In the background of every photo in my house you’ll almost always see a spray bottle. I live with five dogs. The cleaning never ends. 🧽

I’ve been slacking off in my pet content the last few weeks.
Three dogs on a free couch: two akbash rescue dogs and an Anatolian shepherd. The Akbash puppy closest to the camera has her chin resting on the keyboard of a laptop that’s facing her like she’s working.

If you’re waiting on a mug, it’s probably going to ship Tuesday. I’m so wiped.

The antibiotics the doctor gave me yesterday helped a bit. My lymph nodes are still super swollen though.

I’m sure they finished filming long before June, but studios are fully capable of ditching completed movies for a tax break.

Same thing happened to me. Huge bummer.

I don’t normally have strong feelings about actors, but this isn’t something I can ignore.
From Wikipedia: 

In June 2025, Leto was accused of sexual misconduct by at least nine women in events dating as far back as 2006. Representatives for Leto have expressly denied the allegations. 1551

I love anything Tron. Even the bad stuff. But that’s not enough to convince me to pay cash money to watch Jared Leto.

‘TRON: ARES’ has earned $14.3M in its opening day at the domestic box office.

For comparison, ‘MORBIUS’ opened to $17.3M.

My dad has been suffering his own losses – mom’s dementia, cancer, fire — the past 3yrs, but he’s also been a great support as I’ve been at my lowest. Last night we talked abt what I’ve learned: don’t “pay forward” any labor, don’t ever trust administrators, prestige is empty, you are expendable

every single tech idea is like “soon our robots will be capable of playing catch with your kid, freeing you up to spend more time working on your employers’ spreadsheets”

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).
Someone's screenshot of a two-post twitter thread, from user blue (@bluewmist):

the fastest way to kill motivation is to make your identity depend on the outcome. it's called ego involvement. when failing becomes failing as a person, your brain starts avoiding the whole thing. not because you don't care, but because you care too much.

you don't need lower standards. you need less self-worth tangled up in your goals. the work gets easier when it's not about proving who you are.

Wow I’m in a lot of pain this sucks.

I just hate having to get an appointment and go to the doctor’s office

I took a Covid test and that’s not it.
