Last Notes npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: So we've had Daredevil & #Spider-Man meet in a deleted scene. #Daredevil & Punisher. And now Punisher & Spider-Man. And I just want to know what it's going to take to get the NY crew in a movie together to take on medium-sized potatoes. npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: @nprofile…6wsh haha I am so not on target my plan is to be poor and homeless npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: @nprofile…6wsh I think I am too embarrassed to pay someone to tell me to spend less money npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: @nprofile…6wsh nope npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: i hope doing a 0% balance transfers and taking out a 401k loan are smart financial moves. I can never move the needle on my debt without doing big things. just paying monthly means always treading water. npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: It's like I'm choking on this last bit of knitting. I've tried two days in a row a make progress and failed 😩 npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: Stephen Colbert has set up a new YT channel. It only has the Minnesota public access show on it right now. https://youtube.com/@colbert?si=TV6-RoxeD92BCnT7 npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: Ha ha! Success! I got #PrivateNightmares added to @nprofile…ksas by creating #TMDB entry and a #TVDB entry and linking those entries. And it was literally all just me, but now I can track my viewing. I just wish there were better images available so I could fill in those gaps on the pages. npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: Man I do not like this Marshmallow DK worsted yarn. I touch it and it's just 4 strings that I'm trying to treat like a solid whole. It splits just by looking at it. #knitting npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: Kinda funny watching bsky users have an existential crisis over whether leaving Twitter harmed politics, and masto is just.. itself. Chugging along, people posting about things they care about npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: Well, now she's back home 😢💔 https://cdn.masto.host/fandomink/media_attachments/files/116/307/310/137/881/254/original/b18402239b3b08ba.jpg npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: so wait, did the Senate pass DHS funding and the Democrats didn't have to compromise on anything? #uspol npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: @nprofile…6wsh I wish I could offer good recs, but I think our taste in media is so different that it seems like a roll of the dice whether anything would hit the spot. npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: I have finished Star Wars: Outlaws! Decently good game. Exactly the sort of thing I wanted. I'm glad I'm not a completionist though or I'd have spent a whole lot longer on it. Was nice to just decide to finish up the main plot. npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: @nprofile…4wvm there are zero people this ad applies to npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: My Oura Ring Gen 3 is dead. 😭 I already had one replacement on it due to battery, and so they won't replace it again. So now all I can do is get a $100 off coupon for a Gen 4. The Gen 4s suck as far as I can tell from Reddit, but maybe the first and a replacement will last long enough for them to come out with a Gen 5. npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: Well, I had thought that maybe it was a victory of sorts that Dearbhail managed to go last night without need a prednisose after 7pm. But this morning she needed 2 because she sounds so terrible. So maybe I should have given her some last night anyway. npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: @nprofile…hc2k Whiskey Pete will defeat Iran through push-ups! npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: So Dearbhail's peptide therapy arrived today. It'll take 3 weeks to see if they are going to help her any. Such a long time to wait... 😩 npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: So the Inflamaway supplement that we put Dearbhail on to try to reduce her prednisone does seem to help, but also makes her sleepy? Even though none of the herbs in it are sedatives that I can see. Maybe it's just from skipping a prednisone dose. npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: @nprofile…zrxk such a good idea 🩷 will I remember how to play ffxvi when I go back to it? Absolutely not! 😂 npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: @nprofile…4sms yeah I had to turn off all the databricks suggestion stuff because I couldn't get through a thought about what I was querying without being interrupted npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: Well, a loan against my 401k is the only financial move I have right now, so I've initiated that. It'll basically cancel out the raise I got but give me some relief from high interest rates npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: @nprofile…7sv6 unimpressed so far. There's maybe an inch of snow. npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: @nprofile…6wsh could it be someone editing a post? npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: Day 1 of being in thyroid medication. It's a low dose. My levels were subclinical but the doctor decided to give it a try. It takes 6 weeks to see effects, so I won't know for a while what being in this medication is actually like. npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: @nprofile…ml9f there was a whole storyline with Luca that taught me something about isolation and living in translation. Just something young me had never thought about npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: @nprofile…p6sd @nprofile…r478 it's very cool to see different Fedi projects adopting each other's best practices npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: I haven't listened to zodiac.fm in a long time (despite paying for it) and I forgot how nice it is. npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: @nprofile…8l9e hah!

