Last Notes npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle I hate to admit it, but I feel like there's something about the Kentucky environment that's good for me. At least where we are, there just seems to be more nature and less traffic. This from someone who grew up in and around New York City, lol. It's not so much about which one I prefer. It's about time and place, and what mood I'm in. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle @nprofile…kytl We did go to the Superman museum the first time we were here. That was fun. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle I wonder if there's a way to set Betterbird to start up automatically. Every time I have to restart, that's the one app that gets forgotten. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle @nprofile…6y3x Favorite characters is easy, the Count and Oscar. Favorite sketches? I'll share some Youtube videos. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle Anyone got any recommendations for extended fairy tales? Alternately, the classic fantasy type where an unlikely group goes on an adventure together. There could be overlap here, which is why I decided to keep it 1 post. Thanks! #Bookstodon npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle @nprofile…5xdn @nprofile…5w7x Hmmm, never thought of the parallels before. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle There's something to be said for fusion, but I can't argue with Tuvok on authenticity. #AllStarTrek @nprofile…5w7x npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle @nprofile…l4h5 @nprofile…5w7x @nprofile…j7sl Unfortunately we no longer have H&I, but I can do DS9 if nothing else. A shame, as I love this Voyager as well and I think it's one of those I only saw in its entirety once! In any case, it's been too long since I've seen any Trek at all! npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle I've got a bad cold and I'm at the stage where my lips and nose are chapped. Is there anything I can do for that? Thanks. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle @nprofile…fnxz Thanks, but it's not for me. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle Can anyone recommend any especially good instances for writers? npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle @nprofile…x774 Ah yes. And sorry, I forget who here uses screen readers and who doesn't, though I'm sure we've talked about it before, lol. And yeah, infrastructure. I guess I just don't see a lot of it because I don't type in URLs directly for any website. I just go to the site and follow the links to find what I want. For some reason it seems a lot of blind people like doing it the other way. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle @nprofile…x774 Most of those are technical issues, which yes, are a problem. And do you know what it's like to go through all those tags with a screen reader? lol And yes, you can click on one, but then you have to weed things out for hours. I had bookmarked the "friendship" tag for a while and there were tens of thousands of stories, lol. With FFN, it's a set of combo boxes you can set all at once. I think AO3 may be better if you know exactly or at least have a pretty clear idea npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle Good news, coconut water is good for heartburn! At least it was in my case. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle It was the rise of chatfics and other fanfics showing how characters would handle lockdown situations. There was also a guy on Twitter who made these funny thread about Star Trek characters. Remember all the song parodies? And people putting up musicals on Youtube! npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle I started spending days out on the lanai with music on, and made it my own. No cars or planes going by, no one standing outside talking, no one doing yard work. Mom was home for a while and we watched a bunch of movies together. Got to see new (to me) ones and rewatch old ones I hadn't seen since I was a kid, and a lot of services were offering them for free. I actually got to talk to people on Twitter since a lot of people weren't working and were just sitting around like me. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle Even in 2026 I still feel bad admitting that anything good came out of the 2020 Covid lockdown, because a lot of people got sick, died, became disabled or lost people. But the truth is I do have some good memories from that time. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle @nprofile…2x84 I wanted to say chocolate because it goes with anything, but vanilla is easier to cover up if you don't like it. Just put chocolate syrup and then whatever else you want. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle @nprofile…w8ap Ah yes, rice crispy treats. I didn't like those freeze-dried, although normally that's one of my favorite snacks. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle @nprofile…w8ap It was..odd. It had pistachioes in it. It wasn't bad! Mom didn't like it at all, and I thought it was alright, but not great, so I gave the other bag to Bob. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle The coffee shop we went today sold freeze-dried chocolate. I've had other kinds of freeze-dried candy before, but never chocolate. I didn't think it was possible. So I had to buy some, lol. #Chocolate npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle @nprofile…usnd I love the visible interface, but that's my problem. I accidently hid it, and now I can't unhide it. The way it's supposed to work isn't working. