Widowed and nonbinary. I talk a lot about Star Trek, Ohio, cats, dinosaurs, and whatever I’m watching. The Columbus Dispatch once called me a “local cartoonist and customer-service rep.” (They/Them)

Some people really seem to be in it for the love of the slop. It’s so weird.

I did! Though I already know I’m going to get it.

Oh wow! I don’t think I process it as a literal smell, but I could absolutely see that being something I can do. I am very attuned to time, for better or worse.

There’s a flavor to time, like how each house has a smell. Sometimes I’ll listen to a ubiquitous song I’ve never liked, and it will scratch the right neuron where I can feel the background of a long-lost year.

How is that? I kinda want to get some of both to try it.

It’s amazing how much 90s nostalgia a song about the 70s can hold.

Not that I know of, but it sounds like it could be.

Just for DMs. (Or I could do age verification, but I’m not doing that)
The whole law was basically to block PornHub, but PornHub decided the language didn’t apply and didn’t self-block like it did in other states. But Bluesky still requires verification for DMs. This is what I see without it.

This is the second Mike DeWine photo I’ve posted this evening. That’s probably enough internet for tonight.

He’s not a good governor (he was briefly then realized it might be hard), but he is a living cartoon character who makes a good meme.

Anyway, here’s number three.

That I can watch all the *checks map* car sex I want, but I still need a VPN to discuss movies with my friends On Here really is Ohio in a nutshell.

My brother and I have very different circles that also overlap in a lot of ways, and it sometimes feels more than a little were the Frasier and Niles of a small slice of Columbus (I am obviously the Niles).

It’s the thing that keeps me in Columbus. I am by nature a homebody, but between school, local internet (especially the old @colsunderground.bsky.social forums and Columbus Twitter), plus friends I met through comics and friends of friends, I have this wonderful web of offline friends.

I don't want to own Dragon Age: Origins truck. Dragon Age: Origins truck should roam free across Central Europe.

But I want to see Dragon Age: Origins truck. To experience it. To know such beauty still exists in our world, crafted by hands not so different than mine, to know it is able to endure.

I have other friends, one very close, I’ve known since I was a toddler, who went to Fort Hayes (kind of our sister school) or East, my 9th grade school.

I like being a townie. We all moved away, but a lot of us moved back and reconnected (or met through mutual friends) in our late 20s and 30s.

Oh nice! I’d like to get back over there before the building closes. Though it’s time. From what I could tell it hadn’t been updated since at least my time.

The 98/99 CAHS Anime Club. Which includes @benlelandoh.bsky.social who I talk to daily. I see a few others a few times a year. I’ve run into two more people here in the grocery store recently.
Going further back, I’ve known @baddadadam.bsky.social since first grade.

Garfield holding a chainsaw(labeled as Mr. Chainsaw) behind an old desktop computer that says "error" on the screen a bunch. He has a ferocious look on his face and is thinking "compute this!"

Jim Henson tried for years to bring a live show to Broadway in which the puppeteers would be seen as they performed. Backers were unconvinced an audience would buy into the illusion.

Jim knew better. He knew that the audience's eyes would immediately go to the puppet--and he's right.

That's like an apology tour for making Darth Vader Luke's father. "We're sorry for the most interesting creative choice we made in the 80s :( "

Fucked up, we all know the correct way to watch Ninja Scroll is late at night on an nth generation VHS bootleg, the volume one notch above mute and your finger on the Source button at all times
