It’s Celly! s41e10: “Sister Celly O the time has come”• Matthew 21:17 • STILL just a single loser in the big city with my tiny cat 🐈 (not actual size), at this point I really don’t know what you expected.

Never mind, got it! You simply report the post the way you would report any post, and under “moderation service” choose shadowbanner. Hey, that’s pretty fuckin clever. Once you actually know what the fuck you’re doing, bluski isn’t such a bad app.

As usual here’s something about bluesky I don’t understand. I found some labelers that supposedly label accounts that post bigoted bullshit. Which is great in theory, but who is in charge of these labels? I can’t figure out how they’re meant to work. One is @shadowbanner.bsky.social.

And if I should happen to see some content that meets the criteria of one or more of these labels, how do I label it? What would prevent someone who’s just had a fight with another user and labels them everything on the list in bad faith? I am don’t understand. ☹️

Goddamn. Three people have blocked me today. Three! (In Father Watty’s time, Father, we kept a closer account of such things.) No but seriously, what did I do? ☹️ I mean besides the usual?

Awwww it’s national black cat day. 🐈‍⬛ Well, I hope my beloved Brit, Pony, Floater, Momo, and Murgie are all enjoying their time in the afterworld. Maaaaybe by this time next year I’ll have another kuroneko? Idk. Watch this space, I guess.

I had no sooner rted that “it’s cool to block annoying ppl” post, than I look down and see some new person blocked me. 🤣 Eager little critter, just waiting for my permission! Nah but srsly they’re some generic firstnamelastname1234 account whose page is all retweets, nothing of value was lost

I'm begging my American friends to resist your urge to "get the last word" and chase rage bait for clout and just STOP reposting alt-right bullshit

Brazilians recommending not to amplify right-wing talking points by dunking and quoting, as a winning strategy Next day, my tl is full of people dunking on rfk jr I literally would not have seen the bigotry if it wasn't for y'all repeating it. That's exactly what the Brazilians were on about!

I’ve blocked plenty of people for being annoying, and doubtless many more have rightly blocked me for the same reason. Life’s too short to inflict irritation on yourself for no reason like that. If it gets to where I roll my eyes and say “ugh, this fuckin person again”, it’s time to take action.

"You can't block someone just for being annoying!" Those are actually the most important people to block

Okay, I’m an idiot. I changed my mind entirely. I’ll go to the DMV downtown here because not only is it supposed to be a free ride, but even if I screw up and have to take an uber, it’ll be like half the cost.

“All this, for a mere thirty united states dollars. One score and ten,” he’ll say. “Where are you going?!” Thru a haze of tears, I’ll whisper, “I have to catch my ride. It’s picking me up at the corner of Broken Dreams Blvd and Woe Lane. For you see, I sold true happiness… for a mess of pottage.”

“What?” he will say. “It’s too noisy, you need to speak up. No dramatic whispering.” But it’ll be too late. Too late, like all my life! So yeah lmao no. Let’s hold on to the money. For now, anyway.

I mean Halloween is this week and imagine if I’d wasted $30 on a stupid ride home, and then I get to the toy show and Right there! Before my very eyes. There it is! there’s my heart’s fondest wish (whatever that may be, lmao idk), at some vendor’s table. Once I have taken my smelling salts and

Recovered, I’ll say “What do you want for this?” And they’ll say $30! And I’ll be like, “Well, I guess I’ll go away sad.” “I’ll throw in a free autographed photo,” the vendor will say. I’ll look, and it’s a picture of… Tomax and Xamot?!? Autographed by Michael Bell and Corey Burton themselves?!

Damn tragedy not to go out to see the old neighborhood, but it’s not worth that kind of money just to get home! Especially since it’s still only the 27th and I have no guarantee about… bleh, a lot of things. So I’ll go to the downtown one tomorrow, same bat time, same bat channel, same bat POVERTY!

ride home from the DMV is still “unscheduled.” Prob end up taking an uber or something. 🫩 Well, there’s really no “or something”. It’s uber. And it’ll prob be $30+. Unless by some miracle uzurv has gotten better? I feel like I’m these people, trying to climb a ladder to heaven! It’s so expensive!

