I relish being an old curmudgeon though.

Time moves on in so many ways, and for many of us it can seem like a fickle thing. @sable-phoenix.bsky.social has been on a LONG journey through time, and has acquired another year to add to this HUGE total of years they have accumulated. Happy birthday sis. Love you and miss you. :)

I look forward to them being arrested in a foreign nation.

Yeah. It's definitely jarring on so many levels. :(

I am not doing well. Yesterday I lost a good friend to cancer. We were the same age. It still doesn't feel real.

Seriously. Fuck. This. Bullshit. Fuck this whole ass administration and their subspecies intelligence level shitshow. May all of them choke on their own bile. The fact they get to keep breathing the same air while good people die to shit like cancer. Fuck all of them.

I cannot stress this enough: fuck all this shit.

Happy new year I guess.

Thank you. Miss you too. :)

I'm breathing. All good. Just been a bit of a...trying holiday season. Mostly just not in the mood.

I will never understand these kids talking about and trying to do NNN. Like, leaving aside how bad for your health it is, I can't imagine how stir crazy it would make you.

Wait until someone explains to her that whenever anyone without insurance goes to the ER everyone else is paying

I'm convinced my cat shares the same brain cell with the cardinal he had chosen as his mortal enemy. Both are confused about how windows work. Cardinal is not innocent here either. He seems to have a grudge as well for some reason.

Sadly I've seen this even in my line of work. Too much of that mentality in general and it's a detriment to any workforce.

My wife just mentioned this to me. I have no words. Smh

Legit question: how is doing an art stream working out for you? I kicked around the idea, but always felt I'd get zero traction.

I fucking detest oatmeal. I've never liked it. But I'm old. And a guy. So I force myself to eat it. But I really hate it. A lot.

Walking around this school to hear different flavors of the same presentation has been ...fun ...

I'm absolutely over this entire government. Absolute ass-hattery at literally all levels.

Seriously, I've been keeping quiet just so I don't lose my account, but lordy the people giving chuck and his cult cronies a pass while they would and have celebrated violence against innocents is nuts to me.

I don't mourn Nazis or fascists. I don't mourn rampant homophobes or transphobes. He sowed this. He reaped it. Stop being so passive about those who would gleefully celebrate when others are harmed.

Way way waaaaay easier said than done hermana.

Still trying to convince myself to do Drawtober. All I've done are very quick thumbnail sketches. Then I saw what others have already done and I'm second guessing if I should even bother.

It's the Pikachu surprise face that gets me.

Confirmation bias is a helluva drug

Any thoughts I had of trying to art again are out the window. Too much shit and less and less time for any of it. Just gonna pack up the travel easel.

I'm just done with some things. I don't have the mental energy to devote to them.

This has been the norm at all the conventions. It's been a nightmare.

Quick life gripe: If I take my car to get fixed, and you are the garage guy driving my jeep into the bay to work on it...STOP CHANGING MY SEAT SETTINGS! You're driving it 20 feet. I have to drive this thing everywhere. Stop that shit.

Eeew, that sucks, but understandable re: steak. I used to say the same thing about mushrooms. I promise, these are great.
