I make bracelets; I cosplay; I play video games.
Mostly here for news that's not about USA because I don't live there.

I barely slept last night and I never got my nap today. It's still windy out, so I don't think I'll sleep much tonight.

My family thinks the red stripe around my kitchen is stupid. And the black walls and floors in the living room. Then they also made fun of me for the purple bathroom. And red trim in the guest room.
You can't win, so ignore them.

This is the best best best fact I've learned all month and I watched a LOT of videos about dinosaurs and European royalty.
It's staggering.

An autistic woman has reported a perplexing phenomenon whereby, regardless of venue or cuisine, upon entering a café and waiting to be seated she will always be led to the table closest to amplified sound.
Uncanny! Autistic woman at every café somehow always seated under speaker

I have the lamest thing ever, everyone.
I've been playing Sims 2 for nearly 20 years, with the same save files since 2007. Today I bring you prosperity-style Pleasantview, where some beloved playables now have great-grandchildren.

I wish I could get my hands on this specific variety 😤 most poppy seeds available here are California
Poppy is linked to gods of sleep (and death) like the twins Hypnus and Thanatos. It was also a component of “dwale” if mixed with vinegar. A sleep inducing recipe from the 12th century. The Middle English word (pronounced dwahluh) comes from Old Norse “dwol” meaning sleep or trance #FolkyFriday 🌱

The wind kept me awake all night. The yard is probably a wreck of neighbourhood detritus.
But for the next few hours I'm going to try to sleep.

Things are gonna flood. It's pouring rain. It's so loud. It's pelting the widows and roaring on the roof. The wind is howling.
I love it, but it's unnerving.

He yelled "bye guys love you!" as he bolted so at least we felt good about it

You should know I don't let a moment to shit on AI go by.
Somebody asked Grok "is this incident real?" and it concluded "yes, the core details of the incident...are true". Its sources? The tweet I linked, and a "news article"...
But the article is AI written and just regurgitates the thread!

I don't think it's normal to have a swirling pressure drop over north Lake Michigan
What happens if the pressure continues to lower? What's an inland hurricane called? Is that possible?
Anyway, super windy here in Niagara from the winds forming this thing.

Headache still. Except the pressure headache has gone directly into the menstrual one.
We're at a week now. I'll wait till next week before I think more about going to the doctor's cause I have to make sure all other causes are gone.

On day three of this headache
Starting to worry there's something serious going on, but also realizing I'm in PMS and barometric pressure is still up... Both of which cause nasty headaches for me.
Two days ago it felt like my eyes would vibrate back into my head. Now I just feel like I hit.

In some neighbourhoods this helps a lot. For instance, my neighbour has seen people lick my chimney and walk up to my car windows.
I used to nightly, for a year, chase a crackhead out of my driveway.
Construction workers drove across my driveway to access another property.

Probably the worst of them all is the Ring doorbell.
It’s sold as safety, but it’s much more about fear and paranoia in a box that turns you against your community. The more of them in the world, the worse our neighborhoods get. Don’t help the spiral continue.
