Finally finished replacing the belt on the snow blower & put it into storage. We should be safe from snow for at least five years now that it's functional. 🙃

A child's drawing of a woman with short hair and glasses, with a round face.

I feel like Niblet really captured something with the portrait she did of me. I'm not sure what it is, but it sure is something. 🤣

At this point it wouldn't surprise me.

screen capture saying: 'holders to charge the purchase of goods and services to multiple funds and Orcs, and will help to reduce the time spent on the"

Although the live captions provided by my browser have added some levity to my day. Instead of funds and orgs, we now apparently have funds and Orcs. Clearly I need to brush up on my Tolkien.

It would be really fucking nice if mandatory training videos had fucking captions. I'm pretty sure this happened on this same training last year, so clearly no one listens to the disability office. 😒

What just about every day of 2026 feels like.

I hate that you had to deal with that, because that blows. 😑 While want to believe that at some point they'll address Robby's misogyny on the show, I doubt they will. I really wonder if the writers realize they're doing it, or if it's just background noise/status quo in their minds.

I'm wearing my first codebreaker scarf today; the varying lengths of the eyelet rows are a coded quote: "It is not your duty to finish the work, but not are you free to abandon it."

I'm auctioning off a custom scarf with your choice of message coded into it.

I love how a) mom forgot it's my birthday tomorrow, and b) she and my sister are quibbling over who is making the cake for this weekend. Clearly neither want to do it. So touching. Much love. Jfc.

Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.

It's so great and not at all problematic!

Far Side cartoon showing a liner with a party taking place on board sailing towards some floating mines and a small boat apparently manned by pirates with a machine gun. There is a warship in the distance. It’s dated 12/6/87 and captioned “Through a gross navigational error, the Love Boat steams into the Strait of Hormuz”

Unexpected bit of pop culture prescience…

How does anyone not want a cryptid friend?? Think of the hijinks that would ensue!

Is it bad that I feel accomplished for remembering something re: work from a year ago? Objectively, maybe. But my brain has been so fucking useless lately that I'm a little bit over the moon that I was able to pull that up from the depths. Still have a 6 month blank spot in there but it's progress!

I am already hydrating and adding extra magnesium in preparation for the migraine that this insane weather pattern will be gifting to me. 😒

Such a Jack thought, tbh.

Attention to Detail: I can spot a non-approved shade of beige from three streets away. Time Management: I have the time. So much time. Time to notice things. Time to document things. Time to send friendly reminder emails at 6:47am. Passion: While others see "a slightly overgrown hedge," I see chaos. Where they see "kids' chalk on a driveway," I see the beginning of a societal collapse. Communication Skills: I'm not afraid of difficult conversations, like explaining why you garden gnome violates (for example) Section 7, Paragraph 3, Subsection B of our covenant. My Vision: Together, we can create a neighborhood where every mailbox is regulation- complaint, window fixtures are uniform and not paper, every trash can is hidden by Tuesday and Friday evenings, fences are not falling over, and where the phrase "but it's my property" is met with a knowing chuckle and a citation. I may not have actual HOA board experience, but I have something better: opinions and the free time to enforce them to make our community great again. Vote for me because someone needs to care, and that someone is me! Seriously though, we live in a wonderful community, and I am committed to keeping it that way. I look forward to collaborating with the board and our residents to address current challenges thoughtfully, ensuring our shared standards are met so that our neighborhood continues to flourish.

I hate living in a place with an HOA, and ours has been especially nit-picky this past year. Board elections are soon, and while I'd love to see it go up in flames, I do appreciate this person throwing their hat into the ring. 😆

Nah - GoldenBoy

Now is probably not the time to tell you I'm sitting outside while working, is it? (don't worry, it'll be back in the 20s - 40s next week)

Shout out to all the shitposters still shitposting through the horrors.

ok the wild thing is, to the extent Schumer had any strategy at all, it was "sit back and let trump screw up until everyone hates him," but no, democrats dead set on swooping in and rescuing him from the consequences of his actions

Therapy is awful and I hate it. 😒

A grassy yard, with long ditch dug out (bad!) and the saucer section of the NCC-1701-D placed to replicate the crash landing from Star Trek: Generations. Top center in the back is a mural of a deer overlooking the yard. Yes, it's super cool.

The ditch-digging culprit after the fact!!! Archer the dog (wearing her dapper black-and-white checkered bowtie.

Archer will not stop digging up this spot in our backyard, so I decided to turn it into a win-win. #StarTrek #Generations

Maybe it means everything will unfuck itself? Ha ha ha 😭

Lasagne is assembled, bread is out of the oven, chicken has been sliced, so now it just needs to be closer to dinner time. In the meantime it is porch sitting weather, so I'll be in my rocking chair, resting my tired tootsies.

If I get to it, there will also be oatmeal choc. chip cookies, but I'm running out of steam. 😆
