2024s

“sorry I’m late, Harris announced her VP pick right as I was getting dressed” is the most obnoxiously DC excuse possible, AND YET

watching the men’s gymnastics final and yelling “PARKOUR!!” every time someone launches themselves into the air

God it continues to kill me that the updated covid vax always comes out too close to DragonCon to do any good. I’ve given up on ever going back; I just Do Not want to be around 80k other people for 5 days with an outdated shot in my arm, no matter how much masking + filtration I also do.

RIP Tardigrade the Sourdough Starter, 2020-2024 😭I don’t know if it was bad flour or what, but a few mold spores got in and do what mold spores do best. Funeral rites to take place by the compost pile.

(I joke, but I am legit SO SAD about this. My lockdown buddy!!! My lil pandemic Tamagotchi!!!!)

God, I am so angry about so many things re: my old job, but the way it poisoned my favorite hobby for this long ranks pretty high up there!!

I have absolutely failed at keeping up with most social media the past couple months, and once again realized how much better my brain feels when I’m not doomscrolling 24/7.

Might see about continuing the trend. (Or just crossposting blog updates here and ignoring the rest.)

guess who started watching MASH for the first time ever

guess who already has a raging intellectual crush on Hawkeye

(GUESS WHO CONTINUES TO HAVE A TYPE)

okay, all the domain transfer hiccups have been sorted out, SO: the non-carrd fanbinding website is live! excineribusbooks.com

now i just… have to start bookbinding again so i have stuff to post there……

patiently twiddling my thumbs as i wait for bluehost to let me transfer my domains, but soon – SOON – the fanbindings will have their own website too and not just a carrd!! (my blog domain is also down atm as i shuffle things around. pardon my dust. not that there’s much posted there, lol)

just thought up the most curséd DC way to describe my gender:

“nonbinary but caucuses with women”

nooooooo the political texts from North Carolina have started again [WEEPS]

I have never lived in NC. Years ago, some chucklehead made a typo in their phone number while signing up for ActBlue stuff, and now the entire NC Democratic Party texts me nonstop during election years.

I’m not a Swiftie by any stretch, but a couple friends and I just watched the Eras tour film as an anthropological thing, and I regret to inform everyone that you might get Yet Another Goddamn Post About Taylor Swift Discourse from me in the next couple days.

heart and soul of a theater kid, neurochemistry of a nervous, shaking chihuahua

There’s a walking trail close enough to work that I’ve begun taking dumb little walks for my stupid mental health on my lunch break

I regret to inform you that once again, it is in fact helping my stupid mental health (even if it also means I have to scarf down my lunch in 10-15 minutes)

FYI, if y’all have been following the Hugos fiasco, “Babel” is on sale for $1.99 today: www.kobo.com/us/en/ebo… (Also on Kindle, I just grabbed the Kobo link bc that’s my ereader of choice)

Yes, I’m sad a wooden #capybara I got off Etsy turned out to be from a dropshipper, but I can’t be TOO sad because it also came with a dozen tiny objects I can perch on its head.

Someone survived the indignities of the home vet, BUT ONLY JUST, and now contemplates either murder or snuggles. She’ll decide in a moment. 🐈

OKAY THERE WE GO. Still fiddling with the actual cryptidsandcapybaras domain, but I’ve shifted 95% of my stuff to micro.blog. Shouldn’t be much change on the frontend, but it’ll make it WAY easier to scatter anything I want to share to the four thousand corners of the internet. I hope.
