Just encountered someone describing a software bug as "crashing out". Not "crashing" but "crashing out", and now I'm picturing a software application flipping out and yelling at everyone 😂

Something I should practice doing is, letting myself strongly but not overwhelmingly feel a challenging feeling, then letting it dissipate. "The fear comes *fear washes over me*, the fear goes *fear washes away*" Then use the comes/goes language to manage overwhelming feelings as well as numbness

TW call-of-the-void antisociality Terrible discourse idea: "Does MTV getting replaced by YouTube represent a post-Epstein shift in strategy around stochastic grooming by corporate America? What do you think?"

"One day, regular working-class Americans such as myself will be featured on backdrops where the outline of our hair will be distinct. You may not agree; you don't have to. But I have been doing some pencil sketches on this concept, and I have realized there is another way..."

I grew up on showtunes and was tired of the Les Misérables soundtrack by age 11 but it's actually pretty good? It's a bit hodge-podgey, and Master of the House and Little People are annoyingly over-catchy, but as dramatic storytelling music it covers a lot of ground and does so pretty enjoyably 👀

Attorneys navigate the complex web of laws in order to assess risks and determine what is and isn't permissible as well as what you probably can get away with or not, which has a remarkable parallel to what cybersecurity auditors do. Who says it better: "This is very risky and you should avoid it."

Work in 2021: it's too expensive to run two sites, we're merging them Water pressure in now-crowded building 2024–now: oh you want flushing toilets when the office is busy? LOL LMAO YEAH RIGHT Work in 2026: we're putting FLUSH AFTER USE signs on toilets because nobody flushes anymore apparently

found out "woke up from hypnotherapy without a personality for a few minutes" can be combined with "hypnosis where you lose awareness of your surroundings but don't lose consciousness". neat. just hitting the ❌ button on the open personality without a hard interruption to conscious thought

*switch* omg what's on my arm?... OH i got a new tattoo?? BADASS!

They do it because women (or really any vulnerable group) exist without their permission.

Every happy, successful trans person is a conservative policy failure. We must not just survive but also thrive despite all their attempts to stop it. Live your lives accordingly.

I would just like to remind people that sometimes I have poop on my body due to IBS or anal gone wrong as well as due to consensual scat play. I clean myself up carefully regardless of the reason. If you're bothered by the scat play part, you don't have to interact with me; take care of yourself.

Increasingly thinking about the fact that even though exhibitionism makes me uncomfortable due to my upbringing (yet also arouses me), it's nothing more than a nuisance unless the exhibitionist is trying to intimidate a bystander (which has a lower bar for male exhibitionists due to patriarchy)

My New Year's resolution, arbitrary as it is, is to be online less. I'm having trouble concentrating, chasing little dopamine hits instead of committing to long term activities like writing and reading. I'm addicted to the distractions, and it has to stop. I'm too old for this constant outrage. (1)

okay so grippy sock girl (me) is writing something semi-classical in 11/4 and it's kind of like the moonlight sonata pounding tubular bells in the ass? 🤔 (not intentionally lol) very unfinished. more parts to write (eg lower countermelody) and it may become longer but, tslycha.com/turning-part...

Need an emo penpal named R. D. Nilap in Drôme, France for wordplay reasons 🤔 can anyone help a girl out

Hi ^_^

Sooo I haven't played in weeks due to home electrical damage during septic tank replacement but electrician ran new conduit yesterday. OMG I AM SO EXCITE I HAVE DRUM AGAIN A little warmup improv to say FUCK 2025, COME ON 2026 LETS GOOOOO 💜💜💜 🎉

I imagine if you were a sword living in a society of sentient swords, you'd have celebrity swords which were used in famous battles or magically lodged in stone. But I wonder what other kinds of traits get you famous in sword society. Or infamous: maybe your hilt is showing too much patina in public

Boss: What are you doing? Me: I thought we were allowed to do vibe coding now. Was that not correct Boss: THAT'S what you're doing? Me: Well I just programmed this buttplug vibrator to read me my emails via Morse Code so yes Boss: Hmm, ok. As long as it's not in prod Me: No just on my prostate

I pray for the gods to do what voters didn't do and Congress isn't doing. 🙏 I mean, I'm actually pretty agnostic, but the right sequence of events might change that, you know?

