Whoever sent us the pair of lightbulbs, thank you! Amazon declined to let me know your name(s). And ... also made me aware I had only posted the 60w, which we needed one of, and not the 100w, which are the ones dying in the rest of the apt (they're about six years old). 60w ✅ thank youuuu
Okay, so three greens in, I'm being told i should: - live blog an entire thing - start a Patreon - call it A Glitzy Therapy (I am doing this part) - try a color besides green (I don't pick them!) But also still basically: green.
Digital diamond painting for OT sometimes turns into interesting conversations because I can only see part of the image at a time until it's done but often when asked I am also pretty early in the piece, like today ... "What are you coloring?" "Um, I dunno. Green?"
When you did stage lighting for so, so long and your spouse knows it's a part of you forever even if it's been as long since you haven't.
Well my dog and his friend are getting a lot of attention, so hi, we're dealing with 18 months of unemployment and can't make next month's rent. Venmo is @ruenicorn if you enjoy the dogs enough to toss mine $1! (Doing this makes me sick, I'm so sorry. If you want to give me a job instead, pls.)
Brought the dogs to my mom's while we have no good AC and she does. She's away until mid-July. We're cooling off.
#WIPSnips I'm surprised this was the first bit I could find with that word. Awkward that it's fanfic? Maybe. Awkward it's 78 characters too long? Definitely.
Can I please just get off the shit train yet. (Yes, that's my blind eye but still.)
Bad news: Jasper got heatstroke at the farmers market. Good news: We were a block from the vet. Better news: We got a Lyft Pet home that was driven by someone who drove like NASCAR elite and it was the quickest I've ever gone a half mile without speeding; no more hot pavement for Jasper!
Would anyone actually use something like this? If I made one that was more aesthetically pleasing/complex and sold it for $6 cheaper would it get any sales? What if I offered data entry and customization? (it's a Facebook ad)
Second only to @themerl.bsky.social is @riversideparknyc.bsky.social and their signage ...
This wasn't a very good tuck, but everyone said it was okay because he was hot and no one was sitting next to us. What it is is an excellent down-stay in a crowd!
Loud kids at the board game cafe are no match for Jasper. He's showing off how calm dogs roll (they don't, rolling is for play).
I wish I could actually read the story, GamesRadar!!! No text just a headline ...
I have a scary recruiter meeting to prep for and definitely needed the extra FACE, thank you Aleya! In case you need a snoot to press yours against, here is Jasper!
Genuine question for dogs (and maybe dog people): how is this comfortable? @jasper.dog isn't telling.
We have some cronchy dog treats, a couple nose boops and an ear scritch! How would those suit? Oh yes, and also PLAY. Jasper is happy to share.
Bonus: the lamp. See, it is not even a photo light. It is an IKEA reading lamp.
There are a couple more that are almost identical but the conclusion is this is the closest I can get to what I was going for. Photography! What a hobby!
This includes the part in which the dog moved while I was also moving the lamp
Rue adjusts a goddamn lamp over and over and over and still only sort of nails it, a series that concludes in the third post in the 🧵
He cleaned most of it up and then got distracted. I'm sure he will be back for the rest.
