@taz thank u 😌

@joshmillard Yeah!! I imagine it's sort of a related situation.

@taz hmm that sounded weird.

@taz no!!!! I did alllll those nasty little fuckers

Wake up feelin like shame garbage

@Snip I mean, I'm very happy and satisfied! But it's just weird sometimes.

I am struck not infrequently by the bafflingly unlikely fact of my career and employment. I have precisely the job I dreamed in high school of having, to an uncanny degree of specificity.

There are maybe 20? 30? people with this job in the entire country. Like—why me?

"Maybe you're good at it and you work hard," a small, optimistic part of me suggests.

Heh, I chuckle. Let's not be fanciful, now.

@sectionsix In fairness, I think almost no one can be as cool as Major Kusanagi.

@sectionsix Sorry, my dishwashing services are available to Section Nine operatives only

hey want to hear what i'm doing this morning

u guessed it, more dishes

@taz mugstodon am I right

​

Hell with it, I'm bringing back my old Livejournal user icon—the twin suns of Tatooine, with the bungo (i.e., super old-timey Japanese) caption: 今は昔、ある遥かなる銀河系にて which translates to "In a time long past, in a certain distant galaxy..."

Today before I do the dishes that I VERY don't want to do, I would like to share with you a thing that everybody should read.

It is fan fiction about Anthony Bourdain in Narnia, and it is fucking great.

@joshmillard Can I still talk about how I have to do a lot of dishes today, but ALSO don't want to?

@markpopham yeah it's like, that one person gives everybody else who's been kind of squinting at you permission to unload on you

@markpopham usually it's fine! And once in a great while it's like YIKES

@markpopham 💖

Had to actually beg people to stop "answering" the question, I felt like such a fucking chump

Remember that time I asked Ask Metafilter how to form meaningful relationships with children even though I don't have any of my own and everyone called me a gross weirdo

Because buddy, I sure do
