Halloween Craft Night at Eris Brewery in Chicago! As you can see I went off script from the examples on the table - I couldn’t help myself LOL 😂

I knew I needed to go make needle felted bats like immediately when I saw the post.

Video update from Meag - chemo is working… but it’s caused hair loss (she was able to cold cap until now and keep her hair).

Do they know there’s a whole genre of p0rn where you fuck the pumpkin? So is that what’s getting *done* right this time?

Also, I’m only sort of sorry if you didn’t know that fun fact… I learned about that against my will on Twitter a few years back. 🤷‍♀️ - it’s 2025 & everything exists on the internet

How does one opt their partner into this program, hypothetically … just totally asking for a friend.

*Obviously this is a joke.

Sometimes you have to remind yourself (and others) that strangers will steps up and help if you ask. Because we’re all each other has in this shitty, dumpster fire world.

PS, Meag does need gas money. That’s definitely the last thing she should be crying about.

www.venmo.com/u/BabeGangPa...
Recap: Meag is an awesome human 💖 (Message from me, showing payment sent) Me: Enjoy! From Meag: I can't believe you did that. Thank you so much, been crying most of the morning wondering how I'm going to just get gas for my four appointments next week. But I'm getting the ps5. You are a saint. Meag: You are seriously amazing, thank you for helping me. Truly l've felt so alone these last few weeks and you just pile drived me with human kindness. I wish I could hug you! Me: Sometimes life just sucks but there are good people out there

Thanks everyone! In less than 12 hrs we raised more than enough for her to bring some joy into her life during treatments.

Meag commutes from West Mass to Boston regularly for appts so if you want to send gas money (or for milkshakes), here’s the direct Venmo link:

I transferred the funds to Meag this morning!

I would love to surprise this sweet friend of mine with a PS5 - she’s been fighting breast cancer for about a year and had been doing well then a couple weeks ago found out it back track, spread and is in her brain.

So back to chemo and radiation and more drugs.
There is a beautiful autumn breeze, and I feel like I can do things. Tiny victories are still victories, and I will celebrate every single one of them. October 1, 2025 at 7:40 PM How I am feeling: I am angry that I am back to doing chemo. I do not know what I need. However I do know I do not need unsolicited advice about what I should be doing, eating, or feeling. I do not need socks, coloring books, knick knacks, blankets, or anything that says fuck cancer. Showers exhaust me, and the steroids make me a ball of rage. I oscillate wildly through my emotions, I feel like a mean drunk and often feel embarrassed that it's so difficult to feel at home in my body right now. I don't know when I will see you, 1 am too focused on killing cancer. (Ending edited for privacy) Lastly if you really truly want to get me something, get me a PS5- it's all I want and I think that GTA would really help make chemo go smoothly.

Parker, just trying to watch the Bears game: …

Me: The Lions ✨costumes✨ would be way better if the white or silver was sparkly or metallic fabric.

We’re watching Legion, the Marvel FX show that aired from 2017 to 2019, for the first time and *clearly* the new iPhone 17 pro color pallet is inspired by Season 1 Episode 6 🤣

"It is literally a before and after for me. I would not have the community that I have now, the partner I have now or the life that I have now without camp."

-Jaime Gullotti, with @campcamp.com

www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/fa...
"It is literally a before and after for me," Gullotti says. "I would not have the community that I have now, the partner I have now or the life that I have now without camp." For Jaime Gullotti, the week away couldn't have come at a better time. "I was going through an ugly divorce, and my parents were like, 'You need to go do something new,'" the 43-year-old office manager from New Hampshire tells Yahoo. Gullotti was intrigued by an ad she saw on social media for "Camp" Camp, a summer camp for LGBTQ adults in Maine. She had relished her childhood summers at sleepaway camp and was curious about how the experience would translate into adulthood. So in 2014, she packed her trunk and headed north. Turns out, camp was just as good as she remembered. yahoo! life Adults of all ages are paying $1,000-plus to play like kids at summer camp again — and they say it's worth it

It’s always:

“which one of you is the muscular extrovert (butch) and which one is the demure introvert (femme)”

And not “which one of you is the hot dog and which one of you is the hamburger”

*Note: he was wagging his tail ~just~ before this and of course he stopped when I started filming.

Also, we call his starting pose his “bad taxidermy” pose. IYKYK. lol.
