I love data/tech, the outdoors, music, geeky stuff (including but not limited to sci fi, fantasy, DnD, Broadway), and nerding out about interesting and esoteric topics. Confusing expectations since the early 80s.

📷 Layla responded to a SIT command today—the first time—and remained sitting long enough (about 2.7 seconds) to snap a picture.

Hey Fedi-friends, I need your creativity! I am making a gift for a friend and I need a word that starts with “p” and means awesome person. Something along the lines of badass or ninja, but starting with a p. Whatcha got?

(The idea is a mug with the acronym of a professional certification she is about to earn, but with the last letter changed - think Certified Widget Designer Badass if the acronym were CWDB)

Everyone congratulate me for not smacking all of my relatives when they didn’t even try the damn apple pie I baked. It was an effing good pie too. Luckily partner is a major apple pie fan (I mainly make it for him anyway) and I noticed that there is only one slice left now. 🤣

One of the thing I’ve learned about the consequences of bullying is that when people tell you things like “I’m pretty bad at math” or “computers aren’t for me” or “I don’t really get art or fashion” and you talk to them for a bit what you often find - not always, but often - what that really means is “somebody treated me like shit for trying to like this when I was 9.”

Cara,
@Cara@beige.party avatar

@mhoye Damn this hits. “I’m just not very good at math.” Gee, could that have anything to do with the student teacher who announced as though it were fact that “boys are good at math and girls are good at English?” Or maybe the insipid timed math contests they made us do where you “failed” if you couldn’t do the problems fast enough? “I’m not good at singing” after my sister told me I was tone deaf as a kid purely to get me to stop singing because she was annoyed. Ugh. Taken decades to unlearn that shit.

I recently started trying to keep plants alive and I didn't realize that eventually I'd have to punish the plants by hacking off the parts that were growing too well. What kind of sick hobby is this

Cara,
@Cara@beige.party avatar

@ElleGray Immediately thought of how the demon Crowley gets his plants to grow in Good Omens 😂

Crowley from Good Omens shouting at plants “grow better!”

Woke up before everyone so I’m taking a minute to sit in the quiet in my favorite room with some hot chocolate

Do you have little self tests to tell when you’re really sick instead of just kind of hoping you are? Mine is that when I’m actually sick I don’t want coffee.

I’ve been denying that I’m still sick today because I really wanted to go out with a friend tonight. But I failed the coffee test, so I’m trading margaritas and queso for bed and tea. 🤒😕 🛌 ☕️

I would ask myself why I stayed up so late last night, but I think I have already well established that I make questionable life choices 😂

Dear Santa,

I've been involuntarily good this year.

May I have a unicorn?

Love,

@LikeItOrLumpIt A unicorn seems both exciting and practical. Think of the gas savings! 🌈 🦄

Artist: Rina Sawayama (she/her)

Why? Rina Sawayama has a unique presence in contemporary pop music. Her introspective and intimate lyrics paired expertly with melody, a voice that sits differently than many other singers, and a powerful vulnerability. As a Japanese British artist and pan sapphic woman, she brings a unique perspective through her music that I know captivates me.

Where to start?

Her 2021 performance of her single, “Chosen Family,” with Sir Elton John is moving and perfect. The fact that Elton plays to her lyrics and composition wholeheartedly is beautiful and speaks to the talent he sees in this young queer artist. There is no better ode to the beauty of chosen family that defines queer life.

As men age they become Santas, Grandpas, Hobos, Cowboys, or John Waters. Which one(s) are you?
