Neon Genesis Evangelion is the anime equivalent of Jacob's Ladder, and I think I love it. Without spoiling anything for others (for a 30 year old anime lol) I'm at Episode 22 with one of the pilots being LITERALLY forced to re-experience her traumatic childhood, and... God. Damn.

Urban fantasy is an underrated genre that's also hard as balls to get right without making your character feel like a Mary Sue while keeping them interesting, especially if you're playing with the Chosen One trope Now working on revision/rewrite/draft 4. lol ugh

Urban fantasy doesn't get enough love y'all. Like right now, revisiting that aforementioend 2012-era supernatural story, Cassy, a newly minted Reaper, has just walked onto a construction site she thinks is safe for her undead ass.

lol wow. 2012 was a wild ass year for the Billboard top 100. I was listening for inspiration for a novel about 16 year olds in the midwest circa 2012, and the playlist jumped from "Home" (singer songwriter acoustic style) to some dude rapping about his girlfriend's massive tits

So double neck guitars are absolutely nothing new, but I've never seen a double neck acoustic before. This Martin sounds phenomenal - if you've got $8,500 to blow and don't know what to do with it (But you are getting two Martin guitars, so) www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRLm...

Wow. Steam just emailed me about the launch of my game in three weeks. There are two problems with this. 1) That game got shelved SIX YEARS AGO. 2) I haven't been on that development team for THREE YEARS (prior to me breaking up with the TL and her being arrested) But I don't have admin controls

LMAO www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsGo...

I'd rather be delusional and happy than miserable living in someone else's reality

People who are definitely not monsters: "Finally, we've made dogs obsolete."

Just got a Star Wars day email from Shop Goodwill of all places

hey

Please enter your ass word. If you can not remember your ass word contact your domme to request a new one

My dog and cat were both lounging on my bed. Cat got up, walkd on top of the dog to reach the edge. Dog just sat up and looked at her like "Do you MIND?" The cat, bonus points, just looked back at her briefly before hopping down off the bed lol

Just gonna leave this here (because us brunettes don't get enough love, and because it's an excellent song by an excellent band) www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAYQ...

Someone told me that because I love psychological horror, I absolutely must watch Neon Genesis Evangelion. The only thing they'd tell me is "Imagine you're a 14 year old who's just been told to get your ass in the robot or the world ends" IDK how accurate this is but I intend to find out 🤣

Because I can't be normal at anything, I have a "traditional" mild hearing loss (30 dBHL), BUT I don't experience the norjal symptoms of hearing loss, like muffled voices or not being abl to hear soft sounds It's actually my tinnitus masking the hearing test bepps and boops

Diesel is hovering at $6/gallon, and, in case you need to be reminded, diesel is the stuff that powers: * Freight trains * Long haul trucks * Farm equipment All the shit that contributes to $500/week grocery prices ARE WE WINNING YET?

Chim chim-en-ee Chim chim-en-ee Chim-Chim cha-roo I draws what I likes And I likes what I drew

HOLY CRAP someone made a #blind #ScreenReader #accessibility mod for #StardewValley It's cross-platform compatible (for mod supporting platforms, sorry iOS users!) www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalle...

UPDATE: forcing audio quality from "Auto" to "Stereo" has temporarily solved this. IDK if this disables spatial audio in AirPods (haven't tried it yet), but it solves the "Voiceover won't shut the hell up to the point that it lags out the entire streaming box" issue until 26.4.1 XD

Maybe it's because I connected my Apple TV to an older TV (not an eARC HDMI 2.1 port), but... Holy shit, VoiceOver is annoying. It keeps repeating the same thing over, and over, and over, and over. For example if I highlight "YouTube" on the app store I'll hear "Youtube. Button. 4 of 6." nonstop.

Impatiently waiting for a FedEx delivery shceduled for anywhere betw3een 9 AM and 9 PM that I may* be required to sign for *because B&H Photo helpfully states they don't require a signature, but FedEx "might"

Case in point, at the same site I just bought: Ocean's 8 on 4K and Out of Sight, Conan the Barbarian, American Gangster, The Fablemans, Burn After Reading and Eastern Promises on blu-ray for like $5 more than it would have cost for Season 1 of Chainsaw Man on blu-ray

The human brain is a fascinating animal. I have alarge (as in 2ft x 2ft x 1ft) air filter going in the living room that one of my ultra sensitive microphones (Rode NT1) is picking up, but because of my tinnitus it almost sounds like a distant crowd of people talking lol

Wow okay, I thought gunpowder green tea was strong on the first steep. I dehydrated, crushed up, and resteped yesterday's leaves, and it's almost too strong for me. But in a good way? Like it's that bold flavor everyone tells me I should be experiencing instead of grassy water