Today she got a nose bleed for the first time in a month. I think maybe the herb we added was at fault. It had many things good for cancer but maybe just isn't a good fit. I've stopped it and we'll see how next week goes. She got it during our walk, and I spent a while with paper towels outside trying to stop it. But had to just let her bleed to get her home, where I had some epi. npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: @nprofile…94p0 pretty much, yeah. I think they just decided helping people distracted from their real task. npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: @nprofile…kzpn @nprofile…zeh9 That's awesome news! npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: Made chicken chasni yesterday. Not bad. Not quite the flavor explosion I was hoping for. I think I have everything I need to make chicken pathia today. Might need to go get some onions... npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: @nprofile…p6sd then I will continue to suggest to Bsky people complaining that their tiktok accounts are censored that they try Loops :) npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: @nprofile…p6sd Will you let people post videos of ICE in Minnesota on loops.video? The rules say no violence, but this stuff is important and with tiktok censoring people, they'll need a place to go. npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: @nprofile…p6sd Today is probably a good day to go on Bsky and invite people complaining about TikTok censorship to join @nprofile…nzrw. https://cdn.masto.host/fandomink/media_attachments/files/115/961/703/357/520/692/original/29e610bcad3b15d1.png npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: @nprofile…4jr4 kinda like the image that they just kept them out back in the barn npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: @nprofile…39t6 I'm going to have so many keyboards installed... npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: @nprofile…39t6 Which one did you switch to? npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: One week of using the vibration plate twice daily. Nothing fancy, literally just standing on it for 10 minutes at a time. I'm not sure if it's doing anything, but I do like it. Especially as part of a morning routine. I feel less creaky. npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: @nprofile…d97q that is very cool 😊 npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: @nprofile…ml9f looks good! 😋 npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: @nprofile…q5hl I'm keeping my eye on CleverKeys, but it's not quite there yet. npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: @nprofile…0hwm I was really surprised that she had nothing for me after almost passing out. npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: @nprofile…0hwm I have no idea how much it was by volume. If they weren't doing hormone testing they would have taken 24 in a single visit! I definitely would not have made it through that without ending up on the floor. npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: But they also need an off-cycle sample for hormone testing, so I have to do it again next week! Yay. Proceeded to feel kinda crappy the rest of the day, too. So I did nearly no work today. But at least I don't have to do this for another 6 months. npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: I signed up for Function Health at the end of last year with what was left in my FSA account. And then with this year's money have enough to pay the bonus fees for getting the tests done in the NJ/NY area. So I went to day for the first blood draw... ...and came very close to passing out. I have bad veins for getting blood draws. And at about 9 vials my body just decided that that was enough loss and things needed to shut down. npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: A full night of stress dreams. Yay! I think it included cameos from both my parents. npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: Awww yissss, The Night Manager Season 2 is now on Amazon Prime npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: @nprofile…834x that doesn't do anything for the way it has broken politics. People who stew in nazis all day get normalized toward nazis, because that's just the median opinion surrounding them. People calibrate to their surroundings. npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: @nprofile…0ez2 @nprofile…yrtm that's why they'll just toss it and do what they wanted anyway npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: @nprofile…tcw8 swap 'em with everyone in jail for marijuana npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: @nprofile…ye0z they think they have to because "that's where the people are". Leaving would be like not having a website or phone number. npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: My expensive FSA gadget this year is a vibe plate. I did the TrueMed thing for the first time where I just attest that I am buying this to avoid chronic pain and they provide a letter to the FSA people. It was all easy. I look forward to giving it a shot. npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: @nprofile…hc2k I guess I'm spoiled but it genuinely surprises me when any business takes longer than 2 days to get an order out. Do they have better things to be doing? Chop chop! npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: @nprofile…8255 @nprofile…8sxv that is dedication! npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: @nprofile…ynrv it was new posts each time, for sure.

