Right, it’s usually a good idea to warn bot/human constructs who call themselves Murderbot before making grabby hands

I don't like horror. And I wouldn't classify this book as horror. But this book still haunts me. To the point where my next tattoo will probably be a crow/raven/corvid because of this book.

tl/dr - This book is hauntingly great.

sidebar - I don't know the rules for the whole pit thing. Sorry.

Me walking around my house avoiding chores while cosplaying as the king of my castle.

White beans are my go to ingredient. It's the only bean my son likes. He's a very picky eater, so if he eats a bean, I'm happy.

Side bar....I made chili today with andouilli for the first time. Not bad. Not great, but not bad.

Side bar to the side bar... the M*A*S*H cookbook has the best recipe.

I still feel fancy when I eat them.

"...an introvert who cosplays as an extrovert..."

This pretty describes my life as a whole.

Tanned leather stitched to a canvas bag. The leather is light tan and has a leaf and two acorns carved and stamped into it. The leaf is painted green and the acorns are grey while the design has darker shades around to imply shadow.

I still don't know what I'm doing but at least I am getting better at it. Whatever "it" is.

An image of leatherworking stamps laid out on blue, green, and black towels all on a blue folding table. The tools are all shiny silver and a few have red handles. There is a white plastic stand to the side of the tools.

Oh dear lord, what have I done. So many new tools. So, so, so many.

My brain when my wife convinces me to buy a sewing machine for leather.

Each car had a first aid kit in it. Inside, taped to the lid, were two dimes in case we needed to call somebody on the payphone.

I love this. While my joy will always be part escapism, I will now label it as also being resistance.

For fuck’s sake, I knew this was a bad idea and I stood here like an idiot and let it happen.

How it feels when my in-laws ask me why I don't have a job.

Don't forget to wear a hat (or sunscreen)!

As a resident of King George County Virginia, I'm offended by this display. Sadly, I'm sure my local elected officials love it.

Cheesy Pete! That's a pallet-sized delivery!

My face when I'm blacklisted but get an interview request.

I have to say.....getting up at 3am is better than getting up at 2am.

Wait, does that mean I got my copy before the author?

Did @mattdinniman.bsky.social make this image?

I have EoE and never knew, until ten minutes ago, that today is EoE Day.

eoeday.org

The look I give my bank account every day. Such disappointment.

This writer just punched his career hard in the face, all for an article that he could have written in ten minutes simply by summarizing jacket copy.

(Also, given the "AI"-generated errors in other articles in the insert he produced, he's, shall we saying, overrepresenting how carefully he checks)

Me looking out of my hidey-hole trying to see if it's safe to venture outside and socialize.

I swear the worst part about editing these documents is that some people, professional people, people with a college freaking degree, still don't know that a sentences needs a period at the end. I've seen football players with TBI write better sentences.

A week. Pretty speedy there!

You know Garfield, Jon, and Odie would totally fit in as crawlers in #DungeonCrawlerCarl.

I'm sorry, if I'm going to edit a document that mentions Powhatan the man, I'm going to edit the document to give him the correct title of Chief Powhatan. Sometimes being a supporter is doing something as small as adding five letters to a document.
