Middle-aged geek. Queer as fuck. Jewish. Into music, sf/f/horror, and all things Arthurian. Overeducated. Will fight bigots. She/they.
Got my lip pierced two and a half weeks ago; going this weekend to get another so I have a spider bite.

Mom still hasn't said anything. Either her eyesight is worse than I thought or she's trying to wait me out. 😆

Dear @bsky.app : it would be very helpful if your system would send password reset links so they arrived *before* they expired!

I am trying to explain to them that I need to go to work and cannot call out because I’m unable to move. They seem unimpressed.

I live in a pretty solidly red area, and had shitty choices for everything, so I am just going to bask in NYC's glory for a bit. Congratulations, y'all!

“Just as long as the arctic stays cold.”

I really want a sequel to The Blob that brings it back due to global warming.

Trying to catch up this Halloween on some of the classic horror movies I've never seen. Currently watching Evil Dead.

This shit is NUTS. OMG.

My watch is telling me happy birthday, and every time I tap the message, it shows me balloons. It's a stupid but really fun little moment of zen! (It does fireworks on New Year's Eve, too.)

Well. Things are pretty bad for the current regime. Look who they've pissed off NOW. (Watch to the end, it's not just footage from Portland. Surprise musical guest!)

I made birria! It wasn't that hard, and I would totally do it again. Except I won't have to, because I now have three pounds of birria and I live with a vegan.

Also, I would only do it again if I can figure out how to sear the meat without smoking up the whole house and setting off the smoke alarm.

I want to watch horror movies! So far just about every one I've started, I've wanted to smack the protagonist before long. Sigh. Can we please have horror movies *without* uptight Christian people we're supposed to relate to?

So apparently my comfort movie is In the Mouth of Madness.

Yeah, IDEK.

My computer's been periodically losing wifi for weeks and everything else in the house has been fine, so I've been talking to tech support. I finally thought to reboot the modem - after which NOTHING connected.

So now they're sending me a new modem and I'll let the PC folks know if that helps.

My alarm went off, I started getting up, and the power went out. I waited ten minutes, reported it, then got on my phone to tell work. At which point it came back on. I think it’s messing with me.

Last week was chaotic so I didn't have time to properly celebrate. BAD HAND BOOKS will unleash the complete SEVEN book Shadow Saga. Even cooler? Sure, they can be bought separately, but you can SUBSCRIBE to the whole series directly from Bad Hand, and get signed book plates with each volume!

@neorsd.org, what address do we put in our GPS to get to the Clean Water Fest?

Was writing a class to demonstrate plagiarism checkers. Imagine my surprise when it told me my Master's thesis (from 96) was plagiarized because it was from an online "research" site of essays.

So, I filed a takedown request. Let's see if they pay attention. UGH.
