When you buy into the idea that "porn is evil" then anything deemed porn becomes evil. We are so afraid of sex in this country that it is effectively a tool to control the masses. This is (part of) why sex education is so important. Sex should not be some kind of boogeyman.

// I keep thinking about all the deep friendships I've had that have faded away to disinterest, and how much I miss those people, and it makes me feel like a terrible person. It makes it hard to want to continue roleplaying sometimes. Will probably delete later. Just needed to vent.

Random dose of truth

evergreen

// I could use some cheering up. It's been really rough lately and my brain is in a really bad place. Send me screenshots of your OCs smiling. Or something that brought you joy or hope. I could really use some today.

do you love me enough that i may be weak with you? everyone loves strength， but do you love me for my weakness? that is the real test. do you love me stripped of everything that might be lost， for only the things i will have forever?

A lot of this applies to online communities too, maybe doubly so for an MMO like FFXIV where there's a thriving social scene baked into the thing we're all ostensibly fans of. If you're looking to make connections in whatever spaces you're in (or want to be in), some of these suggestions might help!

that FFXIV rp profile plugin i was talking about the other day is now ready for open beta, if anyone is interested! you can take a little peek here. ⬇️ rphub.co/glance

// I need to get into RP more. I need to get back on FFXIV more often. I need to write RP more. I need to throw this redhead at more people. I'll work on that in the coming days.

When you're trying to be a very serious bad guy but your cat has other plans.

So says Metem (while Tom Morello's music blares in the background of the fight)

oomf: *likes my tweet* Me: Oh thank God they still like me

// I don't usually edit poses. Or filters. But I'm not going to say "oh they're not as good as other screenshots I've seen" because at least I made them, this time. I did something I don't normally do and I'm gonna ENJOY that I did it, for once. #bpose / #bposers

// I actually made an honest attempt to find random RP after months of not being able to in-game in FFXIV tonight. Be proud of me, damn it.

People not in Minnesota: please read this excellent summary of what life is like in Minneapolis since the murderous scum ICE swarmed here. And more are on their way. By local reporter / writer / bike dude / legend @dbrauer.net .

I hope 2026 is kind to us all

Caduceus has a message for everybody:

// I've been trying to get back into FFXIV proper-- including rebooting my bunboy back into his silver fox catboy form-- but I keep hearing about DDOS attacks, and to be honest: I don't think the DDOS's are real. I think the servers are just failing and SE is using a DDOS lie to cover for it.

Sadness arrives uninvited. Joy demands more—it requires us to search, to kindle, to protect the flame against every wind. When we choose joy despite everything that argues against it, we don't just save ourselves—we illuminate the way for everyone around us.

I want 2026 to be the year where we collectively stop rewarding negativity. Stop bringing others down to bring yourself up. Stop bringing attention to genuinely awful people. Stop ignoring people bringing positive changes to the world. We need more kindness and empathy. I’m dead serious

// I'm not gonna lie; if Zenos showed up with 300 chicken nuggets I might change my opinion of him, at least a little bit.

I don't want gen AI in my browser I don't want gen AI in my pc I don't want gen AI in my art I don't want gen AI in my games I don't want gen AI in my music I don't want gen AI in my movies I don't want gen AI in my books I don't want gen AI in my cart I don't want gen AI in my life

// I'm not gonna lie-- I'm gonna do MSQ and whatnot and get caught up on my boys, but I'm skipping all the story. I'm kinda tired of Sphene. I'm kinda tired of the game forgetting Tural exists. I'm kinda tired of the game's story having white girl saviors. And I AM white, OOC, and I'm sick of it.

"humans are running out of good ideas" skill issue. do you know how many good ideas I have even now, piling in my brain, never to be funded. can you even understand that

new ribbon to hand out to ffxiv friends at conventions

"Poor. I'd probably rush in, looking for the thrill of a good fight, and get gang-rushed and knocked out real damn quick. I'm pretty reckless in that kinda spectacle." #wolqotd

"I'm sure my mom would make up all sorts of horrific things to say about me. I'm the unwanted son. Dad, if he were still alive, would just try not to say anything, given how spineless he was." Clearly this is a sore topic for him. #wolqotd

"I have a little pocket knife with a jade-inlaid handle. It's been my lucky charm for years. It's gotten me out of so much trouble, I can't imagine NOT having it." #wolqotd
