I love the symphony. I get to sit down in my little chair and listen to beautiful music. I am surrounded by old people who probably know very little about AI. People make the sounds with their hands and beautiful instruments. It's so wonderful.

normally I'm pretty good about not holding movies to book standards but tho I enjoyed the gdt Frankenstein movie overall, many of the choices of deviation from the book were BAFFLING to me

nothing like an extremely fun ttrpg sesh to put you in a good mood for days 💖💖💖

it's interesting to observe that my friends who are most interested in the nastiest, most toxic relationship dynamics in fiction tend to have extremely healthy relationships irl

lmao I was refreshing myself on the story of Medea and this was a search result

The global whaling industry experienced a boom c. 1840-1950 as technology allowed whalers to hunt the Southern Ocean around Antarctica. Under standard models, we would have expected krill populations to have *exploded*. Instead, they DROPPED exponentially. Let's talk about the KRILL PARADOX.

GOOD THINGS ARE ALWAYS POSSIBLE. FUCK DOOMERISM. ALWAYS PUSH FORWARD.

The autumn vibes have finally hit me🍂😤!! making pumpkin cookies w homemade pecan toffee, slow roasting some meat, eating some salmon chowder with crusty bread.....yes...YES....

for some reason my caramel keeps burning. I've had to redo it like three times. it is probably unrelated to the fact that I keep leaving it alone to go play Hades II. who can say.

have faith in your own experiences and interpretations!!! let your personal experience of something have meaning, as opposed to trying to find the “correct” meaning

I ate this pig shaped custard bun this weekend in NYC and I'm still thinking about her

i have no idea how ppl are still on twitter. not even like, for the moral reasons, just whenever i have the misfortune of having to go on it i take so much psychic damage. it is just a terrible, stressful website to be on rn

Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves. One for practice and the other one is the "main" grave.

To be clear: LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government. The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency. This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors. ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart. ISILDUR: true

Greta Thunberg has arrived in Greece following her deportation from Israel, after the Gaza aid flotilla was intercepted #GlobalSumudFlotilla She said: “I could talk for a very,very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me, but that is not the story.” #Athens airport

You. Are. Allowed. To. Insult. The. Police. It’s a core First Amendment principle. This is utterly lawless behavior, for which there will be no (short-term) consequences. That he does it so casually, as they are walking away, in front of cameras. Rightly confident in his impunity.

Inland Empire: "You should totally sing karaoke here, the first chance you get. Your emotions need to be expressed. People need to know of your vast, oceanic soul." "My soul is immense." "Utterly. And it needs to be heard. Through a PA system. By other people." #DiscoElysium #FanArt

aging Cassandra has been living in my head for a while now, it is time to set her free #dragonage

This is my regular reminder to everyone that jstor is open to the general public now; a free account there will give you access to 100 papers a year.

What might not occur to you upon reading this headline is that, in other words, ICE is targeting gay men of color Every queer press org should be picking up this story

playing Hades II, out for the foreseeable future

um holy shit?! Amazing work by the striking workers and BDS?!!

I think one of the most important things about developing a romantic pairing is figuring out how they spend the in-between times together. They can have all the tension and explosive sex in the world but if they're together 4ever they need to also. hang out.

I was really dehydrated at a concert and then the bass from the DJ's table knocked his unopened disposable water bottle off the stage and right in front of me. miracles do happen and god wanted me to shake my ass more 🙏💗

Annual sea salt ice cream made, added a paopu fruit this year. I, unfortunately, at my core, love kingdom hearts

IT guy at work ends his sentences with '~!' and uses '^^' and that's how I know I can trust him absolutely

I passed my driver's test after over a decade of anxiety over it 😭

my urge to go back and play more elden ring must be akin to the urge that mothers have to give birth again after their hormones block out all the trauma.

(Person who destroyed homeless peoples belongings with a smile on their face) political violence is bad

ive stopped forcing myself to engage in conversation with people lately, and just let myself be quiet. i usually felt like i had to maintain conversation No Matter What. tbh i dont know if im enjoying being quieter or not, but it does feel more authentic to myself, so thats? nice?

On one hand, reducing car use reduces urban pollution. But on the other, everyone likes it and cities become more livable

a lot of protags in books love reading/libraries, which is cute and reflective of the author/audience. I decided to do something different, which is why all of my characters are dumb as rocks and also illiterate.

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

this transfem dorian gray remix by @elleoftheball.bsky.social has consumed me, body and soul "What would it mean to look like Dorian, instead of someone else's reflection. I can't picture it. My features come to mind easily enough... but they feel disjoined." bookshop.org/p/books/this...
