Mr. Lisa learned from Dave Chang to take StoveTop and use the seasoning for our cornbread sausage stuffing since you lot keep buying up all the rosemary, thyme, and sage during the holidays! Anyways, StoveTop works great. Mr. Lisa is going to level up for Xmas dinner and get Pepperidge Farm.
I unironically love it. Take a lot of crap for that. I make a little pot of it for myself the day after Thanksgiving or I just don’t feel right lol
This is a Stove Top stuffing appreciation account now.

I never used to eat it, but now it's weirdly comfort food to me.

Fuck a noodle cup, I want an instant Stove Top cup.

I like to organize things. My clothes, books, files. Everything. When I need to self-soothe, I organize something. Recently it's been cleaning up the tagging on my GoodReads account. I have 2200 books on that list. Perfect because there is no end in sight.

Hey. Yeah, you over there. I'm glad you're alive. Thank you for making your mark on this world. Without you, it wouldn't be as bright and beautiful. 💜

A "FIFA Peace Prize" is tantamount to getting an "AutoZone Best Actor in a Dramatic Play" award.

And "I want to really save lives" is rich coming from the homicidal slob who is murdering people on fishing boats in the Caribbean.

Jesus christ. I also kept a back-up of mIRC and I logged channels so I've got logs going back from 2000 to 2008.

Apparently I thought Daniel Craig did things in chinos that were positively illegal.

I'm cleaning up my backup files and came across the application to become a new channel manager on #philosophy2 on Undernet in 1996. WHY did I keep this text file? WHO KNOWS! Anyway, IRC is still better than Discord or Slack. Just sayin'.

Russia was removed from Eurovision in 2022 over its invasion of Ukraine, but Israel is still allowed to compete despite being an apartheid state committing a genocide in Gaza.

Good on Spain, Ireland, and the Netherlands. I’m sure they won’t be the last to announce a boycott.

So, I bought a pair of black pleather leggings for an event in July. After that event, I put them in my drawer and while I did not forget they existed, never thought of when to wear them again.

Realized I can wear them whenever I damn well please. Like today. At the library where I work.

Synopsis: "A lonely librarian cataloging a remote estate discovers a chained bear and develops a forbidden physical relationship with the animal..."

This won lit fict awards in Canada and yes, I've read it. Yes, it is unhinged.

When Brendan died, I decided to take his last name for Scarlet's last name (which works since she's not published). My stupid ass added an extra "a" in his name and I've been playing whack a mole to fix it. Today, I finally updated Scarlet's bluesky banner and FB name. 🤣 Geeze, Louise.

Back in ye olden dayes, DNS propagation took up to 72 hours. Now it's minutes but I'm more impatient. "What? That took 10 minutes?! That's not acceptable!"

I think the only person who'd care about this is Brendan and he's dead but I found my Complete Old English book to teach myself Old English because why not? I also have the CDs so I can hear what it sounds like. Yay for nerds!

I'll go one step further: If you can, donate $3/mo to keep Wikipedia open. Even a one time donation helps. Wikipedians use reliable sources and information that Wikipedia has become a reliable source of information. I teach info lit on using the site responsibly. So, please. donate if you can!
I cannot do my usual donation this year due to job loss, so I hope others take a minute and donate next time they open the site instead of just closing the box.
I take Wikipedia for granted. Reading this Jimmy Wales interview reminded me in our Fantasyland age what a remarkable and important creation it is. True pillar of civilization. Runs on only $200 million a year. Requires our support. So I’m finally donating. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/m...

*bangs head on desk repeatedly* Yet another plugin WooCommerce doesn't play nice with, EVEN THOUGH IT IS ONE RECOMMENDED BY THEM. Which means, NGI's store has been down all day. So, that's great.

If you're doing some shopping today, don't forget to swing by Williams Sonoma.

They have got this lovely reversible meat tenderizer that I'm sure will make a great gift.
