Hey @choochoobear.bsky.social someone has escaped containment and is looking for a new owner in Wisconsin...

Got my election official scheduling email this morning. As always, working the 6 am - 1:30 pm shift on November 3rd. Maybe this year I'll bake chocolate chip cookies. Or make a spice cake with cream cheese frosting and slice them into bars.

To boldy go... Happy 60th anniversary, Star Trek! 🖖🏻

The dress is white and has a repeating print of the USS Enterprise all over it. She is wearing black wrist length gloves.  She is wearing a fascinator made of the USS Enterprise-D.

I survived Hobonichi Techo Glitchfest 2026. Snagged my A6 planner, a Liberty Weeks, & the V&A jewels stickers. I haven't had a Weeks for a few years b/c I didn't feel like I was using it properly, but I'm going to give it another go.

I had a ADHD moment and realised I needed to quickly process 10 lbs of potatoes before they went off. So I pulled a Rincewind and mashed them all. They'll keep well in the freezer and that's a decent chunk of meal prep done for the week.

Today was leg day at the office gym. By the time I got to front squats, there was someone else on the squat rack, so I swapped in Bulgarian split squats and hoo boy, those are more difficult than I was expecting. But a better choice, I felt my core & balance getting worked on.

Last week or so, the mobile Reddit site decided everything needed to be big tiles & autoplay videos. Today, when I go to the site, I can't even scroll, it redirects me to the app instead. No thank you. I have been trying to spend less time on my phone, so thanks for that, I guess.

My sign of Terry Pratchett quotes was very popular at today's match. I got stopped for a lot of pictures & people who were happy to see him represented. I got the channel my inner Constable Visit-The-Infidel-With-Explanatory-Pamphlets when people who hadn't heard of The Discworld asked about it.

I was picking books to bring with me to the polling place. Grabbed the newest Laundry Files by @cstross.bsky.social and then slowly put it down. With the current state of American politics, it felt too cursed to have while engaging in democracy.

Yes! Got my election official assignment for Tuesday! Opening shift, which is my favourite. I love being the go to person for setting up the tabulator and the electronic voting machine. I hope we get lots of new voters to register. Turnout is estimated to be 10% for this primary.

A Guatemalan jade necklace hangs from a silver box chain in the right center of the frame. To the left of it, sits a Montgomery-Ramsay product box just a touch out of focus. The background is red because I haven't changed out the background from the Valentine's Day promo shoots we've been shooting.

At the entrance of the Sisko Museum in #StarfleetAcademy's "Series Acclimation Mil", it is stated: "Holo exhibit made possible by the generous gifts from Cabral and Asante Sisko". Cabral and Asante are the son and younger daughter of Avery Brooks.

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy is turning into the exact type of Star Trek that I was craving. The first 2 episodes established the world, the Big Bad, and basic structures. But episode 3 was chef's kiss. Certainly high stakes for the cadets, but a low stakes and joyful romp for those of us watching.

Discworld QOTD, from Jingo
It was because he wanted there to be conspirators. It was much better to imagine men in some smoky room somewhere, made mad and cynical by privilege and power, plotting over the brandy. You had to cling to this sort of image, because if you didn't then you might have to face the fact that bad things happened because ordinary people, the kind who brushed the dog and told their children bedtime stories, were capable of then going out and doing horrible things to other ordinary people. It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was Us, then what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

Leverage S05, E05 holds a place in my heart. I was a varsity cheerleader in highschool & even though my squad didn't do those insane competitions, it was still dangerous and I credit my coach with keeping us safe. It is unacceptable that cheerleading is not considered an actual sport.

I do joke that I say thank you to my smart home devices because of the "AI Apocolypse" but really, it's just my default for polite neutral, which is how I treat any stranger I would encounter out in public. I also FPS games like Halo. Murder the aliens? Excellent. COD, murder people? No thanks.

Had something similar happen in Mexico last year. Mum & I were at a crowded market & someone was setting off fireworks/noisemakers. I kept flinching & had my head on a swivel. An elderly man smiled & said "Calmete, calmete." My Spanish isn't good enough to explain why it stressed me out so much.

Watching season 3 of Reacher, which is all @kithrup.bsky.social's fault. I would say that Reacher is 5-10% attractive due to physicality. The rest of the attractiveness is due to Reacher's loyality, his intelligence, and his cleverness.

Well, as a cis woman of a Certain Age, I got my first mammogram. Lots of squashing & uncomfortable positions. But I was in & out in 12 minutes, so not too bad. I did ask the tech if the images would be available for me to view in MyChart & she looked at me like I was crazy. I want to see my insides!
