Can confirm. He smells delicious.
A box from Le Labo containing five parfum samples, including Another 13 which Paul Mescal (and now me) thinks smells delicious

I meant to review Boots. Had plenty of time until my work/mental health/family health imploded. I haven't finished it and it's a bit more silly and camp than I expected but if you want a story about being a closeted gay in a boot camp before (i believe) DADT, what I've seen so far is fun.
Poster for Boots showcasing some moments from the show and a October 9th release date on Netflix Main closeted character getting uncomfortably shaved by a grumpy shirtless grunt using a straight edge knife Same grumpy guy eyeing our hero with three homophobia blaring large in his eyes

One thing I have been doing for self care is play Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. I stayed away from the first one because the fanbase seemed toxic and "anti-woke" but those same fans were pissed when the new game let's you mack on your fellow male friend. So I decided to try and I'm obsessed.

Going into a furlough just when I spent an ungodly amount of money to fix my car sure helped (/s) the mental health.

Anyway if you are wondering where I've been or why episodes haven't posted. Well I'm not in a great mindset right now between this and severe family/parents issues and my own personal health issues.

My check was missing ~1/3rd of my pay and it's going to make things tight. I'm privileged because I've lived through one of these that destroyed me so I started prepping since January. But most people can't afford losing 33% of their pay and then possibly not get any pay the following pay period

Heartless. Callous. Cowardly.

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

Next week is when it's going to hurt for the military. The following week will be very painful for 700,000 civilian employees. On top of the utter disdain this administration has for its civil service and the RIF plans.

I'm at the stage of furlough where I don't really know what day or date it is. I would normally be planning for this long holiday weekend, but I literally forgot I should have a normal holiday Monday if the people running this government ever really governed. It's meaningless now.

We're back on our BS! This time we're tackling the spawn of the Davids!

Listen to see how much I misunderstood what Boxing Helena was about before watching it. 😅

Heated Rivalry had BETTER come to the states. I need my gay hockey romance.

Not me ordering a Le Labo discovery set to find out what scent Paul Mescal is in love with.

Oh hell no! There's no way I could do that without that. I can't imagine!! 😨 I used that and the quick silk regen one and the one that gives more natural silk. And I kept going back to the worms to regain silk/heal. Took it really slow with plenty of pauses to wipe sweat from my hands 😅

Oh wait the tool? I had the clingy tool to hold onto the wall without moving
gaylydreadful.bsky.social
I'm not sure I know what that is?
gaylydreadful.bsky.social
Really it boiled down to me being too stubborn to leave 🤣 I ended up having to play it on my TV with the Pro controller and a cat who sensed my anxiety and sat on me until I completed it. It was a whole thing lol. I never did the Path of Pain in Hollow Knight so I have no comparison but damn

I also (barely) defeated this fastidious queen. A delightfully melodramatic actor. I love his dramatic death scenes.

I climbed to the surface in Silksong today. It took me more attempts and hours than I care to admit. But we got there. Whew.

I have somehow stumbled into barnacletok and I'm obsessed with these fucked up little critters. It actually has given me a piece of a screenwriting puzzle I've been nibbling on in my head.
