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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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

I am going to listen to audiobooks, I guess.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, wow, flea, I hope this is a good move! Yay raise, for sure!

It me.

I'm scarce on Facebook because of family crap. I fell back into fannishness near the beginning of the year, and wound up back on Tumblr, which has worked out what with the whole Facebook avoiding.
