@ellesu I think I probably made the right decision with him. Other than all these years of questioning why he thinks keeping ME is a good choice. But that just makes him laugh and hug me, so I don't think he's ever going to change his mind about that.

I got Sea Monkeys! I had some years ago, while married to my first husband. He poured them out. When I told my husband about that, he bought me the ones that have a little castle in their tank. I'm going to start setting things up tomorrow!

@promibro I'd check, but just doing that would make things collapse.

@whonat At least my humor isn't completely wasted!

@elmaxx Donatello's still the best.

When I say I "may and may not be catsitting for a guy named Schrödinger" and someone tells me I typed "may and may not" instead of "may or may not"... I just can't.

I've written an updated version of doing a divination reading based on the Litany Against Fear from "Dune". This one is focused on working with gaming dice.

Even I am impressed with my ability to continue taking "weird nerd" to new levels.

@JeniRizio Nos da, ffrind!

@ceruleanbagel Depending on region and ethnic culture, I can think of at least four ways "aunt" is pronounced in the US. I have no idea how it's pronounced in other English speaking countries.

@99reasons4truth Chilled canned asparagus. I was an adult before I found out I don't hate asparagus. I just hate chilled canned asparagus.

@arthurpendragon Yay for them! I always loved the science fair when I was in school!

@CLManussier Sanders is also more liberal. It's possible that makes him seem like an exception among younger voters. I also think the "Biden is too old" propaganda depends on people not checking ages and making those connections. Biden was Obama's VP. To younger voters, who possible didn't know about Sanders then, that can feel like "I was in middle school, so he must be really old".

The seasonal shift and my arthritis are not getting along. It's been weeks of "mostly okay as long as I don't try to do physical activity". Today, though! I have done three things that I had just been glaring at on my list! The things weren't super important, but they matter enough to need to be done and I'm glad I could do them.

@Jimclassic On the one hand, I'd say it's fine. On the other hand, we did reach a point where something was really wrong every time Archer gave in and gave him cheese. For Porthos and the whole galaxy, no cheese! It won't go to waste. I'll eat the cheese myself.

@Jimclassic Shh! For reasons I do not understand, most people act like Enterprise never happened. But between you, me, and George and Gracie's children (Voyage Home is the best movie. I will not be taking questions at this time.), Enterprise did happen and do NOT feed cheese to Porthos!

I have unpopular opinions because I love all Star Trek.

@lfrum While I was looking at this I found the page for looking up what Hubble captured on one's birthday. I'm going to be there a while. Thank you so much for sharing!

@SSNBubblehead I mean, the whole planet of Arrakis pretty much is a hot take.

It's okay...I'll go back to my corner now.

Sometimes it hurts when I have to explain to someone how I approach divination as a psychological tool for sorting through what you already know to be true and making decisions about action. It's exciting to explain to some people! Others...it hurts.

I know why they want to believe I have some secret knowledge about the future. Or that someone does, if not me. That's why it hurts. But I won't lie to comfort them.

Okay, the poll has closed... I'm now going to devote way too much of my life to finding out why my sister-in-law and 39% of you who voted call a skein of yarn a "skeen" of yarn. That word is "skayn".
