Gender is a performance and I started crying backstage

Oh yeah I never posted, we got a kitten! Samhain and Beltane get along swimmingly and are birds of a feather.

A mistake on humanity's part

8:00- I make closing announcement, woman asks if they can have a few more minutes. I reaffirm that We Are Closed. She yells for her partner and screams "they don't want our money!" While pitching a fit about me all the way out the door.

7:59- another couple comes in, let them know we close in one minute. They ask about comic books, I tell them where they can find them.

Ari @itsanari.bsky.social · Jul 6

7:57- couple comes in, let them know we're closing in 3 minutes. They look at books by the register.
7:58- another couple comes in, let them know we close in 2 minutes. They ask if the café is open- i let them know no. Guy pitches a fit about it, and both couples leave.

Man the last 5 minutes of last night were a shitshow.
7:55- someone calls, asking about a book- I let him know I'd check if he didn't mind a quick hold. He said go for it, I find where the book is.
7:56- return to counter with book, reach to phone- he's hung up. Never called back.

Desperately need to reread what I've got of Tombstoker so far so I remember what's been said and done and what needs to happen next but damn im moderately cringing.
I'm not allowed to restart again I just need to power through *then* go do edits.

Nice thing about the nonbinary pride pin I wear is folks who would give me grief over it have no idea what it is, and folks who do know compliment me.
Also folks who would give me grief are too distracted by my afab mustache and apologize for calling me sir
Naw you got it right, & ma'am works too.

Petty level: coworker I don't like said don't read The Color of Magic first so I'm gonna read The Color of Magic first (and not just because it's the one that was gifted to me first)

The answer was we barely had enough energy for groceries, man do I hate food poisoning.

Assuming I'm not sicker than a dog tomorrow too I think it's a mustache and dress day

Fwiw the gesture and dislike were well deserved.

Remembering my high school ex renamed the training program for the robotics club after my father (who he did not like) because the robot was dumb (so as to help teach programming), and I wonder if a group of teens are still calling that thing sTuPiD kArL

#makeaterriblecomicday2025 out of context d&d (with context in alt text)

All panels are in a black and white sketch style.
Panel 1: a half orc sits next to and examines a dead man in a 'dead Peter Griffin' pose, with a satyr standing to the right of the half orc. A campfire burns to the left, and the half orc says, "... We should get helmets."
Panel 2: closer view of the satyr, asking "... why?"
Panel 3: reverse shot of the half orc, pointing to the dead man (who has a censor bar over his head, hiding a gunshot wound). The half orc replies with 2 words, fully serious: "coward weapon."
Panel 4: return shot to the satyr, who has his hands pressed together in front of his mouth with eyes closed as he reconsiders his traveling companion choices because Oh My God, She's Referred To Firearms Exclusively As Coward Weapons And A Helmet Won't Save You Babygirl. In the background, a faun (another party member) wheezes with laughter.

Z: ... is it Frank Welker?
A: it's Frank Welker-
Z: -i knew it, I thought 'it's Frank Welker, actually no- I always guess Frank there's no way,' but here we are!

In our defense. One was the first at-home release edition on VHS, another has the Angela Lansbury documentary, another was the DVD I grew up with and can't part with, and then we needed it on blu-ray obviously.

Ari @itsanari.bsky.social · Jun 4

Zach and I are finally going through and making a list of all the physical media we have for VHS, DVD, and Blu-Ray.
Why yes, those are my four emotional support copies of Wizard of Oz, thank you for noticing.
