I was so distracted by it I asked Ruby, "Do you think Lynch will at least have them kiss?" And got a no. And then maybe 12 seconds later Laura Harring walks into the bedroom in just a towel, like the Lesbian Reaper here to release me from the torment of this oppressive sexual tension.

Really, this is how you know I'm going to die on the operating table. My character arc is complete! As any prestige television show knows, all that's left for me now is to die suddenly!

Last night I watched Mulholland Drive (2001). Great final movie to watch. Wrote this to conclude a kinda rambling attempt to interpret the film on Letterboxd.

The human brain searches for patterns and meaning even where it makes no sense to. Therefore, as an inhabitant of the greater Philadelphia area, I am certain the Eagles' ridiculous list of injuries portends doom for my surgery.

S'nothing bad, for the record. I'm healthy. Other than my immune system apparently overacting from the stress of living here. That almost bumped the surgery. But they'll be drugging me and slicing me with knives early tomorrow morning, so pray I survive the encounter if that is your desire.

But the thing is, I've been in a car lots of times. Never been in surgery! And on average with car trips, I don't wake up full of stitches and morphine. Therefore, it's rational to be anxious about it! So I am.

Ashley @touchthecow.myatproto.social · 17h

See, the thing is, surgery is a lower mortality risk than driving in an automobile. I am less likely to die in surgery than on the car trip to surgery! Therefore, it's irrational to be anxious about it! So I'm not.

I love that your Sam & Max remasters have the original versions as DLC, it's what got me to pull the trigger on buying all three. Any chance Poker Night can get the same? Much as I love the idea of the stank filter (and classic Tycho), I'm still finding the original lighting is exactly what I want.

The timing was so bang-bang, I've never seen Ruby laugh so hard. But Lynch told me everything there! Almost 12 hours of TV before he was forced to reveal it! The worst thing I can say about his directing is *he had to be forced to reveal it after ~12 hours,* and still refused to resolve the story.

Like, literally they cut to him in Episode 2, and I stupidly quip, (rot13) "Guvf cbbe thl, ur'f gur bayl zna va Gjva Crnxf jub jnfa'g shpxvat uvf qnhtugre!"

Ruby's been showing me Twin Peaks. The best thing I can say about David Lynch's directing is he told me who the killer was loudly, clearly, and uncomfortably all the way back in Episode 2, yet the reveal 12—at times interminably-long—episodes later was still viscerally upsetting and unshakeable.

lmao I'm zaftig, as they say, and yet my big fat tits have little fat at all. They're nearly entirely milk glands and ducts, and supportive tissure. Cowtits City. It's the funniest possible result, so of course I got it.

Ashley @touchthecow.myatproto.social · 14/10/2026

Oh, also I don't have breast cancer. They think. Hard to tell because my tits are such milkers.

... is not abnormal. However, in
some cases, dense breast tissue can make it harder to find cancer on a mammogram
and may also be associated with a risk factor for breast cancer. Discuss this...

Ashley @touchthecow.myatproto.social · 14/10/2026

Anyway, I'm cow. (Breasts are dense tissue and fat. Dense tissue is milk glands, milk ducts, and supportive tissue. Despite being plesantly plump, my titties are made up of an extremely high degree of dense tissue.)

BREAST DENSITY: The breasts are extremely dense, which lowers the sensitivity of
mammography.

I haven't really felt the need for Quality of Life hacks, ever since they gave Claude the ability to play games for me. Really when you think about it, it's kind of the Ultimate Quality of Life.

It's just fucking perverse, man! Whatever excuse reason she would ever give, she is satiating herself on tracking our bathroom usage with a camera. She's done so many worse things than this, but none were this senselessly violating! She has recorded me in nothing but a towel with that camera! Why?!

I've made sense of *a lot* of my mother's extremely mentally ill reasoning over my life. She is a wretched and unwell woman who has coercively created a universe around herself where she is the only sane, competent human being, and everyone else is a scheming liar. But what possible motivation here?

Ashley @touchthecow.myatproto.social · 04/10/2026

I mean, why the fuck? What is the fucking purpose of this? Why do you want to secretly see when my partner and I go to the bathroom? It's literally set to a mode where it only briefly turns on when there's movement, it's there to track our comings and goings, and is pointed straight at our shower.

