Client: Roxy! How's it going? Me, in a threatening tone: Tell your brother I say "meow!" Client: Haha, okay. [Two days later his brother shows up for an appointment, not with me.] Him: Roxy, joon! Meow! [I'm getting men in their mid 60s to deliver and reply to meow messages.]

Today a client told me I have glowing, nice skin. And my hair is great. But really I should cut it shorter, to my shoulders. And also I should wear some makeup. And, you know, get new clothes. And I'm pretty, but those changes would make people see it, unlike now. [external screaming]

Reason #748 why my mom's cooler than yours: As a 73 year old white lady she admitted she calls 10 senators a day to leave voicemails about the shit state of the country due to trump, and also kinda turned it into crank calls by putting on a southern accent and persona for southern states.

Someone in my Buy Nothing group asked for a tea set and I offered one... Not realizing she meant English tea set, and yeah. Oops. Cultural differences.

Oh no. The horror. Not me disengaging from yet another long time client because they are fraudulently using COVID funds. Definitely not. This isn't now a regular thing. Nope. They don't cry and say how unfair it is for me to drop them while never thinking twice about the fraud. Nah.

Ma: The podiatrist offered a lymphedema wrap, and I looked it up and it's not uncommon for them to do but I don't know. Me: Do they offer fries with that? [cue my mother laughing for probably two straight minutes. She laughed so hard she cried, then said "and people wonder how we talk so much!"]

I'm an accidental genius. Made a dnd character a foreigner. Common is her second language, in which she is verbally fluent but illiterate. Ancient scroll? She shrugs and tosses it over her shoulder. Carved doorway? Kinda pretty. Cursed engraved jewelery? Pockets it to sell. Can't read the curse.

A client asked me, because my car is an old hybrid, "aren't you thinking of electric? Maybe a tesla?" I replied "I don't want a swasticar" and her whole face changed as she tried not to laugh, and then just nodded and called it a good name.

Did I do good with snacks, @sumfatkid.bsky.social? I'm not watching the game, but I am hoping to have a celebratory root beer later tonight 😁

I really really need you guys to make a conscious rejection of generative AI tools part of your ongoing political resistance. Don't use ChatGPT. Turn off Gemini. Don't read the AI results forced upon you at the top of Google search. Don't use AI art generators or support anyone who does. Please.

When I changed my phone yesterday they texted my mom a permissions request. They guy was stumped. I'm the account holder. I suggested it's because mom's number is older. Me: It was my high school number. I gave it to her when I left for school so I'd always know her number. Two older women: AWWWWW

NOOOOOOOOOO I finally upgraded my phone after eight years and all my tabs are gone 😭😭😭

I did something incredibly unusual and missed DnD last Saturday, but I'm so very excited to get back to playing Penny Arrabiata this weekend. Yes, I brought what's essentially South Philly Italians to DnD.

My friend Omid’s cookbook has arrived! I can't wait to try out a few recipes. @thecaspianchef.bsky.social

Sometimes you choose to be extra nice and allow a third car to get in front of you in traffic. And then that car has a giant godzilla sticker on the back, and you realize you just helped your own people 😍😍😍

Part of the joy in DnD is fantasy, so in addition to my normal escapist dump stats, I include common sign language for all my characters. I wanted to learn to sign in real life but don't have the range of motion in my hands. Fantasy accommodation for one disability via fantasy lack of another.

Feeling a bit embarrassed, as my song for The Curse of Strahd musical happened today and the guys liked it so much they asked me to share the link to the game channel so they could pin it in discord. I'd planned to delete it after they heard it. Oh well 😅

Already finding folks using the collective royal "we" to shame me on this site for saying innocuous things, so yeah. It's going as I expected.
