Now I’m only halfway through the Strange New Worlds pilot but the Kilean makeup looks to me nearly identical to vampires on BtVS. 🖖🏻📺

I just took the IPIP Big Five Factor Marker test. According to the results, I’m intellectual/imaginative af, pretty outgoing, friendly, and optimistic. I am also very neurotic and kind of a mess.

Anybody else assume based on TNG that Picard & Guinan had a friends with benefits situation? 🖖🏻

I have a vague sense that I am Not Okay. I don’t know if it’s a medical thing, stress from my mom’s illness, or the world. I can’t clearly identify the source of it, which makes it hard to know the first step to take to fix it. Might just wallow for a few days.

Who has two thumbs and is doing Reader’s Advisory for fun? 👍🏻👍🏻 This Kimberly.

Usually Spotify Autoplay makes me grouchy but it turns out when I listen to goth music it suggests more goth music so I’m very happy with its current suggestion of 10:15 on a Saturday Night. (Sorry The Cure, You Are Goth.) 🎵

🔖📚 Read Cozy Flash: The Cat and the Conerian.

Adorable. Cozy fantasy is my current genre of choice.

Traumatic previously aside, the Picard finale made me very happy. 🖖🏻📺

Here is a Google Document with links to abortion funds. It was created by @helmsinki on Twitter. I donated in my home state, NC, as well as in TN, where half my people are from. States in critical need are AR, ID, KY, LA, MS, ND, OK, SD, TN, TX, & UT.

“Although I did extremely well scholastically, my lack of human understanding often created social obstacles.” Data on his first year at Starfleet Academy in Star Trek: The Next Generation 🖖🏻5x06, “The Game”

You and me both, buddy. You and me both.

The theatre-major-to-youth-services-librarian pipeline.

I’m supposed to be sleeping but I just learned about the Woodland goth aesthetic. Dark mori style + goth music = the Frouds? Yes please.

Breaking out Crystal Bar Soap’s Moonlit Harbor to support this Cancer Sun woman through some intense eldest daughtering.

Dr. Crusher’s plans for a community theater production of Pirates of Penzance in TNG episode 5x05 delight me. 🖖🏻

I’m going full 90s with my personal style and nothing can stop me. And I mean what I, now middle-aged, actually wore in the 90s, not the modern forerunners of the current Y2K aesthetic.

My spring/summer silhouette: oversized t-shirt + biker shorts. It gets hot in NC, y’all.

I’m having the kind of day where you wish you could take your heart out of your chest and just set it in a little box for a while, because the two of you could use some time apart.

I have no chance at Heardle but if someone made Broadweardle I might do well.

Finished reading: Building A Second Brain by Tiago Forte 📚

Recommended. Full review coming in June.

I’m having a really hard time processing this week’s episode of Picard, for personal reasons. One thing I will say, though, is they could use this to reasonably retcon Picard’s choice not to partner or father as rooted in fears about hurting his own children. 🖖🏻📺

I’m correcting a Zoom Live Transcription transcript and while it’s a lot faster than transcribing it myself, it’s still a lot slower than I’d like.

Today I’m wearing an oversized Sailor Moon tee and black leggings with a run in the left knee. I think 1996 Kimberly would be really happy with who I’ve become/stayed.
