Spirit Chrysalis (they/she/fae)

Also, okay, WTH; eastern MA and western MA have _different_ cookie bakeries? XD

Date Night: Thai food, FFVII: Rebirth, bubble tea, and #CriticalRole! 💞

JAKE. 🤣

Happy Purim! 🎉

It is 2026, and I have taken my pronoun pins off of my travel bag.

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

I will vote for the presidential candidate who makes it a priority to break up this monopoly

This is cool!

Now, give us the ability to make accounts private, please 😂

Date Night: Pan-Asian cuisine, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, bubble tea, and #CriticalRole! 💞

if you don’t want to accidentally dogwhistle or be confused for dogwhistling, it’s safest to stick to using gentile if you are not Jewish.

Ana knows what she’s doing though, it’s not a case of mistakenly dogwhistling

If you aren’t Jewish and don’t get how this is antisemitic, I’ll do a short TLDR;

Jews sometimes refer to gentiles as goy or goyim. That’s not a slur, even if it’s derogatory.

If you’re a gentile saying it, specifically self-deferentially or defiantly , it’s a guaranteed Nazi dogwhistle.

LARP con FOMO hitting harder today than expected

May be quieter online than usual (which nowadays is saying a lot) except for things that read as essential, or bring me joy

someone will literally say:

"how did everything get like this?!"

while they've spent the last 6 years assuring public spaces weren't safe for disabled + marginalized ppl

if you don't think that sort of social negligence erodes your soul, you're fooling yourself

but you ain't fooling everyone

That is such a memeable title, also

Panel 1: genie says 3 rules no wishing for death, no falling in love, no bring back dead people Panel 2 person says I want Reeses cups to moan when I take their littles panties off Panel 3 genie sez, there are 4 rules

Okay time for fun.

Go into your photo roll or whatever, and post the first image that makes you laugh literally out loud.

Here's mine.

Also: Of all the hand and wrist injuries I thought I would potentially develop as I age as a white collar worker

I really thought it'd be carpal tunnel

. . . and not De Quervain's tenosynovitis??

Likely brace time for me!

Date Night: A mix of French Cambodian and American pub fare leftovers, Princess Peach: Showtime, bubble tea, and #CriticalRole! 💞

In actuality conflating Jewish people with the state/govt of Israel is itself antisemitic

By the way, the belief that Israel has committed genocide is a belief held by 4 in 10 American Jews - higher than the percentage of American Jews who identify as Zionists. (Sources: www.timesofisrael.com/poll-nearly-... www.jta.org/2026/02/05/u...)

A series of seven photos in collage: The Palia game logo, rouleaux, Crevettes et Pâtes de Riz Fraîches, a bit of Polenta Et Canard Braisé Aux Champignons, Le Péché au Chocolat, A Critical Role episode, a box of Burdicks chocolates, and a bubble tea.

A little joy amidst the darkness.

Valentine’s Day: How It’s Going

Our Internet is back!

It's a Valentine's Day miracle!

I can’t imagine why in the past 5 years so many more construction mistakes and car accidents and concussions in HS football would be happening OH WAIT

So our Internet is still out

Someone severed a Fios feeder line Wednesday evening. It’s a bundle of 400 cables and each line has to be spliced _by hand_

The issue also started with 1 ticket and now is on a 2nd with the original closed, which may mean it became more complicated

Date Night, Still No Effing Internet Edition: American comfort food, FFVII (old school version), bubble tea, and Sagrada.

We’ll have to catch up on Critical Role when our Internet is back.

Still no Internet, and probably not all day.

I also wasted way more time with Verizon phone and chat support than I ought, enough that the woman with 25+ years of experience on loan from the Business department is going to give a debrief on how awful this was.

Fun, ‘dynamically set’ by AI pricing based on our shopping data.

Even more ways to squeeze every penny from consumers.

How It’s Going: No Internet Edition

(The game is Sagrada.)

Major line cut due to probably local construction; no Internet for the night

Taking a standard precaution isn’t extreme.
