I just might pick the pink one if I get a 17e, just so I can feel something

I mean, having a $8* espresso drink every morning would motivate me, but that’s not really sustainable for my budget or overall calorie intake. Also, it’s my least favorite Starbucks alternative on the corner, so less than ideal * assuming taxes and tip, which maybe not if I’m going every day

On a happier note, Segundo has started to work die-cast racing back into his schedule and you can just bask in the glow of a rekindling special interest

I mean, this was why. But, like, I wasn’t imagining South Dakota

I just breathed in and imagined the crispness of a snowy day in my nostrils. What the hell is happening to me?

Also, I really have to finish the taxes. I have arranged so much of my life so that the only thing I have to struggle with every tax season is remembering how to file the parent provider income. And yet, every year I punt it in April and panic in October

Some of this behavior is like how she was before the valley fever got really bad so I’m honestly hoping there’s a bur she won’t let me get a good look at, or just about any kind of physical damage to her foot or leg that would mean that the fungus is still under control

The other thing I’m avoiding thinking about is that under some circumstances, Rosie seems to limp or like her feet are tender, but she also runs and jumps excitedly sometimes. We’re going to the vet today and neuro next week, so I’m worried but I’m also not walking her in case it’s a mundane injury

Really what’s going on here is that in the rush to finish this project, the objects are split between two methodologies and I’m starting to think that the more widely used one is the wrong way of thinking about those objects. So I’m avoiding thinking about it further

The actual problem I’m solving for is a total lack of motivation when I accidentally wake up at 4:45am and it’s dark, damp, and below 60°F. I mean, some people live like that, but maybe they just enjoy punishing themselves more?

I mean, it’s not that I wouldn’t wear leggings designated for women. I’m a little on the large side of women’s sizes, but I wasn’t ruling it out completely. I just wanted to see what my options were… and… huh.

Fat, Bald Dabus @thebleats.by86400.link · 14h

So I’m thinking maybe I should get some warm leggings or something so I’m not so daunted by the temperature that I don’t enjoy a bike ride. Looking through search results is all “for women, for women, for women, MEN’S ATTACK TIGHTS” and I am back to hating my presumptive gender

I mean, I’m not saying I’m not autistic or AuDHD or whatever, and I’m not saying it’s not disabling, but I’m a white cis-het-passing dude and trying to pretend that I’m a smol bean because the extra suitcases in my brain are filled with macaroni penguins or whatever is a pretty tough sell

The ad blitz is so intense I couldn’t tell if he was a sure thing or totally sunk. I’m glad it’s looking like the latter

Basically the main difference is that it’s difficult to get me interested in sports or speaking to people

It’s been raining all morning. How do you all put up with this?

The great tragedy of my life was realizing that in the grand scheme of things, I’m barely weird at all. I mean, weird enough to be ostracized during childhood, but whatever

Almost exclusively phone. I have a laptop for work but I don’t touch it for anything else. I have a desktop, but I don’t use it much

On the other hand, not having to do the school routine plus waning daylight is a recipe for wasted time, and wasted time is the shortest path to self excoriating

Really what I’m saying here is that I’ve lived such a comparatively straightforward life that I don’t even good material for dumb internet jokes

This book had better give me an indication that it’s going somewhere interesting soon, I don’t know how much longer I can take it

I have to tell you, the greebling on the Halloween Wreath set is not really my favorite

Basically what I’m saying is that unimaginative, unsolicited advice is one of my mother’s primary methods of expressing affection and it’s taken decades to appreciate that for what it is

Conveniently, being a parent is also more or less this kind of inconsequential

000

Fat, Bald Dabus @thebleats.by86400.link · 11/10/2026

I mean, talentless white dudes have been able to put food on the table with their creative endeavors, on account of the structure of privilege in this country but, a). that doesn’t make it right and b). as soon as you start believing that it’s because of self-justifying talent, you’re cooked

100

Fat, Bald Dabus @thebleats.by86400.link · 11/10/2026

This is entirely the kind of inconsequential that I wanted to be. Except, like, “how do you put food on the table?” is not something that I thought I could take for granted.

Context. I want to know what movie this screenshot is from. Search function. Shows up when I’m looking for something specific, even if the keywords aren’t in the body text. Jokes and memes. Some people add that in alt text alongside context. Attribution. Just think of them like captions.

Hi, I’m a sighted alt text user! Here are some reasons I use it: - Slow Internet on an airplane - I’m over 40, I have no idea who that celebrity is - Bluesky broke images again - My vision sucks and that text is too small to read otherwise - Conveys further context and authorial intent

Anyway, I love systems and I love thinking about which situations play to their strengths and I love that technology has made it easier to appreciate the meticulousness of these systems

I would say the same thing about Warhammer except nothing beats the satisfaction of dropping a fistful of dice onto a table and picking through them for successes

On the one hand, I fully endorse using computers to assist with running D&D and PF, on the other I also take it as exhibit A that these have always been terrible games for in-person play. And I say that as someone who is really enjoying an online PF2E game right now

In all earnestness, constantly getting the same mainstream advice usually just feels like telling me to assemble a Lego set with my toes. I couldn’t tell you if that’s because it genuinely doesn’t apply, or if it’s just that good old demand avoidance and rejection sensitivity

Fat, Bald Dabus @thebleats.by86400.link · 11/10/2026

Luckily it doesn’t take a genius to work out that having food and a roof over your head are consequences too, so you can’t be totally inconsequential forever

Fat, Bald Dabus @thebleats.by86400.link · 11/10/2026

None of this is new, or unique, of course. Story of parents since time immemorial. I’m just terrible at listening to advice. Wait.
