November 24, 2025 at 6:43 PM
ive been making a rug lmao its pretty fun! hubris says i should buy an advanced cowboy rug but logic says… this is almost a month of on/off work
November 24, 2025 at 6:42 PM
as an aside i guess. a lot of really bad things have happened in my life the past few months. a good chunk of good ones as well, but i definitely am glad i wasnt here on bluesky while they happened because i do Not want those crashouts to be as public as they definitely were to everyone offline

yall gotta stop posting about attending protests ESPECIALLY when there are other peoples unmasked faces in photos you post. its already known that ICE is monitoring bsky. staying safe isnt just about at the protest, its about everything after too.

top 5 things said to my dog today:

- you are not a qualified gallbladder surgeon

- you arent allowed on the couch because you are an unclaimed dependent and use of the couch is a tax deductible benefit

- the economy will do better when you get a job

- this is why you failed the LSAT

*explaining to my son my idea of having a giant dog rescue where all the dogs are trained to sniff out various diseases and you can pay $100 to walk through and have a dog diagnose you by scent*

my son: you could call it “plague dogters”

me: I have given birth to a genius

This just in - we're getting reports that Big Balls has sprayed chrome paint into his mouth, screamed, "WITNESS ME!" and is now driving a VW Beetle covered in spikes in the direction of Pennsylvania Avenue. More as the story develops.
