Poisontaster @poisontaster.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I knew a lot of an older generation checks out on keeping up with younger ones, but I didn’t realize how much cultural shift can make a younger generation indecipherable or hard to decipher, anyway. 0100
Poisontaster @poisontaster.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I am finding sweet sweet disassociation in watching videos of turtles and birds, while also recognizing am not remotely equipped to adequately care for either. Luckily, I am not planning to acquire any? But still. A wee bit weird. 2150
Poisontaster @poisontaster.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I love Critical Role and Dimension 20, but they both make me so sad about my inability to DM my own games right now. 😢 6100
Poisontaster @poisontaster.bsky.social · 07/09/2026I feel like the key to understanding and/or appreciating Vin Diesel’s filmography is knowing/learning he’s a big TTRPG player. 2140
Poisontaster @poisontaster.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Some Leverage episodes have not aged well, and not for the reasons you think, ie. the whistleblower outraged that her company is selling food they know has salmonella. 2151
Poisontaster @poisontaster.bsky.social · 30/08/2026A movie showed up in my Fandango account that neither I nor Spouse purchased. Moreover, it’s not a movie we have any interest in watching, but it seems quite silly for me to email or call them to complain about GAINING A FREE MOVIE. I do feel like I’ve found a new peak of 1st world problems tho. 1100

Poisontaster @poisontaster.bsky.social · 11/07/2026I do not regret the life I’ve had since my cancer treatment, I’m grateful for it, but I do have to wonder whether the ongoing medical journey I’ve been on since then is my body saying, “We’ve even trying to close up shop, please go to the registers and finish your purchases, woman!!” 0130
