@IoleRae When my dad turned 40, my older brothers did a big presentation with one of those giant easel sketchbooks. The presentation was called
Things That Are Older Than Dad
It included entries such as the following:
- Dirt
- The Earth
- Dinosaurs
- Time
- God
- Granddad
I really hope my parents still have that sketchbook somewhere.
I have high expectations for my birthday.
you won’t be able to reach them

It’ll be a shorter list.

I’m in a bit of an RP rut lately, and that sucks. It’s of my own making!
I have lots of hooks to work on, tons of support to get to interesting story things, and I feel extreme levels of gratitude that if I reach my hand out, I can grab the RP I crave with ease, and I take none of that effort for granted.
I want to be the person who RPs a ton, and life just isn’t getting the memo right now (I’m having sleep disorder problems, which poisons everything.) Thanks to all the people who keep poking me to play, and I’m sorry that most days the answer has been a bleary ‘Maaaaybe’.
I want to be so much more than this.

@Solstice Not giving up on you. You have a plot hook waiting and that invitation.
But on your own time. When your ready.

So what you’re saying is:
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you doooown

Yo, who’s ready for a hot take? Think twice before you answer. This take is so hot you might get burnt. Got some aloe vera ready? Because I won’t be held accountable for the psychic trauma this blistering hot take inflicts.
Okay. You were warned. With no further ado, here is a take so hot it could smelt iron.
Cats sleeping on someone’s face is only cute when it happens to someone else.

Cats are not allowed in rooms where I’m sleeping. Period.
I’m happy to pet them and snuggle them and cuddle them when they’re asleep, but when I’m asleep? That’s a hard no.
We had a long-haired cat when I was 12 or so and I have vivid memories of one night where I woke up in pure panic multiple times because I couldn’t breathe and in that state of groggy incoherence, didn’t realize what was happening for several seconds. Just that it was dark, there was no air, and my face was numb.
We have two cats that, when we lived in our first apartment, would wake me up several times a night with their “Run Around the House All Batshit Crazy” and not just from the noise. I mean they were chasing each other around and I’d be startled awake by having ten pounds of cat land forcefully on me and then use me as a launching pad to the next obstacle.
Insomniac, who loves to sleep under a giant cat pile, finds this very disappointing… but he’s also impossible to wake up and snores like a diesel engine. Y’all can sleep across the hall. I’ll be over here with the dog nestled in his own bed on the floor and the door closed, thanks.

I like to live dangerously, allergic to cats and slumbering beneath a cat butt on my shoulder.

There’s no better way to wake up than to have a cat purring against you. Even if it’s still dark out. And you could sleep for another hour. Or two.
ETA: this is the natural order of things:
Kitty is sleeping on my sleeve so I shall cut off my priceless piece of clothing.

I upvoted, but then remembered that before the last year my husband never allowed our cats to sleep in the room.
That rule died the second Calypso entered our lives. She came to us alone and we felt terrible making her sleep alone. The other kittens at the time were easily twice her size so we didn’t trust leaving her alone at night with them. Eventually she would cry if we didn’t let her in and that was that.
Husband regrets this when she uses him as a springboard to the headboard of the bed at 2 am.

Senior Engineer: A Tragedy in Two Parts
“Oh, a PR review request with no previous context. Must just be small I bet I can bang that out before lun-”
“Okay nbd it’s probably not all stuff I’m on the hook for let’s just filter b-”

@shit-piss-love So the real question is, was the PR “reformatted the code base”? That’s… quite a lot of changed files.

It turned out to be a summer intern’s research project. I showed them that they didn’t need to check out the entire repository for the image they were trying to build. It is now a 6 file PR.

It peeves me to know I forget the main assholery of people I’ve cut off contact with until like five minutes after I un-cutoff contact with them.
