Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

I will also take Back to the Future, 10 Things I Hate About You, A Goofy Movie or Romy and Michele's High School Reunion if Ferris isn't available.

Ohhhh okay I'll try that

Bake/Buy your favourite cookies and set them across the room from your writing set up. Have 1 cookie every time you finish a chapter.

You can fix it when it exists. Be terrible, eat cookies, get better.

That's a great reusable background. I will use it well!

There's also a thing where there's no good resolution and it's going to continue and bother me and there's no fix but I really want to fix it and can't. Plus everything you said.

But you're right. Nothing is happening right now. Right now is winding down and relaxing and bed.

Ooh thank you! I love it.

But a person who is twelve right now is coming in with a lot of different priors than we came in with, and will stumble over stuff we didn't see. And we cannot regain our golden age, we can never be twelve again.

When we read things when we were twelve, our personal golden age, we didn't see a lot of the implications of the stuff we read. This is fine. We were twelve.

Come on brain, no, we're not doing this. We're not remembering people being shitty to us and getting worked up over it on a Sunday night. It's anxiety for the week ahead misdirected because being angry is easier. Stop it.

Wow. Be gentle with yourself today. Lots of big feelings associated with that date.

Australian Cattle Dog close up being petted by a human hand. This mightystickbug and distaff's dog Kalanthe.

Kalanthe is a mabari. Anyone who's played Dragon Age knows all too well what a headache that means along with the good stuff. Complete boofhead.

@ekjohnston.bsky.social @distaff.bsky.social ohhhhh Duncan's voice actor was Master Splinter in the 80s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Yeah I just got it. All these years later.

There's another potential title. Thank you 😁

❤️❤️❤️

Thank you! 8 is a lot!

Anyway, happy anniversary @distaff.bsky.social. Getting to spend every day with you is the best and so are you. ❤️

We workshopped some songs and how we would stage Harold disappearing into a Soviet submarine if that's the theory we went with. Also it might be set at the pool named after poor, drowned Harold with flashbacks because his actual time as PM (1966-67) was pretty dull.

So @distaff and I celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary today with dinner at Pappa Flock, home of the chicken tender, and brainstorming the particulars of a musical about Harold Holt, the Aussie PM went missing while swimmming in the ocean. Working titles:
Harold!
We Named a Pool After Him
Holt!

Well deserved to be in that company. It's a book that really packs a punch. 🎉

Haven't read Stargate fic in 15 years. But dang, nice rec.

Back in my day computer games and video games were different things.

I am here to support you through your spite embroidery journey.

What happens when you piss off your trading partners: the asshole tax.

NHL hockey has not been very fun this year between the Canucks fucking up with Hughes and then tanking, and then whatever bullshit the Red Wings brought with them after the Olympic break. Way to be utterly mediocre, guys.

I needed to re-read that rewiring blog post today, thank you.

Rough result but glad to see him getting right in there

One thing that happened a LOT in the US that I've started seeing here is taking phone calls in public on speakerphone. Waiting in line, at restaurants, public transport, while shopping. Then they turn it up when they can't hear it properly and shout into the mic to reply. NO. BAD. NO.

The Third Period Comeback, Aug 11, 2026.

Hockey.
Family.
Necromancy.

You poor thing, that's awful and horribly unfair.
