#TheSun #ItBurns #Vampires #YellowJackets #Meds

Two days ago, I had my first ever case of hives, at just shy of 65 years old.

They SUCKED. Probably a very late consequence of 15 or 20 yellow jacket stings I had about two weeks ago.

Received a super cortisone/pred injection that made a HUGE difference, but also was put on Doxycycline and prednisone for 10 days.

The sun is BRUTAL. Herb Garden volunteering lasted an hour, even in the shade.

I am withdrawing into my vampire phase...no sun.
Vampires can have ice cream, right?

The other day, Monday, I disturbed a lively yellowjacket nest---serves me right for not noticing them coming and going in my garden border...

They flew at my socks and I have 17 stings between each leg and a few on my hip and maybe on on my arm.

I also nearly impaled my head on a pole as I was running away.

The question: Ever since then, I have been itching al over. I have a patch of what feels like a rash, but not where I was stung. Is my body detoxifying all those stings? Stings were two days ago.

Also, sorry for the Hive Mind bit above...

Watching Yellowjackets and my wife (who's never seen it) sits down on the sofa for a few minutes...

W: She looks like Leonard's sister.
Me: 🤨
W: From vacation.
M: 🤔 ... 💡It is! 35 years later!

(Leonard from The Big Bang Theory portrayed by Johnny Galecki who was the brother of Juliette Lewis in Christmas Vacation.)

A European paper wasp (Polistes dominula), spotted building its nest on the door of our house on Evia #Euboea island, #Greece, in late April.

Though these wasps look a lot like your average #yellowjackets, they're very peaceful even if you come close to their nest. They're also not interested in your strawberry cake or any other human food, but feed on insects and spiders.

#Introduction #NewToBlorbo

Hi! I've tried to make an introduction a billion times, but I haven't been able to figure out Mastodon yet - so the billion & 1th times the charm I guess! Hi, I'm Agnes, it/zhe I'm a writer and fannish individual in its mid 20s.

I love writing fanfic. I love weird sisters and aliens and toxic lesbianism and devoted characters and experimental styles and dark humor and women who are terrible. I love superheroes and creatures and characters who think they are superheroes and creatures but actually aren't. I love weirdness and I love women. I love to write but I also draw and create games.

My fandoms are mainly #TheOrville, #Babylon5, #DoomPatrol, #StarTrek, CBS Ghosts, #Yellowjackets and other science fiction. I've been a part of fandom since single digit age and I love interacting with others regardless of whether or not you share my interests!

I will probably be posting about my fandoms, WIPs, and maybe some personal stuff too!

Please be an adult to interact with me!

I'm also ToothpastePancake on Dreamwidth, and ToothpasteCheesecake on Ao3!

Yellowjackets season finale is good. Possibly even great. It drives the core premise forward with conviction and confidence that feels earned even after two thirds of season three were pure waste.

I have no idea what they thought they were accomplishing by the bland and hollow season start. And middle. Last three episodes should've been the start and just scrap all the banal fluff. The premise is such that you can either go hard or not at all.

April 1st

Oh shit… it’s April Fools Day. Never have I ever had less interest in playing along with this bullshit. The fascist states of america is already filled to bursting with fools and idiots and pure, unadulterated evil. Why anyone would think fake stories on the internet is entertaining during times like these… I just don’t get it.

Change of subject. The Red Sox are off today. We will be spared the slaughter and the constant strike outs. In five games thus far this season the team has struck out 123644258686134 times with about 86358629357 being Devers alone. Unfortunately, the Bruins are not off tonight. They will be annihilated by the Capitals. Times are tough in Boston sports-land these days. Why not? Times are tough everywhere.

Change of subject again. When was the original Star Trek given the Star Wars Special Edition treatment? After finally getting through Star Trek the Animated Series the other day, I decided to watch the original show all the way through. I’m through the two pilots and up to episode five now. I just watched Sulu take on the bridge with a sword while the Irish guy sings badly over the ship’s PA. I’m a little put off by most, if not all, of the exterior shots of the Enterprise being replaced by CGI. When did that happen? It doesn’t affect the episodes at all, but I still kinda don’t like it. I want my 1960’s models back. I want the pure form of the show back, even if it is less impressive and cheesy looking.

Change of subject again, again. Sticking with television, what is the deal with the month of April? We have the start of new seasons of The Handmaid’s Tale, Andor, The Last of Us, and Doctor Who. We’ll also see the last two episodes of Yellowjackets this month. This feels like collusion. This feels like the television industry conspiring to keep me from sleeping for the foreseeable future.

Again with the change of subjects again, again. I did not participate in the RPM Challenge’s Record Every Month thing. I wanted to. I was going to. I just didn’t. I’m thinking of maybe compensating for my failure by trying to do an April album in a month instead. Write and record 35 minutes worth of new music before the month ends. Will I be able to muster up the motivation? Probably not, but let’s give it a shot, eh?

Okay. Time to go and get ready for work. Welcome to April. Stay away from those damn April Fools jokes. It’s going to be a long and painful day on the ol’ internets. Good luck, everyone.

All of Yellowjackets season 3 so far could've been a single episode that is actually interesting. The most recent three episodes had great endings but everything else is worse than filler.

It is appalling how much they are wasting pure fucking gold they have with Melanie Lynskey and Sophie Thatcher.

Edit: no I am hallucinating, it's two not three most recent endings that I am thinking of.
