Taking @realbabsthebat.bsky.social suggestion to check out @hbomax.bsky.social Creature
Commandos as she gave the compliment that I should cosplay The Bride. So naturally, I was curious….

If I can build up some that is mighty tempting…πŸ’ͺ🏻 (The show is quite fun so far! Rated TV-MA.)

I’ll check! I was using sling bag for years, but found it was causing a bit of stress to my lower back due to weight distribution. But this mini backpack I got? (Yeah, just Amazon. Wanted something cheap to try first.) Problem solved!

Also A++ job on matching the pins to it.

Oh I love that bag! Do they make a mini backpack version of it by chance?

Filing my taxes and listening to the Fallout soundtrack.

Seems apropos.

Joy is an act of resistance.
We need joy as we need air.
As the world grows dark, and threatens to suffocate,
Don’t forget to steal a moment of joy as an act of rebellion.

Thank you for this. This feels like a perfectly acceptable day to drown one’s sorrow in cheese, while remembering the illustrious words of MLK, and watch a good Audrey Hepburn or David Lynch film.

Oh that dress with your hair/skin tone goes SO well with the snow!

I’ve never really had rage so that is a terrifying prospect to me. I hope your body levels out a bit for you!

-sees flurries-
β€œSnow photoshoot time!” we said.
β€œIt’ll be fine!” we said.
-takes a few test pics before a blizzard ensues-

Welp.
We’re now safely back inside with hot chocolate.

I woke up today, excited to make some art in the beautiful snowfall outside, but turned on my phone…the melancholy permeating the world is palpable from the horrors ensuing. May everyone find a little light today amidst the darkness. πŸ•―οΈ

It really is beyond exhausting. But I’ll follow you whatever app I’m on. 🩷

Getting up an hour before I need to leave the house today
=
30 minutes to get ready
30 minutes to pet the cats.

Let’s be realistic here.

Improvising a Pride and Prejudice version of @9thlevelgames.bsky.social β€˜s Kobolds Ate My Baby is honestly the most ridiculously unhinged game I’ve ever played. (Why yes, my character is name Bap Bennett.)

Jane Austen is definitely rolling over in her grave.

Alas I could never get Taylor to do that (outside of our wedding photos). He got frostbite as a teenager and refuses to do anything snow-related if he can help it.

Me: -runs to the window-
β€œSnoooow!”

Husband: -growls at the window-
β€œOh god, I hate snow.”

Me: -already planning photoshoot ideas-

There are two kinds of people and they marry each other.

Eh, not a big deal now. No one really reads blogs anymore and honestly I’ve barely had anytime to keep ups the something so time intensive. So I’ve put The Lady Nerd website to rest.

Alas, I do not anymore. GoDaddy sold my domain name out from under me last year (it was a whole horrid affair). I’d have to spend about $9K to get it back… 😀
