If you’re a user of Libby (the library app), consider before following their suggestion to type #inspireme into the search bar.

It seems harmless, but it turns on an unrequested AI feature, & there is no way to reverse that.

I hate this particular Allen wrench more than any other previously encountered in my life. It is small in a way that makes it pretty much usable only when the short end is inserted into the screw, but the real crime is how little definition is has. This is bent metal cylinder that only dreams […]

I randomly decided last night that I wanted chicken and dumplings this weekend. Got the ingredients this morning and the crockpot is cooking.

I've now gotten 7 of the 8 prints I bought from #pandorayoung's Etsy shop framed, and I'm just waiting for the replacement frame for the one that arrived broken to get here. Then I get to figure out how I'm going to arrange them on the wall. (I bought 3 during a sale back at the end of June […]

It amuses me that my randomizer over on @HourlyCQL.blorbo.social.ap.brid.gy posted these sequentially.

Decided to learn how to crochet. Not much luck so far in finding a way of holding the yarn that works for me. Probably just a practice thing, but quite annoying. 😅

Just got finished assembling the bed frame and mattress that arrived to replace the partially broken frame and mattress with escaping springs that I got to drag out to the curb to be picked up as part of the extra haul day tomorrow. 🎉 It's just a very basic metal platform frame and 5 inch […]

For #decrecs, I want to start off with a #podcast I'm enjoying: the Chinese Lore Podcast https://chineselore.com/ 📚 🎙️

Host John Zhu retells classic stories from #chineseliterature in English, and he's been doing it for ten years now! I've only been listening to his current, ongoing series […]

Treated myself to a new set of wireless #earbuds after losing half of my previous pair aaaages ago. (The single bud still functioned, but sometimes a person needs both ears blocked from outside sounds... 😔)

Went with a newer model from the same brand - so far very happy with them. 😊 (#tozo […]

I was wondering where my notifications went, and then I realized that the sticky notification for ntfy was no longer there in the notification shade. That app is the only way I've ever been able to get reliable notifications for Mastodon - push notifications through Android have never worked […]

The recurring quandary - I need to get up, but I'd have to move a sleeping cat to do so.

Thunder rumbling outside. 🥰

Crockpot spaghetti is on. I pretty much never have the spoons during the week to do a real meal (at best, I'll pull a frozen meat and possibly an accompanying veg from the freezer, season it, and chuck it on the air fryer) but I've managed multiple weekends in a row now of making a crockpot […]

Sitting here with my portable lap desk thing with the younger boy cat snuggled into my lap in the space under the desk, when the older boy cat decides he wants to be in there, and the younger boy has no choice but to either move or be squished. 🤣
