Yelling into the void etc.

Big scary bad intersection driving home from rehearsal tonight, got honked at twice for trying to turn ON MY LIGHT. I'm getting more confident driving but it's not getting more fun I'll tell you fucking what.

There are still good things happening in the world. A coworker opened a meeting today with "GOOD MORNING FROM A FREE SERBIA" and we got to hear about how change and revolution ARE possible and within reach 😭 🙏

"i would die for you, i would kill for you" okay but would you go to the store for me. would you goto the. store ive just had a really long day and theres nothing in the fridge. would you go buy ingredients and. and cook for me and would you get snacks too. also i need you to do the dishes

I think a misconception about going to things like concerts alone is that people will bother you or treat you like you're weird. Most people go to shows in groups and are locked the fuck in to their group. You may as well not exist to them. Enjoy your invisibility! Dance to your heart's content!

Me as a baby LARPer: all materials should feel in period! Me as an old LARP auntie: actually if you can't put your armor on yourself you should switch to elastic you'll thank me later also nylon webbing and plastic clips is fine, we're not taking our whole belt off to put our quiver down in 2026

Today at unnamed fabric store, I expressed interest in local quilt/sewing guilds and got a really lukewarm response of "you can show up I guess but its for quilters" as I was... buying quilt fabric. If you're not gonna enthusiastically welcome newcomers, maybe don't post your schedule publicly?

I understand that the body wants desperately to keep the score but the brain what has dyscalculia thinks maybe we could be fudging the numbers a tiny bit so we can get shit done instead of sitting in a soup of fatigue

aaagh both quilt shops near me (that are at this point my only fabric stores in easy reach) are stocking fabrics that are absolutely AI patterns. I get that the staff doing stocking probably does not know, but the specific brand & fabric line has not been shy about using AI. barfffff

Handed over the keys today to a 10 year old LARP organization I grew from a little egg. Excited for the new team. Glad to not be responsible anymore. Proud, bittersweet etc. Celebrating, like I do most large life changes whether I want to or not, with a bowl of lukewarm chipotle in a quiet house.

Frustrating as hell that no one offered "train the muscles around/that support the area that hurts" as a solution to "hey, parts of my body hurt a lot" and I had to figure out for myself that yeah that actually solves the hurting part.

I resisted getting a pinnable design wall for my studio for unknown reasons but now it's eliminated the two parts of quilting I hate (having to clean my sewing room enough to lay out a giant quilt, and the squat hell nausea of pinning the sandwich) Older quilting ladies figured this shit OUT

A quilt, pinned to its batting and backing and stuck to a design board on a wall

My sweet beloved cats give me a lot of grief but at least one of them is relatively zooted on his anxiety meds and the other one does not care about anything much less fireworks
