Lacking in Reason
Description: I'm mainly here to occasionally spew words at @saint-batrick; it's probably their fault for being my sibling and BFFFFF. 40s, married, acon, bipolar, spoonie to the nth degree. Social justice bard (apparently!), not particularly cis, and definitely not het (but she/they, y'all). Kids, cats, house, and probably way too much yarn.

I'm obligated to say screwdriver, since I have actually stabbed someone with one (like, 30 years ago, but anyways).

I am so sold on the not-log aesthetic.
why do fake fireplaces always just have fake decorative logs? They could put anything in there.

Being an implant from Texas originally, even almost 17 years, I find so much delight in weird-ass British place names.
anytime someone from the UK orders a print from me I’m delighted because the addresses tend to be charming and sound completely made-up, I just suspend my disbelief and accept that I’m sending a package someplace with a name like Bristleberry House at Ditchmallow in Brambleford-on-Cotton—incredible lmaooo I bet this gets delivered to you by a badger in a little coat

Even if I'm a happily naturalised Brit, the Texan in me will always feel heart calmness and serenity at this sort of shit. So good. <3

When I first moved to the UK, I was shocked that the cashiers had chairs. And then I was like... why the fuck do they not in America. Really, the fuck.
cashiers should make 50 dollars an hour minimum, get comprehensive PTO + benefits packages, and get expensive top of the line chairs to sit in at the register. im not joking at all.

And the other thing I did yesterday.
I finally hit the launch button on GoFundMe for my surgery fund.
I... if you can donate, that's awesome, but really, the operations are in November (yeah, I have GCS and FFS just a week apart from each other and that recovery is going to suck). The biggest thing I'm asking for and need is help sharing right now. I don't do reddit, or twitch, or streams, or twitter anymore, or any of the media where a lot of folks manage to get their funds magically filled by big donors. If you do, mind putting the word out about mine over there? I just want to be able to make sure I can recover in peace without the rest of my family struggling to make up for what I can't do during that time.

@saint-batrick and I always remembered things the other didn't of the history of our mutual times spent. It was always slightly amusing, and slightly frustrating. *chuckles*
One thing I urge adults to unlearn is the stigma surrounding forgetfulness.
Perfect memory retention is rare. A faulty memory can be the result a host of mental illnesses, from ADHD to PTSD. It's not a sign that someone wasn't listening. I have a friend that has a four year gap in her memory due to trauma. I have another with poor short term memory retention because that's one of their autism symptoms.
Your brain can also trick you into misremembering things. I can't tell you how many times I've remembered putting my keys somewhere and unearthed them in a completely different place. I have to remind myself what my birth date is because I said it wrong once and now the wrong date is in my memory forever. I have to come up with mnemonics for birthdays, anniversaries, and events because my brain doesn't do numbers for some reason.
I see people bicker about forgetting a person's favorite food or what their mothers favorite color. I think it's important to forgive people who forget easily.

Oh stars, this sounds wonderful. Rail travel doesn't make me ill like car travel, so I have pencilled in at some point in my life to do some sort of long haul train with a sleeper thing.
“Nobody’s going to want to sit on high-speed rail for fifteen hours to get from New York City to LA.”
Me. I will sit on high-speed rail for fifteen hours. I’ll sit on it for days. I’ll write and read and nap and eat and then do it all over again. I’ll stare out the windows and see America from ground level and not have to drive. I’ll see the Rockies and the deserts and cornfields and the Mississippi River and your house and yours and yours too. I’ll make up stories in my head about the small towns I see as we go along. I’ll see the states I’ve yet to see because driving or flying there is a fucking slog and expensive to boot. I’ll enjoy the ride as much as the destination. And then I’ll do it all over again to come the fuck home.

If I didn't already like Seanan... *chuckles*
Re: October Daye
It's stood out to me that the Browns live in Colma, America's only necropolis. Was that on purpose, or just a cool bit of coincidence?
I grew up in the SF Bay Area, and Colma was where I went when I wanted to visit my favorite Chinese buffet. I just wanted the Browns to have access to really good Chinese food and all you can eat crab.

I had old friends who were in the UK recently. It would have been nice to see them (It's been 12 years), but I didn't even consider it once I saw they were planning on doing the Harry Potter stuff. I've lost count of how many times I've pointed out this issues with Rowling and not being able to ethically consume her materials. I haven't gone as whole hog as unfriending folx who continue to, but it gets more and more likely with each passing year. :/
I haven't purchased a HP item in close to a decade - I use the books I already had as doorstops or to prop a laptop up for meetings nowadays.
There is NO "death of the author" with JK Rowling - she controls and continues to profit from her IP, and uses that money to fund hate groups.
