I hate that ‘bad dream’ just means ‘nightmare’ instead of ‘shitty quality dream.’ I had a bad dream last night. It wasn’t scary it just didn’t make a lot of narrative sense

lol get his ass
So recently I discovered that there is a historical recreation group that runs a local park. That park is a old abandoned quarry that a local man bought and then started rebuilding historic buildings in. Like, an old doctor’s office. An old farmhouse. A period blacksmith’s shop. That sort of thing. He did this for 50 years, puttering around on the property happily and indulging his special interest in re creating period accurate nails and horseshoes. We stan a local flourishing autistic king.
ANYWAY. He donated it to the local city when he died and now a local historical reenactment society runs it. IDK why I didn’t know about this because I got married there. The only recent revelation is that the reenactment society will accept, say, any local madwoman who messages them out of the blue going ‘hey u need someone who can spin on a period wheel?’
Long story short, yes. The previous lady who could hand spin was 87 and died recently. Peacefully, of being 87, and they’ve been going mad trying to find someone else who knows how the fuck to refurbish and work a spinning wheel. I’m eyeballing Frigga rn hardcore for that 'hey I should google that place’ thought.
HOWEVER. I encountered a reality check.
Namely, Liz, the lady who runs the group, texted me 'omg do you know how to work a loom?’
Me, who has been marinating in a bubble of fiber artists online for years; I mean not like super well? I’ve dabbled but I’ve not attempted anything more adventurous than a regular plain weave, fair warning.
Liz; what’s a plain weave
Me; …..
Me; Okay so like what kind of loom is it.
Liz; it’s a big one (sends a picture of an antique floor loom)
Me; oh shit six pedals, nice, well, the heddles look in good shape so…
Liz; what’s a heddle
Me;
Me; Yes I can clean it, set it up properly, and warp it. What do you want to weave.
Liz, after sending about 48 delighted emojis; rag rugs to sell in the gift shop omg omg thank you so much it’s so complicated looking all of us have been afraid to touch it
Me; this is that xckd relative familiarity comic isn’t it
With all my love Systlin, your discord chat is literally called “Fiber Hell”.
This point was made to me by about 28 of the feral fiber gremlins there yes
I KNOWWWWWW THIS THING IS A BEAST AND THEY WANT RAG RUGS
Bestie I will get the rag rug frame loom grandpa made out of my mom’s garage for you let me play with this beauty and a twill weave
I’m not sure what level of fiber hell this puts me on, but my initial reaction was “Oh yeah you can do rag rugs on a loom too I guess. I’m just used to the crochet ones.”
I mean we’re not really beating the accusations here uh
i love when fantasy novels are about 35 year olds…why is everyone in books 20 or 16 all the time
(defensively) 35 is one of the most normal ages to be

Yesterday i lost my glasses. And decided to document my frustration until……… I really wish this was planned, but i gotta admit, I took a big L.
“[defeated tone] So… I have…. lost my glasses. And I’m afraid to leave my bed because I can’t see… and I fear I might step on my glasses. So I’m sitting here with my bee pillow pet… and I don’t know what to do.
I need to get up. I wanna get food. I gotta exfoliate and moisturize, cause my skin looking atrocious right now.
What if… [deep breath] What if I die here, y’all? Would anyone even miss me?Like, really?
I want Enrique Iglesias to come save me. Like, the ceiling opens up and like, he comes down from like, a heavenly cloud with my glasses, and he’s singing. [imitating Enrique Iglesias] ‘Would you dance? If I asked you to dance? I will be your hero baby!’ And I just take my glasses and I’m like ‘Thanks yo! Put a shirt on homie!’
But life, life don’t work… life… [prolonged silence]
[camera zooms in on glasses]
[long silence; light chuckle] Enrique…”
They hate me for my redundancies. And also for my tendency to say the same thing but in slightly different ways. And for my repetition of phrases. And for my redundancies.

found this three year old draft buried in my files. is it funny? I don’t remember
My edo period samurai roommate keeps telling me how i’ll bring shame and dishonor to our apartment if I keep forgetting to wash the dishes. Like whatever dude, I’m not the one carrying on a passionate yet illicit affair with the daimyo’s daughter whose hand has already been promised to another.
もう大名に「真に申し訳ございませんでした」と言いましたよ!と、お前は、我の浮気を公衆に明かさないと言いました!!
Bullshit dude last night I saw you texting O-Sumire haikus comparing her to the flower which gives her her name
Anyways everyone should watch The Good Place
there’s a cineplex ‘before the show’ thing that always cracks me up, because it features different types of annoying movie theatre people. like “don’t be a Tommy Texter. don’t be a Susie Seat Kicker.” but recently they’ve made a push for diversity and included a nonbinary person, and it just makes me smile because the motivation behind it is sweet but the actual textual messaging is “we acknowledge that nonbinary people can also be annoying in movie theatres.”
Here’s the ad
there’s a lot of people reblogging this with “it’s me! I’m annoying in movie theatres!” and can I just say, from one nonbinary to another, I would rip you apart like a chimpanzee
