I had to pull out a calculator to figure out if I'm already 47, or if I'm turning 47 this year. I think my brain may be broken.

My wife and I use "as was the custom at the time" whenever we talk about something we used to do in our youth. Sometimes real. Sometimes imagined.

I've never been a coffee drinker. But I have discovered that if I use our Keurig to put a small mocha latte and a small hot chocolate in one mug, it's delicioius. Fortunately, I buy big mugs.

Actor Richard M Dumont is one of America's great un-sung heroes. You will know him if you were a fan of SNICK, back in the 90s.

Believe trans youth.

poster of the character from Assigned Male comics Stephie, with her arms crossed, who says : The longest and most extensive study on the matter (pagefoot note : the Lancet Journal of child and adolescent health, oct. 20th 2022) recently found that out of 720 trans teenagers who started hormone therapy half a decade ago, 98% were still continuing their treatment today. Desistance and detransition myths are lies designed to create a moral panic and a transphobic backlash. believe trans youth.

My QA person at work told me how impressed they are that my writing is clear, grammatical, and correctly spelled, given that I've told them I refuse to use AI. That just made me very, very sad.

It can never be proven to me that people say nice things about me. Because my wife would lie because she loves me. And kind, considerate people would feel pressured to say nice things *to* me just to make me feel better. And since it can't be proved...it's really hard to believe. I'm like that.

Yeah, this guy's a dear, dear friend. But it's not just friendship that makes me tell you he's awesome. I've commissioned a bunch of art from him, and it's always fantastic!

"...the Institutional Gothic involves uncanny spaces, malevolent forces, and overwhelming discomfort... But where the traditional Gothic is dark + looming with ornate architecture, the Institutional Gothic occurs in winding or otherwise empty office spaces, consumed by machine-made mundanity..."

A new spin on an old genre replaces flesh-and-blood monsters with the mundanity of modern bureaucracy.

moggie and i had to stop using the laser pointer to play with our old cat, Calla, because she kept looking for it after we turned it off and we felt guilty in case you wanted to know what kind of people we are

I may have mentioned this before, but it continues to tickle me. My mother-in-law (in her mid-80s) struggles with the they/them pronouns a bit. But she's trying hard! She regularly refers to me as "Morgan and them". Seriously, I love her so much.

No, I'm not going to watch it or support it. I have not even bothered to watch the Trailer for it! There is no reason to support that woman or her hatred. Don't say it, don't read it, don't watch it! Support your trans friends!

it's very weird to me that i only got to know my mom after dad died like from the time i was about 11 to 24, i'm not sure she always remembered i existed. she once had to ask me when my birthday was. it wasn't so we could celebrate it, mind you, she was just filling something out 1/10

I don't know why I feel that I need to read dystopias even though the world is trending towards a more boring version. But there you are. To balance it out, I'm still working on the #Discworld read-though. On Lords and Ladies now.

I talk about hating my job, and I do. But we also just bought some desperately needed new recliners for the living room, and we couldn't have done that without my pay. So, there are compensations, is all I'm saying.

Another fun work-related story: I got employee of the month (which is hilarious, 'cause I really dislike my job, but am apparently good at it). The newsletter bio consistently referred to me as "they." I feel very seen and validated. Which might explain part of why I still work there.

I mentioned by wife in a work chat. A co-worker out of India messaged me, "But I thought you were a woman?" There were a thousand ways to respond, but I eventually decided it would be quickest to just explain I'm agender. She can learn about lesbians another time. (BTW, she responded well.)

Apparently, it's odd to keep saying, "Gesundheit" when your cat has a sneezing fit. I thought I was just being polite.

when conservatives used liberal as a snarl world, liberals who were terrified of being conflated with leftists would always come back with "no, 'liberal' just means we care about diversity and democracy and civil rights" as if THAT wasn't exactly what the conservatives were objecting to

DeviantArt returns a lot of AI generated nonsense for every search I make nowadays. But a side effect DA being glutted with AI art is that I'm now seeing a lot - A LOT - of examples of what are clearly hyperspecific fetishes. Not gross ones, mind you, just deeply outre.

In case you ever wondered what spoiling someone looks like when there's no money involved, heres an example: I've been in a rough place, emotionally. So, for the third day running, my wife is allowing me to watch my #1 comfort show, Kingdom Hospital. On repeat. I am so very lucky.

Starting my annual #Discworld read-through. I love this. I sleep listening to the audio book versions, that's how much I love them. And no matter how well I know the texts, I get a thrill each and every time. If you haven't read them yet...what are you waiting for?