How do I get Pachli Current? npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: 15 days into her 4:1 keto diet and Dearbhail is mounting a revolt. The only parts she wants to eat are the ones with basically no calories. But she's still begging for food. She just doesn't want THAT food. I'm going to switch it to 2:1 so she gets more meat and see if that will satisfy her. She has more willpower than I do, and I'm tired of throwing money in the garbage. npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: @nprofile…2wra Is bookwyrm.social permanently down? npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: Am now doing the pre-cooked meat portion of The Curry Guy's cooking method. The instructions really don't cover whether you are supposed to keep all the onions in with the meat when you use the meat in a recipe, though npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: Did some #qigong today for the metal element. It had a focus on parts of the body that I've been having trouble with lately. And had some tiger forms that were both fun and a challenge. I think I should keep doing this one. npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: I have made Madhur Jaffrey's lamb saag but with beef instant pot recipe. I don't usually go for saag with tomatoes in it, so we'll see how this turns out in 4 hours or so. It occurred to me that I could use all the beef in my freezer for Indian lamb recipes. I should also try some Curry Guy lamb recipes while it's the holiday and I have the energy for cooking. And lots of beef to use up. #cooking npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: @nprofile…yr34 Trump level thinking on them's part.

I submitted my itemized receipt and expected to get $200 back. I got a check for $40. So I checked and the insurance coded all the lens charges as "vision other" and then denied it. So I called and they're going to review my dispute. 😛 npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: The Hounds Of Timiny 🥲 npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: @nprofile…ynrv a couple of times now I've been writing a post and the post suddenly closes and the timeline refreshes. My post is lost when this happens. Have you seen this? npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: Grr. Ordered some stuff from Milk Street for stocking stuffers. Their shipping Co took 20 days to deliver it and 3/5 of the order is missing. And it's not that they think they sent multiple boxes. They list the tracking number of the one box as the number for every item. npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: Hello perimenopause. For the first time ever I had a period come several weeks late. And even then, it was struggling to start. I had listened to an herbalist talk about Lady's Mantle and how it was good for perimenopause and an emmenagogue. This seemed to be exactly my issue, so yesterday I made a quart of lady's mantle and drank most of it. Today I am bleeding like a stuck pig. Like, holy hell! More than my heaviest normal day. So anyway. That appears to work. 🙃 npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: Time to turn off my weekday alarm for the holidays 😊⏰😴 npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: @nprofile…hc5m Is the most recent mastomodern supposed to make the background of posts gray? npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: day 6 of Dearbhail eating keto fish slop instead of normal food, and she ate her bowl this morning. I will try swapping the butter for coconut oil this evening to see if its the coconut oil that she didn't like from the other day. npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: Tried to suggest to my new mayor that maybe the city government shouldn't rely on Musk and Zuck for city communication to residents. He said he has to be where the people are. :( So I guess I'll just ask that they use the JC Alerts system for street sweeping closures like they have been this week. npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: @nprofile…dfpj I have been disappointed lately with how my rice is turning out, so honestly, yes 😊 I do need to maybe spray the pan or line it with nonstick foil on the bottom but overall nice to improve my technique npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: Ok this may be some of the best rice I've made.

The labels still make money but the artists do not because the label gets paid in stocks, which are not sales and therefore don't require royalties. It's just so... dirty. npub1qlxf6s2pl2djx3x4j7ccz0mucqakvdcavanfud6xjhkrr7g3vdqsh90zvf Magess :heart_ace: @nprofile…ynrv ah! I did not know that's what that preference did.
