Crabcore represents the platonic idea of metalcore, a genre which, like the humble crab, offers the perfect form into which all other life eventually evolves

Beth Hapworth, 38, who needs clear and direct communication from others in order to avoid misunderstandings, has reportedly become an expert in dancing around, pussyfooting and eggshell-treading.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

One minor life inconvenience from making a playlist of songs about [redacted] called "songs to chop vegetables to"

Too bad that flat-textured façades of flat buildings ruined this game and made it unplayable, otherwise I would be sobbing as I play through the endgame of Pokemon Legends ZA.

Sort of infuriated and also deeply embarrassed to learn my GPA is apparently not 4.0 🙃

the ADHD urge to say “let’s get down to business” and then do literally anything else

I do not have a dream job for I ✨ do not dream of labor ✨

Has to be rough on parents checking their kids candy for weed gummies to realize it’s a made up moral panic and also they don’t get any free weed gummies

bro biologists won't even agree on the definition of "alive" you think you can get them to back you on "two genders" lmao

Thanks for the heads up! AI is a plague that needs to be wiped from the surface of the Earth.

RESIST ENSHITTIFICATION:

Three days before Halloween and I just got an ad to go Christmas shopping, so it's time for my favorite tradition: Hating capitalism & being a fanboy for Corey Taylor's work from 1999 to 2016 in particular youtu.be/od7GUy9XS7c

Fuck a five year plan, my scholarly agenda is to take a noun and turn it into an adjective and throw it in front of the word "thinking."

Other person: I have an anxiety disorder ME: Not me, my anxiety is extremely well organized

I think the real secret to my baking skill is that the second you put me in front of a recipe, critical sirens go off in my brain warning me of an urgent emergency I must get as exactly right as possible as quickly as possible or my baked goods—and a part of my soul along with them—will die.

Oxford commas, em dashes, semi-colons, and whatever the fuck else are only red flags for AI to those who do not know how grammar and punctuation work. "GenAI" is a series of input-output formulas in a trench coat. It does not and cannot know grammar—or anything else. It executes sequences.

If you get a flu shot, you can get a donut after. It's not free I just had two good ideas.

WOOSH! ✨ You have been blessed by wizard cat

Don't wave me across the intersection when I'm running and you're driving, just let me run behind your car. You're manipulating a multi-ton vehicle that, if you get distracted for a moment, will kill or grievously injured me. Please graciously let me take that possibility off the table.

It should be illegal to post a photo or video of a person under 18 on the internet. Exceptions for medical research but that should have their likeness removed. Trying to become famous using your child on the internet or make your child famous on the internet should be a crime.

The decline of third spaces and hangouts, such as malls, video rental places, arcades & skate parks has been a direct result of the rise of convenience and has also been objectively bad for society as a whole. Its not that everyone HAS to socialize, but having no option to without bars is a failing.

me @ my own dissertation, basically every single day at this point:

Nobody can know everything, let alone everything by their own research. We always rely on experts to navigate our complex world. The question is whether we pick credentialed and experienced people or internet demagogues and grifters.

Over 4.25 years into a PhD program in rhetoric and composition and I have finally realized "discursive" and "subversive" are different words. Please clap.

Accidentally stayed up until 3:30am working on my dissertation again. FML. I hate it here. I wanna go home (this is home, I am at home, where my bed is, in which I should have been sleeping starting 3 hours ago, when I wanted to do so, and _literally lost track of time_). Wrote over 2k words tho.

I am in a zoom meeting of all time. Can I offer an unsolicited piece of life advise for, like, basically anyone? If you _lead_ with uncertainty and a lack of confidence in what you are doing, even if you are the most competent and capable person, you're planting the seed of doubt in your audience.

Any way you slice (or toast or freeze) it, I feel like protein pop-tarts is a sign we live in the bad timeline www.msn.com/en-us/foodan...

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Today, October 13th, we celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day and International Plain Language Day! Take some time today to learn about what these holidays are and why they are important!

Well, well, well, if it is the consequence to your own actions #FuckDavidDraiman #OhWaAhAhAh

Wake up babe!! New contender for best video on the Internet just dropped!!

Today's hot take is that if Ohio really were a series of networked college towns, the state overall would be much more blue. If it is just corn everywhere else--and it certainly is not--then that corn is astonishingly, deeply conservative 🤷

GOOD NEWS

Great read about why "profound autism"-separatists do harm to the autistic community and especially their autistic loved ones. Without meaning to speak over how harmful the notion of "profound" autism is to those with higher support needs and co-occuring intellectual disabilities, 1/6

When you're struggling with your purpose in life and finding things to motivate you through the day-to-day slog of being a person in a society that is questionable at best, remember there are ALWAYS more sick tattoos to get :3

If their boycott is successful and you still continue to use Netflix after, I will simply have this to say: Fuck you, I hate you, you're fascist fucking scum

Might delete my account if the creator of this platform has one more shitty take. I do get a lot of news on here, but here's the thing I'm finally realizing: We might be able to fix all this, but we will never be able to go back. There's no restarting from the last save in 2015 or whatever.

Good morning. Impeach him. (Impeach them all.)

Trying to call my congressors to tell them to impeach pete "war crimes and misogyny are fun" hegseth and one of three of their mailboxes were full. We love to see it!! But we can do more!! Whether it's Hegseth, RFK, or Trump, we want the same goal: IMPEACH. CONVICT. REMOVE.

Age-verification laws are making it difficult for adult sites to get indexed, since the crawlers can’t always bypass AV. Which results in lower indexing. Which results in lower traffic. Which results in censorship.