I tested my green tea infusion on my own scalp today, and, wow. Turns out the tannans in green tea that's been stepped for 30-90 minutes (I may or may not have forgotten and let it steep longer htan the 30 I had intended) made my hair ridiculously soft afterwards

Pain in the ass points of getting my new AirPods Pro 3s to stay paired aside, god damn, these really are the best earbuds I've ever owned. Transparency mode really is good once you get used to the slight frequency peaks. If I can figure out how to change the ear tips they'll be perfect

Meanwhile I, as a naturally feminine non binary person (on the outside) fear for my life because I get dirty, and extremely thirsty, looks from men when I'm forced to use a public bathroom Now imagine how a fully transitioned woman feels.

Me: Ugh why is my monitor so damn dark? ... Yeah I forgot that I set the brightness down to like 40 last week while dealing with major photosensitivity issues andjust never put it back lol

Steve Shives is a national treasure y'all. "Some of the same rights as everyoine else" lmao www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvGZ...

I am such a nerd. I got a new mortar and pestle to crush open herbs with, and all I can think is "Muaha, I just leveled up Alchemy in real life!" I'll upload some photos of this beautiful bowl in action once I have enough energy to actually crush some herbs for infusion

Yeah, fuck it. Best Buy had a set of Open Box (freight damaged, not used, as far as I can tell) AirPods Pro 3 for ~$180 so I ordered them There are too many useful features like a transparency mode that doesn't feel like your head is in a fish bowl\

I absentmindedly licked my fingers after getting concentrated liquid Stevia on them.

Soccer? I don't even know her

The bad: I found out you actually can NOT do an oil infusion etraction of green tea extract. You have to use water or CO2 because the key nutrients (like caffeine) are water sollu7ble, not fat solluble This is good news for me as it means I don't need to waste time infusing oil (8 hours)

ICYMI if you live in the United States and you have a public library card, you have access to two free streaming services in Kanopy and Hoopla across all smart devices Literally just learned this myself from my aunt and uncle (my uncle is sedintary recovering from an intense back surgery)

I don't know why, but I just feel like watching Rocky today, at some point. I'll probably get halfway through it and get distracted, but meh

Smol update in my quest to find a decent carrier oil for my green tea extract infusion: SUNFLOWER OIL! Turns out it's not just good for cooking. The Oleic acid is also great for your scalp as part of a topical pre-wash like the one I'm making (and can make a good shelf stable lotion too)

Fuuuck pomace olive oil should NOT COST $1 an ounce! If your favorite artisanal soapmaker is suddenly charging $10 for a 4 oz bar this insanity is why 🧼🤯 Even MCT oil is getting stupidly expensive

I probably haven't written a line of code in like a year or two now following the breakup with my toxic ex (don't ask why that's related. It's a long story) AND YET I still catch myself analyzing a website when it's misbehaving, thinking

I do not understand why some people think the proper way to eat a donut is to shove it in the microwave and nuke it until all the glaze has melted off If you didn't want glazed, don't order glazed? But they "love glazed" even though they just melted it all off and aaaaaah

Oh wow. AppleTV (TVOS) has an Audio Ducking feature for Voiceover, meaning if VoiceOver is reading a label on the screen you can have it always be louder than the content if you want. And AppleTV lets you disable video playback previews device wide unlike FireTVOS

Oh my fucking god this is real Moreover, ICE must be destroyed www.nytimes.com/live/2026/04...

Not sure why my brain dug up this memory, but, laughing about that time a bunch of cishet people tried to mansplain to me why I, an actual transwoman, should not consider Mulan a transgender or queer icon Yeah. Twitter was always full of toxic assholes. Elon just made it worse tbh

"Funny" story. My boomer parents, aunts and uncles raised me to believe there was something wrong iwth me becaue I crave a lot of salt on my food Now as an adult diagnosed with Postural Orthostatic Tachacardia Syndrome, guess what the treatment is? Yep. A salt heavy diet (and lots of water)

Enshitification will continue until morale improves

lmao building a playlist of anti establishment female lead metal, and an ad for motherfucking Sam Altman's biography comes on. Wow. I'll give you his biography in two words: scam artist

"Paint it Black" is just one of those songs that sounds incredible no matter what style it's being covered in, but damn, this is one of my new favorites open.spotify.com/track/2JWteA...

I started out listening to Broken Peach Radio on Spotify the other day. Today it's... I don't know what it is. It's not Broken Peach Radio anymore, but it's playing some absolute bangers so I'm not complaining

lets go!!!! kick that microsoft shit out
