Here's the plan!

Starting next week I will have my shit together.

Today is my mom's birthday so I'm spending most of the day hanging out with her.

I'm also trying to tweak some stuff with my setup (I think I finally figured out the audio stuff? Amazing.)

I WILL be streaming tomorrow! For more than 2 hours! We'll do our usual (ha) Friday Co-Work and then after that we'll figure something out. Some kind of games most likely.

I'm sorry I've been so sporadic. I'm getting it figured out. See ya tomorrow.

New Book Review!

Bookshops & Bonedust by Travis Baldree.

I do have to say this is quickly becoming one of my favorite series of books.

If you're looking for a cozy, low-stakes read, give these books a chance.

Reading Club Wednesday!

We will be streaming per usual today but it's going to be a late afternoon/evening stream, not 100% on timing yet.

I'm absurdly tired for some reason and having a lot of trouble waking up right now, so I'm moving start time to later in the day when I'll be a little more awake.

Stay tuned!

Oh, okay. I see. You think this has nothing to do with you. You go to your closet and you select out, oh I don’t know, that gaslight gatekeep girlboss meme, for instance, because you’re trying to tell the world that you think modern feminism has been co-opted by corporations. But what you don’t know is that that meme is not from Instagram, it's not from Twitter, it's not from Tiktok, it’s actually from Tumblr. You’re also blithely unaware of the fact that in January 2021, Tumblr user missnumber1111 posted, "today's agenda: gaslight gatekeep and most importantly girlboss." And then I think it was a-m-e-t-h-y-s-t-r-o-s-e, wasn’t it, who reblogged it with an image of the phrase edited over a piece of "Live, Laugh, Love" wall art? And then gaslight gatekeep girlboss showed up in the feeds of eight different Twitter repost accounts. Then it filtered down through Instagram and then trickled on down into some tragic “alt side of Tiktok” where you, no doubt, fished it out of some clearance bin. However, that meme represents millions of notes and countless Tumblr users and so it’s sort of comical how you think that you’ve made a choice that exempts you from Tumblr when, in fact, you’re wearing the meme that was selected for you by the people in this room. From a pile of “stuff.”

Not entirely sure what time I'll be streaming today, may be a late one. I have a few things to take care of first.

That being said, things are a little up in the air right now, so I'm not going to commit to a specific stream time right now, but I am committing to 3x a week at least. I'll keep ya posted but hopefully I can get things nailed down soon!

just saw pride and prejudice 2005 in the theatre for the rerelease & the audience erupted into cheers at the hand flex scene like it was a fucking avengers movie. sometimes this world is okay

[geekygachapon]

We will be streaming today!

I'm just not sure what time.

I stayed up until 1am finishing "Number One Chinese Restaurant" by Lillian Li (very good, highly recommend) and got a very late start this morning.

I think we're gonna do another art stream and/or gaming today. If I try to do a reading stream I can pretty much guarantee I'll fall asleep.

I'll pop back in with an update in an hour or two as to what time I'll be live. See ya later!
