What fresh new hell is this?

Hey, folks! Have you filled your pill minders for the week ahead? Requested refills of low meds? Given your dog tummy rubs and ear scratches? Made a sacrifice to our lord dog almighty, howled be her name?

Haha I just remembered that was her Vogue performance. And I can’t remember Like A Virgin because I was a toddler. My huge bad.

That was the one with the dresses, right?

I also remember Pepsi dropping her Like a Prayer ad (IIrc, it was a Super Bowl ad?) after the music video.

When you put that way…

A blonde and a similar-looking blonde have beef. The beef is they are the same person from different, parallel universes. 🤯

Can we make “potatoing” a thing?

In a sentence:

Harley and I are potatoing on the couch today.

Definition: being a couch potato

I can't believe I actually have to say this, but apparently I do: someone who is buying compromised Bluesky accounts from an account reseller marketplace is directly funding identity theft, fraud, and international crime. #BadActorBingo resurrection for an explainer of why:

Like maybe it just seems like extra work to you and who cares because they got paid but it matters. Its manners and class and Lots of the creative people you assume are financially stable are NOT. Don't add to their work being devalued AGAIN

This isn’t even paying artists in exposure *jazz hands*

You can't just wholesale show their entire work uncredited and then be like "like and subscribe and pay me" it's so nasty!

My tabby cat Klaus and my long-haired brown and white cat Violet on top of my couch looking out my front window

What's going on out there

Violet looks like Someone stole her seat.

All 3am calls are emergencies, especially the booty ones.

I’m always tempted to reply to SPAM texts.

“U free?”

Nah man, I’m way outta your price range.

Old phone, who dis?

You can take my life, but you can never take my freedom.

Yes, but the Y and O are triple-rate.

I pay in experience and exposure.

I wore white shorts recently and had concerns (checked seat before &after getting up!), but not flashbacks. People, this is huuuuge! 30 years later and finally no flashbacks to various middle school white pants accidents!

become moss > touch grass

And alt-text

Well this is unfortunate. An account calling itself "NASA | ESA Space Updates" (@nasaupdates.bsky.social), not apparently affiliated w/ either, has been posting NASA images without alt-text & blocked me when I said the images should include it. (NASA itself is usually pretty good on accessibility.)

Have you read the new Kaleidotrope?

LOL! I have used the audiobooks for comfort listens. Which makes me a weirdo. The narrator’s voice is relaxing to me 🤷‍♀️

The Gunrunner Princess books by @kbwagers.com are very not romance. CW: there’s definitely trauma in many ways, not gratuitous, ymmv.

I understand folks who are frustrated with space priorities right now in this dark & horrible time, but I also think it is hard for a lot of us not to be overcome by a bunch of truly earnest joyful nerds loving learning & discovery in an era so hostile to all earnestness, joy, learning & discovery.

NBD

lol okay now what would you do if you were a senator

Happy Zombie Jesus Day to those that celebrate (or observe Zombie Appreciation Day).

The author of The Vampire Diaries was very done with these stories (except in her imagination, maybe. There’s beef btwn LJ Smith and Everyone Else). The extra books that came out after the show’s success were ghost written for Alloy, according to the author.

if you need any help, please hesitate to reach out.
