Fresh from the shelter, Dru was unreachable, fearful, and traumatized. WeRateDogs became my hope-y place. I'd cry about all the happy dogs as a cover for crying in despair. It helped. I persevered. We made it! Mad props to WeRateDogs. They ushered me through some dark days. Congrats on a decade!

Oh my gosh they hugged again! And there are other weapons! I wonder what they are. I wonder if anyone uses chain mail. I have so many questions but I'll have to find out the answers later. Rn I have to stop searching for medieval tabbard-style hoodies and go to sleep.

2 am thoughts: is Moonbay from Zoids Black? I always thought she was and I liked that, but she seems less Black now? Not to say light skinned people can't be Black (obvs. "high yellow" here) or people with straight hair, but more like there's progressive lightening to remove evidence of Blackness.

Never thought I'd say this sentence but, it was really nice to see these two fully plate-armored MMA fighters put down their swords, duke it out, and then hug at the end of the match. That was a wholesome-feeling moment. Maybe it's the ponderous armor but this type of MMA seems kinda chill.

At nighttime YouTube just be so extra. Just recommending ANY kinda thing. Not complaining; seems like about 1am the algorithm gets to recommend the *most* unhinged stuff. I love it. Figure skating has been my favorite sport for years but mma with armor and longswords...🔥 youtu.be/E25-Fw8WlT4?...

My dog is like "mother, I'm not like other children. They yearn for the mines but I yearn for your sour candy"

I put hay into the hay basket for the bunnies. They nibble a bunch but throw a bunch on the floor of the hutch in front of the basket. Then they make a lot of noise because now their food is on the floor and they won't eat it. Bunnies: why are they like this?

This is so cringey it kinda hurts

This is giving me so much mirth

The day you realize you can't tell the different between a tiny, likely misshapen anteater and an upside down, right-facing cat. I haven't squee'd yet but I did the relevant others, especially finding joy amid the hellscape.

Amagahd it's done! Here she is, Ramo the level 3 monk! Every thanks in the world to @ellatholmes.bsky.social who saved a commission spot for me for a few days and added/changed the things I brought up in feedback. She was transparent, kind, and awesome. 10/10 will work with her again.

I feel terrible but I might DNF The Gone World. Truly I wanna know where it goes but I'm tired of unexpected breasts. That snippet from r/menwritingwomen is so emblematic of this sort of writing from men that talks about women in a way that may not always be overtly offensive, but is too "often".

DM's wife (and awesome orc city druid) has come down with something so tomorrow's session has been postponed. I'm bummed but also kind of relieved because this means I can watch something while I twist my hair. This takes 6-8 hours. Please give me recommendations. Seen Evil, From, and Fear Streets.

Wow it's not often that someone I haven't spoken to in a decade manages to ruin my day, from across the country. I feel like I can't calm down now, even though the issue is FINALLY resolved for the last time. And I mean this person waited until the LAST POSSIBLE SECOND to try to wreck shit.

Hmm, a post of mine has a reply but I can't see it. Is this usual?

This thread is worth reading and it's concerning that it looks like this journalist's reporting was snatched and published without crediting her. Click through and have a look. This is a big story about Noem and it feels shady that someone who reported about it first isn't being credited.

Ahaha my dog irl

Everyone, Erin is at it again! Don't be having a drink in your mouth if you click!

Tried a restaurant last night that just opened. Was writing a Google review when it turned out my review is too long and now I have to edit it, but also it's kind of an art piece at this point? Saved a screenshot, debating uploading it to the review photo. It's enormous. So big. So lengthy.

Begging off the art exhibit tonight. I feel bad because I met one of the artist last night and she asked me to come. Will email her apologies. I socialized last night and I have D&D tomorrow. It would have been okayish but my niece had a whole situation today and now I'm spoonless. Canceled my taxi!

Woooh, congratulations!!

Reporting back about the short film. Paging @randolphleewelty.bsky.social It was really short! About four minutes! It was very beautiful and actually the entire art piece is the film and some readings from an accompanying text. It's called "There Must be a Word" and addresses how we categorize 1/

Aww this is so sweet I'm gonna die

Today's weird news reminds me that I've never seen Phantom of the Opera. I've read it but just never been that hyped to watch it. Chat, am I wrong? Should I watch it post-haste? It's one of those stories that's interesting to read but feels like it might be a boring watch.

Shouting out Lane, who does phenomenal artwork and also is a cool person.

Gonna do something crazy and different, and attend a short film screening tonight at the coffee shop where they make my delicious white girl lattes (don't @ me). I'm gross-anxious about being dogless in a room that could become crowded with strangers, but I'm gonna persevere. And have another latte.

I just realized I've been drinking unsweetened lattes for weeks. I'm not even mad. They're so dang delicious. You'd think I'd have realized that by now but today I tried a new flavor and it was clearly not sweetened. But it wasn't bad or bitter. Previously I'd had my suspicions but it's never bitter

Someone make this real

Oh my gosh it's happening! IT'S HAPPENING!!! @theotherhappyplace.bsky.social's book is coming! It's a rare treasure that won't be available again! Her art is so beautiful and in so lucky to be able to have this book! I cannot even begin to explain how excited I am right now. I mean I'm trying tho.

Please enjoy a wonderful little story about an AI "artist" getting shat on in the way he deserves. Link text: He challenged the wrong Twitter user youtube.com/shorts/g9fso...

Fuck Largle Langle Mangles! blackle has a plan!

Real photos of sharks upside down 🦈👹😳

I've been watching this guy for some time and I really love the way he works hard to connect with neurodivergent people to help them have a comfortable and non-stressful haircut experience. Link text: Transforming a haircut experience for a nonverbal child with autism youtu.be/5ZcocsfXc7o?...

This is awesome news!

Anyone out there familiar with the history of #astrology, specifically western? My sister has questions about the history of western horoscopic astrology, as well as #tarot. She's been researching up a storm but I think she might need a human to provide a little guidance what to look for and where.

I don't even get Starbucks but if you do, maybe check out other coffee spots while these workers stand up for better wages and treatment. #solidarity

Who out there writing wifewolf fiction?

This thread got people heated. I agree with him: if a scene is important enough to put on the screen, then put it IN the movie. He said he watches and appreciates the credits. And I get it: post credit scenes feel like sequel bait. But then it became pancakes and waffles discourse. Poor Craig.

The speed and smoothness at which this little boy put his hands behind his back and got on the floor is distressing. That is a CHILD! I'm glad he's okay. Shid I thought he meant a Nintendo or a freshly-picked whooping stick, but a gun? He's not a disaffected white teen. youtube.com/shorts/gEkOw...

Woke up this morning feeling like poo. Currently back in bed feeling guilty for not going to work today. It's an antique furniture store and I am unsteady. Can't think of a single thing that could go wrong. I'm lying I can think of all the things.

I'm just saying we cannot have Gavin Newsom as president because it is a horrible, apocalyptic sin to have two presidents in a row who think using AI is okay.

Been listening to The Gone World and it was pretty good until suddenly there was so much use of "breasts" and describing women's bodies in ways that men's bodies are not described. I feel like a straight woman wouldn't spend *that* much time noticing or thinking about breasts, her own or others. 1/

Whatever is happening in this thread is mysterious and glorious and makes me glad to live in a world where I can stumble across this at randlm

Damn. It's better looking too.

Just had a look at this and it looks pretty awesome! It's kind of a late hour but there's always someone up. Spread the word if you can. I mean, who isn't interested in Dracula's severed head?

A: yes B: the pope was hot?!
