Found my stuffed potato.

Yeah, corporations suck.

My latest @newscientist.com cartoon

Me: This is a weird sensation. What might be causing it? Reputable looking site: It might be x,y,z, or maybe Shingles Me, who got the Shingles 2 shot Wednesday: Ah, probably that.

Giant sock monkey Saw a bunch in Walgreens ~20 years ago and I still regret not buying one.

Over 24 hours since my shots and my arms are, mostly, fine. Left one is a bit swollen, but, if I don't press it against anything, it doesn't hurt.

Dany Trejo's son posts about his father and that stupid movie he ended up locked into

Walgreens has a list of vaccine recommendations for me, right underneath my vaccination records. These two lists are almost identical for some reason.

Got to my vaccination appointment and learned that one of my add on vaccines was also a two parter. *sigh* Hopefully I'll be done before next year's flu and covid shots.

Its amazing how you can make any concept sound really dumb by adding the word "maxing" to it.

*lightsaber noises*

LIBRIOMANCER comes with the short story "Mightier than the Sword," and CODEX BORN includes the story "Chupacabra's Song." --- *Google Play suspended my account for 30 days b/c they thought I was uploading copyrighted material 🙄 Which I am--but I own the copyright. Waiting for them to clear that up.

Off to celebrate the holiday, in the traditional manner, by "discovering" the local ShopRite.

Getting 4 vaccines at once was a mistake, yet I just let Walgreens upsell me on adding 2 more to my second shingles shot. The people there better not question me on whether I'm sure I want to get that many vaccines at once.

Remembered to book my second shingles shot. This feels like something that should be done at the time of the first shot, rather than having to wait two months to schedule it.

"Are you lost, mortal?" a voice whispered. "I just haven't been here before." "You are in the Forest of Perpetual Gloom." "These are oaks." "Er... Their dense canopy-" "It's autumn. The leaves are falling." "But the days grow shorter, so..." "Perpetual gloom except around lunchtime?" "Yes."

If your menu is slop, I'm gonna assume from here on out that your food is, too.

If my murdered body ever washes up on a boat, during a major storm, this is probably what it'll look like.

I can't believe people are actually celebrating the death of Dennis Hastert just because *reads literally anything about Dennis Hastert* Oh. Carry on then.

The dragon watched the girl climb up to its mountain lair. She stopped to catch her breath, then shouted: "Oi! I've got some questions." "Ask." "Princesses, why?" "They're educated and smell nice." "No noble blood?" "All humans are humans." "Yes! The revolution is go! Cheers!" "Good luck."

In honor of r/ExplainAFilmPlotBadly, finally, guessing Godzilla Minus One correctly, I'm going to rewatch it. It probably would have gone faster if I'd remembered just how common "man must care for children" was used as a comedy plot. And if Reddit understood what a baby is.

Why am I suddenly being followed by OF accounts*? I know you're probably bots, but I'm a broke, straight, woman. I'm just going to block you. *Okay, only two so far, but that's two more than my entire time on bsky, up until yesterday.

They say that comparison is the thief of joy, but it's actually DnD rules lawyers.

Was reminded this morning that being born in a year that ends in 0 or 5 makes math so much easier.

So, my local supermarket has an option on their website to place a deli order and they'll text you when it's ready to pick up. It will, however, not text you and let you know that they can't actually fill the order, because they let you select a product the store you selected doesn't have.

Just blocked an account that seems to exist to be angry about a book, based on a video game, for not following a ttrpg's rules. People, it's really not that serious.

Woo-hoo! My remaining Libby hold came in, before the weather can knock out the internet.

It's late. I should go to bed. Or I can watch this three year old video on why we don't wear hats anymore.

Plan for tomorrow: prepare some food that doesn't need the oven or microwave, jic.

Just got my state/county's annual "No, we actually want you to vote" flyer. How to register to vote. How to check your voter status. How to request a mail in ballot. Where you can drop off ballots. And where and when you can vote early.

I'm considering buying vegetables you don't cook from the supermarket. I'm really hoping I don't regret this.

Wondering if I'm feeling sick enough that I should cancel my doctor's appointment.

I hate it when I pack so quickly I forget my cake.

LOOK AT THIS FUCKING SHIT. The easiest way to tell that trans women are women is that the right is so desperate to control what they do with their bodies. WE HAVE EVERYTHING IN COMMON.

Hmm… an evil corporation and a discussion of how public transit is a good thing. I think this book series may have gone "woke" Note: The book series had legalized SW and the option for people to earn a salary to be a stay at home parent, like 60 books ago.

Ah, it's September 19th.

Gah! Why is it that everything I can find about doing anything with short hair, has a model with nice, flat hair that's down to her shoulders? This includes a video on straightening short hair. My hair is not that long and goes poof in all directions, because I have too much volume.

Feel free to open a dialog with me or my child at any time you wish.

How ur emails find me this morning.
