“Well I gotta open my Pokemon TCG Pocket pac-“

NO! NO MORE!

Stressed out of my mind and body but a silver lining is I’ve been so busy that I’ve jettisoned all mobile game habits.

I thrive on routine, and games with dailies exploit that aspect of myself. I end up logging in not because I want to play but because of my streak or whatever. -V🔮

Finally some good fucking food -V🔮

Played For the Queen with my local ttrpg group and it remains an all timer -V🔮

Broken clocks and all that

I had to look it up, but yes Grover Cleveland, Andrew Johnson, and Calvin Coolidge were all mayors at one point in their careers but it seems like all of them subsequently had federal positions after their mayorship but before their presidency. No one went straight from mayor to prez -V🔮

Wow Signal

Ignore the fact I’m hunched over I didn’t have anywhere good to put my phone

Me in a pink skirt, light pink cardigan, and purple t shirt

Not sure if I’ve done this exact permutation as an outfit before but I like it!! -A🦉

YEAH its a cruel world

To be fair I was unaware of the trans paper mario Vivian when I chose Viv as my name

knowing a lot of transfems from the internet when we all have the same names means you get a new follower named like Luna or something with an anime avatar and it could be any one of like a dozen people you know or someone altogether different

(I realize that I contribute to this as a Vivian) -V🔮

Text exchange, friend: what was like...what the hell was the erm..."religious structure" before Jesus? it was just, "of fuck don't piss off God?” the before times! the long long ago Me: Jesus was active towards the end of what we call "Second Temple Judaism" bc ancient Judaism centered around the temple in Jerusalem. the Babylonians destroyed the first temple and took the elite Jews back with them into exile in Babylon. only after the Persians conquered the Babylonians could the Jewish elite return and build the second temple. By Jesus's time this wound up meaning there were a few different ways to be Jewish. The Sadduccees were worried about proper rituals to God being performed at the temple. They died out later after the Romans destroyed the second temple. The Pharisees focused on study of the Torah (scripture) and how to follow its laws in day to day life.

Only ask me questions like this if you want like a three scrolls deep answer bc I love answering them -V🔮

YEAH

People love to ask me where I got my cool leather jacket but they hate to find out it was given to me as a gift by a now dead man who got it from the owner of the bar he frequented who was given it by the original streetwear designers that made it

Not exactly a “here’s the ecommerce link” answer-V🔮

Plural system that calls new members “DLC Characters” -M🎺

The poll that made headlines a few months ago about the supposed resurgence of church attendance among Gen Z is so funny bc studies of churches' own attendance stats rather than self reporting show the opposite

People are only socially incentivized to SAY they go to church in this era of fascism-V🔮

😡😤🤬😠👿😾

The cultural consensus arc of

Clowns are funny
to
Clowns are scary
to
Clowns are sexy

Chart excerpt on frostbite for -28 to -39 degrees C: “moderate: skin exposed to the cold can freeze within 10 to 30 minutes (or faster, if the wind is strong)”

Me bundled up in a parka scarf and hat

I’m supposed to be like that metal gear solid woman who breathes through her skin like a frog but instead I live in the frozen north where exposed skin is frostbit in mere minutes -A🦉

Despite what the captions say this Columbo character says “quid quo pro” and I thought I was having a stroke. I sat there stun locked unable to remember the actual word order -A🦉

Yaaaay

Please
