That's fair! I have to do an email/weather/transit check at least

Unfortunately the handful of times I've tried that inevitably are days where the train is experiencing delays, a class was cancelled, or it's unexpectedly supposed to rain. I just accept the raised blood pressure in exchange for being prepared

I have decided. I am old. I'm going to lean into it and start bringing my check book. They can deposit it on their phone! It's compatible with everything! Fuck the noise, here's a legally binding piece of paper.

We have a lot of group builds at school where inevitably people owe each other money for supplies, and all the kids use Z3lle for some ungodly reason, barely anyone has P@yPal or V3nmo. My credit union doesn't use Z3lle, so I'm always having to find the ONE student with something else, or exact cash

There was momentary confusion about how I knew Mango before they realized that the heroic daughter in my mom's story who helped scoop him into his carrier was me.

I took Zivaline to the vet for her monthly injection 2 hours after Mom brought Mango to the vet for his pre-op appointment before he gets neutered, and got to chat with the front desk folk about how cute he is.

We were here on Saturday and I am absolutely devastated that they're trying to pull this. It's an incredible museum with so much history! I think we could also capitalize on the fact that they have a giant bullfrog in their care whose name is MORBO THE DESTROYER and I absolutely adore her.

The secret ingredient in the sauce that I refuse to officially include is a lil spoon of Smoke N Sanity essence of garlic powder. It adds a tiny bit of extra garlic flavor but it's expensive and you have to order it online. Don't buy it, just use garlic olive oil like a normal IBS sufferer.

I made enchiladas by cooking a pound of ground beef, a can of rinsed white beans, low FODMAP taco seasoning, mixing in some lactose free mozz, and filling corn tortillas with that and then coating it all with the green sauce in a casserole dish, covering it with LF Mexican cheese blend, bake, eat.

Throw everything in a high powered blender and let it go, use the soup function if it has it, otherwise simmer it in a pan to finish cooking it, pour liberally on everything.

Halve and deseed the peppers, peel paper off tomatillos and halve, jam them on a lined baking tray and roast until skin is blistered (400 degrees about 35 minutes). Peel skin off the peppers after they rest, covered, to loosen things up.

☕🐱🍓Quin💛🐻💙 @queclecumber.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

I think I've mastered the green enchilada sauce. 1lb Anaheim peppers 0.6lb of tomatillos, 1 jalapeño, 1 massive red bell pepper, a big handful of cilantro, a bunch of green onion, juice from half a lime, 1 cup of chicken broth, a big glug of garlic olive oil, about 1.5tsp cumin, salt to taste.

The holiday creep is getting so bad that eventually Christmas shopping will start December 26th

They do, but it's limited and already discounted!

It's still technically summer but also can it be December now? I'm ready for winter

So anyway I went to Cost Plus today and they have their Christmas stock out, and then I walked back to my car where it read 97 degrees.

Annie Dillard's book An American Childhood was my absolute favorite book in my teen years and I still have a huge soft spot for it. I'm so sad to hear that she's died.

But also yay I have cats! And live in a house! And I'm not in abject poverty!!! And wait this isn't the same Matrix Brett had but somehow basically the same car and now it's mine?

Deeply confused, mostly. Glad I went back to college but what the fuck took so long? And also why am I living with my best friend's boyfriend? We do not appear to just be roommates. (Don't worry, we're still friends, and I did not steal @nojellybeans.bsky.social 's boyfriend)

Nothing like going to the grocery store while the country panics. I was a month shy of 11, but my older siblings were 13 and 15 so they properly should have been clued in before dinner time

We were homeschooled and my mom went about her day normally and didn't tell us anything, we didn't find out until that evening when my sister turned on the radio and instead of music all the stations were playing news. I remember visiting a family friend who was panicking and my mom shushing her.

US actively lied about health impacts that would ultimately kill more people than the attack itself, we started a war that killed millions in response, and then ~7,000,000 people died from covid. And it feels like at no point during this unfathomable destruction of humanity did anyone learn anything

23/x There was no way to announce destinations over the noise. Deckhands wrote them on cardboard and held the signs up: Jersey City, Hoboken, Staten Island, Brooklyn. People at the railings picked their boat the way commuters pick a bus. The system ran for the rest of the day.

22/x Not everyone left by water. From the boat, Day radioed a suggestion that people could walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. The police opened it to pedestrians, and the span filled with people walking home to Brooklyn. It helped, in his words, quite a bit.

21/x That was the technical problem: Manhattan's esplanade is not a dock. Wrong heights, no bollards, ornamental railings. Tugs nosed against the granite and held position on their engines while deckhands lifted office workers over the fences and down onto the decks.

In the interest of getting them dead ASAP I'm using advantage II tonight (historically it seems to work on cats I have known) but when I'm with Zivaline at the vet in two weeks I'll ask what they have and how long I should wait to dose them after this treatment

☕🐱🍓Quin💛🐻💙 @queclecumber.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

I didn't find any fleas on Hothorne and I haven't seen any around the house. Any tips for making sure we don't end up with a full blown outbreak beyond topical flea meds for the kitties, vacuuming a lot, and washing all the loose soft things? We of course have wall to wall carpets.

The transit system is completely fucked this week, Brett is going into the office two counties away for work, I fell and injured my hand yesterday, and this morning I found fleas on Zivaline for the first time ever. This week is not going very well
