I spend more time on FB than here usually, since that's where most of the people I know are.

I'm a number-cruncher in a friend circle of capital-C Creatives. *shrug*

So, I generally stay quiet, because I don't really have anything interesting going on compared to them.

I exist.

This makes a lot of people irritated.

Fortunately, the irritated people are of the sort that deserves to be irritated, so I'm actually fairly okay with that.

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline.

There is support.

You don’t have to go through with it.

Cream of tribble soup. lol

It's a lion's mane mushroom, but it does kinda look like a tribble.

A large, fluffy-looking Lion's Mane mushroom, held in my right hand. It is about 3 inches wide and 4 inches long (larger than my hand) and is a very light cream color.

Today, I made soup out of this mushroom.

Still alive and kicking.

Trying to add more lightness and silly to the world, because that's what we need.

My desire to remain informed continues to remain at odds with my desire to remain sane. #JustKeepSwimming

This was a link to instructions to opt out of an AI learning model. Original poster deleted it. *shrug*

TIL: "Fremdschämen" is the feeling of embarrassment from observing the embarrassing actions of another person.

So, that feeling I get from seeing cringey humor on TV which bothers me to the point where I have to turn it off or leave the room?

Holy shit, y'all, there's a *word* for it!!

Ever wonder why I've used a cartoon version of my 19-year-old self as an avatar for basically forever?

Well, now you know.

Like, other people take my picture, I look terrible 90% of the time... and most of the other 10% of the time, I blinked.

But if I take a selfie of myself right after? (so same outfit, face, and lighting) it's 50/50 that I look okay enough that my immediate reaction isn't "ACK!! Burn it!!"

#WTF

I am not the world's best photographer.

Looks-wise I'm not gonna break any mirrors, but not exactly launching ships either.

But can SOMEONE tell me why the only pictures of me where I *don't* look like a dreanged potato blob-monster are selfies?

Two bags of Dr. Elsey's brand dry kibble cat food side by side. On the left is a green and white bag labeled "duck and chicken" recipe. On the right is a purple and white bag labeled "rabbit and chicken" recipe. Both bags feature a picture of a black cat as well.

Duck season/Rabbit season, kitty kibble edition.

Selfie of me throwing a peace sign while sitting in the Awesomecon line. I've got my braid over my shoulder, my Hawaiian-shirt-print face mask on and I'm wearing a black tee-shirt. There are a bunch of other people in the line behind me who are sitting/standing while waiting for the exhibit hall doors to open.

Awesomecon! Time for knitting while waiting for the room to open.

Pope Francis makes first appearance from Rome hospital - BBC News The Pope waved from the hospital window before being discharged to return to the Vatican.

Good news for the pope: he's mostly over the pneumonia and is is stable enough to go home from the hospital.

I'm not Catholic, but I know some people reading this might be.

If you do eBay, you might want to consider doing this.

Have seen The Day The Earth Blew Up (that new Daffy Duck/Porky Pig movie) and then got boba tea afterwards.

It's a fun movie. Two credits things. You should go see it if you can.

Also, I own a purple dress, a labcoat, and black flats... I think I might need to buy a wig...

Circles are blue.
Squares are red.
Triangles are yellow.

This is not a poem. These are just the colors these shapes are in my head when I imagine them.

I am not fully awake.

Taking a break when you need one is good for mental health.

Oh really? Interesting.

I will still be available on messager, though.

This is not some kind of message to Meta, it's because I can't take the firehose of angry/sad/hopeless right now.

Going in a BookFace "diet" until Monday, so I will probably post more here for a bit.

There is a Thai street food festival in Manassas this weekend (10 am - 5 pm) and I am SO THERE for it. #OmNomNom #FoodGloriousFood

Feeling better, but sinuses are still full of goo. #eew

Taxes got done. Refund incoming at some point.

Got my maypop rootstock planted.

Been working to catch up at the office, which takes a while.

Marscon was fun, but I got con crud.

Really hoping I can clear it by tomorrow because that's my tax appointment.

Thankfully, I have PTO to use for this.

Getting on a plane in 2 days for a trip.

NGL, I'm kinda nervous, but the weather looks like it will be good, and it's a day flight so the pilots should be able to see things.

Just thought of something else I gotta pack, too.

I opted for fixed rates back when I bought the place and I have never regretted that choice.
