Colonial era town on the 250th strikes again.

Even the lattes are Revolutionary War themed.

Jeeeeesus

Today my fingers have decided to spell it "quire" instead of "choir." REPEATEDLY.

When you're a hearing person and you touch type at the speed of speech/reading, your fingers get caught up in homophones. It's because you're thinking in whole words and sounds rather than letters.

It's such a weird wires crossing thing.

#it's muscle memory mixing with aural memory

BBQ so hot you lose a finger.

#seen in the nabe #sorry 4 quiet I'm on day 4 of migraines

My family is...

My aunt sent a message to my sister instead of me to tell me "Happy birthday, I had a stroke 6 months ago and am in an assisted living facility, my number is still the same."

#when i tell people my family dynamic was and is complex... they realllllly don't get it

GPOY, etc.

#what a weird age to be #utterly useless number

Last day of being this age.

It was a shitty year! Full of real bad!

I don't particularly want to move onto the next year, but I'm definitely not wanting to repeat this one and there's no other option that doesn't cost a lot of money and wildly inconvenience my loved ones.

So, onwards, I guess. Yay!

#the train trip was good #i need to go to a tiny island somewhere #a place where my only job is to nap in a cabana #my brain has been going through it. yours probably has to

Investors of a purportedly "five-star" bunker in rural South Dakota, called Vivos xPoint, are already at each others' throats.

#it's hilarious that a bunch of people who are essentially anti community are finding community... difficult.

Blarrrrgh. I spoke at a town board meeting during the public comment time, and I think I'm about to get quoted in the "big" regional paper. 😩

(An 18-month moratorium on data center proposals is not nearly enough. 3 years should be the *bare minimum* and a full ban is the ideal. 18 months is just acknowledging that your constituents noticed something shady.)

#same ratio of normies to absolute space aliens as with NYC city council public testimony #i can't believe i used to transcribe all that #I'm glad i did it but doubt there will be results #also BlueAnon/Blue MAGA is... wow #like there ARE other issues than the files yanno. focus on the local. cuz town board is local.

Turkeys woke me up this morning. A gang of goddamn turkeys gobbling right underneath my window at 30-second intervals at 6 a.m.

THESE BIRDS ARE A GODDAMN MENACE.

#stupidest loudest most aggressive creatures in existence

I think it's good to remember that Steve Jobs at one point insisted on NO COOLING FANS in Apple computers.

Anyway.

Tech geniuses do dumbass shit all the time, just like everybody else, and there is NO reason to not push back when something being rolled out is very obviously bad and/or dangerous.

#i mean. let's leave out the horrible behavior.#which is more common than not in any position of power #sometimes decisions and products are just... bad!

I NEED LIBRARIES TO MAKE THEIR "MEET BABY ANIMALS" EVENTS OPEN TO ALL AGES.

(full caps shouty)

#i should not have to birth a human in order to meet baby animals #i just wanna meet 'em!!!

Lol. All the people who are pissed that our funding proposition didn't pass are showing up today. That's a bonus, I guess.

Also, a dad and daughter just spent about an hour and a half playing through our video game exhibit together, and it might be the sweetest thing I've ever seen.

We're also about to get more big media coverage. Basically, it's kinda "What asshole doesn't wanna pay $34 a household for unlimited access to a cultural institution that betters their community?"

#magas don't want to #and it's purely about spite not money #between a.i. leaders and maga... cults are coming at both my jobs and it's the worst!

I meant to bake cookies for my museum people yesterday, but stuff happened and the day got away from me.

"Stuff Happened and the Day Got Away From Me" is the subheading of my memoir.

Also, are any of you watching Widow's Bay? Because it's freaking great. Not a single false step so far and an absolute murderers' row of a cast. Best series I've seen a long, long time.

#it's filled with the working actors who have kept the industry afloat #the kind of people you're psyched to see on screen #like women character actors and OLDER women character actors? amazing. what a concept.#K Callan brings me such joy always

Tuned into NPR for a second and heard a kid say, "So this is my game, 'Turtle Catastrophe,'" and yes. YES. Give this child all of the money.

#the kidz are so much cooler and more fun than we ever were

Not looking forward to going to the museum this week. Our funding proposition didn't pass. Which means we now know we're located in a school district that doesn't care if we close.

It got really ugly. And yes, there was a campaign against the prop headed by a group of MAGA dads. They literally went around stealing our signs.

The museum is part of why property values in that area are high and it's considered one of the best places to live in the region.

We asked for $34 a year. In return each household would get a family membership ($100 a year normally, free admission to the museum & all events, discounts on trips), the school district would no longer have to pay for field trips, and we'd be able to extend our hours and do repairs.

"I don't use the museum."

"They're rich."

"I can't even go to the movies now." (Incidentally, membership includes free passes to all our film screenings, *and* local film festival passes.)

And literally... "Fuck museums."

Angry isn't the word for what I am, and neither is disappointed. I feel pretty badly for people who can't recognize a community good. I don't understand people who don't get the value of history and art. And I am disgusted by people who would deny others a good simply because they don't use it themselves.

#fuck them kidz and vets and memory care programs and family days and money brought in to the community I guess #it'll be nice if still have a job this time next year

Not me, counting down the minutes until "Peak" electricity hours (when they basically do surge pricing) are over and I can turn the ACs on again.

#you're killin' me smalls #smalls is the power company

I need you to understand what a good girl she was at the vet yesterday. You'd think she was the world's most chill bunny instead of the total scaredy cat she is.

We are watching a potential mouth issue, so we go back in a month for a quick status check. But she's showing no signs of any discomfort and is otherwise her normal "I'll claw your face off if you don't give me treats" self.

Maybe she was more chill because I used her security blanket on the table instead of going with the towel the vet puts down.

Also. Our vet is retiring next year and the closest rabbit savvy vet is 45 minutes away at the emergency animal hospital. Sigh.

So smol. Such needs.
