Got my time off approved for Onewe in April and I'm STOKED

Realized I've been avoiding bluesky cause somehow I ended up following a lot of doomers. I'll unfollow them all when I got more time.

In the meanwhile, celebrating the fact my non-cuddly dog just spent two hours fast asleep while aggressively cuddling me.

I don't care how long ago your Hot Topic phase was when Black Parade by My Chemical Romance comes on you WILL be the savior of the broken, the beaten and the damned

Yeeeees!! We're going to have a little mini avocado grove 🎉

I potted up my avocado sapling and look at this new growth 🥰 (and yes it's getting water tonight!). It overwintered in my less-than-ideal set up extremely well.

Planning my balcony garden for this year. Thinking of picking up a fig tree since they can be in containers indefinitely and can be self pollinated.

Playing current Skyrim save file and focusing on my less favorite areas this time... Truly this is me 90% of the time right now. I've played since launch lol

At a Lower Decks panel.

Q: “If they offered you a Star Trek police procedural, would you do it?”

Tawny Newsome: “yes but the first episode would be them all quitting being cops.”

Give this woman the keys to Star Trek now please.

Want a great slogan for midterms?
"If you FAFO and are struggling because of Trump policies, we understand. The Dems are here for you. Tell us how we can help you "

You get the point.

FAFO will be the theme. Be the solution.

Extremely excited for this

We got this y'all. It won't be easy, joyful or fun... But it's worth it. I'll always stand on the side of Democracy and anyone that believes in it! Love most of y'all.
Here we go!

I used to love reading dystopian fiction in high school.

Reaaaaally not enjoying living through dystopian reality as an adult.

Right? Feels like the upside-down

Just a reminder of some of the context around the TikTok ban: In 2020, Trump tried to ban it via executive order a couple months after K-pop fans used it to organize fake signups to Trump’s Tulsa rally, which led him to publicly overestimate how large the crowd size would be.

I'm glad Tiktok is back up long enough for me to finish following the creators I had missed in the final hours.

But I'm not staying on with the (original) final message send out and who is "saving" it. It hasn't been saved, it's being changed into something I can't support.

I'm sorry I never got to see your account but I hope you find another place to post that content! 💚 Sounds lovely

Patrick Mahomes by himself is formidable, Patrick Mahomes with Travis Kelce is historic but Patrick Mahomes with Travis Kelce with Taylor Swift is invincible

RedNote (xiaohongshu) is extremely fun and welcoming . You do need to follow the rules so I advise lurking before posting anything--there's translated posts to help out. It's not perfect but it's been a great way to connect globally.

It was so sudden 😭

Yaaaay!! I'm glad. Traditional dressings are ranch or blue cheese but you can use whatever sounds good

Hah!! No, it's corn free. It's lettuce, egg, chicken or turkey, blue cheese, tomato, bacon. Not super healthy but delicious

“Because love is an act of courage, not of fear, love is a commitment to others. No matter where the oppressed are found, the act of love is commitment to their cause--the cause of liberation.”

Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed

TikTok is the second online thing I've been on while it went down (first was City of Heroes) and both were startling with their suddenness.

At least NCSoft kept to the original schedule instead of randomly shutting down early, I'll give them that.

Duolingo reports a 216% increase for users learning Mandarin Chinese in the U.S. following a transition from TikTok to Xiaohongshu, also known as “RedNote.”

Every salad I make at home is just so close to a Cobb salad. I should probably just...make an actual Cobb salad at this point.

There are no rules in this no man’s land between Christmas & New Years.

Read all night! Don’t finish a book! Read three books at once!

Just go nuts.

The Greeks absolutely had it right when they included a chorus in their plays. They knew audiences are dumbasses who need to be told “THIS MAN IS BAD. HE IS HERE AS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT *NOT* TO DO. WOE TO THE BUMPTIOUS FOOL WHO WOULD IDOLIZE HIM. YOU ARE NOT, NOR DO YOU WANT TO BE, ALEX DELARGE”

Brain is in a bad place tonight but look at my dog. She's a good creature I can hold onto.
