When Peter tells Wendy “second start to the right and straight on til morning”, this implies that both have been trained on dead reckoning and inertial navigation techniques, although it remains an open question whether the relative motion of the star to the earth is accounted for

in a civilized society, the C-suite at kalshi would be ritually stripped, smeared with fishguts and staked below the high tide mark on a crab-infested beach as a warning to all who'd seek to profane the laws of gods and men

Folks, I didn't make rent and a huge bill just hit on top of it. I am still looking for work. I badly need to raise $600 this month

I sometimes wonder if I feature as a character in any strangers’ lore as, like, The Woman Who Missed the Curb And Did a Full Arm Windmill That One Time. Or The Woman Trying to Read Three Books At Once On the Train

My plan to devote all my focus to getting swole the minute I recovered from surgery is being foiled by the existence of other commitments. This is surely a plot against me personally, and I’d get to the bottom of it if I weren’t totally exhausted

I’ve decided to just create a breadcrumb trail of little treats for myself as motivation to do anything at all

Textes from Sisyphus: UGH You are not goinge to BELIEVE what just happenid AGAYNE 🪨

The Rad Onc asked a lot of questions today about whether I have any pain from radiation. I didn’t before, but now my boob hurts, and I’ve decided it’s their fault for asking for so many details about it

Making some cookies for Radiation Oncology to celebrate my partner’s last day of treatment, and I’m trying this new thing I’ve heard of called “not starting the project at midnight”

Yesterday I ordered an extravagant delivery dinner of Indian food, but now I’m glad I went so hard because the leftovers are delicious and they’ll last me several more dinners

'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)

TL;DR Free markets require regulation Free markets are compatible with democratic socialism Price controls make sense in worlds where market failures make markets less than free

The "free" in market does not mean "free from regulation." It means "able to operate with free information and without market manipulation" and we've now proven, for the second time in US history, that you cannot have a free market WITHOUT reining in corporations.

It's not fucking laughable to have price controls to end corporate gouging in a world where there are basically three corporate overlords and they're wink-wink-nudge-nudging each other into raising prices on everything.

Granting myself permission to recycle yesterday’s art project that didn’t turn out the way I wanted and start fresh

Or, to put it much more simply (h/t @davidwhodat.bsky.social): “Ally” is a verb.

A PSA to my fellow cis people who are (or want to believe they are) trans allies If you are getting pushback from trans people and your reaction is to be all “no! not me! I’m one of the good ones!” please remember that “being one of the good ones” is something you DO, not something you ARE

When you get two cats, how do they decide which one will have a tiny chirp like a pixie’s doorbell and which one will wail like the ghost of a jilted bride?

I’m trying to change my reflexive response from “I’m so sorry for running late, I’m the worst person ever, please forgive me even though I am a worm, etc.” to “Thanks for being flexible, I really appreciate it” and I think everyone enjoys the conversation more this way

I mess up my schedule, but the radiation oncology people just saved me from having to late-cancel a job. I hate having to go to treatment every day but the people there are actually pretty great

I screwed up my schedule for tomorrow. It’s honestly a little surprising I’ve made it this far into treatment without double-booking myself, but I’m still annoyed and I’m not sure how to fix it. Especially since I fell asleep and napped through the office’s open hours

I’m exhausted by the [everything] and I’m going to eat some cookie dough about it

I don't think people are ready for this kind of joke yet.

it’s never a great sign for your society when all the competent people who believe in doing a good job for the sake of it conclude that they’re actively being punished for these qualities, while malignantly stupid criminals are making bank
