@peanutbuttergamer.bsky.social Paused one of your videos at random (I forgot which one after I edited this) and you look like an old school rap music video.

Probably 2 years ago I made a copy of my music library sans inappropriate-for-my-kid stuff. He hasn't touched it until the last week or so, and now he's bringing me Untitled, uncredited techno / opera fusion tracks I pirated on Kazaa in 2001 like I FOUND THE BOSS MUSIC DAD, WHERE CAN I GET MORE?

I bought a window prism off azmodon the other day. Wanted one all my life because my great grandmother had one I was fascinated with as a child. It took me a few decades to realize they're pretty cheap and I could just HAVE one at any time. So now I do. Photobomb by Steve the Skull.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

I know. I was there in those camps.

This was our cat's reaction to a tiny Anna's hummingbird yelling at him for being too close to her nest in the bush 50ft away. Seconds later she PEED on him and chased him across the yard, yelling the whole time until I came to rescue him. His brother just watched.

Beatrice has got some attitude.

Everything is frozen, on fire, or crumbling around me, but I've got things like this to remind me that there's still light out there even if it's just a few fireflies in the dark right now.

I have a pair of Anna's Hummingbirds that live in my fence. They're named Beatrice and Edgar because of this guy and his wife! They LOVE me because their feeder is bulb-heated and always full of 50/50 sugar water. Spoiled brats are at my window AS SOON AS the bulb blows or someone hits the switch.

I grew up without a dad. Is this the part of me that's missing?
Doctor, my son gets hard in the night and I don’t even know it, am I what the magazines call a “bad dad?”

Sharing something I found elsewhere that made me feel something other than despair.

All the kitties say I'm pretty rad for a skin dad.

Sick. Unfortunately the NyQuil tastes awful, so we've opted to begin end of life care.

Lord, bleach my internet-poisoned brain; I just read 'Hanukkah' as 'hawk-tuah'. I'm not even Jewish and I feel like I need to find a temple after that one.

My hopes for a sequel in the Legacy of Kain series since Defiance dropped in 2003 are now old enough to drink.

On the bright side, 21 years later, I'm about to enjoy the remaster with my kid who is getting into dark fantasy stuff lately. These are the games that started my love of storytelling.

Sometimes love is grand gestures and deep conversations. Other times, it's playing on your phones while a compilation of 90s commercials plays, and occasionally both simultaneously saying "Oh my God I wanted that infomercial thing so bad as a kid“

The Betty Crocker Bake n Fill, for those wondering.

Hey there, aging millenial. I know we don't know each other, and I have no reason to inflict violence upon you, but you should know that the original Playstation was released 30 years ago.

I DO love that Bluesky saw me with 3 posts, 4 comments on animals and gaming, and a bunch of liked cat pictures and said 'You know, I feel pretty confident about this one. Here. Three posts deep in your Discover queue' before throwing risque furry art at me.

The algorithm takes no prisoners here. 😆

This is how I've always seen things. I don't understand any other ways of thinking.

She is my moon, my stars, my sun, and several of my defunct Starlink satellites. I live for her; worship her; strive to be like her. I love myself more through loving her.

But mark my words, if she mixes white claw and calamari before bed ever again, I will marry her just to get a divorce.

I spent the last month locking down accounts and saving everything I cared about from other social media. Finally shrugging off 15 unwanted years of Facebook and deleting the account before transition of office. I almost forgot what it was like to be part of a platform while it's still nice.
