A nanosecond into DOOOOOM HOOOOUSE and I can't help but laugh. Maybe you had to be there, when the internet was a much smaller place and we tied onions to our nipple armor, which was the fashion at the time

@cwbuecheler Those were the fucking days, you know? I mean, I know you know, you were there, but just… ugh. The real donkeypunch to the good old days is how utterly oblivious to it we all were back then, back when "the good old days" were just… our days.

Today, it has been 3 months since my father died.

Yesterday, his ashes were delivered to me in the urn I chose for him: An icosahedron handcrafted from ambrosia maple, the wood buffed to a quiet, satin glow. It's perfect.

You finally rolled that nat20, Daddy. Welcome home.

@therealcliffyb If he dies, he dies.

Don't worry, buddy. Don't worry, buddy. Don't worry, buddy. Don't worry, buddy. Don't worry, buddy. Don't worry, buddy. Don't worry, buddy. Don't worry, buddy. Don't worry, buddy. Don't worry, buddy. Don't worry, buddy. Don't worry, buddy. Don't worry, buddy. Don't worry, buddy.

I am this old

[Dear Mynx aka @tryjen née omg teh @mynx @DearMynx]

@Exile451 @romero But my favorite episode of Today in Genetics was the time I answered the phone to one of my friends yelling over music: "We're in this bar, right, and I'm all…"does that bass player look exactly like jbb's kids?" but then I was like "OH!" So…your ex?"
Yup. It was their dad.😂😂

ATTENTION PLEASE: I would like to take a brief moment of your time to announce that this amazing human, #QuakeBaby v2, will be TWENTY. YEARS. OLD. TOMORROW.

I taught her to say "Daikatana" before she even learned to walk, just to record and send that .wav to @romero. 😂

[Dear Mynx aka @tryjen née omg teh @mynx @DearMynx]

@Exile451 @romero I once sent her into a shop to pick something up for me; she went in, said "hey y'all, I'm here to pick up an order for my m-" and they were like "your mom, yeah, you didn't even need to say a word, you look exactly like her." 😂

[Fish Lady Abs @Exile451]

@DearMynx @romero Good God, I remember back when Quake Baby was exciting news!

I believe I’m officially old now...

[Dear Mynx aka @tryjen née omg teh @mynx @DearMynx]

1. "THIS is twenty-years-old: SERIOUSNESS. It's serious, Mom: I'm twenty. Seriously. Serious business only."
2. "Look ma, bathroom mirror selfie! Different from all 840 bathroom mirror selfies, bc it's a bathroom mirror in my own apartment."
3. "BUT SERIOUS."

[Dear Mynx aka @tryjen née omg teh @mynx @DearMynx]

And so this tiny turkey turned 20, which means both #QuakeBaby v1 AND v2 really are wholeass entire actual adults in their TWENTIES, but it just seems so…sudden?

I mean…okay, yes, I HAVE spent the last 200,000 hours* raising them but… damn.

*What is the hourly rate for THAT?
