got the morbs?

woman-shaped person, she/her/hers are fine, terfs/swerfs/exclusionsts will be blocked. i simply do not care about shipping discourse and purity culture wars bc i have other things to worry about and assimilation is not my goal.

a common throughline in shit i like is understanding how and why systems work and fail. i do my best to have unique and blockable tags per fandom. popular tags include:

#tuesday again no problem- a weekly roundup where i talk about what i’ve been reading/watching/playing/making/listening to

#evil lair llc - shit i do to my apartment/various non-textile hacky nonsense

#mackintosh my little black cat. mack for short.

#phil short for philip marlowe, my little tabby cat. not a thought in her beautiful empty head.

do you have nieces/nephews/godchildren/other kids in your life that aren't yours?

yes my bestie's kids!!! they are three and seven. i would be their godparent if any of us were more religious lol. the seven year old was trying to explain to his grandmother (who i have known since high school) who i was and he settled on "that's my kay :)" yeah bud sure am :)))) they are really, really good kids i would take a bullet for without thinking AND they make me feel very settled about how my tubes are tied. like yes, i made the correct decision for me and not just a knee-jerk reaction to moving to texas and not wanting to deal with accessing emergency reproductive health care in the south. i am NOT equipped to deal with children 24/7 or for longer than about three hours at a time.

what's the coolest place you've visited?

coolest AREA probably key west. we went to visit my grandparents vacationing there when i was very small. i think every kid should be able to run around catching lizards and jumping in and out of the ocean to cool off for a couple days at least at some point in their lives coolest BUILDING is the montague book mill, which is really not that great as a used bookstore but the number of nooks and crannies and rambles you can go on is top tier. historic building, crazy bones, great place to bring a laptop to and futz around. coolest OUTSIDE THING is the shelburne falls flower bridge and (down the street) the glacial potholes coolest local place is the buffalo bayou cisten. go in the pit it will not harm you

what's your favourite kitchen appliance?

i don't have a lot :( this is a combination of not growing up with many bc my mom thought they were a weakness and bc i don't do intensive cooking. i would probably bake more if i had a stand mixer. oh! tiny rice cooker!!!

what's the worst job you've ever had?

well. the job i hated the most was working in a deli, where the owner was actively selling rotten food and also beating his children! we shan't talk about my past two jobs bc i am still under NDA :|

what are your hobbies?

fucking around mostly. but NOT finding out

what's your favourite household chore?

what's your favourite piece of furniture and where did you get it?

most effortful piece of furniture is my enamel kitchen table i dragged out of a basement in massachusetts and then dragged down to texas. i just sort of loosely wrapped it in a moving blanket and sandwiched it between my mattress and a whole bunch of boxes and thought no more of it. did one of the rails for the drawer get fucked up? yes. do i use that drawer? no.

restored this in the inaugural evil lair, it took foreverrrrrr bc the chrome was so so rusty. i ended up getting most of the worst off and then hitting it with the fancy rust-stopping rustoleum spray and then hitting it with silver spray paint. which has held up remarkably well! i need to do some better bracing for the legs bc it's a little wobbly in its old age, but hopefully this is a piece i will have the rest of my life!

do you make a list before going to the grocery store or just wing it?

6!

what's your go-to recipe when you want to make something that requires minimal effort?

absolutely no spoons and under 5 minutes: ramen with stuff in it. half a can of mixed 79 cent veggies, a little pat of butter, some soy sauce and rice vinegar.

more than one spoon and can wait a little bit: rice with microwaveable veggies and whatever already cooked protein is in my freezer. i love to buy a rotisserie chicken and rend and tear it with my hands but all the leftover bits of rotisserie chicken go in a tupperware in my freezer for eggs/quesadillas/rice with stuff in it. my hoisin sauce tastes remarkably licorice-y so im taking that as a sign it's gone bad (bass boosted "go to the store and buy another bottle of hoisin sauce" short video playing in my head)
