My cats watch me march in circles around the living room at quarter to midnight trying to squeeze another 800 steps in before the day ends and just *know* that they are the superior species.

It’s the end of the semester and I realize I haven’t attended one of my classes even once. Or, I’m at work and realize I’ve double booked a spot and two students have shown up at the same time.

rb with your most common recurring theme in your nightmares. mine is pregnancy

This, but in Utah it’s snow. “Oh no it’s snowing nooo.” We live in a high desert. That is where your summer water supply is coming from. That is what happens at high elevations. And that is what fuels our winter recreation economy. Take your snow woes to someone else. I’m busy building a snowman.

that said you will not hear me complaining about the rain here ever. i love it so much and whenever people are like “ugh i mostly love it here but the rain 😩 if it rained less it would be perfect” i’m like not to be blunt but you sought work in a rainforest and then saved up money to move to a rainforest and then you looked for apartments in a rainforest and then you put down a $3,500 deposit in a rainforest and then you drove 1500 miles to get to the rainforest. and yeah it’s raining. if it rained less it would be an ecological disaster in fact

I just can’t believe none of it mattered. None of the good, none of the bad.

…I… have many questions about this rhythm dance

I’m a SUCKER for green and pink forest fairy type costumes, and I’m thrilled Isabeau (who’s costume game has been kind of poor for me up to this point) has joined this group.

More examples. I’m a SUCKER for it I tell you.

Isabeau's new FS dress is sooo pretty 🥺💞 ♡

That commercial where the voice over talks about his daughter using AI to write a letter to her favorite athlete is bleak, man. On so many levels.

Matt’s socks match Marisha’s dress and that’s goals tbh.

writing dialogue for Astarion in like a normal text editor is very difficult actually because it feels like all his dialogue should be created with WordArt

Is being conscious of the fact that you can’t hear or see well when in dreams true for everyone? I’ll have a dream where otherwise I’m fully invested and unaware I’m dreaming, but say throughout “hmm I’m not seeing well” or “sorry I can’t hear you well.” And I assume it’s “me” recognizing that things aren’t sharply defined since it’s not real, but have also wondered if it’s “me” somehow realizing my glasses aren’t on my real body, or that my earplugs are.

That first one worked great. We should have just stuck with that.

Finished my The Mighty Nein themed dice travel trunk. My Cricut cut the stickers with the precision of a drunk grizzly bear trying to peel open a vehicle for a box of tictacs, so not sure what that’s about.

My 1st Baldur’s Gate 3 character: half Drow Ranger, never misses, good with animals and people

My 2nd: Tiefling cleric, wisdom out the ears, healer, therapist, friend to all

My 3rd: half elf sorcerer, can’t roll above a 10 to save her life, once accidentally turned herself into a sheep in the middle of battle

No thoughts, just Satoko vibes.

Apple put out that horrendous ad where they crush the instruments of art and culture and failed to read the room entirely, when what SHOULD have been the commercial is exactly what happened last night, where we all stood outside with friends and neighbors looking at the heightened colors of the sky through our phone lens which allowed us to see what the naked eye struggled to in places.

UPDATE:

I failed.

One day, Elliot and Sebastian, we will know love. But old habits die hard and Shane sadsacked his way back into my heart.

I planned to go for Sebastian or Elliot this time, but my familiar sad-sack chicken-aficionado grumpy man keeps sending me pizza in the mail.

Took a quiz some friends on bluesky are passing around to see my personal dnd party stats. I’m the party member who dies first. Hell, I’m not even in the party. I’m the npc with one line who dies to indicate something is going on but then the party doesn’t notice for three more sessions. In totally related news I’ve decided to exercise and read a book tomorrow.