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle When I was first introduced to social media back around 2006, one of the things I was most excited about was the thought that my words could impact others on the other side of the world. I'm feeling like that again, only now I have nothing meaningful to say, lol. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle So, have people lost their love of fastSM as well? npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle I'm just a little bit embarrassed that I never bothered to learn Jaws or NVDA keyboard shortcuts. I mean, I didn't think I needed them, and it was just one less thing to learn, but those few seconds of time you save here and there really add up! E brings you to an edit box? That's so amazing! But it's always been there. It's nothing new to most people! npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle Wow, I just realized I can often come across as a mansplainer, (gender aside), without intending to. Apologies if I've ever done that here. But it's also a lesson in how not everyone who does those things does so maliciously or deliberately. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle @nprofile…r82c @[email protected] Hi, how do I listen to FX Radio? Thanks. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle At least I'm caught up with dating and rearranging my latest playlist, so that's something. The problem with things like this is, I'll never be done. I'll just keep adding to it until I start doubting my decisions, which is already starting to happen, and then I'll be somewhat disgusted with the whole thing. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle @nprofile…4wvm What is it? npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle Can people please recommend some good LGBT+ paranormal romance or fantasy? Thanks. #Bookstodon npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle Me, my mom, and @nprofile…lkfr all ran out of space on our devices at around the same time. Makes me wonder if this Chrome crap is effecting all of us. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle I just had 1 of those experiences where I woke up very slowly, & was just floating in this space where time & the concerns of reality didn't exist. Then I was awake enough to think of real things, but the part of my brain that adds urgency to everything wasn't awake yet. Also realizing I had already taken my pills took a big load off my mind. When I did wake up fully, I felt more refreshed & clear-headed than I do usually. I used to have these experiences when I was younger, but not in a while. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle I need to find things that put me in a playful mood more often. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle @nprofile…5nry @nprofile…0sth I'm having fun with it! npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle Hey all! What's everyone up to today? I just had a late breakfast and am converting more books. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle Now if only I could bring the UI window back up in fastSM and then disable invisibility mode, I'd feel better. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle Happy #BandcampFriday! If you have any music on the site, or if there's any you would especially like to hype, put it here and I'll share it! Any genre! npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle Thinking about some of the books I read and loved as a kid that I forgot about. There's one that I can't remember the name of, and it's proving hard to search for. I found an AI book searching tool, but of course I wanted to ask here first. It starts off with a teacher in a wheelchair, but it's not really about her. It goes into 4 short stories about her students that ended up connecting. In the first, a boy helps with a wedding, and in the second 1, a girl rescues turtles with her grandfather. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle Back in the day they had cassette cases and CD wallets. Do they make anything pretty and practical to keep a bunch of USB sticks in? I've been using a small and stirdy candy box, lol. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle I want to keep on doing books since I'm on a bit of a roll now, but I really am tired and should go to bed. I've got water and pills all set up for whenever I do wake up, lol. Maybe I can even get Lilo to stop scratching at her treat cart and come to bed with me, lol. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle I feel depression coming on, or deepening. The kind where I don't want to talk to, or more precisely deal with anyone, but at the same time I know talking to people is exactly what I need to do. And I don't even mean having serious talks about deep stuff. I mean just connecting with people on any level. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle My mom's friend came with us to trivia last night. I won 3rd place by the way! Anyway, I was telling him about the Wandering Inn, and Mom told me he bought the first 2 books! This makes me so happy! #TheWanderingInn npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle I don't know when or if I'm going to actually watch all these movies, but going through the directory on Audio Vault is a lot of fun! npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle The reason I don't use Audio Vault that much is that I don't like watching TV shows or movies on my computer. Music is different. You can just put music on in the background while you do other things and not pay that much attention to it specifically. But I feel like you can't really get the propper movie experience, or even the propper vegging in front of the TV experience, sitting in front of a computer. