did a sleep study last night and haha holy shit what an insanely strange experience. i'm glad i did it so hopefully i can get an answer one way or the other but god it stunk. did not sleep. in the morning the tech was like 'how did you get so tangled up in these wires' YOU DID THIS TO ME, JANICE!!!!
i called and asked someone for a big favor yesterday - not a dramatic or horrible ask, but definitely inconvenient for them - and the only thing keeping me from oblivion is the parachute sewn of one million 'no worries if not"'s i sweatily threw out during the conversation
i've been pleasantly surprised by how much i have enjoyed walking ziggy (i live in a condo, but fortunately in a neighborhood that i absolutely love to walk around, so the girlies are getting their steps in) but jesus christ we're really in the two-body-showers-a-day part of summer now. help
dropped ziggy off at the doggy daycare for her assessment and meet and greet and i feel like an insane helicopter parent. brrrrrr where is she how is she doing is she having fun do the other dogs think she's as funny as i think she is brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
in a very 'one step forward, two steps back' with some of ziggy's training right now - today was a very frustrating day!! she is my favorite thing in the universe and it was still a very frustrating day. she's got a bit of a stubborn streak and unfortunately (fortunately?) so do i
unfortunately i dont care about ospreay as a character so the only thing that is interesting is the mox-kenny part. its like im watching them fighting over custody of a crusty little dog. the internal conflict of the dog isnt what im focused on
yixura@yixura.bsky.social · 2w agothis ospreay mox kenny stuff is such a ya novel love triangle alsjflakfs will she choose the nice heroic GOOD GUY or the dangerous thrilling BAD BOY
Reading a fucked up book cannot make you evil, but becoming convinced that anyone who reads a fucked up book is somehow tainted, less trustworthy or dangerous will make you vulnerable to doing evil shit VERY quickly.
Nothing wrong with frictionless, comforting escapism media where none of the bad stuff exists, if that's your jam or your need, but we all collectively really really REALLY have to get rid of the idea that media that deals with immoral subjects leave an immoral taint on all who engage with it.
so funny to continue to learn more about zig's personality as we get to know each other. she's great on a leash but i had to take her out in the rain last night (a DRIZZLE) and she acted as if i was dropping her into hot lava. i ended up having to carry miss maam over the puddles.
People who have no training in painting posting about "ai tells" and its just the usual folds / anatomy / line that didnt get erased human error. We are cooked if we dont shut this behavior down
once ziggy falls asleep on the bed she is an immovable object. last night she curled up in the diamond of my legs and it was so cute i slept in an objectively insane (to me, a side sleeper till i die) position all night so i wouldn't bother her. i serve at the pleasure of the zigident
we just got back from a week at the beach and she did great. she loves: eating toddler food off the floor. hunting crabs on the beach at night. when i come home. she hates: when i am out of eyesight. when it’s late and i am not in bed so SHE can go to bed. hot sand. her regular boring kibble.
tonight on our walk a woman pulled her car over to tell me how cute and precious ziggy is and i don’t want to say it went to my head but i do want to say that maybe those stage moms on toddlers and tiaras had the right idea, actually
i open my mouth and all that comes out is me talking about my dog but i love her so much and i am so grateful to have her, even as she slowly inches me off the edge of the bed every night until half of my body is suspended into space. she is fourteen pounds and has the gravitational pull of the sun
the noises ziggy makes when i have kenneled her and she realizes i am leaving make me want to call cps on myself
The absolute definition of I will not hand Roberts SHIT, he and the other five are among the worst people alive devoted to destroying people’s lives at every opportunity and using legal norms to fascist ends. Fuck them all.
The smallest, tiniest of mercies but boy is July going to be queer rage month
Mark Joseph Stern@mjsdc.bsky.social · last mo.The Supreme Court strikes down Trump's attack on birthright citizenship. By a 5–4 vote, it holds that the 14th Amendment guarantees citizenship to children born of unauthorized and temporary immigrants.

damn there's a fic with 50,000!!!! kudos that got flagged by this too, times are literally so dire. like, looking at it though the cadence and style of ai writing is still so clear when it's mostly unedited! love yourselves! read good original stuff as well!
Hrothgal Sai 🏳️🌈🇨🇦👩🏻🏭@hrothgalsai.bsky.social · last mo.Someone on twitter made an ao3 skin that turns fics red if it detects a claude response text wrapper. Thought i would share it here. drive.google.com/file/d/1YyFK... #ao3
one of my fav things to do is text my mother 'i have a furniture arranging problem' with the details and then let her spin it around in her brain until inevitably i get woken up by a phone call and her saying 'hi did i wake you up? anyway you should [solution]' and it totally solves my problem
Your friends think fondly of you when you aren't around. You can't stop it.
Ayo@darrylayo.bsky.social · 2mo agoYour friends actually like you
my friends love to razz me about the little note i keep on my phone called FRIEND STUFF but honestly if you also have a bad memory i can't recommend it enough. the main rule of FRIEND STUFF that everything in it is a neutral fact. nothing that would hurt feelings or that you couldn't show them.

i started doing a thing where whenever i want to impulse buy something online i put it into a note on my phone instead and wait a couple of weeks and then look at it again. and most of the time i'm able to talk myself out of it. but also i am sometimes just reminded of the rad stuff i want to buy
It's honestly the funniest thing that the only game the Knicks lost in 2 months was the one Trump attended.
It is true that this is a beautiful pluralistic country with everything good you could ever possibly want in the world and also a corrupt stinking hell hole presided over by demons who want us all dead.
guy has a trillion dollars, 0 friends, and has never landed a joke. I know a pact with the devil when I see one.
forever forehead kisses to the email i just got about the show tonight that says 'doors are at 7. you can park for free here. artist goes on promptly at 8 & plays a 2 hour set.' i still have trauma from the imogen heap show where we lined up at 6 for doors at 7 and she didn't go on until 11:30pm
went to an HR themed spin class for pride week last night and the final song was a dub step remix of ilya saying 'i'm coming to the cottage' for like three and a half minutes, it was so funny i almost pedaled that damn stationary bike right off its axels and into the parking lot
