Thanks to everyone who gave advice on the Stardew Valley situation; By the sheer magic of pernicious fate, finally giving up hope and complaining about it resulted in the replacement sheet turning up on my doorstep this evening out of the blue (with no ship notice or anything). So I have them now!
I'm really sad that I bought Stardew Valley (the board game) and I'll probably never get to play it because it's missing an entire sheet of tokens and the manufacturer isn't responding to submissions for replacements.
Uuuuuugghh. I don't think I can go to the main Pride parade, which our whole weekend has been working toward. My foot injury is acting up, probably in the wake of the Trans March. :(
Trying to get a nice photo of your trans march outfit is difficult! (Mostly because I really need the whole floor-to-ceiling look, but also the small details, and those are at odds.)
If someone does something awful, call them out for their behaviour. If they happen to be fat and you lump that in with their behaviour, that's fatphobic and implies that you think being fat is comparable with whatever they did. Stop doing that.
I just watched the first episode of the Dead Boy Detectives and one of the things that jumped out at me is that the closet in their office, which is in the UK, is stuffed with board games, including multiple editions of Clue, but Clue is published as "Cluedo" in the UK.
Today's experiment: 60% corn juice, 40% water, 1 sachet of Crush pineapple flavouring.
Verdict: Very good. The watering-down is required for the proper consistency. The pineapple and corn flavours mix well, with pineapple being dominant.
Huh. There's a board game from 1804 called, "The new game of Emulation: Designed for the Amusement of Youth of both Sexes and calculated to inspire their Minds with an Abhorrence of Vice and a Love of Virtue". That's a catchy title!
The people in the room next to ours in this hotel have dogs. They've been barking nonstop since 7am or earlier. I'd really hoped for a relaxing sleep this morning.
Well, I'm leaving early tomorrow for Fredericton, returning mid next week. My mental state has been pretty bad lately, so my goal for this trip is pretty much just to keep my shit together. I guess I'll see y'all later.
Enjoying sapphic media is hard when you're desperately enamoured of someone you shouldn't be and you want to send them every artwork of femmes kissing and tell them they're the most beautiful thing in the world but instead you just don't.
I met some people today! I'm not even sure who all everyone was! But they were really cool. :) Meeting people is the bomb.
(Like, I know who they were, but I don't know how to connect that with identities on social media.)
@little-lizzie.bsky.social was there!
