I know that this is a minor thing with everything going on in the world. However, I started going back to school full-time (while working full-time) in January. I just got my letter that I got on the Dean’s List.

@RightMeow You’re the cat’s meow, the bee’s knees, you are Doctor Who’s shoes. Congrats!

After nearly 26 years of off-and-on struggle with college — and a whole list of unresolved mental health issues going on at the same time, beginning with my biological mother’s death and the subsequent mixed family drama almost a year after that — I am, today, August 1 2025, officially in possession of a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science. (Today is my conferral date.)
It’s been a long road.

With the 8000000 spiders born here in the past month, that’s going to be one mighty busy spider-vac.

Sucks up bugs, any size! Catches them, just like flies!
Look out, here comes a Spider-Vaaaac! ~ -

KPop Demon Hunters.
Game when?
-
@Snackness NOT SOON ENOUGH
-
@Snackness I call dibs on having a tiger-cat-thing minion.
-
I don’t know anything about K-POP Demon Hunters, but my question is what the (MU*) rules for the K-POP idols are, because don’t idols have certain restrictions in their contracts irl?

I would come out of retirement for this.

After a long time of patience and effort, my physical degree was sent to me in the mail, and my happiness is immeasurable.
It hangs on my wall over my desk, right next to a framed autograph of Jeffrey Coombs, because the frames match and I am not being monitored adequately.

I had a fairly involved surgery in April to remove calcium deposits in my shoulder, and subsequently to repair my rotator cuff. It did an absolute number on me.
BUT.
Today, I went to feel the circumference of my upper arm and I can no longer almost GET MY FINGERS ALL THE WAY AROUND. It’s feeling like I have actual muscles there again which is like-- an absolute relief to experience.

framed autograph of Jeffrey Coombs
When I met him at a con in 2009, I was astonished to find that he’s much much shorter than he appears in the movies. I wasn’t able to get an autograph, but we did have a nice chat about how he had probably done more stuff based on HP Lovecraft than any other actor in history.

It’s not really happy, but I feel compelled to tell people how my ex, who accused me of TRICKING HIM into being GAY, stole my autographed photograph of George Takei and my purple harem pants, the third gayest pair of trousers in the world. And it is funny.

-
@helvetica I wonder what I should charge people for the service of tricking someone else to be gay. I am not sure how long it took so it’s hard to calculate.

@Gashlycrumb Take your expenditure for parts, props, and other sundries, jack up the price by 60% for labour costs, and that’s your daily.

If we’re going by daily, don’t forget the retainer.
