Sure, Gayle.
My horoscope from Co-Star today says to “Dwell on the beauty of life. Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.”

My Finnish Airbnb has a painting of Solas in it.
The painting really looks like Solas from Dragon Age. He looks haughty and perturbed.

This comment on Speed Dating for Ghosts’ itch page is why I make things
A photo of a stick and poke tattoo that says There Is More with the caption: when I first played this game, I was in a really bad spot mentally, I picked up this game, expecting it to be some poorly written game that took up space on my switch. Instead I was met with a deeply emotional journey about life after death. This tattoo is part of a quote from Hattie. When she tells Milton "there is so much more, my love" I decided I wanted that as a tattoo, a reminder that there is so much more beyond this. Truly, an amazing game

Update: Never lose hope, friends. There is always a way.

And always check under your oven if you have a cat and lose something.

When I saw my 72-year-old mom today, she was excited to tell me about a movie she watched last night.

“It was pretty good. Maybe you’ve seen it. It’s called Pearl!”

Now I just got this text.
The text from my mom says: “Watched x, enjoyed it ! Did you know Mia Goth also played the old woman in that ?”

How do I explain to my therapist that l stayed up late using a thermal sticker printer I got off Temu (I know; never again) to label my SD consoles on two A/V switchers connected to my beloved Sony Trinitron KV-36FV27, a CRTV lovingly known as "The Beast" in some collector circles?
Pretty sure making these violates some kinda copyright
