“So Many Reasons To Be Thankful” My guys having Thanksgiving feast together Art by @nsfw-gex.bsky.social

The Gods of Modern America: Superman & Captain America: twins who represent power in service to & in defense of the people Bugs Bunny: trickster god of transformation & comedy The Influencer: ever changing deity of attention, adoration, beauty, love, & tragedy. Always the most eyecatching

I feel like this is part of why so many of them are so invested in longevity/immortality treatments. On some level, they’re certain they’re going to The Bad Place after they die & want to forestall that for as long as possible.

Just got my KS #boardgame package for #GoodDogBadZombie by the #TesaCollective. One of the pledge levels included getting your own pet as a playable piece, so here’s Starsky! #dogs #DogSky #DogsOfBluesky

Starsky pouting because I was working instead of petting him. #dogs #DogSky

Got my stickers & vinyl cling (the rainbow parking pass) from @toadkingstudios.bsky.social and they look great! The stickers are even larger than I expected & I can’t wait to put them places! #SCP #SCPFoundation #MC&D #SerpentsHand #stickers #HolographicStickers #gay #queer #LGBT

Hot take: Santa is the world’s largest conspiracy.

I refuse to believe this song & video weren’t directly inspired by #SCP. Honestly, it’s weird (but good!) seeing SCP and references to it becoming more… not mainstream, but known? Like, if you’re in nerd space online, it’d be weird to NOT know about SCP.

Sometimes I think the only real way you can tell something doesn’t exist is b/c capitalism isn’t blatantly & flagrantly exploiting it. If magic was real, Walmart would be selling 1-use spells in brightly colored packaging. If Nessie were real, it’d’ve been cloned & we’d be eating Nessie Nuggetz

Read the thread. A big theme that emerges is that students just… don’t read. At all. And consider requirements to read something burdensome. IMO, it seems like the 2 main culprits are a reading method called 3-cueing & COVID-related cog issues.

Oh dear god, please let this be satire. The “flier” looks like it was made by a high school freshman, the Grimes tweet quoted sounds fake (plz), and the host names are some of the fakest shit. Please, universe, tell me this is fake.

I suspect that part of Trump’s certainty a out the “autopen” is because it’s what he wants to do. Have it happen automatically so he can enjoy the parts of the Presidency that he likes.

Happy Thanksgiving! Whether with family or with friends, I hope you all have a satisfying and enjoyable time! Remember that the food is less important than being together with those you care about 🦃🍽️🥔🍠🧄🧅🍞🥕🫛🥧

Capitalism poisoned nostalgia so much that some people can’t seem to enjoy nostalgia of *any* kind now. Not all nostalgia is bad? So what if you like a seasonal food or family tradition just because of nostalgia?? It’s fine!! Let yourself enjoy harmless things and warm fuzzy memories.

Had a chiro appt this afternoon & it’s near an ABC (state-run hard liquor) store. The parking lot over there was *INSANE* and there was a line out down the street for people trying to pull into the lot. And like, I get that some ppl need booze to deal w/ relatives, but plan ahead! #Thanksgiving

Random thoughts: You can tell subtextual intent in media by design shapes. If something is all/mostly straight lines and corners, it’s likely “evil” or suspicious. If it’s all smooth curves, it’s likely “good” or wholesome. Too much of either falls into Uncanny Valley type effect & is disquieting.

Jesus wept. I mean, this both surprises me & doesn’t. I never expected this, but it ABSOLUTELY fits their M.O.

Cosmo Sheldrake sounds like he’s channeling a nature spirit that learned modern music theory (positive).

I’m in the mood for some new music. What’re some new songs that y’all are vibing to? Anything released in the last 5 years, any genre. #music #NewMusic

This looks interesting. Lots of stuff from indie sellers on a holiday sale at @backerkit.com www.backerkit.com/c/collection... #TTRPG #IndieGames #comics #games #sale #Xmas #WinterHoliday #HolidaySale

Interesting. Couple of people not where I expected

Okay but I do think about her all the time. Just a tall, cool lady with a shiny golden eye.

When I’m finally properly hydrated: My body: WHAT VILE LIQUID HAVE TO FED US?! Me: It’s just water B: POISON!!! Me: You need it to live B: LIES!!! B: *aggressive need to piss out a gallon*

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

no but this time I mean it: oh my God

In #Anglish, the #SCP Foundation would be the BIF (Belatch, Infold, Forstand) Drightfold. Or the SBL (Sunderly Beclipping Laws) Drightfold. Might make an interesting article to be entirely in Anglish. Or a Tale that references a Foundation that uses Anglish.

I’ve bought stickers from her before as Xmas gifts last year & they were incredibly cute in person & everyone I sent them to liked them.

I get that people on the left love to rag on the media’s over-reporting of the male loneliness epidemic. I do! But it’s not a joke; it’s a result of patriarchy that many men are so steeped in that they don’t know it’s there. Specifically, that (cishet) men are taught since birth that…

Went to the post office to buy stamps and made a joke about how empty it was since we’re so close to the holidays, and the person working the counter said “yeah no one is shipping stuff because no one has money right now” Dark, but very true

Jfc. I like Venmo, really. It makes it so easy to transfer money from person to person. But I submitted a large-ish ($1000+) payment & it took *TWO FUCKING WEEKS* before it tried to pull from my bank account. By then I thought it had already been pulled (b/c it’s usually same or next day) &

Cosmic/eldritch horror only instead of the Them hating or being indifferent to humanity, they *love* us. & not in the obsessive stalker way, but more like beloved pets. An ant farm or bowl of sea monkeys. It *loves* us in unknowable & madness-inducing ways.

SO. MANY. HOT. GUYS. AT. CON. HHHNGH!!!

Dawn of the Second Day

@bobgreencols.bsky.social came out to visit while I’m in Dayton! We’ve been friends over 20 years and haven’t seen each other in the flesh in something like 12, so it was really nice to be able to just hang out & shoot the shit. 😁

Dinner with the guys at the con. Good company, good games, good times 😁 @targrus.org @kaijustew.bsky.social @legendce.bsky.social

I T B E G I N S @acadecon.bsky.social here we go!

Good evening, esteemed colleagues! Once again, the hallowed academic conference @acadecon.bsky.social is upon us! Unfortunately, your faithful correspondent is a touch under the weather, so I am unable to be there to present my findings in person. As consolation, we have a salr for the duration!

I had felt ambivalent abt legally marrying 1 of my hubbies b/c didn’t want to prioritize 1 over the other. But recent SCOTUS rulings & fed gov’t actions are leading us to marriage to protect ourselves. Already applied for a license for me & the younger hubby. I hate that this feels necessary.

I’m starting up a new campaign soon using 5e 2024, set in the modern world except magic appeared suddenly about a year ago & things have been acclimating since (ppl slowly turning to other races, classes developing, etc.). Trying to decide if Trump turns into a goblin or not.

Starsky was cold yesterday morning. #DogSky #DogsOfBluesky #cute #dog #ColdMorning
