I won't even drink Starbucks coffee that's given to me for free, with the sole exception of a friend who works at the roasting plant occasionally getting me the 별다방 blend. Shit is nasty.

I have had "Don't You Forget (Reprise)" from #HazbinHotel season 2 stuck in my head since episode 4 came out. Vox's evangelical theme is a banger.

I am not Black. I will not presume to speak for Black people.
But I I do know a lot of Black ppl. None of them would delete via hanging. Not a single one. They have all stated such, numerous times over their lives. "If you find me hanging, it wasn't me that did it," is the most common sentiment.

I cannot limit this to a dozen, but I also cannot think of a dozen. There are bands who's entire discography I love, bands who I only like one song of but I LOVE that song, and bands that I flip-flop on.
But I do love music.

I tried to post a Warhammer fan theory thread on Twitter and it flagged it for use of the word "cis" as hate speech.
I cannot even.
Anyway, if anyone wants to read 12 dumb theories, I put it on Threads.

Since Twitter is insisting that cis is a slur and violates their hateful speech rhetoric, I'll just post my warhammer40k theories here. Copying from that thread that won't post.

Anyway, for posterity, the last four months have been awful. I'm just now able to relax. Ex diagnosed with fatal hypercapnia. Helping with hospice care and estate planning. Ex died. Helping with funeral. Quitting smoking in his honor. Daughter traumatized. Fun! Times!

Every now and then I remember I have a bluesky. I am trying so hard to remember.
If anyone wants to yell at me about it in the future, that would be great.

We default shows that we just run in the background when we can't focus on anything New: Family Guy, American Dad, Futurama, The Simpsons, Helluva Boss, things we've seen a lot.
Just hit the FG ep the salesman is pitching a tank sale and he says it's 30 tons of reinforced steel.

My ex-husband is in at-home hospice and we all got snowed in with him. His cousin from Phoenix came see him and had to change flights. She flew Spirit + Frontier because they're cheap, for a reason. If anyone is able to pitch in a few bucks, I'd appreciate it. She's super-sweet.

I keep forgetting I have this bad boy. But then again, I've been neglecting everything social lately because of the ex-husband hospice thing. I'm helping my daughter out for a lot of reasons, primarily because he and I have been more than cordial lately and because she needs a break now and then.

Raven is playing Helldivers 2. I can't. I just can't. This game is too much. I can't stop laughing. Yes, even over the sound of my granddaughter throwing up in the bathroom down the hall, and my ex-husband on a cpap in the room next to it, I can't stop laughing at this FUCKING GAME.

My ex-husband is getting released to hospice. He's dying.
My daughter is... Numb. I don't know what to do for her so I'm just taking care of the end-of-life stuff for Kenny.

So my first "real" bsky post is gonna be that Tom Baker's Doctor Who is super jarring for me. The eyes of a toddler, the face of a 30-year-old, the voice of a 65-year-old, all while wearing an outfit that only an 80-year-old veteran or a 19-year-old hipster in Portland would wear.
