Took a phone detox break last week and quit both pokemon and fb. Both were becoming such huge time-sucks. i think it’s gonna stick this time!

Besides, my drum has arrived and i should be practicing - June is soon!!
New shiny metal dobra drum from GOPE, with a pair of mallets resting on top. The mallets have blue heads and handles, and are wrapped in Fogo Azul stickers and tied with orange Bonfim ribbons. A red shoulder bag full of other drummer essentials (such as hearing protection and snacks) is in the foreground.

The AUDACITY of this squirrel today i stg. This morning i found this pot dug up, so i refilled the dirt & added some forks to discourage digging. She CAME BACK to dig it up again this afternoon! Basically, she told me & my forks to FLUFF OFF

SquirrelGrrl, my pots are not your stash box, STAAHHP
A terracotta planter filled with soil, except for a hole dug by a small mammal. One silver plastic fork with tines pointed upwards remains standing in the dirt, but 3 other forks and a popsicle stick plant marker were knocked over by the hole-digger.

Another week, another couple hundred spent anywhere but #Target

And don’t think i forgot about #CVS either — all the $$ i used to spend at CVS and Target now gets spent at #Costco

I was able to resist buying these giant pikachus… good thing they didn’t have giant bulbasaurs 💚

Happy International Women’s Day and Women’s March weekend!

Gender freedom is a human right. Women define who we are, regardless of socially-constructed gender expectations.

We are entitled to equal human and civil rights, not limited on the basis of sex or gender.

Bread for all, and Roses, too
Vintage black and white drawing depicting an Early Modern Europe punishment of burning women at the stake for heresy, used during the witch hunt panic that took place between the 15th -17th centuries. Two women tied to the stake, surrounded with bundles of sticks, about to be set on fire. There is a church steeple visible in the background. The woman on the left side of the stake asks: “What are you in for?” The women on the right side responds: “He asked me, ‘What defines a woman?’ I said, ‘Not you’” Sign from Womens March is Asbury Park, NJ in 2017. The sky is cloudy and gray. The border of the sign is colorful tie-dye swirls, the sign itself has colorful gems scattered around colorful text, and included a peace sign icon. Text of the sign is: Women’s Rights are Human Rights! #NeverMyPresident Sign from Women’s March in Asbury Park, NJ in 2017. The background of the sign is a vertical, glitterfied version of the simplified Gilbert Baker pride flag with red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple stripes. There is text glued on in white block letters with black drop-shadow. The text of the side says: United We Stand

Was stoopid excited to find my fav Deadspin writer on here a few weeks ago. He posted a link to this cookie recipe, so i made it for queerCraftySpace this week. Plus a non-spicy choco-espresso cookie (for balance)

Spotted my first 2 “Hate has no Home Here” signs on my drive today. Thank you to Mayor Kramer, Asm. Danielsen, and Councilmember @edpotosnak.bsky.social for brightening up our roadways and showing support for our LGBTQ+ friends and neighbors. Proud of my town 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Happy Gotcha Day to this handsome dragon, GoGo!

Thanks for always being there to climb the walls during my conference calls and for eating all your greens like a good boy. Can’t wait for the weather to warm up so we can go outside for walkies and other adventures.

Got myself all in a twist last week over perceived disrespect. I need to work on that. Yeah, these silly men might be acting up, but i can’t allow myself to react bluntly. They’re likely just empty boats. Whether it was intentional or innocent, I need to respond strategically else i end up in a trap

I left the faith years ago, but this monologue from Dogma has been popping up in my head lately:
“When you’re a kid, you never question the whole faith thing. Nope. God’s in Heaven, and He’s…She’s…always got Her eye on you. I would give anything to feel that way again.”
Gif of a screencap from the movie Dogma, main character Bethany (woman with long brown hair) is in the dining car of a train talking about losing her faith in God and states “I’d give anything to feel that way again.”

Didn’t really wanna hang out in this panera today. 12 weeks ago, a third of my dept was cut without notice. Although i was ooo (infusion and breast biopsy follow up), i had to jump on a call at noon, hear the news, then attempt to calm my team. Fridays have been frightening ever since …
Screenshot of a text conversation between a scared full-stack dev and their manager moments after a same-day emergency all-hands meeting was scheduled for noon on a Friday. Dev: “Hi (managerName replaced by spider emoji) Is everything ok? Sorry I’m just so scared right now What’s happening” Mgr: “Hi (devName replaced by cat emoji), i just got out of my doctor appointment. I’m catching up. Whats up? I guess we’ll find out in this mandatory meeting” De: “Hopefully something not serious” During the meeting, staff was told their jobs were safe. One third of the department was not invited to that call - they had been term’d that morning.

My life’s been such a perpetual emergency for the past few years, i have to save up for a few months to afford paying the euthanasia/cremation bill to bring my tiny best friend home. Cuz i spend all my money on drugs and copays and out of network bills. Such small pains cut so deep.

How do you ration a medication when you can’t cut the pills in half?

Thanks to #CVS ineptitude and the “fun” of pre-auth, i’m fucked. I won’t even hear back from my insurance until maybe Wednesday.

At least i won’t die right away, like folks do without their insulin, asthma inhaler, epipen, etc.
