Probably having an internal system outage as we speak. Apparently demure. Amused by bad taxidermy. I usually follow people back who interact/have discussions with others.

Drivellous.

Tangled with @JimBobbers regularly.

Well, my latest round of spammy follows has been weed enthusiasts/thc-based product manufacturers. Several in the past 48 hours.

Quite a change from the recent round of AI-photo sex bots.

Am I bored enough to fuck with YET ANOTHER "oops wrong number" text scammer.

I have one friend that messages on Telegram, but I get about 10 of these per week.

My executive function is PANTS today, so I pulled the slackboard out, and every time I get a little squirrelly, I spend a little time on it. It helps.

I have new neighbors moving in. I've had to mute notifications from my Ring doorbell three times already today, there's so much coming and going.

I miraculously managed to force my jetlagged ass to think ahead & to throw some beef brisket into the slowcooker/crockpot this morning.

Even more miraculously, a managed to remember to pull it out of the freezer to thaw yesterday.

It smells fantastic.

Ah, this one made me miss my grandma. My mom wasn't Mennonite, but her mom, my Grandma, grew up in a Mennonite-adjacent community with many similar characteristics and roots in Mennonite populations and many of these dishes were her comfort food.

When I'm awake in the middle of the night, my youtube algorithm coughs up interesting things. This was the most normal of them.

This is a very Southern Thanksgiving. Regional food variations, etc.

Here's an example of one of the things spending an extended time in a different country does to you.

I just walked out of my bathroom into the hallway to find the light switch to turn the light off.

In the UK, bathroom lights always have switches outside the bathroom.

In the US, they're inside

My phone, for the past half hour, has been ringing constantly with spam risk calls. About one per minute.

I can't turn off unknown caller rings because of work.

Aaaaaaaaaargh

Stop spying on me
Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

"Homely" in the states means "unattractive or ugly," usually used to describe a person.

I'm back in the states, and finding myself very interested in how a Brit perceives the differences between the US and UK. This guy has done a bunch of these videos.

Obvs he's in one neighborhood somewhere, and this isn't fully representative of the whole US.

I didn't find my career. It found me. Very literally. A phone call from HR based on a resume posted on an online job site decades ago. I had accepted a job doing something else but agreed to speak with them anyway. Job offer same day as my interview.
