kat cataclysm

thanks, I didn't know I was getting pooled with other IP addresses, so it's possible that someone in the pool is triggering these problems. tomorrow I will set up VPN on this computer and see if that resolves the problem.

yes. & restarted my computer and my browser

...unfortunately about to go out for the evening, but pls share any advice you have & I'll respond in the morning... thnx in advance!

...it just struck me that this issue from a few days ago (regarding google) may be related: bsky.app/profile/juli...
& if it helps, I am not using a VPN on the computer with the spinning circle nor my phone, but I do have it on on a separate computer where I was able to access my account

actually not on this computer, but the one I was just able to post from had VPN on (which is maybe why). also just realizing this issue from a few days ago may be related: bsky.app/profile/juli...

this is Julia Serano (@juliaserano.bsky.social) posting from my alt account). while Bluesky is allowing me to sign in, once I do (from either browser or phone app) all I get is a spinning circle. this account works fine, plus I cleared my cache, rebooted, etc., so not a computer problem. pls advise!

sometimes when I'm tired of blaming god for how much things suck right now, I blame my birds for voting for Trump

just joking. my birds didn't vote for Trump. but I'm pretty sure my cat did

All Fallacies Are Pathetic!

while I enjoy the song "Mr. Brightside", I now cannot help but type "on the brightside" when I am writing. if only that guy's first name was "Bright" and his last name "Side", I probably wouldn't have this problem...

it's important to make sure that your pope never comes into contact with an antipope, as that could potentially be catechismic

I suppose today is a good day to re-up this

image of the character Syril Karn from the TV show Andor. the actor resembles and gives off "Ben Shapiro vibes" IMHO

despite how much I hate Ben Shapiro's politics, I thought he did a really good job in season 1 of Andor and looking forward to seeing how his character develops this season!

...fyi for some commenting: this account is more facetious than serious. & I admit that "never!" is a bit hyperbolic. but in my defense, I was responding to a song on my jazz station that featured bagpipe that was *not* jazzy whatsoever

bagpipes are not jazz. never! I didn't think this need to be said. but apparently, it needed to be said...

just learned yesterday that the creepy doctor in #Severance is played by Robby Benson and I've had the Ice Castles theme song stuck in my head ever since...

saw the movie Conclave last night and [spoiler alert] it does *not* pass the Bechdel test!

tfw you show up at the oral surgeon for a big procedure and in the reception area they are playing The Smiths "Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want" 🙃

tfw you migrate from Twitter/X to Bluesky in order to get away from Elon Musk, but now every other post on Bluesky is about him 🙃

political alignment chart with an “annoying to me personally” z-axis

realizing i never posted it here….but too long have we been limited by the 2-dimensional political alignment chart. i think by using my new tool we can truly map another person's politics. here it is: The Ideology Cube

even adam mckay would think this was too on the nose for a movie he was making

I don't believe in new years. I only believe in old years

whenever I listen to 70s music, they're always singing about "sweet love". why don't we have any of that "sweet love" today?!? instead, all we have regular "love", which is not nearly as good...

99 Erics: a Kat Cataclysm faux novel by Julia Serano 99 Erics: a Kat Cataclysm faux novel is the silly, surreal, sex-positive debut novel by Julia Serano

so apparently some author wrote an award-winning book called "99 Erics" which is supposedly about my adventures and/or misadventures writing a book called "99 Erics." sounds a little too "meta" for my taste...
