I’m here to read books and pet cats, and I’m all outta — actually, no, I have plenty of both. I also make software and opine about everything. I only get paid for one of those, though (the first one — my employer neither knows nor cares for my opinions).

I bought a vintage sweater on Poshmark and it arrived in beautiful condition but violently stinky. Here's hoping my laundering efforts have paid off 😬 I can't even describe the smell; musty but in a way that might kill me, is what my brain suggested ("stop sniffing this immediately!" it screamed)

It’s probably not normal that I don’t remember specific frightening things from my childhood, huh? I actually have very few memories of being a small child at all. I wonder if that’s, like, concerning.

Also this is the thread about the woman who told me about murdering her ex when I was pregnant with kid #1. Again, the women are unlikely to move the way you expect if the danger continues to grow.

MacKenzie Scott is out there granting wishes like an all-powerful genie, and what the hell is Jeff Bezos doing? Buying himself another yacht? One of those things is objectively much more impressive than the other…

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, working at a desk. A brain next to her says, "We need to take breaks!"
The second panel zooms in on Sarah's face. She is annoyed. She says, "What if I don't listen to you?"
The third panel shows the brain smiling.
The fourth panel shows the brain reaching towards a lever. The brain says, "I'LL MAKE YOU."

I'd been craving twizzlers, so I bought a three-pack of them, but I wasn't paying enough attention, and it turns out each pack is 16 ounces. So I own three pounds of twizzlers. Fear not: I am equal to this challenge! But I must concede that Mistakes Were Made.

A book promo. It looks vintage and has a pulpy book cover featured that says “Solomon seal” with a woman battling a giant dragon. The smaller secondary cover has the same woman wielding a flaming sword. The text says “illustrations, a special look behind the scenes, plus a whole extra prequel novel because I make bad choices” now available.

We like special editions, yes? This is a special edition of a fantastic series opener, and like, yeah, it’s not cheap and ships from the UK, but people spend more on kickstarters for special editions that may never exist at all, or will be “written” by an llm — what I’m saying is, buy this book!

I am currently re-reading these books, and they are even better than I remembered from when I first read them a couple years ago. The first 3 are currently on sale; it is impossible for me to recommend them highly enough. And I'm not even normally an action/adventure kind of reader! Just! So! Good!

Look, there's only one way to resist fascism and it's not to propose kinder, gentler fascism. "We will underbus fewer people or maybe only undercar them" is not a good strategy, but even if it were and wins elections, YOU ARE STILL PROPOSING FASCISM.

Disco Elysium is a masterpiece. I died in the first five minutes because the game told me not to do a thing, and warned me that I’d regret it, and I did it anyway because I’m stubborn and thought it might be trying to hide something cool from me.
