This is how Sarah does cyclone prep: ... ...... No, Sarah - today is not the day to decide you want to start rereading "Les Miserables". ....ffs.

I dunno how someone can say that Good Friday is on 4 April 2025 not 18 April 2025 but here we are, three months later, and somehow I have to be the person to say it. πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ #coparentingroguelike

One more week in this acting role and I just want to curl up omg.

How the hell is Dragon Age Veilguard already free on PS Plus?

My work colleague sat in the car next to me today and said to me "You know, we all think you're doing great as team leader." After living through 2022-2023 in employment anxiety, believing my boss who nitpicked all my failures... I don't think I could express how much that moment today meant to me.

I was 22 and I had fallen into the lull between the N64 we acquired in 1997 and the Wii I bought in 2007. Dark times. Dark times. My gaming cred was swirling the porcelain.

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

Streetpass Main Theme 5 is the Carrie Bradshaw of Streetpass themes thank you for attending my TED Talk.

OH COME ON

Well shit.

Hi everyone I am currently three kobolds in a trenchcoat with academics and student alike throwing their crankiness my way. And I discovered this lovely little game called Dawnfolk. .... play Dawnfolk. πŸ’– store.steampowered.com/app/2308630/...

So this Warriors: Abyss game looks pretty neat! Then remember it's Koei Tecmo so of course I just saw the $120 Ultimate Edition....

Found out tonight that TG's dad calls my house "Castle Grayskull" because he thinks it is the scary castle where evil resides. But in canon, Castle Grayskull is actually a facade meant to frighten nasty intruders and protect a source of power and knowledge from the forces of evil. frickin' idiot.

I still really love Gritty, I love that when he was unveiled, Philadelphia was like, "What the fuck", the world replied, "Yeah, what the fuck" and then Philadelphia said, "Hey, don't you talk that way about our Gritty"

There have been so many damn small kindnesses that I have ensured I did this week and yes that includes listening to that one student for 40 minutes who wanted to go into extensive detail about their bush wees.

This weekend TG is determined to learn how to fish in Animal Crossing New Leaf. And I'm struggling like hell to help her understand the standing/casting/catching nuance. Figure if I just give her a quiet space so she can practice and listen, it might help? I dunno. πŸ€”

Jim Davis thinks we’re all stupid. Garfield first appeared in 1978. The normal lifespan of a cat is 13-20 years. He’s replaced Garfield, probably multiple times.

Just a quick post-in - I don't think I can begin to describe the last week except to say that I feel completely out of my depth on a lot at the moment and yeah maybe help? (The number of people I've said "I'm fine. I'm fine. I'll work it out" to is criminally high.) πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

Day 3 of being a big boss. Had a delightful boomer student call me unqualified because I'm female and reasonably said "if you return your thesis without the amendments required... we will send it back to you... to amend."

Day 2 of being a boss lady. University is still standing. I feel reassured that, if it burns down, anything we do in our team would be deemed too irrelevant to be the cause Therefore. CHAOS.

Hearing that the #FantasyLife sequel may be released on platforms other than just the Switch is such great news! It allows us to meta the game in new ways (going to love the Steam achievements/PSN trophies) and hopefully enjoy multiplayer a bit better too!

@bibbybhoy.bsky.social not enough.... eye candy..... kong.... πŸ˜‰

My article in @theguardian.com about how Peter Dutton uses the Jewish community as political footballs to spread bigotry, which makes us all less safe. Murdoch, you can’t stop me from calling out Dutton and the LNP for fueling racism! www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

My IG and Tiktok feeds are full of Balatro videos and nothing makes my heart heartier.

My next 6 weeks are the career equivalent of "Untitled Goose Game" so please enjoy the (barely tangentially related but still funny) analogy that justified my new office companion

As the cyclical temptation to defund the arts starts to rear its ugly head in coming months and years, remind anyone who will listen (especially those in power) about Covid and who we all turned to. Hint: It wasn't the politicians.
