My fuckbuddy transitioned, but we're still banging. Call that the situationship of Theseus.

You know what I miss the most about pre-1990s fantasy? Novels with titled chapters and tables of contents. I know you still get them now and again, but before the 90s it was common practice, and you wouldn't believe how much easier it is to discuss shit when you've got named episodes to go on.

This is fucking terrifying

Tonight, #ttrpg people!

The total after everything will be ~$1176. I need to get a new full set of x-rays, then I can get a full super cleaning done (first time in… a while), then I can get my two (!!) cavities filled. I know. Only two! I’m surprised, too. But thankful it’s not more… 😮‍💨

i was going to make a snarky post about ICE losing "variations" of a file with massive amounts of PHI but it's now been brought to my attention that they fucking SENT IT OVER MICROSOFT TEAMS. WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN YOU PUT PHI IN MICROSOFT GODDAMN TEAMS www.npr.org/2026/07/17/n...

had this pulled up for my freelancing guide how topical indeed

....our trashcan lid is infested with maggots. i was wondering why and how it got encrusted in seseme seeds, but now i have bigger issues

Now more than ever, we need to support our local libraries. 📕📖📚📔📘📗 #BookSky #books #reading #library

Are you a developer who has put a fishing minigame inside your non-fishing video game? Or are you considered a connoisseur of fishing minigames? OR do you have knowledge of how real-life fishing works and how it might translate to games? I would love to speak to you for a story please!

My girl Kage is the literal best, and Delivered is such a fun solo #ttrpg! Turning it into a card deck makes it the *perfect* game to keep on you and play on the go. Get in there and get yours!!

the irony of telling a friend im free to chat on the phone and immediately getting a spam call. no not you!!

I'm going to need you to approach me three times in a series of increasingly flimsy disguises by which I will be utterly fooled, each time asking me one of these five riddles, and you HAVE to act like you're genuinely mad when I get the answers wrong. I can't get it up if the scorn isn't sincere.

Arthurian knight kink, by which I mean our RP scene must be prefaced with a lengthy apologetics establishing that it totally happened exactly like this and any other chronicler who tells it differently is full of shit.

Sorry not sorry. I think this may apply to several more in the future as well.

you ever get a little too excited picking up the cat to baby him and almost flip him all the way around by accident, nearly dropping him while chanting "oh shit oh shit oh shit" frantically anyways we're fine and i did not drop the cat on his head

To be a historian is to speak ill of the dead and the rest of you should take more history classes and join us.

started apocathary diaries on the suggestion of a friend and i am now caught up with the manga. do not look at the timestamp. please read apocathary diaries if you like slowburn romance with obtuse protagonists who dont know what genre theyre in and think theyre in tang dynasty house md

Two people are mad I said this because nobody ever taught them the concept of “grad school reading,” which is not to say we shouldn’t be teaching close reading. But if we’re teaching writing, all writing and thinking we do on our own is good writing and thinking practice. Everyone is a writer!

I'm not even joking when I say that, as a former writing teacher, I think even the act of bullshitting through a 10-page paper on a book you only skimmed is also incredibly valuable learning.

i'm.... caught up on classwork? before the weekend...? for realsies?

No one should be denied access to health care simply because of who they are or who they love. Dignity should be at the center of receiving health care: LGBTQI+ patients should feel welcomed, safe, and listened to, and get the care they need.

having finally swept the office properly for the first time in weeks & vaccuumed around the cat's food and litterbox, i can definitely say that was way overdue. i had been making do with sweeping excess litter into a single spot out of the way til i had time for a full clean, but it only did so much

i love how i thought i was going to have at minimum weekly blog updates, lmao. i have had zero time for anything these last two weeks

It's not because real marginalized authors aren't good. Many are excellent. (I rebuke the idea that a diverse slate requires lowering your standards.) And, after all, the AI story itself wasn't good. But it turns out that for a lot of editors, "quality" means "looks like stuff I've read before."

Editors want an oh-so-fun premise paired with an execution that does absolutely nothing challenging. Smooth, featureless, conventional, and expected. Something that feels like the average of every other story in every other promag. You know, precisely what an LLM does.

SFF, we need to talk. I'm not here to rag specifically on Bona, who did the right thing by going public. No, I'm looking at all of you. Or at least, 15 of you. Because this right here? This is buckwild.

Fun story and potential tip for artists: find a load boarding follower or two. When my account was brand new and less than 10 people knew I existed I had one follower who would like almost every piece I made. I appreciated his support so much that my partner knew his screenname- 🧵

my brain appears to be full of extremely panicky primordial soup and it is getting a little tiring trying to convince it that i am much sturdier than it's giving me credit for, on account of my physical body being much less soup-like

Improve at the WHOLE process

as someone who doesnt really pay much attention to breasts, i tend to forget how big or small my friends' are. usually this is unremarkable, except for once or twice a year when i see a friend's selfie, go damn nikki ur bobbies, and am immediately mortified bc i've known them for over a decade

12:30pm and ive got most food prep done + my homework. i need to throw together a stirfry & want to try the "dynamic study modules" from the book before attempting the quiz tonight, and i really should put in a few hours of work to lighten the load this week; should have plenty of time though

i wonder if i can get my time logging reports from the last few years without having to ask anyone from work about it. lowkey want to compare my PTO taken this year and see about maybe scheduling a break before fall semester

in hindsight, instead of telling my boss i would flex 100% of my hours while taking an accelerated summer chemistry course, i really should have bargained for doing like 80% of my hours or something. but no, i had to be stubborn about it

hi class started this week and i'm back to complaining about this textbook. it's one thing to phrase everything around thermodynamics incomprehensibly, it's quite another to say you defined Gibb's free energy change in chapter 9 section 13 when chapter 9 only has 12 sections.

We're so starving for consequences we're reading Vatican press releases

Claire’s threads on this have been super informative reading on the buckwild fuck around/find out a sect of the Catholic Church is currently going through
