argumentative, antithetical dream girl
this last weekend was pretty nice/relaxing - i discovered librarything and have spend the last week or so cataloging everything i can find in the house which has multiple benefits: we're bad at remembering what books we have AND if i pack stuff into a box/tote to store somewhere, i can tag it appropriately so we can find it easily later
can ALSO catalog movies and music AND, while it's not a common thing to catalog on the site, video games! which, for the same above reasons, is super useful for us
i still some stuff to go through and add, including stragglers lingering randomly around the house, but i've got the main bookshelves added at least
also started doing some bigtime decluttering of the bedroom (cataloging stuff is part of that lol) b/c it was feeling claustrophobic and messy. things just stack up easily and i'm prone to just let it do so until the invisible, unknown breaking point is hit and i HAVE TO CLEAN.
we had a pretty nice thunderstorm thursday night - TONS of rain and a nice bit of lightning and thunder. there was some sketchy purple bits around us on the radar, but we didn't get hit with anything heavier than heavy rain. apparently there was a tornado touchdown in massillon, but i don't think it was anything significant.
also had a little bit of rumbly last night before bed, as well
garden is coming along nice. i feel like i was def eating tomatoes and peppers out of it by this time last year, but given i didn't really rehab the soil on the one side as much as it needed, i should be glad it's growing anything at all. so the tomats and pepps are coming in slowly, but our strawberries (container) have been producing nicely, as well as my sugar snap peas (when i can beat the birds to them). the cukes are also flourishing! there's quite a few hidden lemon cucumbers i spotted yesterday and a couple of the regular ones starting to look like actual veg
twitter is still impoloding. i'm still scoping out places where i might want to hang out as a twitter 'replacement'
i've got complaints about mastodon - i don't think it's user friendly in terms of signing up. in addition, one of he bigger furry instances just recently decided to shut down, so all those users have to move and find somewhere new to occupy. which is just...............bad for a social media platform. (tho i know masto isn't intended to be, like, an average socmed platform, but people are going to treat it like that b/c they don't understand what federated/unfederated/decentralized/whatever actually means or is for). i was on snouts back in the day (i signed up for masto pretty early on to play around with it) and i didn't even know it imploded when it did. but i'd have been Pretty Annoyed if i'd had a lot of posts/followers/whatever on there and it got nuked
but that's one of those masto things - you're at the whims of the admins of the instance you choose. and if you choose the 'default' mastodon.social instance, other instance owners may restrict that instance from theirs (meaning it's harder to view someone's posts/profile - it's, like, an extra three steps to go and view it on their own instance) and it's also, like, a three step process to follow someone not on your instance, including copypasting their @ info into the search on your instance and then following from there. it's not great
i'm waiting to see if i can acquire a bluesky invite, just to claim my name and play around with it. but i've been on the waitlist for mooooonths x_x
and, like, i don't really want a furry-specific socmed site b/c i LIKE being able to stumble across all different kinds of art and stuff - i don't want to JUST be confined to furry stuff. my twitter feed is a pretty varied and i LIKE it like that. that's why i like tumblr, as well. it can just be stream of thought/personal/art/furry/fandom/horror/games/whatever. and, sure, i can do that on a furry-centric platform, too, but i'm not going to be exposed to/find as much cool stuff i like in that kind of space
so idk, i'm kind of bouncing around everywhere lol
ran 'prophecy' over the weekend with growl and tony!! it was very fun - i like the dungeons where there's lots of space and stuff to explore and the mechanics were enjoyable to do (not like the nightmare that is the second encounter of 'ghosts of the deep')
leaving these full size b/c i like them lol
other than that i've been grinding for the solstice title ('flamekeeper') - i didn't get it last year so i gotta redo everything this year. all i've got left now is.......................killing guardians. which means running either crucible or gambit. i'm hoping for a mayhem week so i can just force myself into crucible b/c killing guardians in gambit is more strategery lol
a little wip, as a treat
