AHEM! Pardon me, I want to tell you about my Lord and Savior, Izzy Hands!
So, I fucked up & due to my own idiocy, my rent money has been stolen from my car. I have about half the amount for rent left in sticker sales $ but need the other half by tomorrow night to avoid late fees. If you can, order some stickers or even commission me to help! ko-fi.com/ndkiwi0255/s...
Jeanne Gibson, beloved “Rosie the Riveter,” passed away on July 29, 2026 at 100. Gibson became a welder at Todd Pacific Shipyards in Seattle, helping build destroyers for the Allied war effort during WWII. Gibson helped pave the way for millions of women who stepped into critical wartime roles.
This week started with me sick with fever and aches, and is ending with me flat out broke. It's not been a great one, to be perfectly honest. Send Heated Rivalry fics please.
"Everything becomes trauma" is like "everyone is autistic now." Trauma that was normalized or buried before is becoming recognized, so now there's "too much."
Meggie Z@nutmeggles.bsky.social · last wk.Another classic case of “sucks to suck”.
So I've added hockey to the ephemera I am collecting. This is so cool. Trinity College had already become a part of the larger University of Toronto at this point, but they were still really trying to foster a unique identity within that system. So, of course, they had their own hockey team.
I have read my first Hollanov fanfic. I know! I am old and easily distracted.

Those eyes say - yesss, pet the belly! Those murder mittens say, only 1.25 times.

Last night, I woke up to what I thought was the sounds of people setting off more fireworks. Just these popping sounds. Then opening my eyes I saw a weird orange glow through my blinds. I grabbed my glasses and peered outside to see this (not really, but you get the idea):

Hockey hot take: All the NHL goalies have a group chat where they can coordinate their occasional attempts to fight one another.
So I've established that I have 3 husbands so far. I want more. Any (or no) genders optional. Suggest away!

Just here to post this again like I do every year, not only because Douglass was one of the founding philosophers of American liberty but because I am so moved by the kids Frederick Douglass’ descendants deliver “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July”

I am so glad that this week includes a Friday off because I am struggling tonight to feel like I can manage a full week. If you want to cheer me up, please post pics of Con O'Neil, Hudson Williams or Misha Collins. They are my husbands.
Excited about all the hockey possibilities, especially with the Shark's draft picks. They managed to move up their 3rd first round spot from #27 to #21 between leaving from work and getting home. And picked up 2 defensemen. Yay🏒
The state of me: achy and grumpy. But also hopeful. I just learned (or relearned...it's hard to know with all me brain stuff) that PWHL has an expansion team starting this coming season in San Jose. You mean, I can support women's hockey?! So here for that.
One of today's political prisoners. Cartoonist & zine maker Daniel Rolando Sanchez Estrada wasn't even at the ICE protest. He was accused of "moving" a box of anti-Trump zines THE NEXT DAY. A rightwing judge sentenced him to 30 years! Just for possessing zines. The darkness is descending.
Ryan Estrada@ryanestrada.com · last mo.A cartoonist named Daniel "Des" Rolando Sanchez Estrada was tried as a terrorist and sentenced to 30 years in prison for having anti-Trump comics in his car. Prosecutors connected him to a 2025 anti-ICE protest he didn't even attend because he was in the same book club as others who were.
Is anyone shocked by this, really? Straight out of a fascist playbook.
Phil Lewis@phillewis.bsky.social · last mo.Stephen Miller was reportedly the driving force behind the DOJ's recent memo authorizing states to institutionalize people with disabilities rather than fund community-based care
Year-ago me is having a bit of a freak out that present-day me is excited about the NHL draft starting this Friday and planning to try to attend one day of the San Jose Sharks training camp in September. Who even am I?!

The Hail Mary Project and Disclosure Day all in the same day. Filmmakers are pretty optimistic about aliens right now.
