I think that whatever has been in my system for the last week is finally starting to ease up. My tummy is still sore and my back and all of my joints hurt like hell, but I'm not feeling utterly miserable and ready to snap at every little thing today, so I'll take that as a win.

Save for having a wonderful breakfast and bookstore hang on Saturday last week, this entire week has been pretty shit. Health has been in the toilet and my mood has been atrocious, so thank you to the folks who've tolerated my grumpiness and been patient in DMs; I will get back to y'all ASAP.

For the sake of finding some highlights, I did manage to pick up both Aventurine · Waveflair and his Light Cone, thanks to the event Jades and some serious luck. And I did enjoy watching Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die and Seven Psychopaths with Vrada. I need to just force myself to sleep now.

Weird, possibly TMI question, but: does anyone happen to have any recommendations for teas that would help with alleviating sinus pressure without aggravating that annoying nausea you get from post nasal drip? I already feel like death and I'd rather not have to spend the next four days puking too.

It's a wonder how quickly a flood of messages in a group text with family members will completely tank any desire you have to interact with the world.

I saw there was a new 4-star Elation Light Cone and decided to do single pulls for it. At 20 pity, I got Robin Summeretto's LC. I got the Elation LC in the next single pull. And then I got Robin Summeretto at 44 pity. Apparently I only have insane luck on banners I'm not interested in. 💀

Recent Gacha updates: + Picked up Dialyn and her W-Engine for my Banyue team during the current rerun banners in ZZZ. + Accidentally pulled Odette because I forgot you get a copy of Alyosha for free in Genshin. + Finally hit Max Level in Infinity Nikki (please don't judge me).

One thing I actually love about living in Pflugerville is that Buddha Burger is like a 60 second drive from my house and hooooooly fuck, I love their burger and cajun fries more than Five Guys'. 💜 (I know that shit reads like an ad, but I just had it for lunch and now I'm in a better mood. XD)

I have been a furry for over twenty-five years and I -still- haven't figured out a way to communicate "I think your sona/OC is so damn cute and adorable and dorky and I kinda wanna c*mmission a doodle of them being given the most bomb-ass head by mine" to friends without feeling insanely awkward.

The millennial pseudo-neutrals phase was always black, white and chrome and it's given way to nostalgia/whimsy and natural-wood restoration these days. Ironically, "millennial" grey is favored by boomer/Gen X landlords and the Gen Z folks who're still in that beige and modern minimalist chokehold.

No fuck off we're not calling this "Millennial grey" this shit was dictated completely by boomer retiree house flippers we absolutely had NO say in this

The very people who tout the phrase "suicidal empathy" are doing their level best to try to force us down the road of genocidal apathy and the sooner we come to the collective decision to treat them like the cancerous tumor on humanity that they are, the better off the world will be.

"This is not generosity. It is suicidal empathy" writes Robert Jenrick (Telegraph www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/08...) quotes in para 3 of the BBC report, with a link. "Suicidal empathy" is also the core phrase Elon Musk wants to popularise to promote remigration, political violence + civil war

Having one of those awful days where I feel deeply listless, my libido is somehow at 100 and my chest feels tight from anxiousness, like I'm just sitting on the edge of a panic attack that won't arrive. My brain can't decide if I want to force myself to start a project, suck dick, cry or all three.

So many gacha updates~ HSR: Completely drained my Jades to get a copy of Rin for my Archer team and got my first E6 character (Yanqing). ZZZ: Pulled Ramielle, her sig and her Bangboo and claimed Hugo and his for the anniversary. WuWa: Pulled Changli on the Starpath Reverbs banner.

Who could've guessed that demanding adults compromise the security of their personal data while having no way to stop kids from just scanning someone else's ID instead of legally-requiring parents actually use the myriad of parental control options available on every device wasn't going to work out?

I'm just realizing I haven't done the 3.0 main story content in Zenless Zone Zero and the patch ends in a couple of days. I really, really, really need to stop waiting until the last second to catch up on my games. 💀

Absolutely fuck this summer and heat dome nonsense. If I had my way, I'd be in a cozy cabin someplace covered in snow year-round, with an 90s sitcom playing on the TV or a game OST on as background noise, an iced coffee on the table and a chubby guy or girl sitting on my face. =w=

Seeing these 100F+ temperatures again has me so unbelievably stressed. I fucking hate how hot it gets here. If I could snap my fingers and go live in a place that's eternally between 15-55F all year round, I would.

Okay, so I may have almost completely drained all of my remaining saved up Jades to pull for Dan Heng PT's Light Cone and Evernight because I wanted my Remembrance team to be stronger and him to be a better sustain...

I ended up having to go to pity three dang times because I lost my Himeko Nova 50/50 to standard Himeko (welcome home, E4), but I got her and her Light Cone! ✨ I was hoping my luck would be better so I'd have enough Jades left over to go for Aventurine SP next patch, but that's not looking good~ 💀

Instead of blaming the notorious coke fiend heroin junkie that's actually responsible for the outbreak, they've decided that, because they can't blame it on immigrants, they'd just find a Mexican restaurant to pin it on.

Federal and state health officials are reportedly investigating whether Taco Bell restaurants played a role in one of the largest U.S. outbreaks of an illness that causes explosive diarrhea

For the record, I can't see any NSFW posts on here on either of my accounts. That github workaround did make it possible to continue accessing Bluesky, but it doesn't seem to get around this stupid fucking nonsense.

I finished binging Just Shoot Me the other day and decided I wanted to go back and finally watch Murphy Brown, but it's not on any streaming services because of the music rights nightmare it apparently was. 💀 Thank goodness for the Internet Archive having episodes. ✨

Got really lucky and managed to win my 50/50 on Lucy’s collab banner in WuWa right as I ran out of steam to grid in-game anymore. ✨ I also grabbed Sandrone a few days after the patch dropped in Genshin since I was already basically at pity and she was on guarantee. Time to sleep, I think. 😴
