Just got a 15 minute ban from Overwatch competitive because my power tripped, so to pass the time I made this little video showing the layers of my most recent thumbnail. 🥰 It's kinda fun to watch it build up from the background and see all my hidden sins. 🤭 (no audio soz)

I just saw a comment on yesterday's episode that there were way too many ads. THANK YOU to that person! 🥰 The culprit was YT's auto ad system which enables by default. I always put ads about 7 mins apart, and everyone else at the channel is similar. Look at the difference! 😱

It's wild how often my commute is this heckin' rainy. 😍😮 Is it weird that I enjoy it? I'm kinda dubious about the hazards people use, though. It disables their turn signals. 🫠 (I have AWD, decent tires for rain, and a widened stance, but I was 10mph under the speed limit myself.)

They don't look like much, especially full screen, but goooood gravy do these Survive the Nights thumbnails take hours of effort. I'm pretty proud of tomorrow's! 🥰 Thanks to @violetfox.bsky.social for spending over an hour helping me get shots for it.

A bit of a zoom in

(I used the 800x600 copy of the photo from 2009 on my FB profile to make this. I'll leave it here.)

Wayyyy back, I used to paint my face with acrylics and take self portraits. This specific time, from 17 years ago, has always stuck with me for symbolic reasons... and also because it was kinda pretty... and my hair kinda looked like P!nk's in my head. 🤭🥰

Me just moments after being called @violetfox.bsky.social's mother. 💀 "Hey could you open the gate for me? Oh nevermind, your mom's got it!" 🤣

GUYS 🤣 WTAF IS HAPPENING on Twitter? Do you see this translation??

I'm SO wet y'all. 😂 Another morning of pressure washing and another morning of questioning why my makeup has better color stay than any of my leather eye patches do. 🤭💦

I gave myself legitimate Heat Exhaustion before 10am today. It's THAT hot n humid y'all. 🥵 It's 7 hours later and I'm still just a puddle napping in a hat. 🤣 I had been appeasing the HOA by pressure washing my house. Got 1 side done at least! But you know what?

For the curious:

PSA: It's HAAWWWT out here, y'all! If you're a madlass like me and you're out mowing in this 104°F (40°C) heat index, or if you don't have a choice but to be outside, remember to be safe! Drink as much water as you can, take as many breaks as you can, pace yourself, and don't forget electrolytes.

Hope y'all had a good 4th! 🥰 I did, but I forgot to take pictures. 🤣 I also continued my somehow-unbroken lifelong winning streak at Pretty Pretty Princess (a kids' game of pure chance). Someone was deffffinitely vying for my throne, though. 😉

My good friend Jack has been through a hell of a year. Anything you guys can do to help is extraordinarily appreciated. At 25, he already has one of the kindest, most gentle souls I have ever met. I love him and his partner dearly. Any help you can spare means the world. 🙏🏻 gofund.me/977b6bcd7

gosh i just wish my cat pancakes could learn to relax 🤭

I told him I'm pretty different now; that he should be prepared. Then I candidly sent him this video. Left on "read" since yesterday. I'm proud of myself regardless. You should be, too. I don't post this for sympathy, but to inspire. Happy Pride Month y'all. 😎🌈

I drove a few towns over to replace a friend's car battery for him today. 🥰 In the process ended up with yet another selfie working on a car in the wrong clothes. 😆 Today was the black glasses and burnt yellow dress. 😏

I really do love these owls that come by every night and choke on dog toys by the sound of it.

Y'all I get to date the coolest person. 🥰

I also included the type of neat little thing I always make for myself but never even save or share. Figured I might as well since I like it. Pixel frog and wildly un-white-balanced frog hehe. 🥰

We saw our first tree frog of the season last night, and OH my goodness was she photogenic. She jumped to all of these spots and struck all of these poses herself! A lot of neat interactions between color, texture, light, and my camera sensor in these.

HAAAYLP! 🫪😆 Y'all I have a cat piss situation with the Dee Dee half of my Dexter LaMelos. Got any suggestions?

Had a picnic with this young lady while taking a break from work today. 💖🐿️ She didn't have the best table manners, but a lot of her friends were eating straight off the floor.

It was soooo humid yesterday. 🤣 Anyway I wore bright warm colors because it was a cloudy rainy day. 🥰 Feeling like 37 is gonna be my year and I wanna shine. My phone has no idea what color my dress is.

Screenshots of Vein can be so surreal that I essentially can jump crop in and bump up the contrast for a thumbnail. 🤭

Hey neat look! Do y'all remember when I had my custom ivy eye patch made? The seller has had multiple requests for it since then, so she's turned it into a full listing with me as the cover photo! 🥰

Vi found my car's electric sister! I had to run outside and take the same photo of my own. 😆

I had such an unexpectedly great birthday y'all. 🥹 I spent a long evening with a ton of my lovely friends and had so many wonderful conversations. 🥰 @neebsgaming.bsky.social When the restaurant staff came out singing, I was clapping along thinking it was for someone else! 🤣

On Thursday evening our dear sweet girl Gypsy passed away. 💔 My heart is shattered. She was the most serene yet stubborn doggo I've ever had. And I loved her. She deserved better than me, but we were loyal to each other to the last. Drinking to her memory tonight for my 37th.
