🌱#LocalOnly Washingtonians (and maybe Oregonians?) I don't know if you all have seen this: agr.wa.gov/about-wsda/n... Check your wildflower seed packets to see if you have this.

If you are a Christian and believe the Christian Nationalists are sullying your reputation by association, keep praying. Keeping gathering in your congregations. No one will tell you to stop.

But we need to you to be an answer to people's prayers, and we need it now, and now, and now.

Husband: should we come over? So you mind if we do?
Mother-in-law: I don't mind
H, to me: ok, let's grab dinner and go over
*Panera nonsense*
MIL: dad goes to bed at 7
Me, silently:

This is the least likely possibility, fwiw

Despite the lack of communication, we have a plan. It was going to start with dinner at Panera, but they're out of salad greens and baguettes.

This is going around again and it is not true. Like every site on the internet, Bluesky uses machine learning to do a first-pass approximation of image classification to detect and label content. They have repeatedly confirmed outside services do not use Bluesky user data to train their models.

(please make exceptions in the statement above for abusive and terrible family, you do not need to grieve or mourn them)

(tiny rant)
I'm so fucking tired of the emotional brokenness of American boomers, their lack of emotional intelligence, and their inability to grieve. Fuck, we do death so poorly in this country and we deserve better. You do not get to avoid an ailing parent simply because you don't want to see them

Frank the Cat might have pancreatic cancer. He needs an ultrasound.

Husband's remaining grandparent will likely not make it through the night. I thought the Old Bat might live forever. As is typical, the family is not communicating about gathering as a family.

The goal for today is to get through until 5pm Opening Night Hockey (blackhawks at panthers)

oh, hey, it's POTS. You probably don't want POTS. Wearing a mask (opening windows, using a nasal spray, and being on high doses of H1 inhibitors) can reduce your risk of COVID.

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

I have not! Thanks!

"what about indies?"

J. Mihalik's several series and a novella, Olena Nikitin, C.L. Polk...

I don't really do "cozy" much and I try to avoid lots of violence and abuse (some is fine, as a feature I avoid).

I have to build my Christmas lists for my in-laws, so I'm looking for romantasy, fantasy, or historical fiction books I should add..

I've enjoyed books like:
SJM's universe, C Broadbent's vampire series, J Armentrout's 2 adult series, I Andrews' series, T Kingfisher, N Stephenson's baroque cycle...

hello book publicity friends if you're here ... i'm working on a quarterly book recommendation series for Yahoo. first one comes out in December ahead of the winter season. Please add me to your press lists and pitch me your upcoming releases!! <33

If you in anyway identify on the LGBTIA+ spectrum, I want to you to know that you are loved, who you are is beautiful, and you deserve peace and happiness.
And I especially want all of my trans friends to know this.

Tuesday in your Nations Capital:

The House remains out of town, on a paid vacation.
Senate remains deadlocked.

Folks who guard and clean their buildings ARE working but ARE NOT getting paid.

Morale is low.
Nothing makes sense

oooh! your curls would be great like that!

Brief update:

3 conversations since I skeeted this. THREE. Today I offered contact information for attorneys when needed.

So, if you need this: you deserve a partner. You deserve someone who will care for you, who DOES care for you. It is ok to put up boundaries and demand this. Divorce is ok.

Love that academics have to waste their time and resources to write brilliant nuanced responses to all the absolute shit being thrown at them by the federal government that was probably written by AI and glossed over by jackasses that know nothing about higher ed.

All of you academics have to behave and somehow remain dignified and professional and take all of this seriously when the people in the government are absolutely not doing any of that. You have to pretend that they are, though.

I think it's time to take a few inches off of my hair again. The biotin/collagen appears to be working (yes, the research is 50/50) and my hair is very heavy again.

How the national guard call-ups are screwing students who joined in hopes of.l being able to afford college.
