Okay, my follower count and mix on here is now such that I need to say this:
If you know me in real life, no you don't.
If you saw me at a place I can routinely be found, no you didn't.
Thank you for understanding.

I've been trying to shift Amazon out of my life, and I'm somewhat distressed to find that it has mostly made me more dependant on Walmart.
But I do live in a rural area and am too disabled to run around in a dozen different stores, so maybe this is a me problem.

Dreamed that Mamdani implemented a program for sex workers that involved expediting disability applications for those who need it and guaranteed late-shift shelf-stocking jobs for everyone else. His public statement was "Sex work is fine but, like, you shouldn't have to do it if you don't want to."

Google suddenly cannot verify that I'm an adult, so it's threatening to turn off all the things I turned off voluntarily.

I feel like I've hardly been able to finish reading a book all year, between migraine and brain fog, but for whatever reason, I started re-reading the Hogfather and suddenly it's easy again.

Bought a solstice tree at the grocery store today, which was convenient and a nice Charlie Brown size. I'm not sure why they felt the need to paint it with "snow," but it'll do.

The masked burglar broke into the closed Virginia liquor store early on Saturday and hit the bottom shelf. The bandit was something of a nocturnal menace: bottles were smashed and alcohol pooled on the floor.
The suspect acted like an animal because, in fact, he's a raccoon.

There is not supposed to be a day 31.
But this is an edit year, and there's book left, so I'm going to go until there isn't book left.

I changed my meds in the hope that I could be less dopey in the morning.
So far, what is happening instead is a dramatic failure to go the fuck to sleep in the first place.

My comrades and I will take 1000 tickets for the Phil Ochs biopic, please.
One of my crackpot theories is that music biopics work best with moderately famous musicians.
e.g., I'd way rather watch a biopic of Bob Seger than Bob Dylan.

I was pleasantly surprised when furries started coming back around as a subculture. People don't understand that most furries are smart, queer, and politically educated. The number of purple foxes who work at NASA may surprise you. It's definitely gonna surprise this Republican.
""I'd heard of furries, but to be honest, I didn't think they were real. Then one filed to run against me for Congress," stated the email. "Samuel Smeltzer, whose furry name is Elyon Badger, announced he's running against me, in costume, on a far left progressive platform.""

I have a story about this story.
In my teen scene, there was a guy named Bobby Hackney. The scene was so small, and he was so good, he was in multiple bands. I went to one show where he was in *every* band.
I knew my punk history. But I did not realize at the time that he was Bobby Hackney...Jr.

54 years ago
A band called 'Death' was punk before punk was punk
Formed in November 1971 by the 3 Hackney brothers, they were influential pioneers of the genre and, along with Pure Hell, the first all-black proto-punk/punk band.

I sincerely hope that this is one in a string of heists in secret preparation for a wild annual Theives' Gala held in an abandoned church.

NaNoWriMo day 26.
Apparently, while writing this particular chapter, I was obsessed with the word "shiny." Everything is shiny.
Everything needs to stop being shiny. Get dull and be damned.

O and I had a conversation about Inspector Gadget.
He did the Dr. Claw voice, trying to say "Don't judge a book by its cover," which somehow devolved into him doing the Batman voice and "You know what they say: Don't read a book."

The Salvation Army bell ringers are out. I thought this year instead of just ignoring them (rude) I would print out a little card outlining my issues with the organization.
I started by copying and pasting the wikipedia "controversies" section.
IT IS SIX PAGES LONG.

I have participated in the creeping menace that is "Black Friday" sales.
I left some jeans in my cart for a month to see if it would go on sale for the holidays. They did, and I bought them. I feel kinda gross about it. But in my defense, it was the only way I could afford 97% denim.
