I rarely make it here anymore. Rarely make it anywhere else, tbh, aside from drive by likes on Twitter and shitposting on Instagram, buttttt… The last 10 days have been a beast. Truly, some of the highest highs, followed by some massive stress and despairing, soul crushing lows.

Awake again, even earlier today by two hours. I’m about to be many, many more people’s problem today if I make it to Costco ☠️😬☠️

Saga @ladysaga76.bsky.social · 22/06/2024

Good morning, nerds. I’ve sort of missed the calm of this place, but have largely been avoiding most social media (except for instagram) because it’s all a ginormous dumpster fire. I’m awake far too early on a long weekend and I’m making it everyone’s problem :)

There’s not an insignificant amount of snow on the ground and trees right now. It’s really quite pretty but like, knock it off? I’d like for my power to remain on, but with all the outages in the area, I’m bracing for a pile of blankets being a necessity. Gotta love April in southern Quebec 🙃

Welp. I decided to delete twitter app from my phone, and only log in on the site, like I do here. Tried to log in and umm… I don’t have any of the backup codes at hand or an authenticator account associated with it, so unless I conjure up the codes, I guess I nuked twitter. Finally? Hahaha 🙃😭🙃

I read for about a minute and had to close the link. Not because @atrupar.bsky.social did a bad job or the page was jank, but because this is so abhorrent, I can’t understand how people are so willing to abandon reason and common sense to worship trump and the garbage he spews on the regular.

Saga @ladysaga76.bsky.social · 15/03/2024

The slow realization that I don’t actually suck as much as I think I do, and people I interact with on a few different platforms might actually genuinely like me? Kinda terrifying 🥴 Truly. See also: friends that I’ve managed to keep for years and years. How do y’all put up with me?! Terrifying

Saga @ladysaga76.bsky.social · 15/03/2024

Y’all. I’ve NEVER seen a pollen report in March before. A few of my trees are budding, my tulips are about four inches above the ground and we’re only the middle of March. I hate it.

Oh. What a shock 🙄 (Neither will benefit from AI involvement at all. As a Magic player, if this is the way they’re going to go, I’ll continue to limit my gameplay. One person speaking with their wallet won’t do a thing, but I’ll feel better about it)

25-3 on a game of Bounty in CoD. Not a personal best, but a good one. I spent most of it running around shrieking (off mic- I don’t talk in games anymore) how I needed an adult to keep me safe, and why was nobody protecting their Queen? (HVT) Ended up having to do it all myself anyway 🙃

Thissss. See also the enraging habit of: -slewercide instead of suicide -red milk instead of blood (which tbf? Not as bad as the rest) -unalive instead of dead -every instance of mangling “link in bio” Can we please knock it all off?

The precipitation falling right now can only be described as slush. It’s not quite snow, not quite rain, perfect for snowballs, if you don’t mind your gloves turning soggy the second you scoop the snow. It’s gross. (Temperatures are all over the place. Not a fan.)

Saga @ladysaga76.bsky.social · 10/03/2024

There’s something a bit… idk, annoying (with an edge of fun), having to make a damn checklist of crap that needs to be done in a damn game to unlock a new weapon. It’s really forcing me outside my comfort zone for play, but like… checklist 😭 I’m not sure aftermart parts should be a thing next CoD

Saga @ladysaga76.bsky.social · 10/03/2024

There’s an amount of snow on the ground that is not insignificant. It was raining when I went to bed last night. Also, this spring forward time change bullshit, is, forever bullshit. I would love to see it gone before I die.

Super late to watching it, but The Last Voyage of the Demeter was gorgeous. The cast, the set pieces, the special effects.. all breathtaking. Everything about it appealed to my Dracula loving soul. It also cemented my deep fear of boats and open water. No thank you very much. I’ll stay on land 🙃

Of all the things that should be standard on a vehicle… doors that operate independently of software is one of them. I don’t understand how the hell this isn’t a mandatory safety requirement.

When his appeal is denied/rejected/dismissed/whatever, I genuinely hope she keeps a modest amount on her winnings and donates the rest to planned parenthood and charities that benefit rape survivors on behalf of Trump’s name. Not her own. Watch his head kerplode like the fuckers in Kingsmen.

Everything about the trailer made my Fallout loving soul gleefully happy. The humour, the set pieces, the fact that everyone looks appropriately weary and dirty… I officially have exite!

two remixes I made of ADDITIONS card no. 5

How is there not more concern about a missile intended for Zelensky, which is fucking awful in and of itself, was alarmingly close to the Greek Prime Minister. We should be more than mildly concerned right now, yet… *crickets* (Link: amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/03/... )

Also, unrelated… but having a spider descending in front of your face in a darker room kinda throws your game off a bit Thank you, bud. I appreciate your trust that I won’t immediately overreact, but like, please, the living room is BIG. Find a different spot next time? (I put it in a safe spot.)

(2/2) Here’s a list of possible exposure locations: santemontreal.qc.ca/en/public/su... If you’re in the area, or have been, please check the link out and see if you need to monitor for symptoms. Also, consider masking in public spaces wherever you are located. Measles spread fast.

Saga @ladysaga76.bsky.social · 04/03/2024

There’s already up to 10 cases of measles in Quebec, most of which are in the Montreal area. We’re (the region) is mostly beginning spring break and I cannot imagine how quickly this will spread through those that are unvaccinated for any number of reasons. (1/2)

The mind boggles at how this was a unanimous decision.

It’s either going to be a Very Good Day, or an epic disaster when SCOTUS makes its decision known. Whatever happens, don’t let elation or despair lead to complacency. Y’all are going to have to fight every damn step of the way up to and beyond the election. Good luck, southern neighbours.

It is a very dreary day, but there’s no snow on the ground (yay? Yikes? Both????) so there’s that, I guess.

Fibro flares suck. Usually, they’re manageable and while uncomfortable, not an impediment. This one, however, has me flattened since Thursday afternoon, with no signs of letting up. I. Do. Not. Approve. Meatsacks are such a flimsy, shoddy mistake.

Look, we all know this is bullshit, but how many people WEREN’T isolating until they were better (or keeping their kids home, or both) because they simply couldn’t take the loss of income, or didn’t feel it necessary? How many people did this pre-covid? “oh, it’s just a flu, nbd!”

This is triage & absolutely not a substitute for immediate ceasefire & the lifting of obstructions to aid which the US & Israel could make happen instantly. But every life saved is a universe & I think this is a helpful coordination of the overwhelming number of gofundmes for Palestinian families.

The wind is howling relentlessly up here. It’s on the verge of being scary wind (house creaking, trees bending, many power outages in the region) and I’m casually gathering up candles, lighters, glow sticks and putting them in one goblin approved pile JUST IN CASE.
