When I was a kid and started playing Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons, @andrewsp37.bsky.social called the little forest sprites the Underwear gnomes - this was around the same time that episode of South Park aired.

27 fucking years later and I still call them that.

OH NO THEY CAUGHT FARFETCH'D!!

Also Narding was very good during his haircut. His stylist was a very nice Filipina and he got to watch Bluey. I also managed to keep some of his locks with brown tips (his hair is blonde, but the tips was his brown hair from when he was born)

Also got a very good cardamom latte and pistachio milk cake from the Yemeni coffee shop a few doors down.

Wasn't meaning to go to a video game store today, but we ended up getting Narding's first haircut done today, and it was next door to the haircutters.

Went to a video game store on Pokemon Legends Z-A release day.

Picked up Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar instead.

Oh hey, we're watching Giant Gorg too!

Don't think those people that sculpt those figures have seen an actual bunny suit being worn in real life.

Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

I made this Beatrice (Over the Garden Wall) cosplay 10 years ago and cosplayed with my husband 9.5 years ago with him as Wirt. And this year we finally can have Narding as Greg.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

So I'm feeling Giant Gorg, Yatterman, Future Boy Conan, Laputa, Nausicaä and other early Miyazaki in DASH.

I am pretty damn sure Giant Gorg was an influence on MegaMan Legends/Rockman DASH. Also Mayumi Tanaka (Rock Volnutt) voices the main character.

The ever so useful wall chicken:

Same thing with my niece Aning, I want to get cultural stuff for her.

This morning there is one Nobel Peace Prize winner, 8.1 billion or so people who did not win the Nobel Peace Prize, and one Nobel Peace Prize loser.

Trying to find an Xmas present for Narding that's not toys. I want to get him Filipino cultural gifts like last Xmas (a capiz parol) and his birthday (a gold filigree lapel pin)

Narding's Ninong and Ninang got him a Pottery Barn armchair for his birthday

Aaaaaaand it's the cat's chair now.

Ashita no Joe is so good. I'm waiting on the next volume, but it's so far away 😔

I grew up Catholic so I feel like I can confidently say that shooting a priest in the head with a pepper ball guarantees that you are going to hell

PSA to those who live in the US, no matter how disillusioned you may be, vote in local elections and encourage your friends and family to do so. One of the big problems for liberals is low turnout for lower level elections, which puts in people who approve of gerrymandering tactics for the big ones.

The wipe warmer is a stupid thing. Even my mom stopped using her's when she takes care of Narding because it would dry up the wipes.

Maybe we all need a cold wipe on our bottom to start the day.
