A kinda-tornado-kinda-hurricane-kinda-massive storm hit Houston this evening. This is what my street looked like immediately afterwards. Wolf, Pup and I are safe. We got lucky. We only lost power for a little bit and our trees are still upright. My parents are still in the dark 2 miles down the road but they assured me that they’re safe and have portable batteries to keep their phones charged overnight.

I hope everyone who’s been hit harder by this storm recovers soon. No idea if Pup will be going to school tomorrow, though we do know several schools in the district were either damaged or have no power.

Sending lots of love to my hometown tonight 🫶🏻

#currently on the worst road trip of my whole entire life! well. i don't want to jinx it lmao but #today i popped TWO TIRES at once in the middle of the Katy Freeway in Houston TX (the widest highway in the US; 26 lanes btw)#managed to make it over to the shoulder without DYING but then had to sit there for like an hour? and panic called a tow truck because duh #I know how to change a tire but I was – again – sitting on the shoulder of the widest freeway on the continent so #anyway I called a tow; a guy showed up. I assumed it was the tow! turned out it was not. but he helped me put on the spare and then was lik #“follow me to my shop I can do the tires for you” and I was like okay! 👍 but then the ACTUAL tow called me and I realized this was #just a random guy (very nice up to that point but then I got scared about following him to a secondary location?) and so I didn't lmao #I just kept driving and didn't follow him but the guy on the phone was then mad at me because I wasn't where I said I would be because #AGAIN – I thought the original guy WAS the tow company that I called? but anyway guy 2 on the phone was like “YOU OWE ME $200!!!!”#and I said for what? also how would I pay you? and he tried to get me to cash app him lmao?? I didn't. I hung up on him #he called me like 6 more times yelling at me until I finally just blocked his number 💀#however NOW at this point I'm driving on one spare tire and one rapidly-flattening second tire and I still have 3 hours left to get where #I was going for the night and to top it all off I'm in the middle of a city I've only been to one time before? so I manage to get to a hote #like a nice-ish one where I'm like “okay if I get stuck here this won't be the end of the world”#because keep in mind today is a national holiday so basically everything is closed!!!! btw!!!!!#but eventually I'm sitting there and it's literally 100F outside and I remember oh right lol I have car insurance which pays for a tow #(a normal one; not a random one I panic-found on google who calls me screaming at me to cash app him $200)#so anyway I call my insurance and the guy on the phone is very nice and is like “it's okay; we'll have someone to you in 45 min”#and I'm like okay. OKAY. 🙌💪 I am a strong independent woman who is figuring this out and no longer on the side of the highway #but instead in a nice calm neighborhood and all I have to do is wait 45 min and everything will be okay #one hour goes by. I call back. get redirected to the tow company that was dispatched. guy says oh! is my guy not there yet?#I say no. he says okay – I'll have him call you. hangs up.#okay. 20 more min go by. guy finally calls me. says “I'm 20-25 min away” at this point I've been waiting about an hour and a half #I say. okay? okay. 30 more minutes go by. I try to call the guy back. straight to voicemail. three more calls. three more no answers.#I call my insurance back. sit on hold for 15 min. eventually get put through to a different person who's like “okay let me check on him”#get put on hold. eventually she comes back and says “okay he says 15 minutes” I've been waiting over 2 hours at this point. I have to PEE #I just... burst into tears. on the phone with this poor random woman from Geico Insurance. I'm bawling my eyes out.#she was trying to get claim info from me but I'm crying so hard she's like “oh baby no. okay. okay. we can get that from you tomorrow.”#when you cry so hard that even the insurance company is like “you know what we're just going to let this one slide”#anyway guy eventually shows up. he's very nice even though I hate him a little for being so late. he drives me to an OPEN TIRE SHOP

Sheryl Swoopes, Tina Thompson, and Cynthia Cooper discuss the fact that there is no houston team any more

#every time we'd land in san antonio or dallas the first thing i'd say would be ... i'd rather play in russia #and like ... honestly valid #really dallas is the most invalid city in the country #really the whole dfw area... i mean it's just a collection of suburbs #and honestly i think the culture and geography of dallas is reflected in the wings and that franchise #and compare the vibes of dallas wings to the vibes of detroit shock... totally different #detroit is strong cool powerful #dallas is just well we're here and there's a pegasus #and have you seen the color green they use in the logo? it's so ugly #the thing is i want better for the players #oh and then the defense comments #they are cracking me up #wnba #sheryl swoopes #tina thompson #cynthia cooper #cynthia cooper-dyke #i've been thinking about this #and like it obviously is sad but how to remedy #tbh i think they should move the dallas team to houston #then the dash will have a buddy #but that complicates thinks a little bit bc dallas is originally from detroit #which has its own history and legacy #but then i think back to she told herself defense was not her role #houston comets #these tags got out of order i think #that's what i get for editing and adding comments

Some people have the most atrocious takes on the people in Houston in the aftermath of Beryl and they all have shit like "guardian" and "I love everyone" and "peace for all" in their bios.

It's like the Tumblr version of bigoted Karens on Instagram having bible verses in their bios.

#Genuinely fuck the people who are doing this #I saw a building with the side sheared off today #The road my students live on is a minefield of downed power lines and trees #You know who suffers the most in these situations? Those in poverty #Those in mobile homes and trailers and spaces with less strong foundation #You know what population Houston has a lot of? People living in poverty #THESE ARE MY STUDENTS YOU ARE INSULTING AND SAYING ARE BEING POORLY PREPARED AND CALLING BABIES ABOUT IT #And me but like. Fuck insult me all you want I don't care #But come say it to C whose home has a tree in it and got fired from his second job because he had to take time off for getting covid #Say it to E who lives with SEVEN OTHER SIBLINGS and her parents in a single wide trailer whose mother hasn't been able to get back to me #You talk a big fucking game about being progressive and a leftwinger #But when it comes to it your empathy is conditional and if you get the chance to mock somebody else you take it #Because you being able to be 'right' comes before the honest and real lives of ACTUAL FUCKING PEOPLE who have done nothing wrong

8 days ago, I was lucky enough to go to my second Comic-Con in Houston. I got to make new friends and talk to a few guests. The first one was Malie Flanagan, who was very surprised and grateful when I gave her my picture honoring one of her late friends and co-stars from Jakers! (one of my favorite childhood shows) https://www.deviantart.com/nostalgialover808/art/For-Mrs-Russi-812815441

Next I met Mario and Luigi's original VA who even though couldn't keep in touch with me due to having an actual home in the Netherlands (which I admit, I highly respect this guy's way of knowing how to keep a low profile), did promise he'd try to remember to mention me when it comes to Nintendo (and Illumination) finally being ready to make a sequel to the Super Mario Bros. Movie since I actually got to show him my accounts. Finally, because I had promised a neighbor (who's a huge Walker, Texas Ranger fan) I'd get his autograph, I got to talk with Chuck Norris himself, and was the last one to recieve his signature just as he was leaving his booth.

The only downer at Collect-A-Con was missing my chance to talk to Tara Strong (especially when she unexpectly opted out on her own panel). But hopefully, I'll get another chance in 2024.

Please leave a comment below if any of you guys were also lucky enough to attend this event. I don't own the rights to any of these characters.
