she/her. Just some white lady. Writer, curious person, artist, bad coder, avid reader, extremely eclectic interests. Science and curiosity journalist. Co-organizer of Queer Games Bundle. I love books, #whoNamedIt, math, astrology for fun (#aetaDays), mythologies, space, animals, cooking, and helping with things because I'm a big dork.

Please don't reply-guy me. Assume I know things unless I ask. I'll make it weird.

I'm listening to an otherwise fine book where the main character has had relationships with men and women but conclusively rules someone else out if the mystery when she sees she dated a woman -- she couldn't possibly be jealous of a man, she likes women! This potent mix of biphobia and bad story management is hurting me personally

question for people outside the u.s. (or people here who've lived elsewhere!):

do you have a version of instant jello (jelly? gelatin dessert? haha), and/or instant pudding or custard made by adding milk? or anything else similar?

my local mexican supermarket has a brand with flavors like horchata and mango, and i just put some coconut jello (with frozen fruit!) into the fridge.

@KissAnne @RandyNose that's so cool, thank you for sharing! i think i may have @'d you before to say the only finnish word i know (kissa! cat!), from a friend long ago and her very finnish mom (from michigan here in the u.s.)

eugene levy also visited for his travel show! he was with farmers in the rural north and it was beautiful. i'm from the rural u.s. but finland puts any other "rural" to shame!

Thanks to @outie suggestion, I have green herbal German jello to try soon. I'm excited (sincerely)!

Fediverse, I have a slightly unusual request for you. Can you recommend me video games where the main setting is a library, where the main character is a librarian or where the plot revolve heavily around libraries in some way?
Thank you.

@Sylvhem people suggesting "book of hours" are leaving out that the creator is a sex pest

Cooking and caring about what I cook is one of my primary ways of distressing, and caring for myself. When I don’t do that, or when I have meals which are too ‘hurried’(in both prep, as well as eating of), I get very distressed very quickly.

So I am always trying to do the most laborious thing I can when I cook not just because I get to geek out on techniques, skills, also to get interesting flavors out of my food

being from a country that's 31 miles at its widest, it'll never not surprise me that i can get in a vehicle and go many hours in one direction and still be in the same country

@skinnylatte i've lived in the midwestern u.s. all my life, and have the opposite surreal feeling. like people in europe can get on a train and ride for 2 hours and pass through multiple countries haha

I keep seeing people I like on here posting and needing to add big disclaimers that you shouldn't shame them for using Google services. Jesus, my Gmail account is 20 years old, of course I don't want to change it. And the alternatives people suggest for other services are almost always clunkier and/or more technical. That decision absolutely isn't easy at all. If you're shaming people over this stuff, shut the fuck up.

aetataureate,

Here's an evergreen reminder that people asking for help using a service aren't inviting you to tell them they should be using something else. For whatever reason.

And in further cat news: Woke up this morning at six because drinking water is a scam, walked past the cat tree, did a double take, and then went to get my phone for some bad photos of this dual nap situation.

i'm overall okay, but i've been having a tough time lately. the kind of thing where you look back and are like "oh yeah okay. i've been struggling to do things, sleeping poorly, etc." and the thing with the admin over the weekend exacerbated it all so i'm having a Struggle One today. just trying to relax, while also being . . . so tired i can't sleep. i love my large adult human body. also trying to get more steps intentionally and throughout the day. if you're having a hard day, i see you.
