YOU GUYS WANNA SEE SOMETHING CURSED???? HOW ABOUT NEON GENESIS LEHIGH VALLEY PHANTOMS HOCKEY?????

Folks, I did it. I made the Cooks Illustrated competing pear crisps, and then I made my friends judge them blind.

2025 holiday card design! I’ll have these for sale at Amesbury Market Daze at BareWolf Brewing on 12/7 and 12/14!

A table with a Korean BBQ grill in the middle. The grill has meat cooking on it and is surrounded by dishes of various raw meats, pairs of tongs, and plate with kimchi on it

Went to KBBQ for the first time last night and it was fun and tasty but also kind of stressful trying to cook everything right 😆

Self-portrait of Suzanne Valadon that shows her smoking in bed while gazing off into the middle distance. She’s wearing a peach-coloured camisole and green and white striped pants cotton pants with a drawstring. Her bed and the curtains around her bed are blue with a pattern of white leaves.

This week in Art I Am Obsessed With: this self-portrait by Suzanne Valadon. It looks so incredibly contemporary (I would literally wear that exact outfit on hot summer day) but it’s from 1923. Anyway, love a queen with flowy pants and a dangling cigarette!

this line from cloud is in my head at least once a day

🫖👻🌺🍵

I hope you guys have fun!

There's always the Rockefeller Center tree if their visit is after they light it on 12/3. It gets to be a madhouse over there, but at least it's free which you can't say about a lot of NYC things lol

A mirror selfie of Krystal, a plus sized white woman with light brown and teal hair. She is wearing a black sweater dress with white cuffs and a white collar, opaque black tights, and white high top converse.

My OOTD for the occasion, and a close up of the cocktail I picked in which you can kind of see the edible glitter that was in it ✨

Went to dinner with my secretary pals tonight and 2 of them work at the same firm rn and they both think I should date their IT guy. And, like, it's sweet, but also I feel weird about friends setting me up, but also online dating historically hasn't worked out for me, so maybe this is worth a try 🤣

🎀🌿 Imagine stepping out into a crisp autumn day, wrapped in our Willow Forest Cape, feeling like a forest elf on a grand adventure! 🌲🍂 Let's turn this dream into reality~ these capes are now ready to ship! Thank you to everyone who pre-ordered!⁠

The western edge of the Aurora was pulsing photons & it was magnificent - my car is parked under the aurora

I wasn't actually going for Subaru in it's natural environment pic, but if I say the name Richard Attenborough, you'll read the next line in your head in his voice.

Here's Paul's Subaru XV parked up with an Aurora Australis dazzling in the night sky of the rugged South Otago Coast of New Zealand

An assortment of decorations inside the window pocket of a black itabag. Top row: a wooden Rowlet keychain, pins of Wooloo, a reference to MCR's Danger Days album, a sloth. Middle row: pins of a mermaid rabbit, a bunch crystal grace from Dragon Age, Celeste from Animal Crossing sitting on a moon, a duck wearing a crown. Bottom row: pins of a female knight with a pennant that says "I can save myself" and the triangular eagle emblem from Goldbullet's 1st birthday merch, and a keychain of Morgana from Persona 5.

Not my dentist asking specifically about the Goldbullet pin on my itabag (bottom middle). I just lied and was like "oh I don't think it's from anything, I just thought it was cool" bc I didn't feel like trying to explain Vtubers to this old guy 😆

In a shock to absolutely no one, I loved Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein and I loved the bug girl.

Thank you! I keep them in an absurdly large folder on my phone 😆

The difference between me and everyone else at my office is apparently that if someone else put up a neon pink sign I would notice and read it, but when I did that for the toner instructions bc I was mad after a full waste toner bin mini crisis nobody else noticed or cared 😆🫠🙃

The most frustrating thing about my job is that I'm the only one who can remember the full procedure for changing the copier toner. The empty toner cartridge becomes the new waste toner bin and is supposed to swapped to there when the new toner is put in and I have to tell people this EVERY TIME

Did my first ice cold hair washing tonight as part of the effort to preserve the color as long as possible and it was awful, but I survived. The best part of my shower was when I was done washing my hair and could turn the water hot to wash the rest of me 😆

There are Hachikos everywhere for those with the eyes to see...

(Statue is located outside a dog park that's in my local woods, but there's no signage indicating that it's a particular dog)

Thank you! 😊

Surprise! Yesterday I paid my hair stylist friend to give me some mermaid hair! We did kind of a hidden/peekaboo look and I am absolutely in love with it! 👀💛🧜‍♀️

Thinking about the social stigma against eating fast food in a country where poor people are being starved by the govt, the cost of groceries and fresh vegetables are astronomical, and a cheeseburger at McDonald’s costs $3.50.

“Clean” and “healthy” eating rhetoric is racist, ableist, and classist.

So tonight we had our Halloween celebration and for our "spooky" movie we decided to just skip to the last twilight movie bc that's the one that has the scary robot baby, except we discovered that at some point since the movie came out they replaced it with an equally unsettling CGI baby 😆

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market.

This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

maimai has been one of my holy grail arcade cabinets (also groove coaster, but that one is unlikely, it's discontinued) and I've grown so much as a rhythm game player since I first finally got to try it at ANYC2019 -- I will definitely be back to this R1 soonish to play more!

I didn't wind up playing SV as long as I thought I would. It was placed somewhere loud and I couldn't really hear it. But it was fun playing maimai with someone and taking turns picking songs -- I got to play ones I wouldn't have picked on my own just from not knowing they were there

After a couple rounds a friend of his arrived and I politely bowed out bc I wanted to see if the Sound Voltex cabs were finally available anyway -- two people were hogging them most of the time I was there, but at this point I noticed that one of them had moved to maimai lol
