We have a new faculty member, super nice, but also very much like one of those friends that you have that always seems to be having a disaster that isn't DIRECTLY caused by them but it's odd it's always them having the disaster.

Fond of latibulation, gay he/him book nerd who plays too many video games, reads millions of books, bakes a lot and has a stupid amount of other hobbies.
There have been a few too many "Life is hard, let's go shopping!" moments in my immediate past (to be fair to myself a lot of that was food ordering when I was too blargle to sort out meal planning)
The disney song battle thing today it pitting "Gaston" against "Prince Ali" two of the most ear wormy songs in the newer Disney cannon and I fear my brain is going to be going "Prince Ali, fabulous he, eats twelve dozen eggs" all day now.
In general the humidity tends to be low where I live. Which means when it's like today where it's 86% I vaguely wonder if I'm getting sick because it's cool AND sticky and it feels reminiscent of a fever.
Why not, I'm in kind of a bad mood today though admittedly asking me top/favorite books is always fraught because It's like choosing your favorite child, though I suspect the child would be easier ;-)

Catie's books are super fun. While this is a shifter romance, it's a bit more action packed that the general trend there (I've read bits because I'm on her patreon) And honestly, don't you need to own a book with a cover this fabulous?

Look, Bluesky is a social media site. And unlike most other social media sites most people are here to, shockingly, be social not engage in political debate. There is nothing stopping any of the echo chamber from being here (other than a somewhat problematic moderation team)
My fitness tracker dohicky has to sync in the morning to tell me how well I slept and, during the summer where most of my sleep it desperately trying to find the cool spot on the sheets, it starts the day with "No sleep detected" Usually first thought is 'yeah, same, FTD, same"
Dear columnists: We have demonstrated, amply, that letting the free market regulate ANYTHING is a terrible idea so stop writing these sob stories about how regulation/taxation to support a public good will make the free market cry. If it does, good, it's been ruining shit most of my adult life.
Now if this had been not a parrot but something a raven or jackdaw the new disease could have been called Corvid 19.
Stephen Blackmoore@stephenblackmoore.com · 2d agoCancer: You will contract a rare disease from the Amazon that has only ever been found in macaws, stumping the medical community. Mostly, they're wondering why you're fucking macaws.
Dear brain: I do not need "We didn't start the fire" running through my head this morning, especially since a third of it is "Dah dah dah dah da dah dah" because you couldn't be bothered to remember all the lyrics.
I forgot how broody broody mcforehead is in buffy
I am deeply conflicted about showing up for the family tomorrow vs, not wanting to be vulture with my dead aunt’s stuff that I don’t want anyway
I found my old world of darkness character sheets when cleaning some stuff in the storage unit. Man those were some good times.
I really hope this sunscreen turns out to not be one I'm allergic to as the company sent me two orders that are similar but as far as I can I was only charged for one.

I am going to go home, eat an enormous bowl of left over pasta with garlic bread and sleep. Probably in that order but you never know with how these things will work out.
The wolf and his King by Finn Longman was a good read.
It is, in this age of fitness trackers, to have some validation that even though I slept 8.5 hours last night why I'm still tired.
There is no fucking excuse for all this bloody sun and I’d like to speak to the manager

There's a walt disney ultimate animated song thing running that's been fun to play along with and vote in but invariably I get one of the songs stuck in my head. Today it's "Bippity, boppity boo" for my sins.
With game companies attempting to destroy the console/AAA game market I foresee an uptick in my actually doing more of my artistic hobbies in the future because I won't be able to check out by pushing buttons to supply more blood for the blood god.
The bonny swans is currently playing, and while it can be a beautiful song, maybe you shouldn't let a harper with a harp made of human bones into your keep?
Dear Netflix: trying to prompt me to rewatch shows that I, admittedly, liked but that you cancelled after one season isn't the flex you think it is.
Dear fox, I know you are having a jittery sort of bad brain day where moving is more helpful than sitting at a computer but that doesn't not mean you can decide to rearrange your closet space instead of working (I'm not, but I'd much rather if I were)
