I've been enjoying the new planet Pheanna, in #FFXIV. The low-key crafting vibe is soothing and doesn't require too much of my over-taxed brain...

I'm wearing one of my favorite necklaces today because, given the bullshit going on in this country and my state (FL), I really feel I must.

I can't believe we as a country have devolved so far as to actively stop protecting children and others from preventable diseases!

The closest I'll ever get to sitting in on a game with @matthewmercer.bsky.social !

Chance is freaking adorable, Matt, and I loved our session of Grottos and Goblins!

#DateEverything
Chance, the character in Date Everything voiced by Matt Mercer. He's dressed in maps, dice, a rule book of Grottos and Goblins and with what appears to be a dice bag for pants. He's happily saying "So glad this campaign is going well!"

The world is going to absolute shit and I just can't think of that right now because my heart is broken. 💔

We just lost Cupcake. She was fourteen, was technically my son's 6th birthday present, and was the matriarch of our little pride of house lions.

So, this happened. Big surprise from my other half who saw me wistfully looking at the preorders online.

This weather is terrible for migraines but great for pictures. A rare rainbow...

Ok, I don't need this. I'm trying to cut down on the amount of crap I buy. But since it's my little buddy, I'm so tempted! #FFXIV

Just a reminder, hate has no home here.
Text over a rainbow swirl: "With June being Pride Month, I wanted to take the occasion to clearly say this: I unhesitatingly & wholeheartedly support my lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer friends, their rights, their marriages, their pursuits of happiness and their breath. This is also true July through May.

Braindead day, probably a reaction to all the stress of this last week. So here's a sleepy kitty instead of something profound or witty.
Curled up orange cat with a blue collar. His name is Brave and is the biggest coward of the family.

Sums up today nicely.

Found WTF Notebooks a few years ago and they've been my splurge for work supplies ever since. They just announced a bunch of new snarky titles and these two may end up in my next order.
Two images of notebooks. Top one says "Meeting notes I'll probably never look at again." Bottom one says "Project notes for whatever the hell this is."

My work "brag wall" is finally complete. Lots of travel, testing, and a few tears wrapped up in these pieces of paper.

My snarky desk calendar is keeping it real today.

34 hours until we flip the switch at work and a coworker just gifted me a very appropriate new pen.

Got about 3/4 of my hair chopped off. Feels weird but I'm liking it so far.

Didn't have "ESO adopts Bioware's dialogue options" on my 2025 bingo card but here we go.

It took 4 days... But I finished the Lego set that my husband got me for my birthday. The cats are amused/confused and Cupcake was willing to sit for a picture.

Why am I at work today? Because I'm a dumbass obviously. I should have extended my vacation...
