okay, look. I can put up with my mic getting turned off when my mini fridge runs. I can even deal with my controller turning off when I plug in a space heater, or my computer monitor turning to static whenever I stand up from my desk (even though I don't really understand it).

but what I cannot put up with, is the fact that when my mini fridge turned off just now, my firefox color scheme reset, which is something that has never happened before

what the fuck is wrong with my wiring?

man living in the countryside can suck because you're not a priority when it comes to disasters. my family had to live in a no heat, no electricity, no hot water house for two months when i was kid not because we couldn't pay the bills but because an electric line went down during a snow storm on our street and we weren't important enough to get it fixed in a timely manner.

Our town has been out of water for a few days and now its looking like we wont be getting it back for another week. Which means we're not going back to work either.

Shaking my little tin can spare change? Spare change for art?

Five upcoming updates?! Don't overwork yourself for 12/31! Stay warm and cozy!

I want to stay warm & cozy too, but that freeze warning isn't helping! I'm trying really hard not to use my space heater or electric blanket very frequently, but electricity bills are higher in winter for such reasons.

I'd say I have about 2.5 chapters out of 5 written, but I can barely move my hands in cold weather! I wish I could just watch anime & dramas all day while bundled up, but then I'd have no time to type or write. 😅

PSA: Utilities Charge Whatever They Want

So like, if you're paycheck to paycheck, if you're having financial difficulties, pay close fucking attention to your utility bills...

Because look at this bullshit.

Guess what happened in the 61 day billing period for 9/28/2023 statement date?

I moved into my fucking house. And started running my stove/oven and then eventually my furnace.

Guess what wasn't being used in every previous billing date shown here...?

NATURAL GAS. Like literally (in the actual definition of literally) none of it. Almost had my dad going to check if there was a leak in the lines at one point over the summer because nothing was being used. But nope, it's just the gas company charging whatever the fuck they feel like, whether you've used anything or not.

CONCLUSION: Pay attention to your bills because what they do is charge you based on an estimate of what your neighbors are using, not what you actually use. If you're having financial issues, call up your utility company and tell them that you will be calling in a reading every month (because they only send a person out to do an actual reading every other month, or now, every few months with ours, and just charge you whatever they want otherwise, and adjust it later when they do an actual reading... you can see in my bill they owed me a ton of money, because $11.17 is lower than the base charge for even having the gas turned on). And at least in NYS (or my county anyway), you have the right to demand they bill you on your actual usage by calling in a reading yourself because they don't want to pay someone to go out and do it monthly (but you can be damn sure they're going to charge you monthly).

*Also note: the double-billing 61 days on top of already being billed for 35 days of presumable the same time-period, and yet still, completely nonsensical invoice when you click on it. Their numbers come out of their ass.

waking up in a bad mood always sucks but having a swarm of little guys on hand to immediately cuddle you to death is pretty great i won’t lie

[seth-the-giggle-fish]

Oh shit

My bedroom window doesn't have a window sill, and a window sill is typically as deep as the wall is minus the depth of the window. I'm going to go make sure all my quilts made it through the move alright I have a feeling I'm going to need them this winter

Y’all I really want a boyfriend for all the obvious reasons duh but like the main reason I want one is so I can have a personal space heater in my bed. Like I am fuckin frozen because of the AC.
