Hubs first day of chemo was a nightmare. *sigh* So many nightmares these days.

If you make any kind of art and call yourself a "content creator" I will go angry mom on your ass so fast. "Content" is corporate pabulum. You make art. Call yourself an artist, hold your head up high, and don't help bean-counters and empty suits to degrade you. They'll do that on their own.

Did you catch the story about the Wayback Machine on CBS News Sunday Morning? 🌞 David Pogue chatted with @brewster.kahle.org about archiving the web, and the lawsuits from publishers & the recording industry that threaten our mission & your access to information. Watch: cbsnews.com/news/the-way...

The Wayback Machine, a time machine for the webcbsnews.com Because the web is ephemeral, the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine has made backups of websites continually since 1996, with nearly 900 billion pages preserved. But making books and music freely ava...

Days getting shorter after today.

People are so weird when they learn of my hubs cancer. One chucklefuck today said, "You'll be fine. I won't pamper you."

My husband will begin chemo this summer. Time for comfort food.

K, I'm a human. I have some talents, some abilities. BUT I ain't Simon Biles. She is incredible. INCREDIBLE!!!!

Saw my first (and hopefully only) cybertruck in the wild today. There's a hitch-thingy on the back that looked like it had been welded on by somebody's neighbor with poor eyesight. Fugly "car".

Truth. grrrrrrr.....

Creatives are constantly told there's so little demand for our work they can't employ or pay us, but they turn around and invent ways of harvesting our work to get it for free so they can make even more money without us. There's demand, and money, otherwise they wouldn't be doing it.

Officially sick of allergy season. Why don't the fecking billionaires do something useful and disrupt snot.

I cried during a Godzilla movie. Who even am I right now?! Good flick #GodzillaMinusOne

Big kitchen doings for this Saturday night...carnitas with pickled red onions and cilantro. Sangria FTW!

Late night munch: Momofuku TinglyWinglyNoodleThinglys with milk & cheddar cheese powder. Yeah I said that.

Mood.

I had no health insurance for a decade, before the ACA. You can't imagine what that life is like, if you've never lived it. Choosing between meds or power, meds or phone. Don't ever tell me the ACA wasn't a big deal or didn't accomplish anything.

It used to be, if you got diagnosed with something, then lost your insurance, you couldn't be insured again. "Pre-existing conditions." I'm glad folks don't remember. I'm glad this is ancient history. But there's a *reason* it was a big deal. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-exi...

New stance: artisanal eyebrows are not for me. Riot if you need to.

I have another stance; I hate Youtube face. All those thumbnails with goofy faces make me think very evil thoughts.

I have a stance. No glue in my pizza. Thank you.

The only valid thief is a magpie.

*snort!*

Oh yeah.

My favorite part of this meme is that someone stole it and slapped on “Writer” in place of artist. Poetic.

People who were repeatedly vaccinated for COVID-19 — initially receiving shots aimed at the original variant, followed by boosters and updated vaccines targeting variants — generated antibodies capable of neutralizing a wide range of SARS-CoV-2 variants and even some distantly related coronaviruses.

Watched "The Holdovers" tonight. A stellar quiet, lovely movie.

Tech bros really really suck.

Google's AI is literally trying to kill us.

*reads news* That's it. I need a dumpling night.

Disgusted.

Seeing this horrific Apple ad, I can't help thinking how we're destroying the humanities and arts at universities in order to force everyone into vocational majors like "marketing" where they'll learn to produce soulless crap like this. The replies are 100% negative. twitter.com/tim_cook/sta...

Been slowly painting and putting out mini mandalas into the world for people to find. No one has left a comment on the projects page @artinthewild.bsky.social but I do hope they are finding them!

Biscuits. Dry sawdust hockey pucks of death. No, your Grandma's recipe will not change my mind.

I don't blame the puppers.
