"sure, I can write female characters" I'm rewatching TNG. It's now at the bottom of my ranking. (which went viral, presumably for being so good) Revised ranking: DS9 > VOY > ENT > DISCO > TOS > BNW > TNG

I want to be hopeful, but this really isn't giving me 'Star Trek' vibes

at this stage is anyone left in the country not on one of the HSE's waiting lists #speirghorm

This sign raises more questions than it answers

i had a friend who had textbook NPD and watching him get *kinder* as he slowly learned to like all of the parts of himself was something to behold

"I'm not a perfectionist i just want things to be right" - literally every single perfectionist

tech peaked a few years ago, buy everything second hand, support your local repair person

lovely painting + also i can use it to talk about this how #painting or drawing from a photo is different (not worse!) Not only did the photographer (often the painter themself) decide the composition already, the lens did If it's a wide angle lens like this it's easy to see, but it's always true

so i wake up to the sound of Christmas boxes being shifted in the attic and i go downstairs a while later. Mariah Carey is streaming on his phone and partner has started putting up decorations "Are you excited?" I ask "it's a pain in the ass" he responds

Healthcare workers risked their lives going to work in 2020 and now the government is going to turn their back on the survivors who are still disabled by long covid #ireland #speirghorm www.rte.ie/news/2025/11...

never had a spending problem before and it's come out of nowhere. I think i need to rewatch fight club other thing: I'm so bad with numbers i've never ever known what my disposable income is and so never sure if buying a shirt is going to mean i can't make rent or if actually i could buy 10 of them

enjoying the layers in this

i can vouch that you cannot. I held out a really long time before getting a smartphone because internet addiction and the number of things you simply can *not* do, everyone and everything just expects you to have one. I only recently started to pay for data though, in the last few months.

Today there was a fly in my room, I opened the window and he flew straight out. Then I got into work and there was a wasp (!), again, I opened the window and he flew straight out. I am become the insect whisperer, freer of buzzing buddies

waiting for flying tiger to release this

Midnight’s finders were able to get him back into the vet & had his injured leg treated (an abscessed, infected cat bite from fighting other toms). He unfortunately is positive for both FIV & FeLV, a sad result of being left unfixed & living outside. He needs a special home to either foster/adopt—

I also joined in 2023, but I knew about it way before then and couldn't get an invite because everyone here either didn't know me or knew me too well

my work persona makes fewer stupid jokes and people seem to like her better but I don't care I'm going to keep making stupid jokes

Trying to comfort my friend, who is having a hard time, by explaining that Thomas the Tank Engine did not appear until the second book in The Railway Series. I display such an intense teary-eyed sincerity that while I do not make her feel better, it is the main thing she thinks about at my funeral.

On the other site, an 18-year-old Zohran canvasser described the legendary Wallace Shawn as "the actor who plays Dr. Sturgis on Young Sheldon" which is honestly adorable

i finally found a website that will convert files to monochrome (not greyscale) for my antiquated printer.. i would much prefer an offline program that does that if someone knows one..

Some Fastway hauliers are owed more than €100,000, their representatives say

eh, no

Jesus Christ

Actually, God's actual commands regarding loving our neighbor DO mention culture and language: the OT is full of "love and do justice to the aliens who are among you for you too were once aliens and sojourners in the foreign land," and then there's the whole Good Samaritan parable

if you have an old udemy course don't forget to opt out of letting them use it to train an LLM here: www.udemy.com/instructor/a... deadline (which was extended) is approaching

i have like six parcels due through #fastways and their parent company just went into receivership. Dear drivers: if holding my parcels for ransom helps you get paid then you go ahead and do that. You hold all the parcels you want. But i really hope i get my parcels #parcelconnect #nuvion

I'm giving away a signed copy of The Swallows of Lunetto, my novel about fascism in Italy, because I think we need to understand how the madness can happen anywhere. Just leave a like/comment so I see you, and I'll drop your name in the hat. I hope this book holds its little 🕯️.

What the actual.. that's not his! how is he allowed to tear that down? Can you imagine if Miggeldy decided to just tear down part of the Aras... what the actual.. THAT IS NOT HIS

this rocks. when indiana edu killed the student newspaper, Purdue stepped up, printed the forbidden issue, drove it to Bloomington and stocked the boxes.

my cat actually loves having belly scritches but i can't do them right and partner has tried to show me to no avail she rolls over and then just rolls back, looking disappointed in my clumsy efforts

Me, watching #Wayward: "I am a dog??" Partner: . . . Partner: "I am Canadian"

literacy is the only important thing i got from primary and secondary school imho literacy and trauma. I suppose i have a little numeracy but literacy is the gateway to all other learning, once you can read at a college level (which most of us nerds could as teenagers) you are set for life

my brain jumped to "HE CAN JUGGLE AS WELL!?" why does brain think trained performer = juggling for one thing, surely most jugglers are self-taught

i say something to them and then block before they have a chance to reply i don't think anyone can see what i said after i block them, but it helps me complete that gestalt

why did they dress him in that way

I would like to know if anyone who has ever found a therapist who's a good fit for them and had a full course of treatment ALSO thinks that LLMs can be "like therapists" or is it all people basing their idea of therapy on pop culture, where the therapist is usually unethical, because that checks

Not that this is a common offer, but don't accept a job that others would kill for if you wouldn't/didn't. The culture will be toxic in confusing ways and nobody will explain it.

self-help books from about 30 years ago had this thing where the whole introduction and some early chapters were dedicated to *how good this book you are reading is* and how clever meanwhile in the last 10 years they don't even have introductions because they know people skip them

aw it's so sweet when someone sends you a free ebook thanks but, honey, according to goodreads i am just over halfway through 37 books I bought and paid for

I hope someone unearths partner's teenage metal band in time for when his VFX job is replaced by AI
