Oh, uh, hello new followers!

I don't quite have anything to plug right now, but I'm a writer and film photographer and I mostly talk about music, craft beer, culture, queer stuff, disability stuff, and other such things, sometimes with a PR person lens.

Also I have a cat named Leopold. He's cool.

one half would like to give it the benefit of the doubt and just assume that it was a stupid PR thing for attention, but the other half of me thinks she's just that dumb all the time

Was this some weird "see that people are just people" thing

Every Khruangbin song sounds the same, but I always play through it all the way because that band is more of a vibe than anything else.

Kimchi Day 3 of fermenting and WE'RE GETTING BUBBLES!

Tasted a bit and the salt is there as well as the funk and it's coming in very nicely. Going to leave it in one more day and then send it to the fridge for every day eating.

Wait, JD Vance is only 4 months older than me???

The eyeliner makes a little more sense now, but the constantly having bees stinging his face to look like that is still a mystery.

Sorta felt like it didn't matter considering, you know, the atrocities!

Gonna level with you, Jules, I never really thought about Hitler's sex life because I sort of felt there were other things to learn from!

Last i checked, there were one or two things about Hitler that could be focused on more.

I remain completely convinced that there's something up with their brains that creates a disconnect between real life and just saying horrible things and they completely believe that what they're talking about is so trivial and theoretical that they're surprised they get yelled at.

I don't really know what that was, but uh, sure thing

Gonna get ahead of questions here and say yes, I did figure out a plausible way a ghost could kill a person and no, I was not okay when I wrote this.

We don't need ChatGPT doing erotica when we have a perfectly good Ao3 already.

Now seems like a good time to remind you that I have the start of a CSI/Real Ghostbusters fic with some interesting chemistry going on between Egon and Grissom that AI just wouldn't be able to capture.

*throws file on desk* Hey Scully, you ever hear about the Chicago Rat Hole?

The New York Times @nytimes.com · 23h

A team of researchers analyzed the anatomical dimensions of an infamous imprint on a Chicago sidewalk, sifting through photos and measuring mammal specimens in museum collections to put what they were seeing in context.

Their conclusion? The Chicago Rat Hole was not made by a rat.

The Chicago Rat Hole Was Not Made by a Rat

A statistical analysis of an infamous indentation in a sidewalk suggested a 99 percent likelihood that another rodent made the mark.

I'm in a lot of physical pain right now. I'm supposed to host a potluck at my place and if I'm anything close to what I am now, I might have to do the shitty thing and cancel it

My first word was apparently "hello" because everyone kept saying that to me, but there's a story of me as a baby being woken up by birds outside and my parents heard me over the baby monitor saying "Fucking birds..."

According to my baby book, my first full sentence was “I want chicky pie.”

I now know someone whose first words were "I want cheese"
