I need to get screened for whatever kinda of neurodivergence makes it so I can be so exhausted all day I actually feel ill, promise myself multiple times that I would ABSOLUTELY be in bed an hour & a half ago, and yet here I am not doing that an hour & a half later still so tired I feel sick.

Made the mistake of posting on “the discourse” and took maybe five minutes for some hysteric Bluesky scold to come along and remind me that sometimes I really don’t have the patience for this site. Anyway, I deleted it. They can go find someone else to scold about tone or whatever & leave me alone.

Far too many people here making self-righteous claims about a movie they clearly haven’t seen & the reason you know they haven’t seen it is because what they’re saying has nothing to do with what actually happens in the film thanks to a previously concealed twist early on. Again. Do better, Bluesky

Been thinking about Digger this weekend & have been reading about it on various social media platforms (because no one I know…or much of anyone really…has seen it). I regret to inform you that the discussions on the Nazi app are far better & more thoughtful than here. Step up your game, Bluesky.

I hope I don’t see what I think I just saw but I think I just saw it. Fuck, that sucks for Thornton.

I must be in a mood today… My latest grammar pet peeve is folks who say “recommend me a book/movie/etc” It’s “recommend TO me.” The construction is recommend+the thing that is being recommended. When you say “recommend me” you’re asking someone to recommend YOU to someone, not something to you.

So, I have a new type of post I hate the most and it’s this one: “Why do people do this thing that I think is <<some clearly passive aggressive way to imply it’s wasteful/silly/selfish/dumb/etc>>? No shade. I’m genuinely curious.” Bitch, own that shade. Say it with your whole chest, coward.

At brunch. Sitting next to a table of the most self-satisfied antivaxers and I wonder if they noticed how much I’ve rolled my eyes. Because it’s been A LOT. 😆

In 2 pages of absolute nonsense I, a certified DST hater, still feel compelled to point out that this is wrong: “Afternoon light is better than morning light.” Science has shown morning light is vital for mental health and resets your cortisol cycle & your circadian rhythm to improve sleep.

Having seen the movie, this is kinda great because it’s a direct plot reference.

I really like Digger and I have no idea if you should go see it. 😆 It’s weird as hell in a way I loved but I can absolutely see why others would hate. I don’t even know how to describe it because it’s a movie where the less you know going in, the better. The satire skewers everybody. Everyone.

Yes….And also, I was raised by and around blue collar workers and I was informed from a very young age that I WOULD be going to college & getting a better type of job. Their words, not mine. My father & every blue collar uncle I have had their bodies completely break down in their 40s & 50s.

It’s really indicative of the hubris of tech bros that they thought “threatening” to walk out on the single most powerful religious leader in the world and a head of state (Vatican City) would be met with anything other than a polite nod and shrug. The pope doesn’t need them & I bet they hate it.

This random couple pulled into the parking lot in front of my apartment building, stopped their car in the middle of the drive, got out & started taking selfies by other cars & in front of the buildings, then got back in their car and drove away. Fucking weirdos.

Standing is not a measure of fitness and long unbroken stretches of standing are actually hell on the body. We’re meant to be moving, not sedentary in a different position.

Again, don’t tell me I’ll have to vote for harm mitigation when the potential candidate refuses to mitigate harm.
011
Sericite @sericite.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
I won’t vote him. I just won’t. But but but the harm mitigation… You can talk to me about that once he starts to show a commitment to actually mitigating harm.

Ah, I see that Auntie Joyce has let her Bad Take Persona off the leash again. It’s the yin & yang of JCO…for every righteous & razor sharp skewering of Elon, there’s a tone deaf & clueless mess of an observation.

Wait! It is The Judds. It sounds like the chorus of Grandpa (Tell Me ‘Bout The Good Old Days). I didn’t listen long enough when I was doing a refresher (I could only remember the verse for some reason). Whew…I can rest now. 😆

Sericite @sericite.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
My brain keeps insulating it’s a song by the Judds, but it’s not. But it is a song by a female artist from the 80s or early 90s. And I will now proceed to go insane.

After the 3rd person I saw on socials insist I’ve heard it if I’ve ever gone in a store, I finally listened to Choosin’ Texas. It is possible I heard it & thought it was something else because the melody sounds ripped from an 80s country song that I can’t place & am going crazy trying to remember.

