Melanie 🏳️🌈 @mellusions.bsky.social · 22/03/2026My hippie mother kept a copy of 70’s era Our Bodies, Ourselves on the bookshelf that I would flip through alone when I could as a child. Wayyyyy too much childbirth and sexy time stuff for a kid, honestly. Horrifying. Reading it as a teenager was, uhhh, different. 🤭 010
Melanie 🏳️🌈 @mellusions.bsky.social · 24/12/2025Nothing like waiting until Christmas Eve to set a nice holiday table. 🎄🎅🏼🎄 Red is good for Valentines so I’m good til March! 😂 020
Melanie 🏳️🌈 @mellusions.bsky.social · 21/12/2025‘Tis the season to wear cheap costume Christmas jewelry and make my earlobes cranky for a month afterwards. Cant stop, won’t stop. MERRY CHRISTMAS! 🎄 010
Melanie 🏳️🌈 @mellusions.bsky.social · 14/11/2025It's not just a cursed timeline we live in but also one where the Catholic church gets to rehab it's image? *screams* Me, a person who lived in one of the most Catholic states in the US when they had an ironclad grip on local schooling, charities, hospitals & doing what they want to your children. 110

Melanie 🏳️🌈 @mellusions.bsky.social · 27/10/2025Is it normal now to do a blood test on an 11 week kitten? Feels scammy to me but I haven't had a kitten in over a decade so...? (Just feels like leukemia would pop up symptom wise on it's own pretty quickly without needing an expensive/invasive test for ALL kittens for it??) #cats #kittens #scam 040
Melanie 🏳️🌈 @mellusions.bsky.social · 20/10/2025New baby alert. No name yet but trending towards Luni or Bunny. 🐰 #cats #kitten 140

Melanie 🏳️🌈 @mellusions.bsky.social · 09/10/2025Love science, believe in science, science is (overall) good but jfc these Moderna covid shots never get any easier. Hellllllo my old friend, malaise, sparking all over pain, crushing headache and fever. We crush our bones now so that we might live tomorrow. 😣 000
Melanie 🏳️🌈 @mellusions.bsky.social · 01/09/2025That 2.5 seconds from ELATION to *cold sweats* whenever Concerned Ape announces another Stardew Valley update is coming is a real journey. Whew.

Melanie 🏳️🌈 @mellusions.bsky.social · 28/08/2025The HIGH I feel having my UK package get through this mess right under the wire and actually be delivered today. (Tried my best to support small, woman run businesses before they had to shut down US shipping. It’s going to be devastating to some sellers I love. 🤬) 000

Melanie 🏳️🌈 @mellusions.bsky.social · 11/07/2025Love to randomly break my new $600 iPad mini. (Unplugged it and half the screen is toast/black.) Delayed reaction from dropping it earlier in the day? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Whelp, back to using the 6 year old obsolete one. 😬 000
Melanie 🏳️🌈 @mellusions.bsky.social · 16/06/2025Grew up in this neighborhood during this time period. Loved the look of it but never went there. 😕 Parents really only took us to restaurants with ‘different’ food, like Chinese. Had a point, I guess. My mother honestly could cook anything the diner had just as well as they could. 000
Melanie 🏳️🌈 @mellusions.bsky.social · 24/04/2025Greenville Gourmet, early 90's, Emerald Square Mall. It was a local Jewish deli type place that had a street level spot, great sandwiches, pickles, hand made choc truffles/desserts. The sesame chicken sandwich in particular lives rent free in my head for the rest of my life. Sooo good! 000
Melanie 🏳️🌈 @mellusions.bsky.social · 18/04/2025Glorious day full of sunshine and light when your cat does the Big Poop!* *managing in/out flow gets pretty weird when your pet is almost 21 years old! 😬 000

It’s closing bc it was bought by a private equity firm. This is also what is happening to Hooters and what happened to US Toys R Us and Red Lobster.

