC NUMBER DOESN'T MATTER when you're choosing between groceries and clean clothes.

I may not be American, but I'm feeling a glimmer of hope tonight for every one of my American cousins.

Whether you're a fighter, or fighting to survive, you deserve hope. You deserve equity. Prosperity. Comfort. A glimpse at the road forward, and to see something other than dark clouds looming.

... Then walked back to the office in shame to:
- write a post about it on Bsky,
- mirror that post to Tumblr Dot Com,
- reblog that Tumblr post to add more context,
- then reformat the reblog for Bsky again.

I think I need a standardized posting convention lmao.

I should add the rest or she'll call me out:

I proceeded to make a horribly awkward looping joke to cover for the internal whiplash (which outed me as thinking about Dead by Daylight rather than the pretty blonde lady getting murdered on TV).

I bend over to ruffle through a coat looking for my keys when Michael Myers' stalk music starts loudly around me.

My instincts silently scream "OH SHIT WHERE??"

I then remind myself Cat & Kev are watching Halloween literally 8 feet from where I'm standing.

Dead by Daylight is a drug. 😰

I love how when I suggested a few xmas gift ideas for her motorcycle-loving boyfriend my mother basically told me not to bother unless whatever I bought was name-brand.

Woman, I am POOR. The hell do you want from me???

Oh, these are so pretty. I need to do more bottle studies, you captured the light so beautifully.

A floating lantern during the Lunar event in Sky: Children of the Light, intended to carry a message to a missed loved one. It reads: "Grandpa, and Papa: She's 13 now. I wish you two were here to see the wonderful, compassionate, kind human she's becoming. I'm not the best parent, but I want to do you two proud. I love you. I miss you." It is signed with a single alembic emoji.

I like the lunar event in #thatskygame. It's a moment of thought and calm (and bunnies) before the chaos of Days of Mischief.

The addition of the pavilion and memorial lanterns was a nice touch.

I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.

You two are talking about two different things. Mady isn't saying the guy is good in any sense, they are specifically referring to the integrity of the information being provided. There is still time, and reporting on it as if it's a done deal discourages people from calling in to pressure the guy.

TL;DR: My partner is stuck in an abusive job and can't quit because his work insurance is the only reason we can afford my meds, so I'm preparing a doodle drive with the goal of covering my meds long enough for him to switch jobs.
Not yet, but soon. Details:

These grapes, I shit you not, taste like strawberries.
Like, I'm serious. I even gave one to Cat and she tastes it.
He says this kind can only be bought at the end of the season, so I assume they have stupidly high sugar content because of the colder weather.
I'm in heaven!!

HOLY FUCK KEV BROUGHT HOME FRUIT
🍌🍇LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO🍌🍇

Indulged today and had the last of the white rice drizzled with maple syrup.

6/10; Decent utilization of leftover condiments. Bit dry after a few hours, though.

Seeing as how I've eaten nothing but cereal and school-snack-packs of bear paw cookies for 3 days straight I should probably get that commission post up and running.
-_-;

A pen doodle: "CABLE MGMT DAY", with a small "s" added in brackets next to it implying the task has taken multiple days so far. Below, chibi heads of Elixir and Faranae have tired expressions. Elixir asks "Yay?", and Fara replies "Yay." They are tired. The bottom of the page cuts off, but features a crudely-drawn diagram of a desk clamp.

I'm trying to get my setup somewhat less of a fire hazard. My hands ache. :<

Oh, and the Homestuck animated pilot dropped on my kid's 13th birthday. What is it with videogame-related coincidences and this child's life milestones?

Hosted 3+1 boisterous teenagers for my kid's b-day sleepover last night.

Turned the group of "do we have to watch the cartoon?"s into "WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE'S ONLY ONE EPISODE"s with the Knights of Guinevere pilot. Life is good.

These are all FANTASTIC films! '88 Beetlejuice is my annual Halloween go-to, a sort of tradition since I was around 6.

You've reminded me I managed to find a DVD copy of Scooby Doo on Zombie Island last year and the kiddo and I never got around to watching it. Gonna remedy that this year!

My uncle chose MAID not long ago. It's a stressful process. I have nothing but respect for Munsch's choice.

I will be sad when he is gone. But I am more sad now, knowing that his condition has been bad enough for MAID to be on the table at all, let alone approved.

I'll like you for always, sir.

Robert Munsch, a beloved Canadian author of children's books, has chosen to defy his dementia and Parkinson's diagnoses and die with dignity using MAID (medically assisted death).

His books were my childhood, and my baby sister's 9 years later. My now-teen read them, and soon so will my niblings.

Nana collapsed after she got home from Grandpa's funeral 2 weeks ago.

She was found after a few days, and sent to the hospital. She's okay now, but this has been an absolute nightmare.

I just want a return to normalcy... I'm quite sick of grieving, thank you very much.

4 panel comic P1: a right hand draws a wavy stroke on a sketchbook page. A caption box up top reads "draw" P2: the word "CREATE" dominates a panel with a black background, forming in the negative space. Various small shapes surround it. P3: a lone simplified humanoid figure is on the bottom right of a another panel with a black background. A thought bubble forms above their head, the words "if not for others, then at least for yourself" within. P4: The Earth dominates the bottom of the panel, with a sliver of space above it. Clouds swirl and boil across the Earth, which is the only element on the entire page coloured a pink-red. A caption box above reads "now, more than ever"

Finally had grandpa's burial, after 5 months. Made it real.

When I was at my lowest as a little kid, he'd steal me away for a few days if things at home got too intense. He tried his hardest to give me a dose of humanity when I felt like property.

He's the reason I kept my name.

So Skykids, what are your thoughts on that extra scene at the end of tonight's live screening of The Two Embers? Nice of them to give us a peek at the Dawn Ember now that Dusk's story is over. #skycotl #thatskygame

(Also, does this confirm that the child from the Steam launch trailer is Dawn?)
