Looks like I am gonna miss seeing Matt Taven vs Rey Fury tomorrow.
Thought what I had yesterday was food poisoning. But nope some kind of stomach bug. Add in the 107 degree heat today I am feeling like I am staying home tomorrow.

So I generally have two accounts on most social media sites. ayumidah for personal stuff. corneroffandom for writing stuff. I started doing a weekly update on how my writing was doing including word counts, and I post it from ko-fi to Tumblr, to twitter. Never had a problem. Then I thought a few weeks back I could start putting it on my instagram account, which I've had since 2017 and never use because I'm not big on pictures or videos. So, screengrab the tumblr post, put the image on Instagram, go about my day. Try to go to Instagram last night and they tell me they've suspended my account for violating their TOS by stealing other people's posts and uploading it as my own. So now I have to contest the ban and wait for them to investigate to see if I get my account back. Over stealing my own post because they don't realize that CoF is me. Tsk! damn right lol

Going to my grandparents tomorrow for Independence Day (the lake in town is shooting fireworks tomorrow night to take advantage of lake traffic). My uncle is gonna be there, and me and him had some choice words last time we were in the same room together.
I can keep quiet and mind my own business, but he'll run his mouth. He's one of those people that sees nobody responding and thinks that means he "wins", instead of thinking his words have no effect.

Sorry that you have to deal with that, specially with someone as close to you.

I wouldn't say angry, but very annoyed that tomorrow is shaping up to be a very busy day at work again, so I'm going to be missing out on NHL free agency day.

Watched the first half of Whiplash on Amazon Prime last night and really enjoyed it.
Came back to finish it this morning and found it's no longer included with the service.

Received mail from the IRS and opened it anticipating a juicy tax refund.
Apparently I filled out my return wrong and instead they're telling me I owe $7,000.00.
Tried to call their office, and the IRS is not open on weekends.
At this point I may just need to stay inside today. Feels like it's dangerous to do otherwise.

Not really "angry", but, I may have pink eye, and the irritation is no fun.

This isn't really angry, more just a sigh and nod. Playing Marvel Puzzle Quest today (July 1, aka Canada Day) I got a token for the Independence Day vault and a Captain America cover. Nice to get, but maybe not on July 1? Figured I'd at least get a Northstar cover or something.

Not genuinely angry, but bummed I missed out on some easy money. I was watering my rose bushes, when I saw a strange looking fella out by the curb. I'm really into paranormal, particularly "cryptids", so I went in to jokingly tell both my dad and boyfriend "there's a chupacabra at the end of the block". Everybody has a chuckle, knowing I simply saw an odd looking dog.
Boyfriend falls asleep, Dad and I get preoccupied elsewhere. Fast-forward:
Dad:"Wait, it was a dog, right? [gives approximate size, shape, description matching oddness of said creature]"
Me: "Yeah, it just had [odd looking features], why?"
Dad: "There's a $500 REWARD for that dog." ---------------------------------------------------------
On the plus side, I saw a car line up next to "the chupacabra", and the little beast seemed to recognize the occupants, so I'm hoping it's safely been returned home

Being I haven't been online until really now. Having no power for almost two days was not fun from 1am Sunday morning until about 230 yesterday. So trying to sleep Sunday night was not fun because it was so damn hot.

INCOMING RANT:
In regards to the recent thread about Twitter turning into a Napalm-class dumpster fire, one thing that really irritated the hell out of me was some people saying that Twitter is better off dead.
Now look, I am well aware of how much toxicity Twitter has in regards to the internet, and believe me, I've seen some of the worst of Twitter (especially regarding anime fans), but I just wanted to put up a small defense in regards to that site. After I ditched tumblr in late 2018 because the morons running the place thought "SEX WORKERS BAD, NAZIS GOOD!", Twitter was the next place for me since many friends who I know (and gained in the following years), even with all the risks going there. I have way too many friends over there that I made and if the site goes under, no thanks to that Crybaby Bitch-Boy Elon, I'll lose contact with a lot of them. The friends that I have made on there helped me turn into a better person, helped me avoid toxic areas (though they'd show up from time to time), as well as connect well with our interests (granted, some of this came from tumblr, but that's a different story).
So to hear people say they'll be glad that it'll possibly go under really makes me feel like slapping the people who said that. Yes, I get that the site is a place more dangerous than the Wild West and again, I've seen the worst of the worst over there, but I get the feeling that the people advocating for the end of the site probably don't care about the good/positive sides of the site and only see the negatives and it also sounds like they want Musk to destroy the website, nevermind that Musk is a pathetic POS who is more than deserving of the guillotine.
I know I sound utterly and irrationally angry at this whole situation right now and trust me, I am. I also know that this post may cause some people to object to what I'll say, but again, this is just how I feel. I don't know how things are gonna go right now, and I'm just fearful of the future at the moment.
Again, don't know how you will all react to this long post, but this is just how I feel right now...

To be completely honest with you, your rant is justified. I mean, I'd be crazy if I lost contact with people I've known/met. It's tedious to start from the bottom. I have a Twitter account for my entrance themes project and I follow mostly composers, video makers, graphic designers and people that have supported me and if the site goes to the ground, I'd surely be mad as you.

I'm getting tired at people who give me the stinkeye for using handicap spaces just because I have an invisible disability. They think I'm able-bodied and cheating the system when I very much need it because of my ACL. Not just because of it being closer to a sloped curb or a shorter distance to walk, but also the extra room handicap spaces have on the side to get in and out of the car. I need the extra leg room to maneuver in and out of the car while keeping my knee stable and pain-free.
There's a reason I have the blue placard, f***os. Don't assume I'm perfectly fine just because I'm not using a wheelchair.
Related, there are a lot of cynical, sad people out there that think that ambulatory wheelchair users are faking their disability and need for a wheelchair because they aren't outright paralyzed. There's a lot of reasons why someone would need a wheelchair to get around besides paralysis.

All of the crap that happened yesterday with Erica Lindbeck (the voice actress, for those of you who don't know) really gnawed my cheese.
For those who don't know what I'm talking about: Lindbeck asked someone who had sampled her voice work from Persona 5 (where she played Futaba) to generate an AI recording of that character singing "Welcome to the Internet" by Bo Burnham, as that could cause issues for her going down the road. They agreed and took it down, and that should have been the end of it. Instead, a bunch of techbros decided to be absolute knobs and began to harass Lindbeck and started reuploading the video to YouTube, to the point where she got frustrated and just deleted her account entirely. The cherry on the sundae was the techbros acting like they had won some great battle in doing so, and not understanding why she'd be upset.
And while it's nice that most people have been dunking on these morons, it's still just some absolute scummy shit and... yuck.

Erica is like the nicest person, too. And the techbro scumbags acted like she was the one who harassed them. Pieces of shit.
