Honestly, "as easy as possible" is all I'm hoping for at this point. I learned with Alice. There are no miracles.

Do I feel personally targeted by the new Jolie Beauty x Hammer Horror Dracula collection? Am I feverishly shaking my ko-fi and my Poshmark? The answer to both of these questions is YES. usa.joliebeauty.co.uk/collections/...

I am still in NY/NJ until Thursday morning. It didn't make sense to fly back early, since Mom's still deep enough in medical embroilment that having me on-site would make things harder, not easier. Unrelated, I am looking at the Wednesday matinee of THE LOST BOYS like it's the promised land.

United Wizards of the Coast - CWA @uwotc-official.bsky.social · 16h

Wizards is responsible for industry-shaping games, but that isn’t reflected in how we’re treated. Stella Sherwin of the Duel Masters team is unionizing to change that. Show your support for our efforts and sign our petition! actionnetwork.org/forms/uwotcp...

“I support unionizing at Wizards of the Coast because everyone deserves respect and dignity. I've seen surprise layoffs that disrupt livelihoods and pile more work on already overloaded teams even as Wizards has its best year ever again and again. I want to win layoff protections so we can feel secure and focus on our work rather than worrying if we'll have any work. I love my team and this company and am unionizing to make it, and our games, the best they can be.”

This is less concern about missing deadlines, more concern about the fact that my coping methods are basically all disassociation-based, and I have a devastating fear of judgment. "How can she say things are so bad and then talk about Broadway?"

But I'm an eldest daughter and I don't think I get my mom back after this, and I don't know how to be in a world without her. I just want to go back to bed until it's over. I want Alice. And I want not to have to tell anyone this, because I want it to not be real. But it is real.

But I may not be touring much, and will probably be even worse about admin stuff, like answering email or being polite by neurotypical standards when asked direct questions. I'm sorry. I'm doing my best over here. I'm really, really doing my best.

What does this mean for me, or for you in relation to me? Well, I'm still working. If I stop working, I think I will literally lose my mind. I need the almost violent degree of disassociation that I can force through work, just to get through the day.

She's currently in skilled nursing, and we don't know when--or if--she's coming home, or what that will look like. I'm having her bathroom shower rebuilt, in the hopes that she'll see it again, but I honestly...I don't know if she will. It's not good. Things are not good.

I've said for years that having her living with me meant I could be Thoreau: how do I get so much done? Well, part of it has been someone in the house whose rent and board was paid by cleaning, cooking, and occasionally bringing me a sandwich.

I have been trying not to say this, but the cracks are showing, and so I need to beg for grace, which means disclosure. So: My mother, who lives with me, has had a stroke. Technically, she's had two strokes. One was just very minor. And one...was very not.

making me nervous. 3 days left and last stretch. in an age of slop conmen and seedy rights grabbers, feels all the more important to focus on the reliable mags we can trust. if you enjoy their work and are able, this is a good time to chip in. the best time even, some might say.

Cached US #KindleBookGiveaway: 8 copies of Feedback (Newsflesh Novels Book 4), by Mira Grant(although I hear that @seananmcguire.bsky.social helped out as a sounding board). This is a sidequel, not a sequel, to the main series, but reading the original trilogy will help I suspect.

I would be EXTREMELY annoyed to discover my PR is "AI"-generated, and as someone bombarded with dozens of "AI"-generated emails daily, I assure you the stink of "AI" is immediately noticable and immediately dismissible. Publishers are not doing their new books any favors in using it.

Hotel: *puts signs in elevator asking people to stop at six* Hotel: *has at least one broken elevator all weekend* People: cram nine into the elevator, then make surprised Pikachu faces when it groans. ...I often dislike the lack of reading comprehension in this world.

Unemployed college student Barron Trump made $150m in one year. When asked about it Trump said "It's none of your business". Republicans: Silent. When Hunter Biden sold $40k worth of paintings, Republicans shrieked, investigated, held hearings and said Joe Biden should be impeached over this.

She did some amazing grace runs on "Wild," but she missed some timing cues on "The Good Part," so overall, my impression was mixed.

(Also, you can truly believe that Bourzgui's David is in love with Michael, but Marais's David wants to fuck him nasty on the boardwalk. I support both these interpretations. Star's invited either way.)

This is a show with a bright future ahead of it, is what I'm saying here, and I continue to recommend it without reservations.

Well, tonight I saw the production with Pierre Marais in the role, taking over while Bourzgui is on a well-deserved vacation. And his David, while different, was no less incredible. His is a down and dirty punk rock David, and I loved every bloody minute.

After seeing THE LOST BOYS on Broadway back in April, I was concerned that Ali Louis Bourzgui (David) was so electric, so magnetic, that the show's center would not hold without him. We've seen this with other high-concept shows; DEATH BECOMES HER didn't survive the cast change.

Reread Rolling in the Deep from APOCALYPSE SCENARIOS: THESE ARE THE WAYS THE WORLD ENDS by Mira Grant ( @seananmcguire.bsky.social ) and the whole Edition is filled with dystopian terror. Some of the stories hurt more due to the current shit storm happening around us.

All the kids getting measles these days are at risk of neurologically deteriorating and dying years after seeming to recover. If only there was a safe way to prevent this… [There is. Well meaning parents are simply choosing to avoid the prevention.]
