This Week's Fancy Pants Meal: Packaged ramen.

Yeah, I screwed this week's recipe way up. It was a SUPER vague recipe with confusing instructions. I'll try again next week.

❤ And the swim meet is sold out. ❤

My website should finally be back up. I've also updated a few things here and there. Let me know if anything is broken.

My website is currently down, but I'm working at bringing it back up ASAP. For now, it looks like my backup site at http://dolari.org is currently up with my main site at http://dolari.net coming soonish.

Stay safe out there, Houston Family....

There are only two tickets left! I was not expecting the tickets to fly out the window the way they did!

To whoever bought me the BluRay of Nadia: Secret of the Blue Water, thank you.

That opening alone had me in tears, as this was one of the last anime series I followed before leaving organized fandoms. Good memories during rough times there. ❤️

Adding seats and poses really makes virtual spaces into livable spaces....

Something I've been looking forward tor talking about fo some time....

[Eastside Seattle Area]

August 25th from 3PM to 6PM, we're having Pride Across The Bridge's first Trans and Non-Binary Swim Meet!

It's summer, the sun is beating down on you, the air is warm, and it's hot in the shade. You know what sounds good right about now? A nice dip in a pool. But that's not something the trans and non-binary members of the community always feel safe doing. The Trans and Non-Binary Swim Meet is here to help!

Dive into an afternoon of swimming in a safe, private and supportive setting. Sliding scale tickets for this whale of a time are available at https://givebutter.com/QT-Swim, and the location will be sent to you with your ticket.

We hope to see you there mer-friends!

So, in the midst of all this bad news we've been hit with, something good is being announced tomorrow. Can't wait to share it.

@socketwench - Dolari.net is down, and I have an idea that it may be for good (it was a free gift from a friend decades ago who has since sold the company).

I'm planning to move to a new hoster and I'm thinking now is a good time to rebuild using Drupal. And ideas on how I would go about doing that in my local PC and then moved it to the new host?

I may be preaching to the choir, but for those who don't understand why the latest Supreme Court decision is bad, here is a lawyer explaining it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXQ43yyJvgs

After a few of Colin Baker's ultra-violent ultra-dark Doctor Who stories, I walked away from Doctor Who. I didn't really plan to come back, but I got pulled back in by a friend who promised me "it got so much better."

I'm glad this was the season I came back to the show. If I'd come back in Season 24, I probably wouldn't have stuck around - it's far too campy and Sylvester McCoy is too goofy. But Season 25 and 26 he plays goofy, sure, but there's a layer of sinister that shows up. And in Season 26, he'd sold me as MY Doctor.

And maybe Ace helped a lot with that. Their relationship wasn't just Doctor and Companion, they were a genuine team. And she was someone who pushed back, something companions rarely did.
There is some good stuff here and Season 26.

Yay, I did a thing!

There are a lot of environments in #resonite, and they're pretty amazing. Lots of totally livable spaces, with nice beanbags and sofas and beds...none of which allow you to sit or lay in them.

I was given a chair as a house warming gift from a friend when I came into Resonite (they give you a free house when you join), and I found out how I could remove the chair itself, and use just the posing and sitting anchor and insert it into a non-sittable beanbag.

And now I can sit! I was even able to change up the pose to something a bit more feminine.

Once I do that for all the available seats in my cabin, I'll have a nice living space for all the people I...uh...don't really...um...have over at my....place....

Well, it's a lot of places for ME to sit at least....

On this 4th of July, our thoughts now turn towards I WANT TO SET THIS WHOLE THING ON FIRE (safely and carefully) IN A PARKING LOT SOMEWHERE AND RUN AWAY SCREAMING FROM THE NUCLEAR AFTERMATH.

Oh. That is so worth the mess and near destruction of my mixer.