Melanie 🏳️🌈 @mellusions.bsky.social · 21/02/2025🍿 🎥 Just a relaxing evening watching cops that are bad at their jobs and beautiful, icy cool villains. 👩🏻🍳 💋 000
Melanie 🏳️🌈 @mellusions.bsky.social · 05/02/2025Went with a mashed banana and a little melted butter instead of the eggs. Was….fine? Little crumbly. (Obviously not a great sub if you don’t want them tasting banana-y. I ain’t mad at that tho.) 000
Melanie 🏳️🌈 @mellusions.bsky.social · 05/02/2025AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. The neighbors chickens have stopped laying for over a month and I am now forced to hunt/procure eggs like a pleb for the first time in 3-4 years. Buying eggs is easy, right? RIGHT?!? (Off to google eggless cornbread...) 000
Melanie 🏳️🌈 @mellusions.bsky.social · 04/02/2025I’m not saying the news has been bad or anything but I’ve *quite literally* eaten 2/3rds of a jar of chili crisp in a week trying to chase some joy. As far as stress eating goes, that’s not a…..terrible fixation? I think? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 000
Melanie 🏳️🌈 @mellusions.bsky.social · 21/01/2025Whelp. I didn't *quite* finish reading the 1,700 page trilogy (Farseer) I started last week to immediately begin the newest dragon smut book (Onyx Storm) that came out today. Plans. RUINED. Dragon smut will have to wait another day. 😁 #books #blueskybookclub 010
Melanie 🏳️🌈 @mellusions.bsky.social · 31/12/2024Goodbye 2024, you sucked. My mother died, my 18 yr old cat had a disabling stroke, died 3 months later, husband broke his ankle in July &, due to complications, is STILL not back to work, my 20 yr old cat is actively dying right now, I had food poisoning, a foot injury……yeah. I’m EXHAUSTED. 😩 100
Melanie 🏳️🌈 @mellusions.bsky.social · 21/12/2024Have five books currently in progress (!!!) and it sure would be nice to finish 3 of them to hit 50 books read for the year but whewwwww is my attention span broken this month. 😑 000
Melanie 🏳️🌈 @mellusions.bsky.social · 11/12/2024I know Bluesky has the juice because the amount of times I write a totally banal comment to a post, proof read it, decide it's not worth getting 'noticed' over, delete it, and just move on has gone up by like........700%. (Or something. I'm admittedly making up numbers here.) 000
Melanie 🏳️🌈 @mellusions.bsky.social · 10/12/2024Actual snort laugh while in a quiet waiting room. AMONG US. Hahahahaha! I get not being ‘hip’ to video games but did no one do even a cursory search on this game? (Answer is no, obviously.) 000
Melanie 🏳️🌈 @mellusions.bsky.social · 04/12/2024Both loathe and love this ornament from Michael’s. Creepy is fun! I like creepy! Creepy is also creepy and maybe I don’t want this living in a box in my house year round. 😬😳 000
Melanie 🏳️🌈 @mellusions.bsky.social · 24/11/2024Got my stitchy advent calendar from kittenstitcher in the mail. Absolute BONKERS cost, BONKERS. In my defense, it was only available right after the election & was VERY limited. A ‘end of the world’ type purchase if you will. Look at all the wee envelopes. Very fun. :) #crossstitch #craft 020
Melanie 🏳️🌈 @mellusions.bsky.social · 23/11/2024Had a genuine gut punch of a moment when I realized that every single thing I have worked on for a few months is completely gray and maybe also about dead things.

Melanie 🏳️🌈 @mellusions.bsky.social · 18/11/2024One of those "open link to an embroidery advent calendar, get excited over it, think how much your mother loved embroidery, fall immediately down 100 flights of stairs, collapse into broken bits at the bottom for the rest of the day" type of day. It's fine. People should be remembered, no? 😐 010
Melanie 🏳️🌈 @mellusions.bsky.social · 17/11/2024Actually kinda crazy how things have skyrocketed in the last week.
