OH in writer chat: it's only a drawer if it pops up in front of the background elements. otherwise it's just a sparkling resizeable side panel :P

in case you were under the impression the occupation of Minneapolis was over

www.tomshardware.com/tech-industr... “It’s the ai’s fault!” it is not the AI’s fault. It’s your fault for choosing to continually use a hammer to handle glass and then being surprised pikachu face when things get smashed. We’ve already seen this play out multiple times. Why is ANYONE surprised?!

Project Hail Mary was just as good the second time.

Not much. Just a little hyper fixation.

Husband pulled up a “guess the spaceship” quiz and .. I did not expect to see Nell. I don’t think I’ve see that ship in 40 years and I still knew it instantly.

The core of the MAGA-GOP is not understanding the difference between apologizing for being white and being sorry for what has been and is being done in the name of whiteness (which they consider fair and “natural”).

Who could have seen this coming except literally everyone share.google/GFaMy3K2Jjlo...

Books With Pictures is wonderful, and needs some help.

every freakin time.

coworker: do you have an example of this very specific behavior that's causing me problems with the markdown? Me: CHALLENGE ACCEPTED. *30 seconds* Here, there's multiple of those in this 1500 line page lol, sob.

The right's concern with "cancel culture" is the same as their concern with everything else: They don't like it when they are not in control of it.

Today’s arts & crafts entry: a Murderbot. I printed it last week, decided today to do some painting. I don’t have a small enough brush to get the lines on the mask and chest logo. STL file here: www.printables.com/model/139315... When it’s dry, it goes on my desk. Cc @marthawells.com :)

Spotify Dj starting my Monday morning with a drinking song is such a mood.

Because the current cultural argument isn’t about sex; it’s about sex as a scoring mechanism for domination. Men who are sexually fulfilled without domination can be dismissed as lucky chads, deluded simps, doomed libertines, or any other dodge. In this conversation, “getting laid” is only a proxy.

Just got out of Fantastic Four! It was fun, did enjoy.

MUCH EXCITE. If you like Murderbot, and are looking for something to read and are down for some cozy fantasy, grab the other two of @travisbaldree.bsky.social ‘s books in this world before this one comes out in Nov :)

achievement unlocked! I managed to figure out how to cut the stickers out with the cameo! The company logo ones didn’t come out as well because it cut all the lines and I need to figure out how to just do the outside ones. But, progress! ❤️ murderbot

Cats are great! I wish this one would STOP LICKING THE CUTTING MAT.

I don’t think I put these up because I’m fighting with the cameo but I’m also playing with stickers

Trying to put a few fun things into the world because.. yeah. I made my murderbot company earrings yesterday and then said “well, uh, what next?” Then I remembered I’d made mass effect paragon/renegade coasters I could shrink down. Also, playing with chainmail stuff.

And now I have myself a set of logo earrings, because I can. The detail is a little odd just because this is small and I’m using a .4 nozzle, but anyone who can see that detail and wants to comment on it is either: standing too close, or a fellow printer nerd.

What have I been doing? Rewatching Murderbot while I do a variety of crafting stuff. Yesterday I managed to print this Company logo based off the work done by someone on a discord server I’m in.

I have a lot of feelings and I need to go stare at a wall.

I can not overstate how excited I am. Like, how much am I enjoying the show? I put down my phone when it starts and give it my full, 100% attention. It completely serves the dopamine needs of my book-reading, memberberry loving, ADHD ass, and I will probably rewatch the series a dozen times.

Went to PDX a couple of weeks ago, and visited the Japanese garden. Took the opportunity to play with Seek (i naturalist) to play pokeplants My friends: what now? Me: Pokemon, but plants!

Wisdom teeth are stupid, getting them removed is annoying, and cats are buttheads. I’m fine, just tired and a bit sore. Two teeth removed yesterday. Ultimately the whole thing went fast and easily and I should have done it ages ago. But now it’s done.

Some of you didn’t watch/read _The Veldt_ in school and it shows. Yikes.

One of the best things about having teen/adult children is that they sometimes get into your fandoms. C is now *deeply* into Murderbot, and she's sending me random tumblr posts and other memes and it's SO AWESOME. For example: www.tumblr.com/freyadragonl...

IT IS THE ABSOLUTE FUCKING WORST.
