It is cool that the second the "common sense liberals" moved to bsky it turned into exactly what twitter was like five years ago. Jesus christ.
"Hi I don't know you but the very first thing I'm going to say to you is going to be so dickish I'd be swallowing my teeth if I said it to someone IRL!"

I know that this is probably considered the tiniest of problems given everything, but my god I miss being able to support Ukrainian artists. I have always felt like some of the most beautiful art the world had to offer was created by Ukrainian artisans.
Just one of a thousand thousand atrocities.

I walked in the door and she immediately said "Oh Jesus Christ, you made yourself sound like a mutant on the phone, I thought this would be a job that'd feed me for a month and you're giving me 5 hours of work tops"

Meeting with a sewist tomorrow to alter my Avatar concert outfit to fit me better! She's going to try to make the trousers fit my stupid Pixar Mom hips, and if she can't she's going to cannibalize the fabric of this pair to make tails for my vest while I wait for a larger pair to get here. Win/win~

I was expecting an angry tirade to sound even more stern and severe in German (like getting yelled at by my 3rd grade teacher, augh) but with g translate it's just more polite with more punctuation. Next time I'm going to ask one of y'all German-speaking moots to help me sound as angry as I intend.

I woke up from a dream that someone in Sweden with an interest in epilepsy research offered to sponsor us to immigrate there if I agreed to participate in medical trials. All medications covered. Nope, still trapped in this hellhole. Just been crying in bed for an hour.

There is very little more insidious than a Nordic vegan chef telling you that you should really buy his delicious blood orange flavored hot sauce because it's totally fine everything's gonna be fine it'll be FINE

Spent days agonizing over an outfit that'd be very Papa IV coded, looking forward to appearing more androgynous, and after it arrived and I tried it on I just look like a stern widow about to scold one of the peculiar orphaned waifs who lives in my very peculiar creaky old house

I was leaving my usual angry voicemails for my congresspeople, and my dog ripped the nastiest fart I've ever smelled right in front of me, so my voicemail to Steny Hoyer ends with "Oh Jesus Christ Lady what the fuck"

The NP I see to help manage my PCOD said "You've lost enough weight that you look like you're sick, congrats, doctors will take you seriously now."
She gets it.
For reference, I'm 193lb. I'm just built like a freight train so this weight makes me look ill. And that was, unfortunately, the goal. :(

It's troubling to see "analysis" channels consistently approach films at surface level. The latest target is Labyrinth, a fairy tale that tells us repeatedly, in the script & ON THE MOVIE POSTER, that "nothing is what it seems."
Lack of media literacy means people miss so much of what film offers.

I am so glad that Tarsem Singh's "The Fall" is streaming and on blu ray so people no longer have to buy used DVDs for $300.
It'll shatter your heart and give it back to you more beautiful than before.

A video for my non-US mutuals I've made recently who are under the impression that we aren't taking to the streets in large numbers.
We are.
Please, make sure this isn't being suppressed by your own countries' media. They WANT you to think we are complacent.
Don't abandon us. Please.

As someone who went to school to be a chaplain, left because of the festering stench of mid-00s American Christianity, has remained attached to and focused on religions, and is now a cunning-person, ...

Remember it's all about fun!
Example: Try teaching yourself to fry scream, be delighted when you nail it the first time, then spend a week nursing a burst capillary in your eye.
Then go look for actual lessons with your tail between your legs.
Nobody's respecting that, lol. BUT IT'S STILL FUN

Pro Tip: When you’re first trying to do music, it’s really easy to get caught up in feeling this need to have people you respect like what you’re doing.
The only person who needs to like what you’re doing is you, Period. If you like what you do in are passionate about it, people will find you 👩🎤✨

Considering writing a piece about how Avatar's latest album is, start to finish, about the fears that are part of life, and how we deal with them - or choose not to.
"Dead And Gone And Back Again" seems very clearly about how unaddressed PTSD can become a malignancy.

Trying to focus on one thing, because I can physically feel how low my seizure threshold is
I think this weekend I'm going to lop off a chunk of soapstone and continue rebuilding my fine motor skills. I want to gift Johannes a tagua scrimshaw, but tagua is so tedious to prepare I'd rather use rock.

Just carrying on sending emails and filling out forms in preparation for our trip to Glasgow to see Avatar at the Barrowland, fully aware that we might not even be allowed to fly over there by February, also knowing that our flights, hotel, and my meet-and-greet ticket are all non-refundable
a cartoon dog is sitting at a table with a cup of coffee and says " this is fine " .

I'm pretty much avoiding Online because stress has put my seizure threshold somewhere in hell.
But let me tell you: If you talk about how "Americans" are "lower than dogs" or need to be "hated with all your heart," I don't care how good your art is, you're going to alienate a lot of your followers.

Well, after a month of searching, I have not successfully found a sewist to help me realize my dreams of how I shall meet Avatar in February.
And so, I will be having a tailor adjust some clothing that I shrunk out of over the last year, and then ... oh, then shall the glue gun have its night.

It's kind of unforgivable for any sound system of any kind released post-1995 to not have at minimum 5-band EQ built in, but damn it's good to have a speaker for my office that's got good thumpin built in and decent treble that doesn't get too tinny
