Optimystical Studios next up Geek The Halls Nov 29 & 30

Looking forward to less pain, but am realizing that I don't have the PTO to cover all the time I'll be missing.
Trying not to go into scramble mode until I can at least sit upright for an hour.

And yet none of this is as painful as it was Saturday or Sunday before I got the stinker removed.

Being limited to tylenol for recovery pain is a bit butts.
I have a very small amount of oxycodone I can supplement with but knowing my body the recovery pain will go down and then back up so I'm trying hard not to take them. Because it's only like 3 days worth.

We had a whole Omelas about this!

That is friendship.
Random acts of kindness.

I am truly and genuinely so glad you asked!

Rolling Stone NEIGHBOR INDICTED IN MURDER OF 'KING OF THE HILL' STAR JONATHAN JOSS The actor was shot and killed by Sigfredo Ceja Alvarez near his home in San Antonio, Texas, in June BV EMILY ZEMLER NOVEMBER 19, 2025

"Shot and killed"

He was MURDERED in a hate crime by someone who was tormenting Jonathan and his husband for a long time.

Indigenize journalism!

He stepped in front of and saved the life of his husband. This was not random this was intentional. He was murdered. It was a hate crime.

I live.
Sore AF and will be needing to move slow at the bench for a couple weeks but hopefully this will solve a lot of my pain issues.

Also this took about 20min write so apologies for hammer qme spelling.

Surgery in bout 45min.

This year has just been so much. I started the year with a ruptured ulcer & almost needing a blood transfusion.
Today I'm headed back to the ER (was there Saturday) for an emergency Gallbladder surgery.
This will be my 5th personal ER visit this year.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Thank you for the kind words.
I had Caitlyn's size already made but decided I needed to cast hers with yours and do the inlay together so they were made with the same materials. Because I'm a sappy romantic.

Millionaire Tax That Inspired Mamdani Fuels $5.7 Billion Haul in Massachusetts A millionaire levy in Massachusetts that New York City mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani holds up as a model for taxing the rich has generated $3 billion more in revenue than expected without forcing...

NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected.

And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.*

When you don't have time for the full freakout

RE starbucks picket line--the relevant detail is "picket line, do not cross." Pass that along. Proclaiming that you are in no danger of doing so because you are too aesthetically pure to let Starbucks coffee pass your lips is...unhelpful and does not give the impression you perhaps imagine it does.

Making "jokes" about bad people having tiny dicks is not funny. And it's an immediate unfollow and likely a block from me.

The bases I use allow for swapping nibs and work with converters or international standard cartridges.

Do I need to turn you a fountain pen for Christmas?

An anonymous donor just offered to match up to $1,000 to my fundraiser in support of health benefits for @scarleteen.com's staff and an as-needed health fund for volunteers, which means your $1 is worth $2! Anyone want to join in with ANOTHER match to turn that into $3?

Scarleteen has been doing sex ed for ALL since 1998 and is there with sex ed for ALL, to the tune of some five million visitors a month. The people who do this work deserve health care. I am so proud to support their work, and know many of you ALSO believe in sex ed for all, SO now's your moment.

this is literally never not accurate

it is weird to me that you can say "crazy has a bad history", "moron has a bad history" "drawing a witch with green skin has a bad history" but "gay panic" gets a forever pass bc "language evolves" (true) and "it's reclaiming" (it's not, not when you had no idea the phrase already existed)

Capping THC at 0.4 mg PER CONTAINER?

But also almost non-existent access to quality healthcare, including pain management.

They hate us

seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

Folks, a pill to swallow: if current Democrats will cave to your healthcare, they will cave to your voting rights. If they will cave to you not getting paid for 40 days, they will cave to LGBTQ+ marriage. If they cave to stalling our airplanes, they will cave to destroying our National Parks.
