The secret third thing is that the idea leaves me in peace. Until the next one comes along. I’m like an exorcist for plot demons and my only client is myself.

I also discovered this threat is doubly effective when made while watching old Markiplier videos and eating a pack of smooshed Gushers.

Maaaaaan I’ll be lucky to still be walking at half her age. Human bodies suck.

I discovered a new threat I can level against my adult children. β€œI’ll be FINE alone all weekend. I’m gonna text a guy named TBone.”

We could just fall back instead of spring forward. Could fall back every weekend. Time is made up.

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

Ahhhh if it had been β€œThe Broken Earth” books I could have said β€œbear with it, there’s a reason!” But I don’t know this one, alas.

I posted a video of a bobcat, and my mother asked me β€œIs that your new kitty?” This is the same woman who, as a child, brought home 3 bobcat kittens; her father then had to go put the kittens back, KNOWING THERE WAS AN ENRAGED BOBCAT NEARBY. She refuses to learn what a bobcat looks like, it seems.

YES. Here is Sylveon, looking angry because the dog was nearby. (That dog has never done a single thing to her except fear her.)

I signed up to help with the Democrat caucus this Saturday. They have me making PHONE CALLS this week.

Past Me wrote socializing checks that Present Me is having to cover.

(Clarification: this is me screaming about how β€œJust move!” is so beyond most people, and how my heart hurts for them.)

The internet sucks now. I guess I am going to buy BOOKS like I wanted to do in the first place. (This post brought to you by my failed attempt to find a good tutorial for sewing double pointed back darts in a dress that actually look good.

KELSEY I PAID SO MUCH GODDAMN MONEY TO MOVE HERE TO PROGRESSIVE-VILLE

IT WAS NOT LUCK, IT WAS EXPENSIVE

Now, the series of events that led to me having a career that actually made money? THAT had a big dose of luck.

Hey @stuckyparty.bsky.social this is my rep, this is why I can be less balls-to-batshit-bananas when I call my reps, compared to you in Texas. He’s already doing what I’d want him to do. It’s such a wild difference.

Well, to be fair, my congress rep (not senator, HoR) Joe Neguse is one of the most vocal opponents of All This Shitℒ️. If I still lived in Texas, yeah, I would have to yell a lot louder.

Yeah. I left a message for mine saying I supported any power-check they could manage, blah blah blah, because I WOKE UP TO WAR.
