I'd quietly mentioned it from time to time, but I guess I still have a lot of NO CAUSE EVICTION TRAUMA because I was very: nbd I can make this work whatever its fine its fine never come here never talk to us please

Going through photos today and found a gem of a folder called "where is Molly trapped?"

Okay apparently he comes with the hat, that's significantly less cute, I'm glad I didn't get him, but also I definitely want to make little hats and scarves for my guys.

Finished my extremely ambitious knitting project and I am so pleased with it, not least because I actually finished it ahead of the cold and rainy times.

Like even if you google "Geoffrey Epstein" google is like "don't you mean Jeffrey Epstein, convicted pedophile? 👀"

It first simply auto-corrects, then if you insist on the Massachusetts guy it will still show you a helpful sidebar feat. the latter's face.

I'm complaining about this more over on Twitter because my costuming bud is over there, but I gotta say meticulously scrubbing cat piss smell out of a small leather bag exactly captures my feelings about my county right now actually.

I can't think of a more apt way to spend the forth of July.

Aright: smell reduction, phase 1.

...I just realized my professional costuming friend told me to use 50/50 vodka and WHITE VINEGAR, not baking soda, so this phase may do anything other than a surface wash, but I'm already resigned to this taking many days and phases, so idk.

I am tepidly optimistic that {potential new diagnosis}, even if not quite right, can lead to useful protocols, but it is kind of wild that whenever you try to pin down an apparent autoimmune disorder it's all very much just

Sometimes in the face of a Big Crisis* what you need is to fuck around in Target for 3+ hours trying on hats, touching questionable housewares, and laughing uncontrollably at packaging

*My friend's having the crisis, I'm just along for the levity and to make sure everyone eats

There's a conference coming up and our union was like "hey plz send us a bio and photo so we can populate our website" and the only selfie I had that made sense was one that is unnecessarily dramatic.

Sometimes I go into google maps, pull up our old house, go to street view, "see more dates" and then to June 2015 when my friend-who-died can still be seen noticing the google maps car

Please appreciate the staggering amount of queer excellence that was on stage a few weeks ago at the Schnitzer.

Excellence so abundant that they had to ADD AN EXTENSION to the stage to fit the band (the black floor part).