Ashley @touchthecow.myatproto.social · 03/10/2026

Do I feel disturbed? Violated? Deeply uncomfortable? Afraid to use the bathroom? Paranoid about whether this 7th camera inside the house will even be the last one I find spying on me? Yes. Am I surprised? No, not remotely. Is there any point to bringing this up to her? Only if I'm a deep masochist.

Ashley @touchthecow.myatproto.social · 03/10/2026

Today when coming out of the bathroom, I noticed a blue light turn on briefly to my left. I squinted, then stood in the doorway to the bathroom and took a few pics. Can't say for sure that I know how long my mother has been watching my partner and I's bathroom activity on a hidden camera.

Reactivated my account in order to share a peek into why Ashley has suffered a steep decline in emotional stability and sanity the past year. The doors in between the mess are to the bathroom Ruby and I were assigned, and my mother's room. House is a hoarder's nest, but that's not what I'm sharing.

I am surrounded by decisive people who never give me mixed signals.

Me: "I think I'm finally having a total breakdown. I'm considering massive changes to my life, and here's my thought process. If this seems irrational or harmful to you, firmly say so, as I will not hear you otherwise, and will assume I'm making perfect sense and act on it."

Friend 1: "Wow, we gotta get you out of that house. Anyway, I'm here whatever you do!"

Friend 2: "Hm. Maybe rethink those decisions? I think the opposite makes sense. But, no, actually. I get it. Good luck."

Girlfriend, after sighing deeply and looking grimly concerned for a full minute: "I just want whatever makes you happy. :)"

I think really that's what every other platform for achievements have been missing. The opportunity to get flashbanged by wannabe junior Nazis throwing salutes any time you pull a list up. I am always hearing it's the sense of community that makes RA different from platform achievements, and y'know,

Ashley @touchthecow.myatproto.social · 21/05/2026

RetroAchievements is awesome. It's all the fun of achievements, but you look at a set and it was developed by someone with a 4chan avatar and a bio demanding more wildly racist ROM hacks on the site, and in his comments is a dude with literally a Hitler avatar sayin like "I stand with you, brother."

Oh, did Google announce they're ending Google? That's kinda funny. Weird thing to do. I wouldn't have done it, if I'd carved myself out a bedrock cornerstone of the modern world, but I guess this is why I'm one of "the poors." Lack of vision. I'm not thinking like a disruptor.

Making curry? Having picnics? Try ordering a cheesesteak with your Pokémon. Poké Marts are all convenience stores that sell hoagies. Climb poles to find items. (The poles are greased at the start of the game due to a new champion in the region; pole climbing is unlocked after a 12 hour tutorial.)

I wonder if running like 8 Ring cameras around your house to turn it into a low-security prison and Amazon data harvesting site can have a deleterious effect on your internet speeds and stability. Anyway, it's back to a jittery 20 up/down, so I expect to be interrogated on if I'm watching streams.

Uh-oh. Set down my glasses, dunno where. My girlfriend is out for another two hours almost. Guess I'm basically blind for a while. Good thing she loves me and isn't skipping town, or I'd be blind forever.

My old opening line when people wanted to hear about what was so horrible about my upbringing used to be, "My mother stabbed my father in the shoulder when I was like 4, and made him treat it at home. This was one of the least traumatizing parts of my childhood." Still didn't prepare people!

Ashley @touchthecow.myatproto.social · 18/05/2026

It's just a complicated feeling, when I scratch the surface, and people communicate some vatiation of "Oh my god, you poor thing, I don't understand how you're as normal as you are, can I hug you?" Like, it's comforting! But man, this is too much for people and I haven't even drawn blood yet, huh?

Ashley @touchthecow.myatproto.social · 18/05/2026

The face my doctor made when I said my living situation has cameras in almost every room but mine communicated horror, and then something like "I thought I got it, but I didn't, but NOW I get it." Which was grounding for me! Except for how that's basically only the start of the issues here.

Okay, but people will vouch to this one. If I'm a genius anything, it's sexual. And I am shockingly horny, and always testing the limits of my abilities.

Me when I recognize the police from my picture book.

Rap artist Chuggo delivering the line, "That's the police," from his famous verse:

See that kid stealing? (Yeah.)
That was a thief!
See them dudes behind him? (Yeah.)
That's the police!
