The Gremlin was very good for the vet today, though they did confirm that she is a bit chunkier than she should be.

Fully half of being a beader/jeweler is just sorting through a stack of small tupperware boxes with even smaller compartments in them. Or sorting things INO/OUT OF those boxes when you get new stock in.

As much as these federal gov't cuts suck now, it's going to be salt in the wound when the Dems ever get power back and just... leave them in place.

Do you wanna know who I think one of the best #SFFartists is who doesn't get as much love as she deserves? Karen Ann Hollingsworth. She doesn't have social media but she makes amazing art and is a fantastic human being.

The cat caught another mouse. This is either 4 or 5 (I think mice 3 & 4 were the same one that just snuck back in thru the garage). I captured the poor thing under a bowl and took it out to the woodpile and it scampered off intact (afaict).

I deleted those posts bc they got a massive spotlight that I'm not really comfortable with. This is not a retraction, just an attempt to not gain notoriety for a snarky post I didn't expect to get any traction. I have work to do that's more important than a personal beef.

Gonna try to periodically pick one (1) room in the house to deep clean in a weekend w/my wife to keep things in check and purge extraneous Stuff. This weekend is the master bath (and the related shelves in the linen closet).

Guy wrapping up his demo game in the playspace: here's the extra stock for your shelf! Me [examining the art]: oh, cool, who'd you get for the art? Guy: oh, we used AI. Me: [silence] Guy: ...but we're looking to hire real artists! Yeah, I'm not endorsing that to customers. #FriendlyLocalGeekGal

Want to tell the public what US government workers actually do, vs. the propaganda spewed by DOGE? This incredible website, "We the Builders," is asking for first-person testimonials from government workers about their actual jobs, and how they make the government work. www.wethebuilders.org

Looking at dogs on PetFinder (we've been idly keeping an eye out for a dog for a while, bc Twilight needs a companion, and I miss having dogs) and LOOKIT THIS FACE:

I feel like I was super awkward and off my game all night at work tonight. Some days I just want a do-over on all human interactions.

Ideas are so cheap we literally give them away! Writers fart out great ideas as threads on platforms we don't own because we will never get through all the ideas we have. The work is the hard part. Grit is rare. Work on your idea or chuck it; do not involve me or any other writer in that process.

Also I made a political solicitor's WHOLE DAY today when she knocked on our Pride flag-bedecked door (which she complimented) and I told her that yes, everyone in this house is registered to vote, we'll be voting blue, & that--

I broke my rule about online shopping in bed, but in my defense, I keep running out of bandanas and they're not THAT expensive...

The Duality of thrift stores. This morning I went to The Dig and Save, which is kind of a thrift store outlet where you can buy things like all this fabric for $1.50 a pound. And then I went to Agrace Thrift which is one of the most comfortable and best organized thrift stores I've ever been to

Sorted out the last of some business tax nonsense which was stressing me out, but the phone support guy pointed out a VERY SIMPLE toggle I had missed on my first go-round that made me feel very stupid. But it's done, so fuck it.

It might hurt my bottom line, but I’m probably going to stop posting art to Twitter entirely and I suggest you do too. Not only is the site actively putting a “Okay, now remix this” button below art (and elevating them above the OP with a QRT) and it’s false flagging original art as made by AI.

Marginalized people have been urging us to understand that we have to be uncomfortable (not "upset" or "sad" - UNCOMFORTABLE) to cause meaningful change forever. By the very nature of it. And until enough people understand and act on that, here we still are.
