yeah, yeah, we all knew it was just a matter of time. how many potatoes do you know, anyway?

if this could be a locked account it would be. i'm gonna pretend it is, mostly.

same as i ever was.
hey, i know that what with the loss of locked accounts, everyone's been missing the updates about how things are going with my parents, but just fyi, they sent me some money for christmas, which is still not a thing i really do but was nice of them. they deposited it in my us bank acct. ok!

so i'm thinking about getting a new desk chair, because this one sucks ass and the uppy-downy mechanism—what is this called?—is dying, and i'm so so so happy to report that i've just had a very important reminder of why 'black or dark grey' is an absolute requirement for a desk chair 💀🩸🙃

so earlier today we had a gas-and-electric inspection, which rentals are meant to have every <2 years, apparently, and the gas guy came through and was like 'uh. you have a gas leak.' and then he looked at the gas connection and was like 'uh. does it always. dangle. like that.'

so i bought an end-of-year present to myself—to get through the end of the year; you understand—and it's legally mandated that they be covered in horrifying photos, but! local potato has one weird trick the government doesn't want you to know about: just like. so much washi tape.

so i don't write much, and when i do, it's usually in text files or whatever, and when i'm in word/docs/etc, i have spell check disabled because fuck u, you know?

but. my hands are bad lately, so i've had it on, and wow, i had Not realised how far my personal dialect had slipped out of plumb.

just fucking kidding!! the fucking database has already corrupted again! you may or may not have access while i get things fixed! i may or may not cry!

i may, if i am honest, accept that *once again* i need to just rebuild the whole fucking database and then set an automatic backup 💀💀💀
hey, pals, if you usually have access to my media server and didn't get it back after it fell over the other day, it should be remedied now? if it's not, please drop me a line (anywhere but here, please) and lmk so i can fix it 💕

sometimes i think it would be neat if, at some point, doing or wanting things just because i feel like it could stop feeling like a sin or a crime or some sort of obscene self indulgence

is it like this for everyone?

i was going to stop liveblogging my day, but a *completely different* part of the kitchen is now covered in ants, and i am reduced to starting in horror
October 24, 2024 at 3:38 AM
also, i *did* get out of bed, then remembered the ants, and have now gotten back into bed, where i will remain for... at least several more minutes, mentally rewriting holding out for a hero to holding out for a bobcat.

i got my allotment of sleep before i called my mother (with bonus appearance from my father) today, but am somehow so wiped out by that conversation that 45 minutes later, I'm not only still in bed, but may have a nap
October 24, 2024 at 1:52 AM
i am pretending, in slightly more public places, to be very brave about this, but the kitchen (block windows with gaps to outside, failing stumps letting the floor sinking leading to 2cm gap between wall and floor, etc) is once again full of ants, and i am—you saw this coming—very upset about it

i've given up and made a fandom bsky acct and followed several of you. you'll likely recognise it.

if for some reason you want this information and do not find that it simply appears in you notifications, hit me via dm of some sort

relevant to almost no one, but these have shown up at my supermarket of late

on one hand: i fucking hate oreos (stop booing me; i'm right)
on the other hand: if i do not try these i will die

every single week i check if they're in stock for delivery and they never are 😭

i keep discovering that people who i had assumed were Markedly Older than i am because they seem like, you know, *adulty* adults, are in fact fairly close in age to me.

it's starting to make me feel like maybe i stunted my own growth at some point and now i'm just desperately immature

ok, but it must be asked:

whomst amongst us is thinking after doing yuletide
October 4, 2024 at 5:31 PM
my mother in law, with whom i have a…difficult relationship… is fully eating popcorn about the us elections, and intermittently emailing me about her thoughts on the subject. i am working so, so hard to have Reasonable Conversations about this, but also: [unhinges jaw; screams]
October 4, 2024 at 7:21 AM
i've been largely absent of late for [i'm fine], BUT i have returned in no small part because i woke up this morning and abruptly remembered that there is NEW BULLSHIT from my father, and i was so taken aback by it at the time that i forgot to say anything.
September 30, 2024 at 4:55 AM
i sort of wish there were more positions available, jobsearch wise, that were not either 'leverage [bullshit machines] to generate great content!' or 'help spread information and understanding at the national centre for action about [bad thing that has affected me, personally and specifically]'
September 25, 2024 at 5:19 AM
ok well. it's taken me like…let's say close to two weeks to figure this out. but! the reason i am having such a hard time eating—as in conveying food to my mouth—lately is because the middle finger of my left hand is fucked up, and you're not going to _believe_ what i need in order to use cutlery