Sericite @sericite.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
Nope. I can almost…ALMOST…understand Endgame since it has been so long since it was released & no doubt their mish mash of a plan has acquired some continuity errors. This is unacceptable.

In which Rolling Stone gets irritated that people who don’t listen to country music have the audacity to mention they don’t listen to country music when informed about a popular country song they haven’t listened to…because they don’t listen to country music.

Thank you.I’ll keep that in mind. Alas I won’t be able to head back to the laundromat until I’m back in town on Monday or I’d try it right now. Luckily the rain has stopped, so I’ve got them airing on my deck until it’s time for me to leave. 😆

It’s been a full 24 hours since I washed these clothes, they’re almost entirely dry and they STILL smell just a strong as when I hung them up. It’s like the world’s worst air freshener. Except I think air fresheners fade faster.

Evidence for the potentially undiagnosed neurodivergence file: I had to crash super hard last week & early this week to meet a deadline. The aftermath is the last half of this week I have had no ability to focus at all. Just a complete lack of ability to lock in. Yes, I should be working right now.

I don’t listen to her, but I saw someone say she’s at that height of fame where no one can tell her no anymore. And even as a non-Swiftie, that starting to feel very very true.

I’m legitimately going to need to run these clothes through the washer again because they absolutely reek. Like I’m slightly nauseated. Don’t know what those people did to that washer but wish they wouldn’t have. Blahhhh.

Being put on hold without hold music is super weird. Are you still there? Did you accidentally hang up on me? Is my phone working? Makes me feel more kindly toward the cheesy soft jazz we usually get.

We have a new trash collection company here at the apartment complex, and for some reason they regularly come empty the dumpsters at almost 1 AM. My dudes…people are SLEEPING. (Not me yet obviously…lol)

Still going to the stupid laundromat because they still haven’t fixed the laundry room. I use fragrance free products, but whoever used the machine before me must have left some powerful fabric softener or something in the dispenser. My whole damn apartment reeks of overwhelming fake florals now. 🥴

Listening to a true crime podcast about Ed Kemper, the Co-Ed Killer. Apparently, while in prison he’s narrated audiobooks? And one of the titles he apparently narrated is Flowers In The Attic. I don’t even care if it’s true…the way I cackled at the black humor of pairing that man & that title. ☠️

They’ll try to use this as proof it’s “thinking” or conscious (look how it’s described) but it’s exactly the opposite. This happens because it DOESN’T think so it can’t use its judgement to know what’s meant / allowed. It’s user error, and a repeating one because humans can’t anticipate every avenue

The Discover tab on Bluesky is such a trip because I never know what’s gonna cause it to just kinda lose its mind for a few days? A few months ago it spent a week sending me a bunch of gym daddy posts. And today it’s showing me every single post a random user I don’t follow made today.

Sericite @sericite.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
Yeah, it’s getting on my last nerve. And it’s not a lot, like 20-50 cents usually, which is why they get away with it. Best Buy tonight was literally 5 cents…which is kinda…why bother? But it pisses me off because those fees are their problem, just like paying their electric bill. 😡

New pet peeve: The sudden rush of restaurants and stores that ring you up with a pay with cash price and a higher pay with credit price. First a couple mid sized restaurants did it. But tonight? FRICKIN’ BEST BUY. Bitch, credit card fees are part of your overhead; YOU pay that shit not me.

Trader Joe’s Food Review: Their new seasonal cranberry jalapeño chicken meatballs are really good. A little sweet & only the tiniest touch of spice…more flavor than heat. Recommended. Also got their Salted Maple ice cream last week. SO GOOD.

Did you know that if you point out that some hiring managers may think bringing your giant iced latte to an interview is a little too casual for a corporate Fortune 500 interview, you’re a bootlicking fascist contributing to…well…so far the list includes misogyny, classism, racism, and ableism.

I recognize Bluesky’s relative lack of algorithmic engagement is much better for my mental health, but sometimes I do miss being served the insane discourse of the day in a grab-your-popcorn sort of way. 😆 I’m really enjoying the unhinged “iced coffee at a job interview” discourse on Threads now.

Just saw an absolutely insane ad supporting Missouri Amendment 3 pushing some of the most unhinged “trans agenda” bullshit. Sigh. It’s gonna be a long autumn here in Missouri.
