if some more ppl besides the usual suspects (i love you all, you're doing great, no notes) could also spread this around, y'know - that'd be. that'd be great. i haven't gotten anyone to fill the gaps yet and need the gaps filled. ... look, my birthday's this month. mean a lot if i got any present.

naivete. I need to see them acting from an incomplete understanding of the world (though I always hope to see them overcome it)

god, when a kamen rider hits, it never fails to hit

regret to inform &c &c this isn't a tiktok thing, I was seeing this crap online in author spaces fifteen years ago during the Kindle gold-rush

I still can't go past a subway without thinking 'eef freef'

I think this is maybe the most 'actually feels like living in the future' thing I've ever seen

lost a couple patrons for my patreon this month. much as i struggle to produce updates for it for psychological reasons, i do have to note it *is* my sole source of income, the means by which i pay my rent, and thus every dollar counts, and that loss *is* gonna hurt. so if *anyone* new can sign up--

truly you can resolve most of western philosophy by thinking about this post long enough

howdy! buy a trans gal a fucking pizza please. i could *really* use it. paypal.me/19012501 ko-fi.com/tarawrist cash.app/yedinurama venmo.com/Tara-Hillege...

happy trans day of visibility! support our podcast on patreon and follow us on here at @slimebug.bsky.social for updates on stuff

oh, sooooooooo many trans women are women, black people are not 'intellectually inferior', we shouldn't hold random bystanders at fault when a railway operator suffers a catastrophic sequence of safety failures, people aren't 'irrational' just because you ignore or don't understand their reasons...

Any time a community solves a problem with ingenuity and discussion rather than Someone Goes On A Quest. Also, when the climactic confrontation of a story is some form of trial/justice proceeding rather than a fight

come watch me boggle at my absurd gamer savant wife

A new contender for best headline

Racing Lagoon. Bring all the racing stuff up to the best of contemporary arcade racer feel, preserve as much of the PS1 graphics as possible, and absolutely do not change the cut scene character animations

Hey look it's stream time! twitch.tv/etcetega

Anime's nearly done for the season, which means it's nearly time for anime to start for the season! Do you wanna find out what's airing? How about the shape of our takes from the season that's ending? Find out both on our stream, on Val's Twitch channel, at 2pm PDT! That's in a little over 2hrs!

Hey, wouldja look at that, a new podcast episode just in time for you to listen to it before our livestream tonight!

Is it 'post anime trailers that becky's not allowed to watch until after tonight's stream' day?? (reminder: tonight Val and I are streaming our seasonal @slimebug.bsky.social So We're Watching That, Right? show picking, starting at around 9PM UK time/5PM Eastern/2PM Pacific!)

I wholeheartedly believe this, but also it sure does get me Forcibly Removed From The Graphic Design Class a bunch

saturdayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

it's a shame that capcom refuses to revisit the breath of fire franchise... i'd even go for a spinoff or something. maybe something like Breath of Fire Adventures.... that's right, BOFA- [lena is dragged away from her computer]

staring at LRT and yeah, that -is- unbelievable. I cannot entirely wrap my head around it. I get that it's windy right now, but that wind is producing OVER HALF OUR ELECTRICITY?????? truly fuckin' wild accomplishment even from the perspective of like five years ago

I know we all say it a lot but it is REALLY recent that numbers like this were close to unimaginable, for a grid the size of Britain and its current level of interconnection elsewhere. This is important because pretending we can't exist without fossil fuels is a big lie designed to stop us trying

i spent more time on this than i should've, and that amount of time is "any at all"

hi! spread this far and wide on film bsky if you like. i'm in a funk. i need something new to see. i've got a shitton of reliables dgmw but i feel rootless all the same. SO: tell me 10 films you've loved that've lingered with you most from the last 12 months! important: NO OSCAR NOMINEES ALLOWED

I want the flower gardens in public parks tended year round and in bloom all spring and summer. I want the golf courses reforested and an end to the profession of ransoming housing. I want safe places to eat, drink and be merry among friends and strangers for everyone, including recovering addicts.

Good morning, afternoon, evening, good grief. This week's episode of So We're Watching That, Right? is about a great many things, but it's also about the stories that we don't roast our wives with on record, as an act of mercy. Episode's up on YouTube and Libsyn!

trying to scrape through the last day and a half till the money goes in (sometimes I am lucky and it goes in on Friday, alas not this time). Thanks for the help getting this far, nearly over the hill.

A friend just sent me this perfect piece by Karel Čapek, trans. Dora Round, ‘From the Point of View of a Cat’.

I'll be posting my first Patreon-exclusive TTRPG content tomorrow! I'm both excited and nervous. It's all about mimics! I know that without a budget and team of artists it'll be almost impossible to break out at as an indie TTRPG dev. But that's ok! www.patreon.com/c/ScarletMagus
