i'll get to this bit later on!!
. . . overflow will go on my blog.faves: though i am an inept villainess (anime adaptation), the adventures of sherlock holmes (1980s tv series), legend of zelda: echoes of wisdom (videogame), re-listening to the lily allen divorce (album) even if it's way weaker in the second half (side note: why is that true of most albums? back in my day™ we could expect at least a famous last words or a 27...)
complaints: i set a background i didn't like on my neocities because i wanted to bring more red in and then disliked how red it was so badly i abandoned the project entirely for a little bit, my antiweb manifesto first draft was postable and true but it reads a little bit like a coke rant now that the feeling behind it has died down again so i have to revise it into an actually dignified series of coherent points, cleaning the house has been a losing battle and i'm not a very strong soldier, i had to block like 15 people for hyping up rocky horror after tim curry died.
friends: i've basically been untextable this month while taking care of birdie post-surgery for a fortnight. when i've been able to talk to people i've had to use that to sort out the contractors we had in to fully strip our roof / repair every rotten board from the previous holes / put an actually watertight one back on, sort out the laundromat pickup we had to get because i couldn't safely get past the back porch mess to the basement, and chase up our mechanic about putting break pads back in our car (literally "back in" btw, they skipped the wearing-out stage and dissolved one day).
commonplace: i know our being trapped at home has been enforced by everything going on but i have really enjoyed being able to just co-exist with star this month. i'm not going to miss it as he feels better and we start getting back into our hikes and shared hobbies and go out & in fact have really enjoyed as he feels better and our weekends start to involve going back to the two farmer's markets we like best while they're still open, redecorating rooms we left at the bottom of the to-do list, and revisiting the provincial parks around us. but! i'm a potato at heart and having him tuckered out from healing enough that making a bed on the couch and binging a film actually felt fun instead of understimulating was really nice for me.
i don't have much of a big entry because i got out of the habit and i've already forgotten half of september and all of august. i know at points i caught up on mieruko-chan, witch hat, and the (now previous) afk season and i enjoyed doing all of those well enough, but i'm honestly mostly just tired. yesterday i re-caulked our kitchen sink and while that cured we did our monthly sitdown garlic bread machine (since star is gluten free we just buy the least offensive gf loaf and manually slather them in melted jarlic butter and cheese, then wrap them in foil and freeze them for later) which i missed. this week my goal is to re-caulk the bathtub and then install a D-shaped shower curtain rod so we can try to protect the tiles as much as possible until we have the money/time/energy to get the bathroom remodeled into a real wetroom.
i said this on tumblr but i am really tired of being in online sapphic spaces. the biphobia is exhausting on its own but the recent pushback on that has gone from like actually pro-bi history to just insisting that lesbians have it better and that’s why “we” (???) keep trying to break in and take a share. but the deification of Lesbian as a pseudo-social cottagecore class doesnt actually come from any real roots in that community and it sure as shit doesnt do anything but hurt actual gay women. “oh well being a lesbian is held up as so much better and purer” to you!! to you, dipshit, because the people doing it hate bisexuality and want to convince you to stop being one!! they’re not turning around and giving your slice of the cake to real lesbians though!! they’re condescending to and browbeating them out of discussing having sexual attraction to women or constantly trying to prove that they’re bisexuals by naming fictional men or real transgender women they’ve had crushes on. the ideal influencer wlw is two rich bitches who never have sex and whose entire past holds up to a gold-star level of psychotic bi-hunting scrutiny (but not too strictly because they’ll be accused of being actual gold stars, the same way every lesbian is accused of being a terf by other cisgender women whose communities have the exact same issue) and its so fucking exhausting and dogshit and evil. i just wanted to talk to other women who have sex with women and hang out.

* yes i know that it's a story about a specific type of tragedy and the point is that had orpheus loved eurydice any less he would have also been able to keep on truckin™ but i am making a point of my own about characters like lan wangji and riza hawkeye. the girls that get it get it.
after stressing myself out about missing a month i decided that this pick for october would be nice and lazy. so i went looking for a black rose for the obvious gothic angle. black magic isn't quite right but i'm more endeared by it than i am by the few alternatives. i like the velvety sheen it takes on in the dim light that gave it its name and i'm always a sucker for a tasteful tea rose. this rose looks nice and it suits the season. i've never been given to halloween fever the way my darling friends are; jack skellington and the addams family films have always been a christmas thing to me anyway.
touching grass: we got the catio (read: mostly inaccessible front porch the old owners inexplicably built) tidied out and actually set up our bird-and-squirrel feeders around the windows the cats can access easily. we also dug up and added to our windchime collection now that we have unfettered access to the large tree out back and actually spent an hour or so painstakingly hanging them all up. now one end of the house sounds musical and the other sounds like a lot of native birds attacking one another. star and i have started driving out of the city to take a more beautiful walking path and have managed to get to the halfway point before looping back to the car. i'm optimistic about our ability to finish it before the first snow.
mindlessly scrolling: owhe continues to be good, hsd continues to drop bags i dislike, and i've been communicating in emojis with the japanese-speaking core userbase of nui biyori about how much we all like eachothers photos of teddy bears doing everyday activities. otherwise the dead internet has been making itself harder and harder to endure so i just... haven't been.
