Was discussing @seananmcguire.bsky.social’s InCryptid worldbuilding with the partner today, specifically routewitches, while at lunch. Concluded that routewitches probably prefer conveyer belt sushi to regular restaurant sushi.

I made my first baked potato in about six or seven years tonight. I chanted “potato potato potato” while I cut it open and added butter, salt, and pepper. Reader, it was the best fucking baked potato. Twelve of ten stars. No notes.

I stay sitting for “Proud to be an American” and “Grand Old Flag” and “My Country ‘Tis of Thee,” too. Miss me with the blind nationalism of standing for every cringey patriotic song.

Immigrants make the US great. That’s not just spouting platitudes; the US would be a fucking weak broth without the richness that immigrants suffuse into the melting pot. We are made better every time we welcome a different perspective of the world. The rhetoric that claims otherwise is abhorrent.

Your local elections, while not as Big Newsworthy, are your chance to make changes on political levels you (1) can actually change and influence with your singular vote and (2) have arguably more concrete effect on your daily life. Don’t pass on the opportunity.

I don’t get to finish my own projects very often, so even though this baby Maypole was a quick make, it felt very gratifying. #quiltsky

This is it. This is my favorite gachapan machine in all of Japan.

A Japanese random capsule vending machine. The picture is of the backside of an intact male white and gray tabby cat. The options on offer are fluffy pairs of pompoms in black, white, brown, tan, and gray. It is meant to look like the testicles of a cat. The Japanese text reads “the part of the cat” and “nyanta mascot”

Battle doomscrolling by posting five small pleasures in life: 1. External affirmation that you are good at the things you like to do 2. The first bite of a food you’ve been craving 3. Clean pajamas and clean sheets after a long day 4. Cat purrs 5. The tingles from a good scalp massage

Hi friends! Things are really tight. I had to graduate from a manual chair with power assist to a fully powered chair due to my illness, which means my beloved Colours chair needs to find a new home. It’s powered by the Yamaha NaviOne system, which is fabulous. Please share.

Find me in the alt text

Alt text: A video game–style scene with cartoon characters standing in a reddish-brown outdoor area with tall grass and wooden buildings in the background. A purple figure faces a mushroom-like character with a red-and-white striped cap. A large white speech bubble above them reads: “This ultra violent country demands that we mourn the very people who want us dead.”

Commentary: In America, the rituals around violence are almost liturgical. We are told who to grieve, when to stand in silence, when to drape ourselves in flags. These ceremonies of mourning are not for us—they are for power. They demand that we shed tears for the very institutions and people who have inflicted harm, while silencing the grief we carry for our own dead.

This is not empathy—it is control. It is the choreography of gaslighting at a national scale, where violence is recast as honour, where those killed by the state are forgotten, and where those who wield that violence are sanctified. The epic manipulation is not only in the blood spilled, but in the stories told about it afterward.

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

Hi there! It’s late and I’m bored so I’d like to contribute to normalizing the notion that women *can also* contribute to the “not pulling their weight” component of failed relationships.

I don’t often get pedantic about spelling anymore (I was raised a grammar cop and I have spent years breaking this generational habit), but we have to talk. Pidgin is a simplified language developed by two or more people who don’t share a native language. A pigeon is a bird. Pidgey is a Pokémon.

I’m a sex-repulsed ace that tends to skip the sex scenes unless I’m in a Very Specific Brainspace. That’s okay and legit! It’s ALSO okay and legit for explicit sex scenes to exist for people who aren’t me! Especially if there’s some kind of indication that they’re present in whag im about to read!

Sometimes I take time to marvel in the fact that society has advanced past our physiological ability to keep up via socially integral means so we are required to supplement our physical activity based on how much like an ape we behave in order to maintain basic physiological functions (aka exercise)

I was 12 and coming up with my first D&D character’s name. I had just learned my parents had almost named me Alexandria. Xaandria felt more fantasy-ish and it’s stuck with me through the years. No relation to the awesome band Xandria, which I didn’t discover until last year.
