GM: Charisma check. Mamdani: [rolls natural 20] GM: that’s a d6 how did you Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

I couldn't think of "special interest" and said "interest pack" instead and tbh as an AuDHDer, the idea of special interests coming as expansion packs tracks for me

I know I'm three years late but I finally started *Shrinking* and I want to scream over the rooftops how fucking great this show is. I kept saying, "I'm going to play Hades later" but then I just kept watching. Couldn't stop. Wasn't even on my phone during it. Do you know when this happened last?

The court record shows what devices and data the FBI was able to ultimately access, and which devices it could not, after raiding the home of the reporter, Hannah Natanson. It also shows how effective Lockdown Mode might be before the FBI may try other techniques to access the device.

they changed the recipe of our preferred peanut butter which my autism finds deeply ableist

sometimes I think I’m too autistic to work in marketing (I kinda sorta work in marketing)

I'm enraged I have to wait a whole month to continue to see Benedict being a total fucking fool. #Bridgerton

Wanted to show off the perfect fucking curls today before ruining them by putting my Critical Role cap on because it is, as always, pissing down here today 😆 #galicia

Can someone please just invent a packer already that has the right weight and passes the grab test but doesn’t give me swamp crotch? My silicone/TPE packers manage the first two, and my crochet packer avoids the swamp crotch but I want all three, damnit.

“Why is it taking you so long to publish a new website? Why don’t you just use Claude Code for it. It’ll be done in a day.” WE’RE A HUMANITARIAN AID ORG! We’d be fucking hypocrites! I have been having this same conversation far too often lately 😒

genuinely my favourite strangers are those who will gently and matter of factly correct my Spanish in passing because how the fuck else am I gonna learn?

Kansas just passed a monstrous bill enabling criminal penalties and vigilante lawsuits for trans people using the bathroom according to their gender identity and requires them to surrender their current drivers licenses and birth certificates if it does not match their sex assigned at birth.

misgender by a coworker who so far has seemed entirely above board 😒 idk what the fuck is going on today

this morning, my watch has abandoned its usual motivational tone and has pleaded "let your body recover!"… cool cool cool cool cool this is fine lolsob

tell your friends you love them like literally normalise saying “I love you” to friends

much like when you got a hammer everything looks like a nail, when you’re bisexual everyone looks like they could be nailed

I knew that hailstorms are a thing but I assumed they'd be like snowstorms. nlNot thunder and lightning PLUS hail. 😳 just cancelled my osteopathy session because potentially getting pelted by hail on the way there and back seems detrimental to getting treatment.

Gina Yashere is such a fucking delight on Starfleet Academy. And pairing up her and Tig is truly chefskiss. Add Holly Hunter sitting with extreme bisexuality and neurodivergence and it's the cherry on top that makes this my favourite Star Trek in quite a while.

y'all it rains far more in Galicia in winter than in Edinburgh 😂 I truly did not see this coming. everyone warned us and I waved it off since I've lived in Scotland. I was a fool!

Hello again, everything is still scary and hard and the tech job market is wild right now, so here's my semi-regular thread of open jobs I've found where your work could make the world better (or at least, not make it worse)

I just learned that “owl” in Spanish is “búho” and I will never be the same 😆 fucking love when onomatopoeia

testosteroned so hard that I now must face the question whether my belly warrants shampoo instead of soap

Someone tell me if I’m losing my mind, please. I can’t seem to right-click images in my gallery on onedrive anymore. No matter which browser I try this on. Is it just me? It’s driving me up a fucking wall tbh. The enshittification just never stops.

I wrote about my experiences being sexually exploited as a child, and what we need to do to make sure AI doesn’t make that a reality for millions of children. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The "ICE is using military tactics suited for a warzone, not for American streets" rhetoric kinda misses the point that warzones are not naturally occuring. The US military creates war zones from residential neighborhoods and the tactics are not more justifiable just because it's overseas

Just saw a comment saying Austrians are "usually very polite" and I immediately laugh reacted because we're definitely not polite as a people. But then I realised that other nationalities might not actually pick up on that. We are assholes in stealth mode. 😊🤣

🏳️‍⚧️ Our friends in LA just carried out a kit building day for HRT harm reduction supplies 🏳️‍⚧️ As some of you may know, we did not initially have California in mind as one of the recipient states of the HRT Harm Reduction Toolkits. However...

I’m trapped in our relatively small office with window and door closed and one or both of these dogs have just farted. And I’m in a meeting and trying desperately not to show my anguish on my face. SEND HELP!

protect the dolls? sure. but have you considered saying "protect trans people" instead? I know it doesn't sound as snazzy and cool but you'd be showing that you're an actual ally who cares about *all* trans people, and not just hopping on a trend. transmascs and enbies will thank you.

taking a pluslife covid test right now even though there's no reasonable way I could have gotten infected but I feel like shit 😩 the only place I’ve gone in literal weeks was the osteopath on Wednesday. We were both masked with ffp2 and I took the first appointment of the day. Fuuuuck. 🤞🏻

I have become 40% more chill since we moved to Spain and both the upside and downside of that is that I won't just push through to get shit done.

Guess it’s time for your periodic reminder that mentally ill people are actually statistically less likely to commit violent crimes; more likely to be victims; and more at risk of hurting themselves than others. If you want to curb gun crimes curb guns. Threading some studies here!

me: why am I feeling so anxious and panicky and wound up today? my ribs and lungs and autism: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHH! it’s a no-chest tape day which means it’s a sports bra day which means I’m in purgatory 😣

I’m about to order some peanut butter and am sitting here trying to figure out if our dogs would perhaps enjoy crunchy more than smooth. Having dogs is very normal 😆

people always say it's hard to write diverse characters, and I have to agree; I really struggle not to automatically make all of them bisexual. Really have to shoehorn those monosexuals in so they're represented.

In horrible news Maha’s oldest son Sanad who is only 13 went to the American aid site today and was shot in the stomach and died

I know there's a lot of talk about the new covid boosters being hard to get for ppl under 65. Fwiw, I was able to schedule mine online at CVS like normal for next month when they get in the new Moderna boosters.

US TRANS FRIENDS: Drop your gofundmes, venmos, whatever ways of supporting you you have, in the replies. Then go make sure you have plans with loved ones to deal with the worst. I love you all. We will get thru it CIS PEOPLE: Go through the replies and donate money to someone. Then reskeet.

oddly (or perhaps not that surprisingly) that’s also how people react to folks who still mask up for Covid reasons. They can’t stand that we’re making them feel bad about their choices. Turns out humans really don’t like being told that they’re the baddies. Just not enough to do better, it seems.

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

“…it is at its core a fascist technology rooted in the ideology of supremacy…” 🔥 this post by @anthonymoser.com slaps so hard, I almost cried at the beauty of it. fuck. thank you for writing that, Anthony! anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...

I made coleslaw and jfc how is the cabbage itself spicier than the gojuchang sauce I dressed it with????? 😳

Just to piggyback on this, I just sent this over to a friend of mine who is a regional director for a big grocery chain. His full response: “Strap the fck in. You haven’t seen anything yet.”

@dropout.tv petition that @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social change his name to Brennan Glee Mulligan because never have I seen anyone be this glee-full of revenge #samalamadingdong #changeGamer

but tbh between him and the girl loudly moaning over siesta time two weeks ago for all the street to hear on a regular Monday, I think the Spaniards must be fairly active 😅 what great opportunity for tourism marketing Cum to Spain!
