Once again, I'm asking...please CW your political, climate change, murder posts. I just want, like, an hour a day where I can come here and relax and NOT think about that shit.
Yes, it's correct and accurate and pointed and very important. I know.
I'm turning off boosts, 1st offense, to protect my mental health, but it's a bummer to have to do.

Eldest is frustrated with the automated replies he gets from his reps.

I told him they do a for/against tally, so it does still matter, but it is really disheartening for people trying to be heard and make change with their electeds.

Just got a pop-up banner on my gmail asking if I'd like safer email. Is this the fox asking the hen if he can guard her eggs? Wtf. Google sells ALL my data. foh

MYSTERY SOLVED!

huh. So, I tried holding my pencil the way the pros do (which I'd resisted because it looked pretentious), and lo and behold! -- it works REALLY well. Who knew? lol

I think I might get Stardew Valley for the Deck and start a new game. I've been tempted to start over for a while, and the new updates and content coming seem like a great reason. #videogames

Is there a way to mute notifications on a specific post of your own?

spatial stuff mostly eludes me, but wouldn't a tower suck for bookshelves? Like, if you curved the shelves, the books wouldn't fit right, would they?

Ostracized Greeks?

Today's project! It's not perfect? but I'm happy with it. It looks SO pretty. :)

Back of Steam Deck with floral vinyl skin applied. The flowers are large and comic-booky looking in orange, cream-yellow, and pinks.

It's a very special feeling when you make a movie ref in a chat and you are SO OLD that no one gets the reference. special like grave dust.

Speaking of toilet tabs...that's the last of the box I bought. I like them, but not enough to purchase again.

1. they are expensive for how many tabs you get.
2. the tabs aren't stable. The box is full of powder from tabs no longer in tab form.

I'm ordering eco-friendly sheets next to try.

What does this even mean? Aren't all tornadoes violent? I've never heard of a peaceful tornado.
