New Orc City @eratis.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Camping next weekend is the perfect chance for some retail therapy. Do I really need a $200 cooler? No. Do I want to buy it anyway? Hell yeah. 020
New Orc City @eratis.bsky.social · 27/09/2026That's the sign of a caring, nurturing parent. During my high school sleepovers we would be forced to share a single, filthy hand towel for the entire night. I dreamt of a huge, fluffy towel to call my own 120

New Orc City @eratis.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Worse is if she is struggling to take care of herself I need to step up with my dad's care as well. Everything is a fight with that man. 030
New Orc City @eratis.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I've never had to "handle" my mother in the past. She'd largely been self sufficient and rational. I'm struggling to adapt to a relationship where I need to watch and monitor her more closely, and doing this into the future feels exhausting and overwhelming. 130
New Orc City @eratis.bsky.social · 25/09/2026My mother texted me saying that the eye drops she has been using after her cataract surgery had steroids and that was causing the tremors. I asked if the doctor said she should stop using them. She hadn't talked to the doctor. She looked it up online. I'm so fucking tired y'all 140
New Orc City @eratis.bsky.social · 25/09/2026On the bright side the local 7 Eleven carries the Ben and Jerry's flavor I like 040
New Orc City @eratis.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Of all the ways I want to spend my Thursday night, driving my 73 year old mother home from the ER trying to convince her yes, anxiety is real and causes real physical symptoms is pretty low on the list 100
New Orc City @eratis.bsky.social · 19/09/2026My mother has been mostly self sufficient and independent but I am starting to feel a bit of a shift where she's probably going to need more support going forward, especially when she's struggling with my dad's health issues. And that's a tough thing to grapple with. 000
New Orc City @eratis.bsky.social · 19/09/2026OK. The test results came back and there's nothing immediately wrong/concerning with my mother, so she's discharged and back home. I'm just going to be on my couch under a blanket eating ice cream 100
New Orc City @eratis.bsky.social · 19/09/2026And now at the hospital, since the doctor's can't run tests on Saturday. Not my ideal weekend by any means. 010
New Orc City @eratis.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Woke up to a call from my mother asking me to drive her to the doctor's. She's having weakness and tremors. I already have trouble focusing with just one parent sick. With both sick I'll be barely functioning. 110
New Orc City @eratis.bsky.social · 18/09/2026It was a difficult call. I need my dad to get better and return home so I can lose this particular stress. 110
New Orc City @eratis.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I told her to call their PCP in the morning and discuss options, but there is no way she could care for a man who doesn't understand where he is, not to mention he needs treatment. Fortunately she got a call from the hospital a hour later about his treatment so she was less concerned after that. 101
New Orc City @eratis.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I had a very uncomfortable call with my mother yesterday evening. She wanted to take him out of the hospital, saying he was miserable and she thought they were neglecting him. I have a particular work voice I use when I really want to call someone an idiot, and I had to use that with her. 100
New Orc City @eratis.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Looks like Dad's got pneumonia. He's been very altered, as they say, calling my mom to tell her about the "Chinese band" playing in the ER, then on another call saying he's at a party with the neighbors, when is she coming down? 100

New Orc City @eratis.bsky.social · 17/09/2026My one enduring memory of Narnia/Aslan is that the White Witch has him tied up and then shaves his mane, and as a child that bondage/humiliation scene made me feel funny in ways I couldn't understand. CS Lewis would probably tell me to die in a train wreck while my family goes to heaven. 120
New Orc City @eratis.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Meryl Streep cast as Asian?! That's crazy, she shouldn't have taken than role! Oh. ASLAN. The lion. Yeah that's fine. 120
Reposted by New Orc CityVƎX Werewolf @vexwerewolf.bsky.social · 17/09/2026The thing about this is that under any analysis that's even remotely reasonable, this statement is obviously factual. It's just uncomfortable for both liberals and conservatives to hear, so they have to act like what he's saying is controversial because it's debatable, rather than because it's rude. 1146199
New Orc City @eratis.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Dad's in the hospital, I deserve to order pasta for lunch. (He's...well not fine, but he's 85 and he's got a fever. He can't get around on his own) 000
New Orc City @eratis.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I'm so used to dropping artists from my playlists when I see some news about them, it's nice to see one where I want to add more tracks. 040
New Orc City @eratis.bsky.social · 13/09/2026It's fun to search through your emails only to find some from someone you'd rather not think about anymore. (He was as toxic as I remembered) I was trying to find out how old my fursuit was. (About 15 years. Yikes.) 010
New Orc City @eratis.bsky.social · 11/09/2026For maximum safety, I'll start using the old CRT tv my mother still has in her basement from the early 90s. Take THAT, internet of things!! 120
New Orc City @eratis.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Hmm, should consider making little Raspberry Pi streaming boxes to keep my TVs off the internet... 100
New Orc City @eratis.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Tempted to get a (budget) 100" tv. I feel like my dollar would be better spent on new speakers but a big screen is just so flashy! 120
New Orc City @eratis.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Ugh, absolutely need to pick up more edibles tomorrow. Without them, my dreams become, frankly, exhausting. 001

