Mort has had his haircut. Hoping by the time he needs the next one he will be up for seeing a mobile groomer.

they/she Fanfic nerd, larper, crafter, baker, gardener, neuroqueer. Trying harder to be myself. Also: maker of pickles.
Is the GLP-1 making me lose weight? Yeah absolutely. But it has definitely taken most of the joy and comfort I got from food away, and not really replaced it with anything.
Mort (the cat)’s been on Prozac for two weeks. Here’s what I’m noticing so far. He’s bolder for asking for things he wants. He’s more likely to wander out of my room. He stole food off my plate yesterday (I don’t eat up here very often, but he didn’t do that last summer during my knee recovery).
I know that there are extra risks inherent to being a special education teacher but nobody talks about all the extra germs. I have one kiddo who takes several minutes to process and comply with requests like “hey please use the hand sanitizer,” and since that’s just how their brain is…
In which I explain to a sixth grader that zombies are tedious and vampires are a much cooler monster.
Kid: can I leave my fruit cup in your fridge? Me: yes but I am not responsible for what happens to it after 24 hours.
Also today half of the kids from one of my classes got suspended. This is not as bad as you think it is - the class has exactly four kids in it - but it still not great. Nor were causes anything I would ever suspect these kids would do.
Pissed off a man with a bad take on book banning on Threads. Got called a misandrist and blocked.
The email from admin that says, “we have so many teachers out tomorrow, please sign up now to cover their classes,” actually just makes me want to put in for a sick day too.
Definitely a very professional email I just got from my US representative, Lauren Baubert.
The recent transplants collection grows. Keeping them here where I am more confident about light levels and can keep a better eye on their water needs every day of the week until I’m sure they’ll survive. I’m gonna miss my kitchen windowsill prop jars. #houseplants
After months of protein drinks and unsweetened tea I got a gas station cappuccino this morning and wow that was a mistake. Yuck.
I would like to change my voicemail message to, “it’s 2026 please hang up the phone and send a text or an email.” But I would probably get in trouble for doing that on my work phone.
In case you were curious, yeah I am an HF alumn. And yeah, I am fucking appalled at the thing with Lincolnway East. Stop raising your kids to expect their lives to be consequence free. Vikings, you did not deserve that, and your forbearance in asking the adults to deal with it is amazing.
It occurs to me that I got the internet for the first time 30 years ago this fall. I could not tell you an exact date. It has been a long and strange fucking trip. Here’s to WBS (webchat broadcasting system), talkers, MUSHes, ICQ and IRC.
The number of people still seemingly unaware that Substack has a Nazi problem means it’s apparently worth mentioning yet again that Substack has a fucking Nazi problem.

Those of us who are nostalgic for our 80s childhood should maybe remember that while we were having it, young gay men were dying horrible deaths all around us. And that a majority of the adults in our lives likely voted for an incompetent actor and his astrologer who ignored it all.
Happy Labor Day, the national holiday for America where we celebrate workers by giving the day off to bankers and managers while the labor employees still have to work.
I have managed to eat almost none of the produce from my small garden before it goes bad. Gonna have to do something about it tomorrow. Maybe roast the tomatoes and freeze?
Did I remember to renew my registration before it expired? Uh, yes. Like an hour before it expired but the important part is that I did it on time.
Anyone have a guide to separating yourself from Google products? I have a huge drive and 20+ years of email I don’t want to lose all of, as well as saved passwords and notes. This Lake America thing is so dumb and I’m so mad at them for complying. I already switched to Mapquest this morning.
you know what, maybe the cicadas are right. endless screaming is the way forward
I love all of the beautiful nature-based nonbinary names people adopt and sometimes I imagine picking one for myself and even after (maybe because of) years of naming LARP characters and using and loving their names, I cannot imagine anything suitable. #nonbinary #enby
I think it’s really wild that we call it transphobia when it’s not fear it’s just bigotry with a shitty excuse. We need a better word.
