Yeah, this sums up the '20s really well. Seriously, I thought we were doing better but I'm apparently a Pollyanna idealist....

Best cover of Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend I've seen. Now, anyone know where I can find a dragon?

I'm reading Pseudoscience. An Amusing History of Crackpot Ideas by Lydia Kang, btw. Highly, highly recommend!

Getting drunk while reading a book on pseudoscience. Wild and crazy introvert life, baby!

Dressed up for doctors appt. Bare arms a)because summer and b) nightmarishly hard to get blood out of me, so I give them as much access as possible.

Watched Civil War last night. Probably the most frightening movie I've seen in a long time. Not recommended if you're already stressed about the current state of the USA, btw, also very violent (not gratuitous, it's a war movie).
The look was perfect, I'd swear I've driven down some of those streets

Family of suspect in Colorado fire attack taken into custody of US immigration Authorities also reportedly revoked valid visas for Mohamed Sabry Soliman’s wife and five children

To all my fellow Democrats, apparently we're a demonic cult. Since I'm pagan, and was already going to Hell, I've tricked out my handbasket. It has padding, good music, and a drinks cabinet! You're all welcome!(but seriously, I miss one meeting 😆)

Do to others as you would have them do undo you!

I love this song to sing along to, but man, it's real and chills me to the bone....

Dyed hair darker than my normal copper. Not sure if I like it yet or not, it's probably the darkest I have ever had my hair. Still a redhead though, we have way more fun than blondes. 😁

Disco Elysium, or for a good demo Esoteric Ebb

Heads up. I normally shop at Publix for most things, but after noticing how much less cereal is at Aldi's, did an experiment. My grocery bill went from ~40 to 22!
I buy store brands and am on a very limited income (around 60 for food for the week), so that is huge! YAYS!

Brilliant, just brilliant! I laughed so loud I startled someone outside.

To explain that sentence, I used to weigh over 300 pounds. At my skinniest I was 150 (and felt too skinny). I'm now about 180, and trying not to gain more, but that's a challenge with the meds I'm on making me hungry normally for the first time in like 15+ years.
(I had an RnY gastric, that's how)

Got a 5 minute lecture on microplastics, high fructose corn syrup, and their effects on aging because I dared commit the sins of a) buying a coke and b) not bothering with makeup. Dude was trying to get more clients for his personal training business, the WRONG WAY.
I lost an entire copy of me, foff

Anyone know what kind of plant this is? The berries look like blackberries and it has some thorns...

SCIENCE! trivia tonight. I am so psyched; I even reviewed the periodic table since AP chem was a long time ago.

Doing job applications is soul-sucking.

I found my favorite (and most valuable IMHO) ring! It's a Roma head coin from the 1st century, or that's what I was told when I got it. It's been lost for a year, I thought it was underneath the bed, but nope, hanging out with my knitting stuff. YAYS!

Renn Faire last weekend. The headdress is actually a necklace pinned into my hair.

Oh, HAPPY EASTER! 🐰🐣😁🐰

Gave myself a mani and Pedi, mostly to hide a bruise under my left thumbnail. Currently chilling by a pond, watching the Indian wedding reception and listening to Behind the Bastards

Fun day at the Renn Faire!

Going to the Renn Faire tomorrow, YAYS! First weekend, and I have a friend who works there and got me a ticket.

Sadly, I can't do medieval costuming anymore, so I'm pulling out the Rev War stuff (blue dress). Close enough, given that I've seen Deadpools there....(old pics)

It's okay to acknowledge that media you loved earlier in life isn't actually that great, looking back. It doesn't invalidate your happy memories of playing/viewing/reading/listening to it.

I might have loved some things I cringe at now. F Troop comes to mind....

Stewed okra and tomatoes makes me happy. Okra is a fav veg of mine, especially fried or raw, but this is good too!

Job hunting right now is soul-destroying. I will work my arse off, I'm smart, and good with customers. Just sucks....
