Hiya BlueSky 👋
I’m not very good at introductions/first posts (or social media in general), so my Meet the Artist page seems like as good of a beginning here as any ✨

@thenightgallery.bsky.social Haven’t seen you post this here or on Twitter/X yet, so just in case: We’ve got 4th of July Marathons on the schedule for both H&I and Syfy this year!
And as is my new habit for the Marathons I compiled both onto a spreadsheet! ✨: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

I emerge from the depths to say:
The phone you ordered with should not have to physically be with you to pick up online food orders.
This is prejudice against the tech illiterate that need someone else tech savvy to order on their behalf.

If you are spending lots of time reading or engaging with content that makes you feel worse but you can't seem to stop, please get help. You need support to build coping skills, and there are lots of people trying to exploit anyone who doesn't have those online.

Periodic reminder that over 90% of cats are not a "breed". The vast majority of longhaired tabbies are not Maine Coons. Most grey cats are not Russian Blues. Most black cats are not Bombays. They're just lovely, perfect mixed breed cats that come in all colors and coat lengths!

Kinda funny to think about Chobits in 2025. We did ultimately move in the direction of tech replacing face to face human interactions and human jobs, but not because we made humanoid robot replacement people. Instead we made our tech small and as non-human as possible, just rectangles.

I have now finished the series and stand by my original assessment.
It’s not a “bad” series, it just failed to captive *me personally.*
There’s some good stuff in there (I LOVE Jamie!) but Is like the series a lot more if it could’ve somehow been condensed into like 1/2 the length it is.

So on between the everything else I’ve been reading* the Mara Dyer series.
I’m almost to the end of Book 2 now & I can honestly say I have never read another series that I thought was so infuriating but also want so badly to finish.

For the record I don’t think video essays are bad or you shouldn’t watch. Just know there is insensitive to follow the video-community’s agreed upon opinion because there’s financial gain. Just let the perspective help inform, but don’t let it dictate. It’s important to feel things yourself in life.

So I had to clean/organize a pile of stuff earlier today and found a spool of embroidery floss in it that I’d sorta forgotten about. I think it might be just the thing I need to make Enid a crochet beret more to my liking.
Don’t know if I’ll get to it tonight, but we’ll see. 👀
