Quilting, jewelry, maker-of-things. She/her. Disabled but only on the inside. Intent on polluting the shades of Pemberly.
I don’t know how many ways I can tell ya’ll that I’m not a writer. Seriously. I wish I were.
Boar’s Head, again. I guess their advertising blitz extolling family and tradition after the last horrifying recall didn’t , you know, actually improve product safety.
Not only is food more expensive, it is much more likely to make you sick and harm you, or give your baby botulism

@ryandeem.bsky.social I blame you for this post. I don’t know why.
Did you know? Black Friday is named in honor of Rebecca Black, who invented Friday in 2011.

Yes, even if it’s a member of the Trump administration.

have to admit that talking to any of the AI fetishists reminds me of that feeling in the folk horror movie when you realise that behind the smiles, the villagers are members of a cult planning to sacrifice you to their bloodthirsty deity (either you give up your body to house the god or wicker man)
Andy the cyber god is going to torture a simacrulum of you eternally in the future if you dont get better at defending his ascension

you have to get better at explaining why the data centers that only make life worse for everyone are good Andy

otherwise the Basilisk's going to get you

MAKING THINGS IS NOT INEXPENSIVE AND OFTEN REQUIRES ADVANCED SKILLS.
Yes, absolutely, make things. But it’s not your fault if the “it’s so easy” project is a fucking disaster.
I really like how all the financial advice lately is simultaneously "you're about to be broke as hell so maybe you should make your holiday gifts" and "you stupid assholes are ruining the economy by not buying things you don't need"
stupid young people, stop buying a new phone every year if you don't want to be broke. wait no, not like that.

Me and my siblings still talk about the time my mom exploded a few hundred chestnuts and coated the ceiling and walls with nut meat, and that happened 50 years ago. Instructions be damned, that woman is always game to fuck something up. 😁

A package hasn't "shipped" if you've only "created the label"

How sad. The funniest conversations I’ve been a part of have sprung from a “stupid question”. You want stories of cooking disasters? Ask a “stupid question”! We’ve all been there! Some of us more than once!!
This is so soulless, I can't stand it. We have BRAINS. We can USE THEM.

The cat who died (but got better) thought I hadn't spent enough money, so finishing up an emergency vet appointment to be diagnosed with "very swollen lip, probably was doing something he shouldn't have"

One of my favorite things is getting to tell friends who are new to NYC that the subway "stand clear of the closing doors please" voice is a trans woman named Bernie Wagenblast and she's amazing.

You cannot respect artists at a fundamental level and steal their work.

Sorry, but that's why we hate AI.

Those who pride themselves on being “brutally honest” all the time are more concerned with being brutal than being honest. They only ever say negative things.

They never say, “I just have to be brutally honest - your hair looks amazing”

I don’t think I have any rustic pottery, but I do have pieces of shattered china for crafts, and an oddly robust collection of Crystal serving ware for someone who doesn’t Entertain. 🤔
Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Hey, does anyone know if I clicked the electric blanket on?

(Yes. Obviously I did. My tiny croissant is all uncurled!!)

Just saw a reel from a southern white guy that said you weren't masculine if you drank anything other than black coffee and I would kindly ask if we could STOP MAKING ARBITRARY SHIT UP TO FUCK UP OUR BOYS.

Saw the second part of Wicked. Bring tissues, unless you’re a fucking monster.

I'm sorry, but this the freezer of a serial killer
Also, tired of freezer jenga? Freeze anything liquidish flat on a baking sheet, then you can file it. Pasta sauce, soups, chili, etc. This is ~10L of pasta sauce.

Unless you mean “her retirement”, in which case I guess we pay for that.

The thing is that it's also ahistorical. Unless something has gone really really wrong, birthing people have always been accompanied by someone who understood how birth happens. Because death. Death is a thing.
