Oof, good luck getting the kiln issue sorted. Agree with -t -- ceramics class should not be stressful! Especially for someone with artistic gifts... I might be more like Jeff Winger in a ceramics class, TBH.

Migraines and insomnia, please to go away.

I am not not in the holiday spirit, but I don't have the motivation to put the tree up this year. I think... I got so excited to have a big tree for a couple of years that it didn't really occur to me that, given I'm really the only one who gives even a smidge about the holidays in our household, maybe a more medium-sized affair would do?

I do have a super cute Advent calendar -- Aldi -- when you pull out the candy, the door stands up, and it makes a little holiday town scene against the decorated box top background. It's really pretty adorable.

I have not checked back in to Blue Sky. I should maybe do that.

I will say that I had high hopes for Blue Sky as a Twitter replacement but they haven't really panned out due to the lack of features (especially hashtags and GIFs). I also hate everything being public. I found some cool film people I didn't follow on Twitter though.

That said, I am there more than Spoutible, which has all the features you could want and then some, but almost no film (or book or opera) buffs.

Basically, for me, it's still Twitter first but I'm going to try to invest more time in the other two now that I have no work lined up for the immediate future.

I do have a bunch of Blue Sky codes if anyone wants one.

Every time I pay my Comcast bill I have to remember that it calls itself Xfinity and then search for that app and that brings up Twitter and that is all just deeply weird.

I refused to update the app in question so on my phone it is still Twitter with the bird.

I took a pottery class last Friday (a very basic introduction to the pottery wheel class), and when I got home, the first thing Tim asked was "So, was it like the pottery class in Community?" (SPOILER: it was not.)

SPOILER: it was not.)

I would have been so amused if you'd gotten a "no ghosting" warning, not gonna lie.

Pottery wheel! So cool, Tep

Mine must have automatically updated at some point, it looks terrible

I have a nice little low-key bluesky stream to follow. It doesn’t think I’m a furry but it does think I might be a fan of Chinese Film Star Wang Yibo, who is a nice young man but not my type.

I just sent in a signed offer letter and will be leaving my library for one 45 minutes away but with (I hope) better management AND I managed a big raise out of it. I am having all the feelings about this (will totally be leaving my direct reports in the lurch as we are woefully understaffed and they and I have been doing all the work; had another extremely stupid spat with my stupid boss who manages to possibly be the most disrespectful person I have ever worked for AND not self aware enough to realize it. But I like to be the better person so I hate myself. Anyway. Just keep swimming.)

Bluesky thinks I should follow furries, people with kink-oriented OFs, and Hannibal peeps. Weird, but not the worst suggestions in the world. Not that I look at bluesky very often, because most of my fandom peeps are still on Twitter.

I keep meaning to post more, but it's pretty much all "Work is chaos but I like my job, new house is awesome, oh G-D still so much unpacking". With a side of "I hate seeing my personal trainer, but he's a good guy and it's not his fault I hate exercise".

Honestly, I'm (still!) the most active on Tumblr.

Congratulations, flea! You have to take care of yourself sometimes. (Sorry about the commute.)
