Crewman Six, She/They

Goodness, that's so pretty!

Huh. I just got an email that I’m 98% certain was of the genre “here’s an AI summary of your book + bookclub/publicity/salespitch” but with a twist: it was hate mail.

writing in all-caps in a blue ink with gold sparkle, reading "ver nice, fresh fill, wearingeul 20,000 leagues under the sea, where did my square memo pad go?? it has grown leggys?? walked away??" on plain lined paper

Refill time, refill time *rings dinner bell* *fountain pens flutter out of the sky and begin to sip*

okay Friday party thread for a timeline cleanse

tell me about the outfit or article of clothing (any era from baby to present) that you just know in your heart of hearts was your best look

Not an outfit or article of clothing, but a haircut.

The Hunger Games movies were the talk of pop culture and I was very taken with Natalie Dormer's half shaved look. It was the first hairstyle that felt... Right. I kept up with for years.

Until lockdown ate it. Alas.
Thinking of going back to it.

Pet peeve of the week: people who respond to my heartfelt hatred of AI by trying to convince me that the way THEY use it is okay. Like what do you want? Permission? I’m not your mom. (Because MY kids would never.)

Once a scorpion, always a scorpion, Donnie, you dim little pseudo-frog.

Talarico’s primary supporters need to get out of Black folks’ comments and start doing the work for the nominee.

There was a lot of targeting of Black women during the primary. So here we are. It didn’t worry you then, so why worry now?

Move the fuck on & help him build bridges if that’s the plan.

Right? Ugh.

...and apparently it bothered me so much I misspelled it as dog instead of dot. Oops. 😅

Everyone is still talking about this dork ass loser so i keep having thoughts too but the main one is

I DON'T ACTUALLY CARE IF HE'S A NAZI IN HIS INNERMOST HEART. HE'S EITHER A NAZI OR HE'S NOT NEARLY HOSTILE ENOUGH TO NAZIS/NAZI ICONOGRAPHY. IDC WHICH.

So say we all. 💯

Beware Democratic candidates placed solely to assure Republican victories.
And stop following the "Dem strategists" who told you to give them money.
Jfc.

OMG, the dog is finally gone! It's been bothering me this whole time.

The pivot to video can go fuck itself forever and ever amen.

Thanks for the tip on fixing the stupid dot, Erin!

The mechanic removed the back plate and inhaled through pursed lips. "Who did this?"

"I did," the robot said.

"How?"

"I took one arm off, put in a wireless interface so I could still use it, and put it in a vice, then turned-"

"OK. Why?"

"I needed fixing."

"You are allowed to ask for help."

desk job + gym membership is the ideal dude life and these dipshits should embrace it rather than attempting to upend the entirety of civilization on the basis of Gender

Of course it’s worse than expected. We know what happens when a naïve population gets measles. We have literally 500 years of records of measles’ genocidal capacity on naïve populations. Measles is and remains one of the great scourges.

We are doing a MASH rewatch and this. There are so many things in MASH that make me despise so many aspects of war. I grew up watching this show with my parents. My dad never served (Canada) and my uncles who did serve in WWII didn't get sent over dead. MASH was my entire education. And it stuck.

I've never used grammarly but if you have an account, I'd throw it in the trash and set it on fire because what the actual fuck

A very photogenic black and white cat with bright yellow-green eyes and long white whiskers and a little pink nose standing on a black floral rug.

Your daily Shogun

Massage practitioner co-sign. I've had clients whose politics were bad enough I fired them over it, but even among that number, overt nazi ink did not appear.

Eagle over a Bible verse sort of thing at worst.

Sounded ridiculous back when it first aired and I was so much less cynical.

Now though?
*gestures vaguely at... everything*

The universe is broken AF. I WISH our fix was as easy as hers.

I see a lot of people assume that "military" and "kind of an asshole" together equal "okay with Platner's tattoo." And that is not how it works? All unrepentant racists are assholes, but not all assholes are unrepentant racists. There's only ONE common denominator here!

I filled out the final page in a journal this afternoon. Bought two new fountain pens, and a bottle of beautiful green ink.

Looking fwd to starting a new journal with new pens.

Discworld QOTD, from Thud!

Fluffy gray tabby with big gold eyes and very alert whiskers grabs a feather wand. His face says “murder.”

The Morning Monty says another gloomy day means another round of utter mayhem.

So, my one paid sponsorship isn't getting renewed for 2026-27. Thanks economy, I guess. So that means until I find a job, I'm gonna be more than a little obnoxious about pushing my patreon, twitch etc.

IDK if I'll still stream today, cause I'm in a strop about it.
