my hypermobile joints cringe seeing people in TV shows getting dragged across the floor by just one arm/leg

"remember me" + "don't ask me again" = the biggest lies of internet tick boxes

I think what cheeses me off the most about this is that it's an ad for an aid to help w gender dysphoria & I just spent 30 days writing about how images of gender non-normativity or representations of gender queer people are often interpreted as homoerotic content. Learn the difference @bsky.app

feeling this again today as i try to hold out getting Netflix for stranger things for 5 days so I only have to pay for 1 month

kinda wish bsky would add an option to hide posts that don't use alt text on images

BEGGING people to write an actual fucking description in the alt text and not just a silly joke that helps no-one.

the government attacking the motability scheme is absolutely pathetic lol, the way nobody seems to grasp its purpose is ridiculous

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

Here are my top 10 dogs carrying big sticks!

finally, officially signed off work until maternity leave kicks in because pregnancy symptoms are kicking my ass today's flavour: pelvic girdle pain. good lord it's awful.

the advert for pepto bismol is one of the worst things to come out of british tv advertising in a very long time. the words of the song are an earworm i wouldn't wish upon most people.

current drama on my neighbourhood facebook page is that the evri driver appears to be deliberately leaving parcels in obscure places so he can go back and steal them later 👀

i am a baby

people are being very complimentary to me today 🤗 it's nice

She sees your fandom as affirmation, your money as funding for the harm she causes to trans people. It doesn't matter how you feel about her work, whether it was a formative touchstone or not. If you still buy the merch or hype up Harry Potter, you are complicit.

just opened my new toothpaste that i thought was just a larger tube of the one i got last time but it is not and it tastes horrible and now i'm stuck with this big tube and can only hope my mouth adjusts to the taste

28 weeks today which means officially third trimester 🥰 baby's growing and now i feel every bit of it, feet poking out, head getting wedged under my ribs. safe to say it's super surreal and super weird but also super cool. still a lot about pregnancy that sucks but we're nearly there now!!

me: ugh, it feels like I've done 3 sit ups my family: that's not many?? me: it is for me 😭

Daily Darby

day 501 of posting a picture of edward teach every day until we save ofmd:

The Kraken I was apparently in A Mood last night. #OFMD #OFMDfanart

one of my biggest pet peeves is news articles clickbaiting me with "xyz game remake due 20xx" but then you read and it's actually just a remaster pls let's make this clear: remaster - improving the graphics and maybe the controls and stuff a bit remake - rebuilding the game from scratch

my sister asking me about 3 times today "is it snowing there?" as if i live 5 hours and not 5 minutes away is really tickling me folks: every time, it has been snowing, and it's been snowing at her house too

i am so thankful that i have a dog who hates snow and rain SO much i don't have to bribe him to come inside 🙏 ofc he offsets this by basking in heatwaves and making us fret about heatstroke but that's a summer problem

I am once again begging: Please use alt text & Refuse to repost something if it doesn't have alt text (unless you are adding alt text to the image as well) Let's not leave anybody behind. Show that you care about accessibility, PLEASE

Alt text must provide context for people who cannot see the image. Describe the image's context and purpose. Do not write alt text for cute or clever jokes based on visual content you expect users can see. This is an abuse of alt text, as it violates the whole point of alt text.

love when i see a post begging to be shared but doesn’t have alt text, and then adding insult to injury the OP has replies turned off so you can’t even call the accessibility bot to assist, so yeah, no, i’m sorry but it looks like your post is gonna stay in purgatory, i guess

still seeing a lot of posts from ofmd folk without alt text 💔 so just a reminder if you go to your bsky settings ➡️ accessibility, there are ticky boxes to a) make the alt text box bigger and b) remind you to add alt text to photos 💜

rereading my own fic because it scratches a very specific itch (the main reason i write fics) and ugh, i forgot just how much i love it 💜 the garlic soup, better call saul-esque sequel is languishing in my mind but i want that to happen someday too

just ordered a full sized cheesecake from my local cake shop, chilli chocolate flavour, as a christmas eve treat to myself and i have 0 regrets

Accidentally got hooked by Tom Daley's knitting show and I'm absolutely loving the puns and the warmth and it's making me want to get my knitting needles back out

I'm all about that hydration life so I upgraded my bottle 💦

I love how the ambient noises for hospitals in TV shows/movies includes newborn crying even if there's no reason for a newborn to be anywhere near that particular ward

my mam was meant to have a phone call with the universal credit people this morning as part of her managed migration from ESA. appointment time came and went. kept putting messages in her online journal saying we were waiting for the call. hours later they replied saying they'd tried 8 times.

managed to knock a bit of stress off my life and gonna kick 2 (or at least 1.5) more things off it on friday, woohoo

give me one week without stress or anxiety, i beg

It’s been another hot minute since I posted some art Enjoy some beach husbands I cooked up literally in a few days for wee con. #ofmd #ofmdfanart #ourflagmeansdeath #gentlebeard

trying to talk myself into backup options for this baby's name in case it doesn't suit what i've picked but i keep talking myself out of them by finding an issue with each one and i'm like, what if i'm missing a really obvious critique of the name i am set on just because i love it????

such a shame captain frenchie died before season 3 aired oh well who's captain now?

If you see this, I implore you to post a pic from your device without context.

gonna be real i spent most of Thursday and Friday writing up a defence for my sister for the parking charge notice she received in May and while I'm confident the case is strong, I'm suddenly getting random bursts of anxiety I've made a horrible mistake and will cost her thousands

Do you know how much I wish the show had followed history only a tiny bit and had Stede go by Captain Edwards? Make that man miss Ed so much he takes his name

Have you seen him today Now you have

anywayyyy fandom has always been a mix of paid and free events and BOTH are lots of fun! there is PLENTY of free stuff to enjoy and you don't need to be bitter about the paid ones and you DEFINITELY don't need to try and ruin future ones for other people 💜

ohhhh my god NOOO

I feel like I'm losing a bit. Did I seriously never officially put her up on here?? Anyway, raise your motherfuckin' glasses! 🐚 #ofmd #OurFlagMeansDeath

phantosmia of the day: freshly baked shortbread 🤔

you can love a character and still admit when they’re wrong. i love ed teach but can acknowledge his flaws (he has none) & can hold him accountable for his wrong doings (he’s never done anything wrong in his life) & call him out for his actions (which are always correct)

can we talk about ed's hair during calypso's birthday because the way it's glistening and all purple silvery pink is making me insane
