Time for Star Trek and sleepies! Tonight I'm watching Season 3 episode 14 of Enterprise: Stratagem. I'm in PDX and it's finally gotten good and chilly in the evenings. I love cool nights for sleeping, and being all cozied up ☺️ memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Stratag...

Stratagem (episode)

Enterprise captures Degra, the mastermind behind the Xindi weapon project, and Archer tries to trick him into revealing the location of the final weapon. Captain Archer, disheveled, long-haired, and n...

Witch, saint, cultist, martyr, etc. costume ideas thread... GO! Hubs and I need ideas, and maybe you do too.

The stew was excellent and the company was excellent and our game was excellent. Good times were had all around, and now I rest. Phew! 🤩.

It's 10:42am and we almost have everything prepped for making beef stew. Gonna start cooking after I get my coffee and smoke a bowl. Luckily, my hips are feeling much better this morning. We'll see if that holds up. And we decided to make beef bourguignon because why not? Thanks, Julia!

new Star Wars character just dropped: Shit Libbo, the lovable centrist

Damn why do people get like, immediately rude when posting about geek shit? Like, isn't the whole misogynist know-it-all geek thing over? I just... Wow. I worked in a lot of gaming stores, and fuuuuckin nerd dudes are always correcting me, even when they're wrong or misinterpreting the premise.

Julia Child's Beef Bourguignon -The Little Ferraro Kitchen

Beef Bourguignon is a classic French beef stew in a rich red wine sauce and buttery mushrooms. This version stays true to the beloved recipe, with a few simplified steps.

D&D tomorrow! I'm making beef stew for game day 😏.

My tummy settled down by the end of the night, but my hip did a bad, so I'm tucked in to bed early. It feels great! Watching Star Trek Enterprise 3.13: Proving Ground. I love a Jeffrey Combs episode 😄!

Behold the glory of homemade kheer! I found some dried apricots & coconut so I chopped them up, and tossed them in with the slivered almonds. I also added a teensy touch of rosewater, a couple strands of saffron, and 5 cardamom pods. It's perfect! I can't believe I get to eat this all day ☺️.

People are too obsessed with Nazi Germany as their fascism template. Well, this is US Federal fascism in 2026. Yesterday's Livestream execution Pay Per View edition is U.S. fascism 2026 style. We're here now. We have to internalize this.

One of the most disconcerting moments of living in this timeline of the world in the U.S. is that A LOT of people in this country keep acting like there's a special line that needs to be crossed for fascism to *arrive.* The reality is that we are CURRENTLY living under Federal fascism. NOW.

Oh gosh I barfed this morning and have been hoping it would all chill out, but instead moving makes me feel like I'm gonna barf again. Need sick food. Haz no sick food. I put in a grocery order last night for gentle foods, but it won't be here until 1pm. I will have tofu salad on potato bread 🥹.

Why would we let Anthropic decide this for us? If you ascribe to a moral philosophy or religion that disavows being mean to a toaster, that is fine. It is not however fine for a tech company to make, functionally, a moral law for a talking word toaster that is promised to rule us one day.

I’m not so sure it’s okay to allow people to act out being abusive to even a simulation of a person. And it’s genuinely a beautiful aspect of human nature that we have to put in a bunch of mental effort *not* to form a (para)social bond with something, even if there’s no real subject there

A machine is more blameless, more sinless even than any animal. It has no intentions whatsoever but our own.

That's the prettiest darn murmuration of bats I've ever seen 🦇!

Is this #SpookySeason?

OK so how many actors from Battlestar Galactica are in this new Carrie adaptation? Apparently, a surprising amount! 😂.

The DNC texted me asking for money. I told them I will never send them another cent so long as they are sacrificing marginalized groups on the altar of political expediency. Especially trans rights!

I love Jeremy's creatures year round. But they do give extra special oomph to a Halloween gift!

Hey Bluesky, could you help spread the word? My goal for the day is one new sale. Here's a lovely pic of some of the Jeremy Creatures currently available at my shop. Each one is designed and hand-sewed by me and takes many hours to create. jeremycreature.bigcartel.com

If someone could please drone strike the sound system of the mechanic in our neighborhood, that would be GREAT. I was in a work meeting when it suddenly became so loud that my walls started shaking and I almost had a heart attack. Nobody needs a sound system that loud in a crowded city.

It would be so cool if management didn't joke about eliminating our jobs at almost every meeting. Would it be cool to not need most accommodations because all learning materials are accessible? Yeah! But, we're facing budget cuts, AI's screwing our field, and access isn't one size fits all.

Suck it up, Buttercups. Lololol. Our council is pretty cool... Except the conservatives, who aren't actually trying to conserve anything.

Closing it out in public testimony: "So to say the wealthy need to pay their fair share is perhaps too mild. I think this proposal really should be called the Suck It Up Buttercups proposal."

I personally believe that the owners of the LLMs are going to put their thumb on the scale to get what output they want, which takes away any chance of true independent thinking. But if they COULD think, I can't imagine it would be good for billionaires.

My afternoon: I smoked a fatty bowl w/ some shatter. I played with Freyja (cat). I put on Cypress Hill while I cut my hair. Then I took a shower. Then I trimmed my hair up a bit more after the post-shower curls started popping up. It's fine. Could be better. At least I feel somewhat lighter now!

No. I don't want power. Yes, I do want to "critique power." Power is the fucking problem. It's something to abolish, to fight, not something to strive for. I don't actually want to control the people around me. And I find it really gross if you do. Scalawags.

People do not understand how men who are white supremacists can have wives who are women of color and I need folks to realize that those men see their wives as subordinate property and not equals. These men are foaming at the mouth to bring back quadroon balls.

say what you will about trekkies but they didn't really go around interrupting strangers to ask what color their officers uniform would be.

Portland: please continue to be patient and avoid the area until ODOT confirms the highway is completely reopen. Be careful driving through the area, give workers space and obey the speed limit.

Crews will begin reopening lanes around 10 p.m. Wednesday.

Some guy is walking very slowly down the trail by my house, and he's blasting "Cumbersome." I shit you not. He has become... Cumbersome in this world. OMG it ended and started again. He's listening to it on REPEAT at a snail's pace. My poor ears. I got the butt rock blues lol.

Do any of my moots have clean cardboard boxes? I will trade you freshly picked homegrown tomatoes for cardboard boxes if you bring them to me out in SE PDX. I don't drive, but I do garden... And my tomatoes are juicy and delicious 😏. OMG I have a ton of hot peppers, too. So many Serranos!

Remember cardboard boxes? They used to be everywhere! I need to reorganize my office, and I have no cardboard boxes to help me do so. I miss cardboard boxes! They're recyclable, reusable, compostable, and *firm around the edges.* So many things are shipped in plastic bags now. Plastic bags suck.
