There is construction everywhere I want or need to go and our area is so small there aren’t any alternate routes. And if there are alternate routes, those also have construction >:-(

I have a dilemma, do I finish my Catherine Mack mystery(No One was Supposed to Die at This Wedding), Dungeon Crawler Carl book 3, or do I start @chucktingle.bsky.social Fabulous Bodies, which arrived today?

Me, 1:30pm “I’ll grab an empty box and put daddy’s dvds in them so I can shelve my unread books there. Me, 1.5 hours later: where did all these books come from? (Me, it’s me. I’m the problem haha)

I dreamed I was working on a piece to enter in Quilt National and I haven’t done that since 2008? ( I had a piece accepted for the 2005 show). I just wish I could remember what I was making because I was really excited about it

The delight I feel every time I remember I have watermelon in the fridge cannot be underestimated.

I took some boxes to the car so we can recycle when we get the mail and it was like opening the oven to check on my cornbread when I opened the front door. It’s only 9:10am.

Starting to read Tourist Season by Brynne Weaver immediately after watching Repo! The Genetic Opera made for some really crazy dreams

Yesterday I got our summer watermelon, a large baby size, not an oblong. Let’s see if I can get it diced up today, lol. (The cats really loved the big ball we brought home, so I’m extra motivated)

Is there an option for alt text on our profile and banner?

My youngest got married last weekend and most of this week was stressing about my Niblet who had to stay at the vet for a few days but I’m hoping I can actually play in the studio soon.

Is it possible to just make the filling for a pecan pie without putting the pecans on?

Last year I was up early on my birthday wondering if the stock market was going to pull a Black Friday (tariffs ).This year, will there be a live reenactment of Dr Strangelove. Next year can we just not.

After a whole hour of sleep I woke up cold and hungry. Yogurt and a brownie at 1am. Gonna try to get some sleep now. Wish me luck.

Some people are trying to get repealing property tax on the ballot in Ohio. Some people haven’t thought things through. Or they just don’t care.

This is a magical thread of people’s moon stories

I picked up some Zig Clean Color brush pens and some Zig Mangaka fineliners from JetPens and made this drawing. I really like how the brush pens blend and cover the line work without smearing and it is very satisfying to make the cross hatch and dot details with the fineliners.

the media is now telling people to work from home to save on gasoline, immediately after their years-long crusade to tell us why returning to office is best for everyone. this isn't a gotcha, it's an example of how contradicting demands allow the ruling class to blame us no matter what we do

If Jesus died on a Friday and rose on that Sunday, Chuck Norris has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever for the Raptor on the 22nd

I can’t be the only person who checks a friend’s feed to make sure they’re still alive before wishing them a happy birthday am I?

Generations of Marines would be interested to hear that boots on the ground on an island is not boots on the ground in combat circumstances.

I saw the new @tkingfisher.com , Wolf Worm, as well as the new Junji Ito, Statues, at Barnes and Noble today. Waiting for my preorder at my local indie just got dangerous ;)

New Steve Madden ad just dropped

I saw there’s apparently been Bigfoot sightings in Ohio as well. 2016 had clowns, I guess 2026 is the year of Bigfoot. Maybe they can share shoes.

Every. Time.

With all the talk about mines, I’m feeling a rewatch of The Incredible Mr Limpet may be in order

I’ve preordered the newest InCryptid novel from @seananmcguire.bsky.social , Wolf Worm from @tkingfisher.com , and the new Junji Ito graphic horror collection and I’m excited for them all to come in.

I didn’t know they still were making Florsheim shoes, tbh.

I just realized a lot of my FOMO started when we were in that cult that didn’t allow entertainment from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday so I had no idea what my classmates were talking about when they talked about Saturday morning cartoons or the Brady Bunch. We left when I was 8. Happy day!

It's the right to BEAR arms not break them.

Isn’t that just what the filling is for grape leaves or stuffed green peppers?

I’d like to thank author Chuck Tingle for adding a new level to news reports that say the United States is “pounding” targets. O_o

I was disappointed to see the fight tonight wasn’t between an Ohio senator and a supreme court justice. MTV should bring back celebrity death match.

Mama Kitty did a blep. #caturday

You sound like an unhinged person if you in plain words describe what’s happening, but the Trump admin demanded Anthropic’s AI be able to kill things for it w/out human approval and also do mass surveillance. Anthropic said no, and now the admin is trying to destroy the company in retaliation.

I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.

Do you think some people say Wexler because his name kind of sounds like Les Nessman?

"unfortunately we have to invite the women too” And the way there are dudes shrugging their shoulders "it's just a joke, it's not that deep". The fact misogyny is so casual is exactly why women are pissed.

I haven’t heard the spring peepers yet, but I saw the first robins Thursday, and the tulips are poking out of the ground. The neighbor’s magnolia is also getting buds ready.

I don’t understand how it can be after 5pm, the burning ball of gas is still lighting the sky

#33 on the US women’s hockey team played youth hockey with my spawn. Athens will be lit tonight.

So if you're keeping score. Ethylmercury, the kind that isn't dangerous in small amounts and you poop out can no longer be in vaccines but the bad mercury, methylmercury, that your body can't clear out well and remains in your bloodstream is ok!

Not me up heart pounding at 2am after a nightmare that spouse had to be readmitted to hospital after routine checkup. Nope, must be someone else.

Every Tuesday can be Fat Tuesday if you’re fat.
