Devastated to lose yet another strong voice. Grateful to have what she's said, still.

Please share and help if you can

Just watched Suzume with the family and it was very good. Had all of us teared up at places. And also scruffy cat stuff is never not going to break me up.

I wish every leaf-blower a very STOP

Reposting because, and I say this with love, some of you are going to see this and go “oh shit, I need to check my bottle” and then immediately forget about it so if this could affect you, go check right now before you even scroll to the next post, I mean it.

It's a great day to finally delete that LinkedIn account that's just been sitting around since you made it a decade and change ago just to see if it'd be useful at all ever.

Bumping this again because I'm proud of us 😁

Fellow Baltimore County residents may want to scream at our County Administrative Officer (D’Andrea L. Walker) and others for formally agreeing to cooperate with the regime’s violent paramilitary force in kidnapping county residents I sure will be foxbaltimore.com/news/local/u...

Spouse did the mask/helmet construction (various foams on a cheap hard hat base) kids did sculpting, sanding and helped with assembly, and I did the cloaks in fleece (for warmth and to avoid the need to hem anything.) I'm so pleased with how it all came out, and the kids had a great time

This year's costumes were a full family group effort. The kids got a lot of attention tonight! Some folks even asked for pictures with them 😁

Sometimes raising teenagers means one of them makes some lovely, perfect for fall weather snickerdoodles for the whole family, and that's really nice 😊

A rare example of indoor environmental mimicry, this specimen demonstrates the remarkable ability to disguise itself as a throw pillow

Yes, sweetie, the world may be a dumpster fire and no one knows what the future is going to look like for literally anyone, but you still have to do your homework I guess.

So Like Is there a support group for millennial parents of teenagers who are struggling with how to prepare them for a future? Given that every path we ourselves were ever set on was a rug pull. And given just absolutely everything about this moment right now.

1) I have to back my way out of an awkward parking space and there are small children around 2) a Star Trek room where I come face to face with my transporter clone . . . or am I the clone? 3) I have been isakai-ed back into my own childhood and it's Sunday

Forgive the ex-mormon musings here, but Columbus discourse always reminds me that one of the most awkward things in the Book of Mormon is an "ancient prophesy" referring to him and then going on to describe white and "beautiful" colonizers "inheriting" the land.

Just me sitting here catching strays

Daniel Tiger was an invaluable tool for our family when my kids were little. It gave us an easily accessible shared language between the kids and the grown-ups for dealing with big feelings, conflicts, and needs. It was an incredibly worthy successor to Fred Rogers' legacy.

Oh hey, the romance grifter bots are out again. Was mostly getting fitness influencer, generic inspo, and resist-grift bots for a tick. Now we're back to pilot surgeon grillmaster world-traveller god-family-country silver foxes.

And here's the thing on this point. Pareidolia is a POWERFUL thing. The human interacting with the AI is still doing 98% of the simulation work themselves.

If these AI personhood weirdos ever actually had a real thought about the nature of consciousness they wouldn't touch the idea of trying to create one maybe ever.

Bibi sells all kinds of fun, cute and useful items! I can't wait for the strawberry cane! Have gotten a bunch of stuff from their store and it's all cute and of good quality. Bibi is also a wonderful person who is always giving back to their communities in a number of ways. Check out the shop!💖🍓

I'm doing an experiment with assortments of random cabochons, starting at $15/3 and going up to $140/50. I'll try to make sure you get a good variety of 'em. This is an extremely good deal. nora.jewelry/products/cab...

I really wish I could just be mad and scared about political precipices without also being sad and furious about hearing my family's voices in every rationalization excusing them. I can't stop having the arguments inside my own head even though I know they'll never turn out differently.

This number works, just called it myself and made sure they know that if the queer content leaves, so do I.

I hate it when I hit a bad health flare or w/e right as I'm getting somewhere on something creative. I want to keep working while the feeling is keen, but if I push now it's going to turn out tired and weird and bad because of tired and weird and bad body stuff.

BonChon may not cure everything, but there's nothing yet I've thrown it at that it hasn't made at least a little better.

Ugggggggh I feel like shit today. Period cramps like I'm a teenager again, but on top of all the usual chronic and being 40 pain. I need sweet and spicy noodles, stat.

hi, cis folks! trans people need your help! the FY26 budget gets a vote by 9/30. GOP wants a ban on funds for ALL health services that provide trans care for ANY AGE. they're trying for other bans, too. we need you to call senators like chuck who don't get it: reps.fyi info & script in the🧵⬇️

It's my birthday! As a gift, can I ask you to share my art?🙏 I love drawing vibrant fantasy illustrations, especially in the field of TTRPGs. And speaking of TTRPGs, check out the post below for more fantasy goodness ⬇️✨

Just woke up from a dream where Danny Trejo and Jackie Chan were playing in a buddy adventure movie where they're long-time platonic life partners doing hijinks, but the real arc is they slowly realize no they're gay gay for each other and have been fr pretty normie married the whole entire time.

So, I really want this song I'm writing to be a real thing, so I'm trying my hand at a free DAW program to see if I can do anything with it and surprisingly, I think I'm coming around to something workable. At least something I could then hire someone with better tools to finish production on.

People who think they have the right to destroy anything they don't like take it as an existential threat when anyone else doesn't like them. It's absurd, but consistent and telling.

LOL wow, they've just outright deleted the entire community post on the matter. Guess it got too annoying constantly deleting individual commentors asking them WTF they were thinking. Which I know for a fact they were doing because I was still getting email updates on the topic.

I'm generally squicked by spiders (who have every right to live, I just don't want them visibly near me) but the teeniest tiniest little bebe spider just came floating by like a serene little speck of dust and it was kind of enchanting. I caught it by its silk and helped it land somewhere safe.

Anyone know a good way to connect lyracist/melody writers with accompaniment/production composers?

Not sure if I'll get more or fewer responses to this if I say it's for a Knights of Guinevere fansong 😅

was going to make a joke about the rapture but it just isn't happening.
