Not To Brag But I Feel Pretty Bad Right Now. In Reality, Things In My Life Are Going Completely Fine,

Encyclopedia Bullshitica is now for sale through Barnes and Noble!

The first facts-i-just-made-up book can now be purchased through Barnes and Noble here. It's still available directly from Lulu.com, where I get about $7 per copy, but but Barnes and Noble can order it to any of their stores if that's helpful or more convenient.

If you like the blog, please check it out!

Our sweet old man Mittens developed a clot in his hip, one that operating on had little chance to help him at all, and would guarantee lasting pain until he passed. My Mom and Sis decided that letting him go out in minimal overall pain, with them there at the vet, was better than putting him through a torturous surgery at his old age, so tonight is his last night.

This is a video I took of him a week or so ago, as well as two pictures, when he came to snuggle with me in my bed. Sweet old man despite his crankiness at everything. I'll miss you, Mittens, even if I don't really know how to show it well.

Sad post about sad things

How do you deal with tragic events? I took years to fully establish in my mind that my best friend had died, I still struggle to believe both my grandmothers are gone, and now our oldest cat looks to be dying, since something has gone wrong with his hips or leg or spine.

I had to hear my loving sister, sweet and strong thing that she is, break down sobbing because this is probably the end for him.

I'm mad he's hurt, upset he's in pain, upset he's likely going to die, and all I can really do is sit here and fail to express any of this beyond the text side.

How do I deal with emotions that I can't really express outwardly? I want to express them, I can feel them, but I can't seem to actually do it.

Pulling resources from the nearby dump was... Interesting. Signage indicated it was not only well guarded, but that it was routinely patrolled by workers and a public health agency. Despite that, nothing beyond wildlife moved past 9 pm local time. Useful to me, certainly, and I'm sure the owners of the dump will appreciate the fact it will soon be entirely stripped of all waste, leaving only their actual equipment and infrastructure intact, but probably concerning for the blatant misuse of funds and false advertising.

My first extractor won't do much, it can barely sort through a cubic meter in an hour. Thankfully it is both scalable and limited by my lack of resources, so I will be able to clean this site in a week at most, and start sending out mobile versions soon after.

What really has my attention, though, is the way my new senses interact with the cacophony of scents.

What I clearly remember was a noxious miasma of rot and filth is just... information, sensations and concepts I could never differentiate.

Here is a mass of good rot, almost usable for compost, save for the heavy metal tainting it. There is a cluster of oils, somehow having gotten into the main dump rather than the chemical disposal zone. Useful for me, being in the open like this, but it would have been a concern for the town in the future.

If only I could get some actual sun on my leaves, I'd be a happy abomination in a world unprepared, but instead I'm suffering under constant overcast skies. Despite being in the middle of Utah, of all places.

Ah, right, the salt flats. I should get a beacon nearby, salt is soo useful at almost every level of tech I can think of.

reblog with a spoiler for your wip with zero context. no context allowed.

Tailors can best judge the shape for a bra by making a trade in which they give up half their own cup size in exchange for “shinigami boobs” in which they can magically sense the breast size of their customers.

When calculating years, especially by dividing large numbers of hours, does anybody else divide by 365.25 instead of 365 to account for leap years automatically?

Or am I just being dumb/extra. I can't actually tell anymore.

I can see how someone might go "oh, a digital singer? That's just an AI, right?"

But calling our Wi-Fi waifu an AI is just rude.

Same for the other vocaloids. Beautiful beepboops.

I told a year seven friend I listen to Hatsume Miku and they asked why I would want to listen to an AI.

They aren't my friend anymore

My baby :)

in light of recent events i'd like to make it clear again that trans people, especially trans women, are extremely welcome on my blog and in my hockey community no matter what. i would welcome trans women on my team any day (and i would welcome them to be really good, too, not just limited to an "acceptable" standard of mediocrity/anonymity that seems to be one of the more common arguments for trans inclusion in women's sports). trans women are women, trans men are men, genderqueer and nonbinary people's genders are real, and everyone deserves respect and will find it with me.

stay strong everyone <3 i love you