New Orc City @eratis.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I suppose the next logical step would be getting more comfortable being naked around other people but that seems like so much effort 130
New Orc City @eratis.bsky.social · 10/09/2026In an effort to combat my general body issues, I've taken to just not wearing clothes at home. Results so far: Mixed success. Sometimes I'm comfortable with myself, other times...not so much. But that's an improvement over the previous status quo. Also far fewer clothes to wash is nice. 140

New Orc City @eratis.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Oh yeah, that's my teenage years in a nutshell. That and going into IRC chats I definitely should NOT have been in 010
New Orc City @eratis.bsky.social · 09/09/2026I played it after I got into SaGa Frontier. It wasn't translated so I had a little printout of hiragana and katakana on the door of the computer cabinet so I could identify a few words. I even wrote an faq on gamefaqs for it (it was absolute dogshit, and I'm scared to see if it's still up) 110
New Orc City @eratis.bsky.social · 09/09/2026OH FUCK ROMANCING SAGA 3 REMAKE?! You can tell I didn't actually watch the direct or I would yelled about this hours ago. RS3 is one of my favorite games of all time, and I can't wait to see how they improve on it like with the RS2 remake. 130
New Orc City @eratis.bsky.social · 09/09/2026I love the Nintendo Warrior/Musou games but having to pay for the definitive edition of Age of Calamity (at a discount, but if I want physical full price?) for improved visuals and a new difficulty mode is not it. Worse since no news about it indicates support for Age of Imprisonment is done. 010
New Orc City @eratis.bsky.social · 04/09/2026I had to stop using the crystal armor because @arcturusjackal.bsky.social didn't like the stealth/unstealth sound it makes. 😂 It was super useful, especially the 4 piece version! 220
New Orc City @eratis.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Oh, SECURITY sector. Yeah, that place is totally fucked. 120
New Orc City @eratis.bsky.social · 03/09/2026I think there's something else insidious just under the surface here. School is a place away from the scrutiny of parents where kids can socially transition among trusted friends and peers. The right wants schools to report any gender nonconforming behaviors to parents so they can be punished. 000
New Orc City @eratis.bsky.social · 01/09/2026The worst part is I don't feel good, but not in a way I want to take the day off work. I just feel unpleasant, which makes the work day obnoxious. 000
New Orc City @eratis.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Yuck, coming down with something. Had a bit of a sore throat yesterday but today I'm feeling a bit feverish too. 110
New Orc City @eratis.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Oh right, long weekend coming up. I should figure out something fun to do. 010
New Orc City @eratis.bsky.social · 27/08/2026After threatening to do so for years I'm FINALLY scheduling a camping weekend in early October. It's probably been....eight, ten years? And the last couple times were in cabins. My old bones are going to be so very sore 010
New Orc City @eratis.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Nah, it's all vibes. Absolutely nothing spooky in security! 020
New Orc City @eratis.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Glad I treated myself to some garbage for lunch; I need that junk food to deal the loss of Dolly Parton. 030
New Orc City @eratis.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Tempted to go up to the New England Botanical Gardens this weekend, and take a side trip to my family's graves. I've been meaning to do that for a while. It's just a long haul out there. 010
