Ash
Lesbian-American escapee living in Spain with a cat. I write about it sometimes.
Gen-X godless heathen and I vote.
I also write music: soundsofash.bandcamp.com
- Whilst trying to figure out the theme from The Inner Light on the Ressikan flute, I accidentally found Kiss From a Rose. #startrek #batman
- I feel like Neelix should have named the mess hall Gastrometrics. #startrek
- I don't get how people convert between religions. If you're a believer because you think it's true, then what convinces you to change? Do you think you've been believing a lie? What makes another religion more true and how do you know? Or do you just like the rituals and rewards better? #atheism
- This is the key to the old Fayette, Alabama jail. It's a tiny town even today and back in the 1800s it had just one jail cell. It usually just held someone who had too much to drink. The sheriff was friends with my grandpa. When the jail burnt down in the 1930s, he gave the key to him.
- I often type up something to post that I think is witty and clever but 99% of the time I delete it because it's probably only funny to me. This was obviously not one of those times.
- There were new people tonight in my Spanish class so we all had to do our introductions. When I said I'm from the USA, the Palestinian couple seemed really surprised. After class, they gave me their phone number and said call them if I need anything because "refugees have to stick together."
- Googling how to become a shut-in
- I have no idea what it is but the bottle is cute and I can make art with it. Bottoms up!
- There are so many holidays in Spain, particularly in Andalucía, and I need to learn how to plan my grocery trips around them. At least today I looked it up before walking to the store. But damn I'd love some bananas right now.
- I just deactivated my US phone number. Feels good.
- I still get the same anxiety and dread about Mother's Day. Having to fake appreciation for someone who gave nothing but judgment, ridicule, jealousy, spite, and bullying. Now that she's gone I can only pity her for not knowing how to be a good person. Or even an adequate mother. RIP mom.
- Kasumi is SO pissed I woke her up from a nap. #catsofbluesky
- I didn't think there was anything that I cared less about than superhero movies. The pope proved me wrong.
- Blood donation scars are sexy.
- People at the bars know my cat's name but not my own. 😆
- A lovely day to celebrate 100 years of Alhambra cerveza. #granada 🍻
- If you must use ChatGPT, use duck.ai. It's from DuckDuckGo and it doesn't save or track your queries.
- The author disabled quotes.Apropos absolutely nothing: Everything you put *into* ChatGPT/Copilot etc becomes a part of their training data, too. That means if you ask it a question like, "is Carl in Accounting a cheat?" it might say no, but also "Carl in Accounting is a cheat" is part of its training data.
- Day drinking is best done in pub crawl format.
- Nobody alive should have a statue made of them.
- A Pope Trump makes a lot of sense. I can't think of anyone more qualified to lead a billion dollar criminal organisation that hates queer people and protects child abusers.
- There was a horse and buggy parked on my street corner and I tried to introduce Kasumi to him. The horse was interested, Kasumi was very much not. Here she is feeling relieved to have survived the experience.
- If you see this, post your getaway vehicle.
- I have misophonia about babies. Why parents don't plug their mouth holes for 20 years is beyond me.
- I've been a lifelong angry atheist. I realized at a very young age that the world is run by people who will kill over a fairy tale and I just don't know how to not be angry about that. #atheism
- Kasumi loves to pose for glamour shots, I didn't have the heart to tell her she's got food on her chin. #catsofbluesky
- Currently reading Sir Patrick Stewart's memoir "Making it So" and I just discovered he and I know the same secret to curing someone's hiccups. Don't worry Sir, I've never revealed it and I never will.
- Autocorrect is a serious pain when it's trying to correct a different language than you're typing in. 😖
