aaaaaaaaaahhhhha

Oh thank God I'm not the only person who remembers that "Sheila" was likely Andy. (I looked for a post about it to back me up but couldn't find it)

And it's twice now that there's been a thing circulating on Tumblr that's like "aww isn't this wholesome?" and I'm like "no that is a con artist/cult leader and this is part of his MO."

Re: your question about your lease (assuming you are in the U.S.) I would HIGHLY recommend looking at your individual state laws. Depending on where you live, there may be good free resources (I would search "housing law help [your state/city]"). Housing law varies GREATLY state by state, so even if you can't get individualized advice (best case scenario), it's still a good practice to make sure you are looking in the right places. (Many places have a lot more or a lot less legal protections for tenants than you might expect - especially if your landlord is frequently doing shady-seeming stuff, it's definitely worth your time to check out.)

Yeah, I will be doing that. I am at least fortunate to work at a university with a large and well-regarded law school, and it would be surprising if they didn't have a legal aid clinic or other resources. (If worse comes to worse, my dad is also a lawyer, though no longer active/practicing.) Believe me, I am going to be investigating options and making sure that everything is EXTREMELY legit before I sign ANYTHING. Because yes, the management at this place is Bad, and if moving was financially feasible, I would. But you know, it's not. So.

Anyway, I will also be checking into several different resources and making sure my bases are covered, whether via the law school or local housing aid or whatever. Sigh.

There is one (1) country in the world. We all know this.

I feel like every time someone just blanket assumes I'm American, I should give them my kofi and demand reparations for the psychic damage.

"ORDER: Defendant was directed to refile his ex parte Motion for Protective Order 77 without the ex parte designation by 4/3/2026. Instead, Defendant refiled the same 80 motion, ex parte, on 4/5/2026. Defendant is directed to refile the motion on the public docket by 4/7/2026. So Ordered by Magistrate Judge Lara K. Eshkenazi on 4/6/2026."

i just can't

(yes he did eventually refile it today)

oh, he's MAD mad about the request for full access to his discord, lmfao.

The plaintiff also got the extension to respond to his request for order of protection so that should be fun when it comes in.

You doing okay? Just noticed a theme in your reblogs today and would have felt weird not to check in. (Sorry if this is not welcome!)

I'm good! I appreciate the check in!

One of my posts escaped containment and when that happens and I get a bunch of new followers I reblog the old rants as a kinda shooting to keep rent down measure.

For the ask game:

#6 (what's your go-to recipe when you want to make something that requires minimal effort?) and #23 (what's the coolest place you've visited?)

6. Finals Week Tacos:

Beef mince (which you bought at the beginning of the week meaning to make burgers or meatballs and forgot about it because LIFE)

Frozen veggies (usually peas and carrots because they're the cheapest but anything will work)

Cheese (because of course)

Tortillas (of the "that's what we have" variety)

Left over rice (if you have it and wish to make this more into fried rice tacos)

Brown your mince and take out your frustrations by beating the shit out of it with a wooden spoon. You can add spices, if you have them. I was a broke college student when I mastered this, so I didn't. If you want a good spices hack, buy Japanese curry powder, it's a great spice bomb. Gara masala is also great for a "I need FLAVOR" lifesaver.

Add your frozen veggies once the meat is sufficiently brown or you're tired of stirring. Then stir some more. (Sorry.) The veg will steam into doneness as it defrosts. Stir until it reaches your prefer level of done. If it has become mush you might want to pivot hard into spaghetti sauce and drop a can of tomato sauce onto this mess to try and salvage it. Veg is meant to have some crunch to it, don't be scared.

Shred cheese atop mess of veg and beef. Turn down heat so cheese melts instead of burns. Stir into sticky mess.

Turn off the heat.

Grab a tortilla and spoon mixture into it.

Make taco.

Eat standing while trying to decipher the garble mess you call notes.

Live another day!

23. One of my favorite museums in the world is the Hermitage museum in Russia. It has such an astounding collection, it's nuts. The entire history of the museum is fascinating. I got the chance to visit back in 2012, it was an incredible experience.

I'm so sorry people are being nasty in your inbox.

​No worries, love!

TBF, I did piss off a grand contingent of TERFs last month so they've also been writing essays in my inbox.

I don't really read/engage with anon hate, because I'm just. Not available for that. So I just delete most of it on reflex. But it does make me procrastinate answering actual asks from people so I make a habit to say when I've cleared the inboxes.

Because it's a task! And I completed it! 'cause I'm a badass like that. :P

I don't go here, but it looks like what you would get if you managed to make fencing chest protector style armor for like, M-sized boobs. And then vacuum-sealed the protector on b/c elastic straps aren't THAT effective.

​Yeah, her shirt is definitely vacuum-sealed on. It's just.

I like her character! I like the overall design (ie, colors, shapes, etc). It's just.

Her tits, man.

Her stupid fucking booty shorts.

This is specially jarring because I just finished XCDE and that game was fucking beautiful. Gorgeous all around. I'm still not sure how all of this is in continuity. I'm like four years late on the boob memes. But DAMN. THEM BOOBS.
