Extremely strange human. Unsettlingly sincere about it.

meanwhile, at Cuomo HQ:
a photo from the viral "Willy's Chocolate Experience" event that was a notorious failure: the photo is of a woman in a green wig standing in front of a poorly-hung black sheet. She has a table with haphazard "lab equipment". There is a fog machine seemingly pointed at her. Her expression is exhausted. The overall effect is both underwhelming and embarassing

Text over a haunted forest which reads: Excerpt - With surprising gentleness, Roma lifted Haze’s bound wrists. With one swipe of her claw, she cut through the ropes, without leaving even a scratch on Haze’s skin. Haze flexed her fingers, tingling but otherwise fine. Without the focus that life-or-death stakes brought, it was hard to think, but they weren’t in the clear yet. “What about the other hunters?” “Dead.” Roma shrugged. “They would not surrender.” Haze accepted this without comment, though it made her blood run cold to talk about death so callously. “What about the other wolf, the one you were with?” “There is a Pack a few miles from here. I sent Ronan to warn them when we scented the hunters.” Her face softened. “I needed to make sure they were safe before I came back for you. I am sorry for the delay.” Haze swallowed. “You shouldn’t have come back for me at all.” To Haze’s surprise, Roma snorted. “I am very sorry for saving your life.” An arrow pointing at Clarke and Lexa from The 100 which says "sapphic enemies to situationship". Beneath it is a promo image from Teen Wolf with an arrow pointing to it which says "irreverent approach to werewolves & witches" Text over an image of a haunted forest which reads: Character intro - Haze Luna. Biracial (Mexican & White) Nerdy ADHD / Neurodiverse Rep Body Positive Plucky Heroine Curious Bookworm Stubborn When the war between witches and werewolves reaches a dangerous peak Haze must choose between newfound love and her duty to her people. There is a silhouette of a plus size woman wearing a witchy hat beside the text. Text over an image of a haunted forest which reads: Character intro - Roma.

Text on a haunted forest background which reads: "Wolfsbane and Witch Hazel by Shannon Lippert 87k words Teen Wolf meets The L Word in this New Adult Queer Romantasy Haze is a failed witch who’s just blown her best shot at redemption. She has to figure out what’s weakening the connection to magic before her people lose their gifts forever. Which means teaming up with a werewolf, the witches’ mortal enemy, who is either making bedroom eyes or I-want-to-throttle-you eyes at Haze. As the mystery of magic draws Haze closer to her unlikely ally, she discovers a threat to the future of her people. Torn between love and duty, Haze’s choice will determine the future of witches and werewolves alike." Text on a haunted forest background which reads: "Tropes & themes, Enemies to lovers Grumpy x sunshine Neurodiverse rep Love vs. duty Yearning Power and corruption Forced proximity Slow burn Female rage Emotions vs. stoicism" Text on a haunted forest background which reads: "Opening - The ceasefire only meant that no one could draw blood, and Haze found herself cataloging all of the ways she knew how to maim someone without breaking the skin. Gravitational dislocation. Deoxygenation. Simultaneous extremity fractures. Not counting forbidden arts like blood magic, there were sixteen torments in total, one for every step she took between the car and the square, limestone chalk bright against the charred gravel. The scorched remains of a long-abandoned church would not have been Haze’s first choice for a meeting place, but she’d ceded the right to choose to her guests. Why they’d chosen this place, full of sulfur and sorrow, was beyond her. What was the sixteenth card of the major arcana? She should have studied more." Text on a haunted forest background which reads: "Comps - A Discovery of Witches, forbidden romance & restoring lost magic. Her Majesty's Royal Coven, challenging the status quo. Wolfsong, queer contemporary, overcoming trauma, becoming a leader. The Unbroken, sapphic enemies to situationship, love vs. duty"

Beings by @ilanaslightly.bsky.social arrived! Good timing, I just finished a book. Usually I let my dog decide which one from the pile I'm going to read next. This appears to be Chaz-approved.

Tried to book a covid booster through NY's immunization clinics and got this in response. The link directs me to the website where I made the appointment -_-

so for no particular reason I am imagining RFK Jr. falling down an up escalator for 45-95 minutes

my dog sleeps like a creature who knows nothing of politics. the weight on his soul is as flimsy as wet cotton candy. May we all find such untormented moments, snoozing on a bed of dragon blankies.
A beagle sleeping. He is snuggled up against a pile of green blankets with dragons on them. Unbothered.

Sometimes you need to stay up way past your bedtime to finish reading a really good book. No regrets.

Today I woke up with my dog snuggled up against me, snoozing happily. He used to be so shy and now that's where he wants to sleep.

saw Thunderbolts
Screenshot of the man in a chicken suit fighting from the movie Thunderbolts. At the bottom right corner is a screenshot of two tweets. The first tweet by b3ta reads "We want to hear about your work related fuck-ups. Reply, quote tweet, do your worst." The second quote tweey by Séamas O'Reilly reads: "Got my days wrong and ended up alone in a room with my boss and the President of Ireland while I was on ketamine."

My dog is now fully deaf, he's either 16 years old or the rescue I got him from really over-estimated his age. He's lost a tooth but he remains mister personality. Vegetables hate to see him coming.

Thank god the coyote was bad at math. My dog is easily negative one in a fight. He is good for screaming about minor inconveniences and eating all of my broccoli. This is not the face of a killer, Bella.

It is also technically in Manhattan due to municipal silliness. If you ask your House rep in congress it's in Manhattan. If you ask any cab driver it is the Bronx and they are unhappy you misled them when getting in their car.

Screenshots of Michael Scott from 'The Office' tv series with Dwight in the background. Michael is saying "I love inside jokes. Love to be a part of one someday." The first line has been changed to read "I love democracy" instead.

Someone left this, one of the most flattering comments on a bookmark of a fic I thought was 100% self-indulgent. Thank you, fellow fan <3
