Guys, they were okay with khashoggi Of course they’re okay with this

As I have said before the second Trump Administration is like watching a remake version of what we have seen in Turkey for the past two decades, but all playing out faster and stupider.

So, something I’ve been thinking about lately is that it’s really unrealistic that we don’t get more repeat names in Star Trek for aliens. Like let’s meet another Spock. He’s super annoyed (in a Vulcan way) to have the same name as the famous guy, but it’s an old family name. And he’s an accountant.

I just woke up from a dream where I was in some kind of public speaking class and I had to give a speech about someone’s life and I was going to talk about Shatner. 😂 I know hardly anything about him, so my brain was just making up all kinds of stuff about him. I was also in trouble in that class.

I spent an hour marking the flosses that I have on that sample card thing based on that inventory paper I have, so I’ve been saying all those DMC numbers in my head, so when I looked at the time just now, I read it like that…eight hundred thirty nine. (Instead of 8:39.) Do I have that color?? 🙃

No matter how many times I see it, I really don’t understand the whole “don’t share a story about yourself in response to what I said” thing. Like, doesn’t that make for extremely boring conversations? “This thing happened to me!” “Oh cool.” Silent staring at each other. The end. What??

So. The two colors I have chosen look really cool on black fabric. 👀 I could start over and skip all the black cross stitches and use backstitch around all the parts that were black stitches. Also a lot of other colors look cool that way.

Maybe today I’ll do nothing but reread that manuscript that the editor is reading and break my own heart with both the story and the fact that surely it won’t sell.

I want to offer a prayer to the gentle God that watches over fangirls who are intensely obsessed over an obscure background/ancillary character in a popular film/franchise. May their fanfic have at least ten kudos, amen.

Nope! Still hate it all.

Star trek had a lot of hard lines over the years, but this remains the fucking hardest

Okay, what if the drop shadow is actually just gray, and then the backstitching that covers the rest of the canvas is several different colors? Maybe a rainbow selection or maybe several blues and purples like kind of space-y? Or something like a sunset? 🧐 Or even just one great statement color.

“Hide post for me“ and “Hide reply for me“ are such badass features here. I wish I had that in real life too.

Too much effort to scream. Just sighing.

As I’ve said before about where I used to live. Life goes on, it’s just that occasionally really bad things happen, probably not to you, but you’re more careful, because it could be you, if you’re not careful.

This is more-or-less what happened. 🤣

*screams into the void*

Behold! My beloved! They’re all so shiny. 😍 It’s like a pamphlet with five pages of colors.

What fun, a day of just creeping along on the edge of a panic attack. Joy.
