Gyah, whatever this stuff Amanda and I have is, I want a refund. One day you feel better, thinking the worst is over, yippie! Then you wake up suddenly feeling like a reheated burrito that’s hot on one end and frozen on the other. (It’s also past its “best by” date...by at least a decade.) 1/2

Conceivable! (No, really, I would totally watch the hell out of this. Bonus points if he does the Grand Nagus laugh.)

I'm actually kind of jealous of this little feller's sheer amount of chill. #catsofbluesky #kitties #toebeans

Depression and anxiety suck even when it isn't apocalypse season. BUT! I'm still here, and that's something. (Please hang in there, y'all. We need each other right now more than ever.)

Is there was a scale, with a handy needle, I'd say... why isn't it moving? On the plus side, there's cats. Oh, there, it jiggled a little.

Listen, it's not doomscrolling, it's just flirting with oblivion

𝐸𝑎𝑟𝑙𝑖𝑒𝑟... ME: Hey, babe! I’m back from the store! I picked up a couple of cans of mixed veggies, and two boxes of… BRAIN: 𝑊𝑒’𝑟𝑒 𝑠𝑜𝑟𝑟𝑦, 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑑 𝑦𝑜𝑢’𝑟𝑒 𝑡𝑟𝑦𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡𝑜 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑐ℎ, “𝐾𝑙𝑒𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑥,” 𝑖𝑠 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑐𝑢𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑙𝑦 𝑖𝑛 𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑑𝑎𝑡𝑎𝑏𝑎𝑠𝑒. 𝑃𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑒 ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑔 𝑢𝑝 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑡𝑟𝑦 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑡ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑎𝑔𝑎𝑖𝑛. ME: ...Schnoz Blowers.

Amanda got sick, then I got sick, and now we’re 𝑏𝑜𝑡ℎ sick—but the cats report they feel perfectly fine, thanks for asking, now would someone please feed them second breakfast?

Gettin' a bit too real there, Night Vale.

Sentry Kindness. Gentleness. Empathy. These things are fires shining in the forest night. They must be tended, but in tending them we are illuminated. We become a target for things that thrive in darkness. So, as ever, love is risk. And, as ever, worth the danger.

Having a bit of a “can’t sleep/emotional breakdown” tonight, and I think the cats are taking turns watching me. They always know.

The AMA has a YouTube page where you can catch up on all the fun, ongoing TB & bird flu outbreaks, since the CDC is no longer allowed to do that: youtube.com/watch?v=HlPB...

Excuse me, sir...Sir? I would very much like to sit down please, sir. Oh, so now I’M the monster. #catsofbluesky #furrylittledude #iwanttositdownplease

Oh, so my taxes can pay for a White House Faith Office, but can’t fund universal healthcare or free school lunches?

Every once in a while, I suddenly remember I still haven’t seen “Blade Runner” (any version), and I really need to get on that, but then I see something shiny and completely forget to watch it for another decade.

As am I. (Along with many, many others.)

I was led to believe by R.E.M. that I would feel a lot better about this.

Apparently, 𝑀𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑊𝑜𝑟𝑙𝑑 is currently ranking in the top 100 fiction podcasts on Apple podcasts…somehow? (At least according to this random email, which only sounds 𝑚𝑜𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑙𝑦 sus as per my normal paranoia.) Okay, cool, cool. I'll go with it. #podcasts #cryptids #audiofiction #OMGBIGFOOTISREAL

Wishing a most blessed Imbolc to those who celebrate! May this be a reminder that light still shines from the darkness.
