@literaticat.bsky.social

I love that for you

btw I made my mom watch last week’s RuPaul with me (snatch game ep), which means I had to explain everything, and thank GAWD she was in the kitchen when one of the queens made a Dirty Sanchez joke because explaining that would have quite literally finished me off 😭💀

When I was a kid my mom would always get annoyed when I’d tell her things from another room. “Come in here if you want to talk to me!”

Visiting my mom rn and she is literally CONSTANTLY calling out to me from other rooms. COME IN HERE IF U WANT TO TALK TO ME!

am I in a freaky friday

there are a lot of people working in the government right now who want to intentionally trigger an apocalypse to create the conditions for the return of jesus christ and I know how crazy that sounds but its absolutely true

I don’t know how to use chatgpt etc but I imagine it’s going to a website and typing “oh no what groceries do I buy please tell me false god for I am so weak I cannot go on” as your brain atrophies and leaks out of your ears from disuse and the machine is like “buy eggs milk bread and a horse”

Thank you to @authorsabb.bsky.social heroes @beccacoffindaffer.bsky.social and Ed Underhill, we have some slides that can be shared by anyone about this, with particular reps to target. Let's kill this bill in committee.

Fun fact, US passports did not have a gender marker until 1977, when a rising trend in unisex fashion started freaking the government out.

Gav is disgusting and if he has no haters, I’m dead 👹👹👹👹👹

I know people get mad at me for being so anti-Newsom, but this is why. Pander to the worst people in our country, get the worst fucking policies.

If you have trans homies in Kansas, check in on them. Let them know they're not alone. Let them know they're loved.

No one left behind.

Haha well, all due respect to us, I don’t think an entry level office assistant job is worth relocating for! probably better for someone who is already local 😘

Are you an organizational whiz with great attention to detail and an interest in the world of publishing? This is an in-person job opportunity based in San Diego.

This book really is BRILLIANT, highly recommend! 💜

I swept him outside and he died on the doorstep (probably trying to get back in!)

Happy Pub Day to this gorgeous new PB biography! 💜🦕

OMG! TOUCH THE SKY has been nominated for The Monarch Award -- a readers' choice state award in Illinois -- and I am so thrilled!

This is just common sense!

Ok well the one in my bathroom just came STROLLING OUT and I managed to keep my head on straight enough to sweep it outside. So now I can’t go outside, obviously, but at least it isn’t INSIDE anymore??? (Unless it has a family in here 👹)

I, too, am visiting my mom, so maybe there’s a lesson here.

FML

It was fine… right??? I hope so bc this centipede is my roommate rn

I don’t want to learn this kind of thing 😂

UPDATE: upon further research, it seems the centipede’s bite is “10x more painful than a bee sting”, SOME of them are venomous but you can’t tell which ones, and they can bite you even if you decapitate them. So that’s fun.

.

I’m visiting my mom — I want to go wake her up and tell her that this thing owns the house now and we have to get out of here, but I don’t think she would appreciate the urgency 😮‍💨

I’m in Hawaii so - apparently yes 🥹

Ok it gets worse because I went to get a broom or SOMETHING to get rid of the giant azz tropical MONSTROSITY and it… has vanished. Which means it could be ANYWHERE OMGGGG why 😭😭😭😭😭😭

A giant ass centipede or SOMETHING???? FML

HELP this is in the bathroom and now i have to burn the house down 😭😭😭

A pic of some of the stuff my mom requested from California: Smoky and Hot Chili Powder (sadly discontinued), Salmon Rub. Everything but the bagel seasoning, and candied ginger slices.

I’m going to visit madre; they don’t have Trader Joe’s there so she gave me a wishlist of snacks and spices to bring.

Which is why I had to be quadruple screened and almost missed boarding; seems “everything but the bagel” seasoning looks a lot like the makings of an incendiary device 👀 THANKS MOM

they seem fun! 🤩

Alysa Liu not only won gold — she did it on her terms Liu became the first American woman to win gold in singles figure skating in more than two decades, capping a personal comeback that began when she walked away from the sport as a teen.

Thrilled for Alysa Liu, for the sport, and for all the young skaters who just saw a joyful example of an athlete prioritizing her autonomy and mental health.
