I saw someone else post a screenshot of the bad place and they all think they’re shadowbanned. Lol. No, we just don’t like you here.

They can’t help but make their first post a “kick me” sign on themselves. Or all the bots using the same 3 images.

Hey, would ya look at that. I feel better after more than 100 empty calories and a monster today. I even had real vegetables.
Still can’t do my laundry like I meticulously planned everything around, and I’m still in pain, but I feel less bitchy about it 🤷🏻‍♀️

Everything happened in town today from like 6am to noon. Including my roommate and her animals losing their minds loudly and intermittently, so I could not go back to sleep after waking up at 1:30am because MY animal was loudly losing his mind.
I can’t have nice things.

Why use AI when you can literally use the public domain image library and it’s way cooler?

I just saw these cute ornaments with quotes in them, and one said, “Pillow your bites.”

No, it didn’t. My brain did that speed read thing again. It said, “Follow your bliss.”

Kind of the same thing though. IYKYK

I think it's officially close enough to Samhain that we can have some blessing candles & tarot cards for the season!

Let me know if you'd like a blessing and/or a card(s) & drop a tip at Venmo or PayPal (user surliertexan). Feel free to elaborate here or dms on what you'd like &I'll get on it!

A small tealight candle burns on a wooden board. Behind it, a small piece of piñon wood, grapes, and the nine of coins tarot card sit.

Ok. So today was actually like I just never played any of these games before in my life 🤷🏻‍♀️

Mama Sand @mamasand.bsky.social · 18h

I just tried to play the numbers games and my brain was absolutely not computing. I’m normally much better at them than the word games and now my life feels like a lie!

Not to mention the active disinformation.

Mama Sand @mamasand.bsky.social · 1d

I simply don’t have that kind of bandwidth. I blockety-block-blocked all that business.

I didn’t think the thing to get my panties in a bunch first while coming off these meds was going to be my Waterloo not tasting like anything. But here we are.

(It’s the raspberry nectarine, btw. Just straight soda water with some cut to the bitterness. No aftertaste other than bitter.)

Hell yeah!

Hey, artists of #art Bluesky, I have a question. What is the best online storefront for selling not only prints of your work but also original pieces?

Mama Sand @mamasand.bsky.social · 2d

If it’s not on a banned list we haven’t done a good enough job.

I should do craft night in 20 min. I but I honestly want to rot in bed after this day. Hectic. Overstimulated. Physically ill. Pretty sure I can color over zoom with someone some other time…

Mama Sand @mamasand.bsky.social · 2d

I’m so sorry you’re having a hard time. I hope you feel better soon.
