ramblingflan @ramblingflan.bsky.social · 13/10/2026
make that three housemates: - there's also a cat in the attic it appeared healthy from the brief glimpse i caught, so i suppose it's sourcing food and water somewhere and this is just a rest stop

Macintosh b&w art, random pick from my collection day 05
black and white bitmap art, we see a dark sky with clouds forming stripes. An old broken cruise ship is resting on cracked, dry land. an old mac is seen on the ground, half buried. Some futuristic cities are seen in the far back and have skyscrapers and gigantic bubbles surrounding the whole city.

chatting with a woman on the bus, i mentioned going to tea later she reached into her purse and pulled out a little packet with a tea bag and a bedazzled teapot keychain, gifted it to me, and invited me to join her at a tea party tomorrow 🤷‍♂️ life: interesting, painful, ridiculous...sometimes fun

met my friend's gf's aunt, and she told friend's gf's mom, "he looks sickly" mom's a naturopath, and this triggered, "he needs my help" now mom has invited me to tea at her home life has been a lot of things during my struggles, including frustrating and depressing but always interesting

I love that his current website bills him as Jeff Slutsky - The Street Fighter. Do you think he could take Marc "Animal" MacYoung?

bleeding stopped (we're pretty sure) enjoying some broth and a popsicle now (not together, as the broth would render the popsicle just a pops)

mom's gone nearly a decade, but today would be her 77th bday if she weren't. nine years i've waited for time to make good on its promise to heal all wounds so i'd stop missing her. today i finally understood that missing someone special isn't a wound.
