It’s basically a machine that uses lights, sounds, and light electrical stimulation to induce mild hallucinations.

My mother went from being Very Catholic to being a serial monogamist who remarried and divorced lots. She also joined a cult or two, which brought some of these characters into her life.

I had four last names by the time I was 12, and the man whose last name I currently bear was a professional psychic who ALSO used to hook me up to an audio-visual entrainment and cranial-electro stimulation machine to try and “jumpstart my mental evolution.”

You very well may have 💚

How I arrived on Bluesky (after scoring an invite code).

Reading people’s anxious screeds about subjective gender norms is as exhausting now as it was back when I was wee and unbothered about whether I was playing with the He-Man or Evil-Lyn action figure.

My eczema is acting up just reading “wasabi facewash.”

Several straight men who like sports pucks and sports balls have befriended me over the years.

Bless them, but when they get going on team scores and games, I must look like I’m astrally projecting to escape the conversation.

A blessing for modern times:

“May good fortune follow you with the intensity and persistence of a Shen Yun advertising campaign.”

Jealous. We have … another referendum on this.

I’m still waiting on the final report

I love poppyseed anything

Two books/deux livres : “Cornish Horrors” and/et « Petit manuel d’histoire du Québec ».

In other news: Today’s random second-hand bookstore haul.

Two coins; one Queen Elizabeth’s profile and the other with Charles’.

I’m biased, but I rather preferred the Queen’s profile on currency.

That (and a condo somewhere with less punishing weather) is what’s on my “if I won the lottery” list.

It be great to give that person who can’t afford to travel the trip they always wanted to take, for example.

Ever wish you had loads of disposable income so that you could secretly surprise people with things they really want or need, but can’t afford?

I’m furrowing my eyebrows as I drink my cup of single estate, first flush Darjeeling.

The best kind, although I, too, prefer mine without the gratuitous glory 🕳️.

Putting some of my long terms savings in silver makes me feel like a character in Looper (2012).

That is … a thing. Also: Raspberry?

I am … intrigued? (Although I’ve never eaten a boysenberry.)

The sheer panique of the medical practitioner who took the blood pressure today (vampire vitals over here) was rivalled only by the dread I felt an hour later when I thought I’d lost some vital tax documents.

Mental check-in...meme only.

Haha, yes, well that is another (although not unrelated) matter!

Happy to hear!

Is carrying a cotton handkerchief weird?

(I absolutely use regular tissues for most nose blowing, but a hanky is useful for many other things.)
