you've got the universe in your soul

Passover starts Monday evening - if you are in need of a table to join for first or second night seder, please let me know and I will be happy to help you find a seat with myself or others. If you'd like me to help you finish cleaning your suite and personal areas up to Passover standards, I will be around tomorrow through lunchtime Monday.

Haha my cousins think they're funny (they are, and it made Gran laugh, which is worth the tall one hiding my coffee mug up high each morning like the brat he will always be).

Late update because I've already been at the Ranch a few days, but it was lovely to get to see my family after so long with just text and rare video calls.

the downside of mostly only one good hand is how much harder it is to get things done

buuuuuuuut i found a video game called vampire survivors that mostly only needs wasd so that's what i've been doing during some of my downtime

after i get maya settled for the night i'm gonna sleep the glorious sleep of being awake too long. (naps on the flight don't count, someone's toddler kept crying and it was the worst for them and me)
she's drugged up and also has her phone so very sorry for anything people get sent.
london for the night, sleeper to scotland tomorrow.

someone bumped the claw machine finally, yeah?

Crack of dawn alert letting me know our flights are cancelled due to the hurricane.

Doug, Matt, and I will be back once we can rebook flights, but I plan to enjoy this bonus time as actual vacation. 😇

yes doug, i've already got your name on the list. 😘
amanda? any other spice chasers? lmk.

Jane enjoyed the ridiculous physics in this, so I figured a few of you might as well.

Hiromi's gotta be one of the world's most innovative improv artists, right? Listen to this.

fell into a rabbit hole of jacques ze whipper and physics and now i want to learn how to wield a set of whips.

brain finally feels better but oooooh why does this video game make me look for the world's tiniest images

i do not suggest getting in a fight with the shower wall and losing.



as a note and head's up i will be gone on halloween because i am not risking it this year. do not need me. (or doug and matthew, because i am kidnapping both of them.)

obviously cartoon logic is the real answer but have we ever considered that chip n' dale solved all their cases because they had a luck mutation? i'm not saying this could kinda be arthur and team luck's theme song, but if the gumshoes fit...

So... how absolutely murdered am I going to be if I show up at work with spray tea in a can? Or anywhere, really.

Why yes I did set this as Topaz's contact image, did you even need to ask???

Mm, they are just packing new music into my birthday weekend this year. New Harry Styles single, Miley's live album... Lizzo's got a new one coming out in a few weeks.

Merry merry music birthday to meeeeeeeeee.



Also heeeey Terry, Kyle, or anyone helping out at the DX art event this weekend--I am leaving the country unexpectedly for a few days for work-related reasons. Can someone please get the food I made to the event? It's all done, but the mini quiches and tartlets will need a quick reheat. I can leave instructions for that with them.

Hokay soooo apparently my weird static issues are a secondary mutation 🎉 (At least now I know why I've been shocking the everloving crap out of myself and anything else that can conduct electricity lately, but also OUCH, I am so tired of shocking myself. My phone. Other people. THE DAMN FRIDGE.)

So now you've all been properly warned. Please be careful touching me, don't hand me your electronics unless they're shielded or you've seen me ground myself, etc.

"intentionally hid" she's a fucking minor and elite athlete, she's probably way more concerned about hiding the extra cookies from her trainer than trying to "scam" people with fucking powers. cripes sake she probably didn't even know about her X-gene unless it's something super obvious. i sure as fuck didn't, and it was terrifying enough having my own status splashed across the news as a fucking adult that i'd never wish it on a damn child.

don't read the fucking comments. anywhere.

somewhat in order:
- giant apology to anyone i worried. many of you will get an in person one later if you want.
- please don't visit tonight.
- text me about tomorrow and this week as i get settled back in.
- i am working through my message backlog.
- i hope all of you had lovely holidays.


yes i saw her post and have Opinions. i might even share them and answer questions. HOWEVER i am having some memory issues. if i don't remember or don't want to talk about it, don't push. if you're on a team you'll see the reports and debriefs once i get caught up.

artie, my apologies specifically for your role as cassandra in this, but also i have changed all of your contact information to reflect your status as the unbelieved prophet.

Heeeeeey guess my fridge didn't get the entire memo because the lids are off on things inside it but the door stayed shut and nothing is ruined. I will take the small win of my beef bacon still being safe for consumption. The jars seem like they will accept lids being placed but not fully closed? This is not ideal, but it's better than having them fly back at me.

Found some station on my spotify currently playing... idk, it reminds me of some of the sounds we picked up sometimes back when I was still interning for Jane. Space noise, I guess. It's pretty soothing. Wonder if I'll still be able to listen to it once things are back to normal?

Uuuuuuuuuuuugh, I ate too much while taste testing today and I have regrets. No food for at least 12 hours. Maybe longer. I don't even want water right now.