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle Mom had another surprise for me this morning for my birthday. We went to a chair yoga class and a sound meditation. I'd never done chair yoga before. It was quite nice and I wouldn't mind doing it again! npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle We switched over to DirectTV, so I sadly am not able to join you for #AllStarTrek, but I'm still thinking of you! npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle @nprofile…wqvl Any number of places, I imagine. I still see a couple on Facebook when I drop by, and one still sends me a Christmas card every year. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle I'm listening to Muppet Central Radio and feeling a bit sad that I don't have a group of other fans to joke around and be silly with anymore. #Muppets npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle It just hit me now that I lived to age 41. That's pretty cool! That's all. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle I saved the best for last! #Birthday #TheWanderingInn https://cdn.masto.host/fandomink/media_attachments/files/116/356/775/879/179/681/original/492509e2569511a9.jpg npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle I should've started with this one. Well at least I thought it was kinda classy, lol. #Birthday https://cdn.masto.host/fandomink/media_attachments/files/116/356/542/795/582/549/original/5a3058e34be59ab1.jpg npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle Oh no, don't tell me I matched the wrong picture to the description again! npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle @nprofile…056a Although, this was the plan for weeks. I wanted to do it, then I thought for Mom's birthday. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle Darn, my internet has been acting up tonight!

I just hit control n twice when I was trying to do other things, and I'm wondering if I need to do something new and what that might be. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle @nprofile…n9mx Ah, I'm so glad! I opted not to buy it yet. I've been reading it online. Will buy it when my next Audible credit comes in. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle Happy Easter, happy First Contact Day, and happy birthday to me! #StarTrek #FirstContactDay #Birthday npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle We went out to the Greek restaurant I wanted to go to.

Happy birthday to me! #Food #Birthday npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle Sitting here feeling angry and disgusted the evening before my birthday, with no dinner plans. I'd like to say that only my mother could make me feel this way, but sadly I know a few people who could, and they all happen to be in my family. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle Those of you celebrating Easter, what are you having for dinner?

And yeah, it's a good thing I have people around to help me set it up and check to see if something actually comes out, lol. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle I think I got 3 different restaurant coupons in the email for my birthday. Cool! Now all I've got to do is find them, then get myself connected to Bob's printer. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle @nprofile…yz5e Thanks, and that sounds great! npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle Wow, I've been making a lot of food posts lately. I promise that npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle Don't you just hate it when you have some expensive and/or hard to find treat in your fridge, and you go to get some, and you find you're almost out? Like yeah this was meant to be eaten, but also I don't get this often and don't know when or if I'll be able to get it again. I just went to get a Club bar and there are only 2 left. #Food #Snacks #Chocolate npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle @nprofile…lter What's better about it? npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle I've been making so many quick notepad files lately with just a few lines jotted down in each about different things that will make no sense to me in a month, but I won't delete or reorganize any of them, lol. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle Have you ever tried making tartar sauce with yogurt or sour cream? I like the idea of it but I just have a problem with mayo. #Food npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle My transitional memories are weird. Usually thinking about it I feel like 1 reality just ended and another one began. But in reality there were some things that carried over. For example, I remember seeing commercials for the album Pure Moods in the Bronx but buying it when we moved to Croton. My transitional memories are weird. I remember seeing commercials for this album when we lived in the Bronx, but actually buying it after we moved to Croton. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXN6WbQiPhM npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle According to Me TV FM, today is world piano day. Does anyone here play? npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle @nprofile…g6hg Ooh, what's in it? I've had a great night! Been reading all night. Now it's early Saturday morning and I'm contemplating going to bed, lol. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle @nprofile…9n4n Thanks. It seems obvious, but I really didn't think of the phone! Lapel mics might be easier though. My problem would be, what would I connect them to? npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle @nprofile…9n4n Ah, then maybe I could get by with just a mic. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle One of my dream dumb purchases I'd make if I had the money to thow away on really expensive dumb stuff is a binaural headset and microphone. Now the only reason I keep saying it's dumb is because I'd have no idea how to use it. I wouldn't want it for too much, just using it for making really high-quality recordings of various things: singing while walking through the house, walking through the park, Etc, but I wouldn't know what else I would need for that. Think it might be a bit much effort. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle It just started pouring, and my window and the sliders are open. It's loud, but I find it lovely, and I'd much rather hear it than traffic, the neighbor's TV, or Bob chattering. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle Wow, everyone's getting in on the Dubai chocolate trend. Even the popcorn shop I used to go to has it! #Food #Chocolate #Popcorn npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle @nprofile…xjkk Ooh, this sounds fun! Thanks! It's a longshot, but at 1 point there was a site with Muppet ringtones free for the taking. Do you happen to have those? npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle 4 but it would be the same idea! This is the biggest example I think, but it seems to me there have been other things like this lately. Things from my childhood that have been resurfacing and sort of concluding or grounding themselves in unexpected ways. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle 3 So I downloaded it and was wondering what to do with it. I used it for the "messages" sound in my personal fastSM soundpack because my computer quacking at me is just the kind of whimsy I look for. Just now I thought hey, why don't I use it for a ringtone? Then I can have a phone that quacks! Sure, it won't look like a duckphone from the 80s, (if that was even a thing. I wouldn't be surprised considering the novelty phones that were popular in the 90s, presumeably they were in the 80s too), npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle 2 When I was in preschool, I remember for some reason we were talking about phones 1 day and the teacher told me that her phone made a quacking sound like a duck. Now I'm sure you can imagine as a 4 or 5-year-old, I was fascinated by this idea! I chattered on about it at home like little kids do, thought about it, and then forgot about it mostly. Today when I listened to that sound, it came back to me! I thought yeah, wow, this is what I always thought that would sound like! npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle 1 So a weird, wonderful thing happened to me today. One of those things that sounds small and kinda silly, but meant something special to me. So I never thought of myself this way until now, but I am a bit of a collector (hoarder), of fun sounds that I use for soundpacks, ringtones, system sounds, and stuff like that. Today courtisy of @nprofile…r82c I downloaded a quack sound. It didn't sound like a real duck, more like a toy or someone immitating a duck to be silly. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle What's the point of the boundary sound in fastSM? In Tweesecake it changed the sound volume, but here it doesn't. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle @nprofile…9n4n If not, I downloaded it. I might be able to send it to you. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle @nprofile…9n4n Ah, probably not. It seems like an Audible exclusive. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle @nprofile…9n4n Nope, it's this one.

Like I said he does cook sometimes and help with some of the housework. When I said that I meant like he can do no wrong in mom's eyes and she keeps making excuses for him and ignoring that there's anything wrong. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle @nprofile…9vmh And yes. Breaking promises, living like he's the only one in this house. He woke me up at 7 in the morning last week yelling about something on the news. Never found out what. He's mean to our cat, it's gotten so he barely eats anything my mom makes and often insults it, repeatedly. He's a MAGA asshole... He cranks his videogames up as loud as possible... He's just a near constant source of stress. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle @nprofile…9vmh She acts like she's living in the 1950s, that's how. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle @nprofile…9vmh He really is that much of a loser. In many ways. He's actually a good cook when he bothers. Better baker. It's just he'll spend days talking about something and getting us excited for it, then either never get around to doing it, or decide at the last minute to do something different. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle @nprofile…9vmh Lol, it's my mom's partner, and I don't. Yeah, my last post was a bit more harshly worded than what I would go for on here, but he really is pretty infuriating. npub1s8t9hmzkktgnym4d7r5e5ltkgj6eghp5h09nngz30tnyv9s0p7hqrcrlel 👩🦯The Blind Fraggle Even if your favorite fandom hasn't had new fanfic in 2 years, keep watching it and don't give up hope.
