I did get frames for the other two, but don't have a better pic. Pavement is on the right and Iggy Pop as He-man is on the far wall. Iggy is especially popular, lol.

A livingroom and dining room with teal and blue walls. A Pavement print is on one wall and an Iggy Pop as He-man is on another.

Yeah, I'm guzzling the full strength neocitron. It helps for a few hours of sleep, at any rate.

Thank you, and you too!

But then you try to sleep and you end up coughing.

It does. I haven't had much sleep.

I'm staying in bed today because once i am up for longer than 30 mins, I want to fall asleep.

I am well and truly sick and I am a whiny baby about it.

I hate colds. You simultaneously feel alright and miserable at the same time.

I use Libre Office, which is the updated and supported version of Open Office.

Free, open source, and more features.

It's 2:30 am, I have awoken, and I am hungry.

Thanks. /Sigh

I was looking forward to it! But when you have elderly family members, and members with auto-immune disease... Can't risk it.

Thanks. At least I hadn't done the grocery shopping yet.

Victoria Rogers 🪴 @mimimerlot.bsky.social · 1d

I've been determined to think this was allergies.

But no. No, it's a cold. And I am supposed to be hosting Thanksgiving on Sunday for two families.

/sigh

Now I need to send out all the messages and say, "Yo. I can't host, nor attend. I'm sick. So sorry."

(The secret to writing a solid paper, it turns out, is to model them after Cicero's defense speeches and rhetoric theory. As, every time.)

Victoria Rogers 🪴 @mimimerlot.bsky.social · 1d

Lololol

I studied classics with a minor in English literature (early modern and rhetoric). I had papers due nearly every week. Every single one of them were written in beer and coffee fueled late night binges the night before. A and A+, the lot of them.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

It was part of the end of the year recap thing, Steam Replay.

If you search, you'll find a lot of reddit posts and screenshots and things.

Steam reported that the median user plays four games a year.

Victoria Rogers 🪴 @mimimerlot.bsky.social · 2d

It's like when you learn that the average steam user only has four games in their library.

I'm honestly pretty surprised that the Unity security fiasco this week wasn't bigger news.

Looking for a #dnd or #pathfinder short adventure for 3-5 players that gives the GM a chance to do some character creation and for everyone to get to play at level 20 w/out years of canceled sessions and mismatched schedules to get a proper campaign there?

Paragon Advancement Services: or a Not-Level-20 campaign by wingedlioness

A short adventure built for laughs and scratching the D&D or Pathfinder level 20 itch.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

The Verge @theverge.com · May 26

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

It's definitely got my attention! lol what a premise.

I will say: I don't do podcasts anymore, now that I'm no longer a podcaster myself. I will not listen to another podcast for the rest of my life, most likely. I burned out. Can't do it.

Oh, I'm limited to what is available on Hoopla, my library's digital provider.

AUDIOBOOK REC REQUEST

I finished a 1940s WWII spy romance series & am looking for another series to listen to. It needs to be historical from 1900-1950, needs to have a femme protagonist, & needs to include murder and/or intrigue. Romance is nice, but not looking for spicy. More cozy than thriller.
