Finally gotten the hand of the new oven steel (and new oven, and new province). Nature is healing. (Me. I'm the nature.)

A pizza straight out of the oven with blistered crust and cupped pepperoni.

Just asked to fill out a survey for Tumblr about their Premium services. So, here's my answer for their final open answer question, "Is there anything else you want to tell us?" *cracks knuckles*

I dunno man, the Internet just sucks now. It’s ten years past its prime, 'cause all the sites that created the things that people talked about on Tumblr are gone.

Sites like Tumblr, but also Shitty-X/Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest — all of that was only good because the rest of the Internet existed. Tumblr's the least bad, don't mistake me, but y'all are the big box megamarts that crowded out the corner stores where people hung out and made the cool stuff they wanted to share. Without them, all sites like you can do is reference each other, echos of echos, when it’s not a sales pitch for some drop-shipped garbage or AI slop.

The internet's dead, my dudes, and it's not coming back for $6.99/month.

Gonna have to buy her a car and start talking about university options.

I know, intellectually, I am making progress on the move back to Ontario but EVERYTHING IS CHAOS right now. Which feels like the process for every story I've written -- though at least with a story, I can close the laptop.

Steph Charette @stephcharette.bsky.social · 11/11/2025

I purged so many books before I moved here, but dang it, I want them this time. 😅

I am so annoyed at myself!! And that second copy, I went and sourced on like used bookstores because it was totally out of print! Aiyiyi

That feeling when you find a duplicate book and you've already packed the one with the ugly cover but you're still want to keep the nice cover so you decide to deal with it four provinces away from now. 😭

Can someone develop a time machine, then go back to each time I'm in a bookstore to screech, "STEPHANIE YOU WILL HAVE TO MOVE EACH OF THESE BOOKS ONE DAY!? Think about Future You!" Who is currently surrounded by boxes. 😭😭😭

My cat's new name is, "You will get some when I get some." 🙄 (Let me have a bite of my breakfast, plz??)

A PLETHORA of REEVES (and an alleged manager) on TikTok who really want to get me in touch with Keanu. 🤣🤣🤣 This timeline, I suppose it's theoretically possible.

So straight I choose the wrong straight. But a strait of coffee? That'd be some gooood swimming. 😂

Picked up a cute set of macaron shaped erasers that smelled like they'd been pulled out of a twenty-year tire fire.

Steph Charette @stephcharette.bsky.social · 03/04/2025

Oh god that would be hilarious tho

Steph Charette @stephcharette.bsky.social · 03/04/2025

If the eraser looks like food, you have a legal obligation that it also SMELL like food.

Just grabbed the ebook! (Also that cover is HOT.)

Steph Charette @stephcharette.bsky.social · 24/03/2025

I wouldn't be either! HUZZAH! Can't wait to get my hands on it.

I am SO READY for this election. This will be the most pivotal election in my lifetime. What's happening down south cannot be allowed to travel north an inch further.

(the drumsnare-punchline of it all is that I already OWN that book on burnout)

Steph Charette @stephcharette.bsky.social · 16/03/2025

Is it funny or telling that while looking at a book on witchcraft, the bookselling website algorithmically offers up a book on burnout? Asking for a friend.

Yes still in the *checks notes* novelette though we're likely to tip over that when I type in all my long hand notes. Serious question:

Analog TV screen, blue with green letters, all caps, with the line: DOES THIS STORY EVERY END?!

Because I can, I'm doing a complete watch/binge of the entire rebooted [BLANK] OF THE APES movies, and wow, they did Caesar *so dirty* - even the people that "loved" him. Especially those that loved him.

Steph Charette @stephcharette.bsky.social · 22/02/2025

If you get on the back entrance of the bus, you suck. Full stop, no excuses. I see kids do it, I see adults, I see little grannies do it to beat each other to a seat. Translink remove the back pass already--this is transportation anarchy. 😂

Wrestling with Google Docs is not how I wanted to start this writing session, but here we are. Meanwhile later, it's a doored cabinet assembly and then, THEN, the moving of my entire tarot/oracle collection into its new home followed by the reorganization of at least two bookshelves. OH BABY. 😍

OH THANK GOD, it drops weekly. (I'd forgotten.) I can't be tempted into a binge.

Steph Charette @stephcharette.bsky.social · 17/01/2025

I'm only about to finish the first episode of S2 now. Gonna savor it, mmmmmmm.

Steph Charette @stephcharette.bsky.social · 17/01/2025

Not in a misery porn kind of way but acknowledging that sometimes you get to a place and there's no right, "perfect" path through. Also the gaslighting and misinformation and manipulation is peak capitalism. A perfect hell.