For my dream last night, my brain worked overtime. It generated not just a 100% realistic depiction of my house, including clutter in the refrigerator and the broken wooden seat over the kitchen radiator, but it also generated a fake Steve Winwood-y song playing in my mother’s room on her alexa

Great mood, but I did, because I even miss times like that. At least I had my dad to talk to. But yeah, wow. I missed my calling. I should have play the guitar. I should have learned to play them drums. No but srsly, I should have learned to write songs for Steve Winwood. I’d be a mill-ion-aire

They’d send her right home. As long as she could say “yes” to questions like “are you independent at home, do you cook your own meals and do your own housework,” and “no” to all the questions about symptoms, they sent her home. I mean for fucksake, they may as well have just flipped a coin.

So this was basically me reliving any number of times when she had taken either too many pills, mixed the pills with something else, or possibly wasn’t even given the pills she’d asked for, like that time in 2017 when we suspected she’d been given fentanyl. So you wouldn’t think I’d wake up in a

That up and get what was left of the milk into the fridge. When I finished, I said to my dad, “we’re gonna just have to wait until she’s completely incoherent and then call 911. If we try it now, she could still probably get her shit together enough to tell them we’re crazy and she’s fine.”

God damn if I had a nickel for every time we were in THAT situation. She would be completely aphasic, passing out, not making any sense, and then the paramedics and nurses would ask a bunch of yes/no questions that didn’t give any indication as to her actual ability to communicate or make sense, and

I was trying to clean up the house, and randomly carrying the orange shop vac around on my shoulders like a parrot. No idea what that was about. My dad got home and my mother had been high and acting insane, refusing to go to sleep, this was like day 3 of her being awake. When she talked, it was

Word salad. She couldn’t understand what was being said to her. At one point he handed her a plastic bag with three gallons of milk in it (?!?) and she THREW IT AT THE RADIATOR (???!?!!!?). It was then my job (screaming, “WHAT THE FUCK, Nimpy?!” at her and “You see what I mean?!” at my dad) to clean

Shit, the dream was so realistic that you could see the stains and cigarette holes on her bedspread. It was that one with the pink flowers, probably the last bedspread ever put on her bed. The fan was there as well, and even poor poor Planty, who I hadn’t thought of in years bc I really failed

My mother by letting him die. She knew I was no good with plants and she SHOULD have known how hard it would be for me to go into her room and climb over her bed after she had died in it… but it’s possible she still wouldn’t forgive me. I haven’t forgiven me, either. But yeah, wow. What a dream.

It was so subtle and made so much sense that I didn’t notice it UNTIL I woke up part of the way and was in the “waiting room” between dream and reality, and I could still hear the song. It’s not a real Steve Winwood song, and the lyrics aren’t actually in English, but something close to Simlish

But once there were no visual distractions I heard it loud and clear. It was slightly overproduced, like Valerie ‘87. It had female backing vocals like Higher Love. It was neither of these songs, and I was highly amused that my brain went to so much trouble just to add verisimilitude to this dream

Well, gonna go to sleep. Perchance I shall dream about these absolutely incredible Bioman dolls. A full 10 years before we had the “Power Rangers For Girls” Kim and Trini/Aisha dolls, these were released in Japan. I’m not even a huge Bioman fan, but I want these like burning.

Back in the mid-90s, I was at a Creation convention in Pasadena. Me and a friend were in the autograph room for the Trek guest stars. Walter Koenig came in to talk with these guests who were signing autographs. He spoke to my friend and I for a few minutes, one on one…

The 3M “easy to remove” hook backing came off the wall easily enough alright, and it peeled off a big fucking chunk of the paint along with it. brb gonna go play on the railroad tracks 😭 Well I’ve got to hide that damn spot somehow! I don’t know what I can put there but I’ll find something.

I wonder where that damn wood polishing stuff got off to? I last used it for the end table. I put the sponge on top of the mantle but not the jar of polish. And I’m so spaced out all the time, not seeing things that are two feet in front of me, so it could be anywhere.

Anyway, I used a safety pin to “fix” my broken glasses (the black and teal ones). I don’t have the hand eye coordination to put it back together with that tiny screw. The safety pin holds it all securely together and doesn’t really show, so I guess I’m satisfied enough

People who continue to express such dismay over the fact that so many dorks are using AI for “creative” stuff, clearly had some measure of hope for the people of this world that I never had. 💀 My take on it is, cool, some uncreative loser wants to use AI. Let ‘em. What does that have to do with me?

I know I don’t need to use it. So I won’t. I don’t drive a car and I don’t eat meat, so my carbon footprint (er… do we still talk about those?) is low enough that I’m not going to panic if Joe Schmoe can’t think of anything nice to say about his mother in law for her birthday card and asks chatgpt.