Sometimes I think self awareness is stored in the mind as a web of connected cognitive chains that provide feedback loops, built on top of lower-level chains of thought which form awareness of environment (and this can build layers of sophistication upon itself, in a hologram-like holistic way);

A lot of the "Erika Kirk grieving: *pop star making dramatic entrance in risqué outfit*" posts are making me realize the difference between some softcore OF content and some pop music concerts is just your pyrotechnics + lighting budget lol

Can't wait until we have a court case where someone with a bunch of pirated movies saved them in a directory called "Model Training Data" And I'm sure Meta can't either lol

I think humans regularly resolve tensions in ways which push society backwards because progress often involves trying many things to find what works most reliably and safely, but I think societies also regularly reach tipping points for sharing wisdom as a collective product of survival instincts...

Realizing that I have a terrible lack of self awareness sometimes, and there's really nobody around me who can offer me the level of insight I need (although my wife can give me a lot of input but isn't with me constantly)

Hope everyone's having a blessed Yule 💜❄️

TV manufacturers in 2029 are going to be like "Our new 180" model has over 40" for non-advertisement entertainment! The remaining area features exciting, AI-generated product offerings based on what you're watching!"

*insults in 2027* oh yeah well half your kinks didn't even develop organically. it's like you downloaded your sexuality from horngpt

Sometimes when my coworkers complain, I have a hard time telling if I'm asking too much, if they're just randomly complaining just to complain, or if they're giving me a hard time because I'm autistic, trans, and awkward. I know all three happen at times, but I can't always tell them apart... 🤔

how do y'all stay motivated to do anything, when it's easier to doomscroll until your life collapses

tslycha.com/unaccounted.mp3 My brain has been going in multiple directions while writing/recording this brief musical interlude 😬😳😅

It's so hard for me to not feel like a net negative. I've been a problem for others far more than an asset to them in my life. I randomly hurt people, pretty badly sometimes, up into young adulthood and have no idea why. I've barely given anything of value to the world.

CW God being ableist? Does anyone else have memories of God telling you that He will punish you by removing your eyes and limbs? Like that's weird right? ... Goddammit, it should be illegal to expose kids to religion because you won't know if they're prone to delusion. Right?

dont mind the fret noises, the amp's not on, but this is the thing about 6-string basses which sometimes feels like cheating. you can just reposition up a string to play some 1-4-5 variations with open strings more frequently, making fingering easier

I should stop participating in social media. It just has too much dark humor on it. I clearly don't know how to navigate something like that, and I think my brain just can't learn how to do so correctly? I feel like an uneducated 8 year old surrounded by adults following a script I don't myself have

HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files: Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996. The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/u...

*attending a piano recital* wow. her debussy sure has crazy grip

Something which has been true for my life, so I wonder if it's true for others, is that a significant fraction of the things i criticize other people for, end up being things which apply to me in the future, involuntarily. For example, i grew up around moral puritanism that I hated, so I called out

a very good article here a lot of Americans are still, even now, in denial about the serious threat we all face from the trumpsters newrepublic.com/article/2042...

ANNOUNCEMENT: I am renaming the Trump–Kennedy Center to the Transsexuals Are Hot Center. Technically, renaming it would require an Act of Congress... But Trump did it without one, so I will too!

"Wow, I apparently wrote this thing about DID, but I can't relate to it at all. I guess I don't have DID! Just my headmates do. I presume one of them wrote it" was a real sequence of thoughts I just had lol

Being around tech business topics for a few decades has taught me that the best practices guidelines of today will be subverted for profit tomorrow. And today's best practices are the consequences of the techniques behind yesterday's profit (but distorted for someone else's profits today).
