BTW, I adore Dressmaker (which I just started this weekend) but no one prepared me for the customer who looks like she's straight out of Crimson Peak and is channelling not one but TWO otherworldly spirits. πŸ˜‚

So it sounds like you'd be better off setting your money on fire than donating to a candidate campaign at this point. 😬

We found that as of right now 73% of your campaign donation goes back to the consultants and vendors (!!!), four times more than just 20 years ago. Only 13% to ads. Even I was shocked.

Please don’t trust the polls, y’all. They have been inaccurate AF way too often. Vote like we are 3% down in every race and we need every single vote to pull out a win. Bc I fear that may be more accurate. Vote like your life + liberty depend on it. Come hell or high water, get to the ballot box.

If you did something amazing today, I'm proud of you. If you went to work today, I'm proud of you. If you took a shower, I'm proud of you. If you did some laundry, I'm proud of you. If you got out of bed, I'm proud of you. And if all you did was make it through another day, I'm still proud of you.οΏΌ

'Vote early to give the GOP ulcers' should be our new slogan. πŸ˜‚

I don't know how the next couple weeks are going to shake out and who knows if the polls are right... But I love knowing that the entire GOP will have a stress ulcer by November 1st.

From everything I've seen, an LLM is a combination of a search engine, autocomplete, and mansplainer. It throws together the first information it finds and presents that as fact. The only way it's even close to being human is it has a techbro's irritating habit of being confidently wrong.

IRS email: The deadline to file 2025 taxes is tomorrow! Me: I KNOW!!! (Currently checking my work. My stack of supporting paperwork is more than an inch thick.) 😭

Finally got in for a seriously overdue haircut. I think I left nearly as much hair on the floor of the shop as on my head. 😳

With the uptick in ICE activity & the resulting surge in whistle requests (get 100-3k free at 3dwhistles.com), I'm reminding folks that you can support the printing of whistles by giving $20 to @protopasta.bsky.social, who in turn sends DEEPLY DISCOUNTED filament to our printers!

My cousin organized a series of masked concerts in NYC so immunocompromised and other covid-conscious folks can still enjoy live music events, and is raising funds so he can keep doing so! Love and appreciation to anyone able to chip in πŸ™πŸΎβ™₯️ www.kickstarter.com/projects/pos...

I can see it's going to take more than one night's sleep to recover from this week. πŸ˜” It still doesn't seem quite real that multiple stressful tasks are done now.

It has been A Week and I'm so tired but I *am* going to finish this project today like I promised. (I just have to check my work and send to the client... I can do this, I can do this...) ::::brews more tea::::

We will probably be closing the shop again tonight before the tropical storm runs in, so now is your best chance to grab some stuff! πŸ’žπŸ’žπŸ’ž

Ghostly Bree@mostlybree.kitrocha.com

Pssst, the shop is briefly open and we've got TWO sales going on! Sale #1: to celebrate the launch of our first seasonal items and just for funsies, almost everything is 25% off. Sale #2: the stuff that isn't 25% off is 50% off because we have some clearance stuff I need to get rid of!

Those of you involved in process documentation at your workplace: If you don't already, periodically make a point of running through as many "things everyone knows" as you can think of and make sure those are actually documented, because *not everyone knows*, anything, ever.

I mean on the one hand stuff like this remains invasive and creepy, on the other hand every single person who follows me could have compiled this list. 😭

I'm so tired and I just want to read my book... but someone has to deal with this mess, and apparently it's me. ☹️

While I was struggling with protecting my mom's site from the bot swarm I kept asking everyone who is still in the industry how small sites who don't have a kid with a computer science degree survive and the answer was pretty much "they don't" and that's so grim
