there’s nothing more humbling than when a cat is doing something they aren’t supposed to & you yell at them & they don’t even flinch. nothing in their body registers they were just yelled at. they carry on.

Hi all, its your friendly neighborhood retired therapist here to remind you that the horrors persist and so do we! Have you: -had a glass of water or something liquid that is not caffeinated recently? -used any calming or grounding techniques you like? -eaten a food? If not, do that now. 💜

I can’t believe we’re still having the “removing fighting from gameplay just turns games into books” debate in 2026. Anyway South of Midnight is a masterpiece of straightforward platforming adventure that is hardly seen anymore and I will not be upping my difficulty, thanks

I get along best with people who like cats. If you understand cats, you understand me.

😍 #HouseOfVillains

New York bringing Paul into her alliance with Tom and Tyson like a poly queen trying to teach their partners about kitchen table polyamory… “I can vouch for these men like I can vouch for you” like ma’am you have a harem and goddamn you better win for it #HouseofVillains

HI WHAT DO YOU MEAN MY FAVORITE TO WIN BIG BROTHER GOT TO MEET ANDY HURLEY!?!????

me when my boss asks why I look half dead at work tomorrow:

Oh I am full delulu rn but what if I submit a really good game design and I get to talk to production LOOK I WORKED IN AN ESCAPE ROOM AND I’M A LARPER I HAVE IDEAS —

New zine - action ideas, examples, and resources related to how artists can show up in the ongoing struggle against ICE and contribute to building the world we actually want to live in. Thanks to @forecastpublicart.bsky.social for the printing support. Digital version: guante.info/try

I need the DID equivalent of Ashralouisa’s Autism content

me, a baby system learning to live with DID: it’s so exhausting to explain to folks how I think. I feel like I need to literally hand them a flow chart. my therapist, a system herself: yeah i’ve done that lol

After tonight’s episode of House of Villains, I have some THOUGHTS as someone who has obsessively followed Paul’s character arcs in Big Brother…. spoilers for most recent HOV in thread below vvv

If I had a nickel for every time Stange Cat Behavior(tm) got me to stop crying, I could retire.

I, an English Teacher: Genres are a collection of recognizable tropes that may be played straight or subverted, but regardless contribute to recognizable groupings of literature by what you can expect to read about in any given book within the genre. In this essay I will —

I relearned how to bake good Woodard family bread for @rufflejax.bsky.social ‘s Tender is the Flesh inspired LARP a few years ago, and I keep thinking I need more excuses to feed my friends and show off how good and versatile my recipe has gotten. ❤️ 🥖

I have nothing new to add to all the ANTM docuseries commentary except that I am blowing air kisses to whoever in editing had the “Executive Producer” title show up right after Tyra said this. Cinematic poetry of the most fucked up kind.

One of the things I love about the resistance movement in the US is how full of nerds it is. We have schoolteachers, lawyers, 3D print hobbyists, zinesters, community journalists, genre fiction writers, anarchists, communists, old school hackers, etc. all standing up for our immigrant neighbors.

“The prosecutor displayed photos on a courtroom television of evidence seized from the garage of defendants on trial for alleged involvement in a radical left-wing conspiracy: Photocopiers, a bookbinding machine and leaflets called ‘zines.’” That's a pretty terrifying lede if you like free speech.

me listening to KATTDO: so Harry please tell the audience your opinions on Utada Hikaru’s 2022 album Bad Mode

Request for #zinesky — Anyone have one pager zines on mutual aid, protest safety, and LGBTQ+ topics? I want to print a ton for my workplace <3 Drop your recs below!

Zine Idea: Illustrated Reddit Stories, starting with Soup Tube, the petty Cheese Guy who bought a fuck ton of cheese to spite his overspending wife, and u/occasionallyvertical’s multi month quest to lower a 400-2000lb pallet of margarine into a 6ft hole. no i will not be taking criticism.

Reading about the religious allegory in Pluribus has me giggling and kicking my feet thinking about an inverted Jesus story with a lesbian conversion therapy survivor as humanity’s savior. The UU in me is thriving with this show.

if you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my CATS

Friendly reminder to never assume people aren't doing something just because they're not posting about it, especially in a surveillance state. 🧵

The Senate will vote on the DHS funding bill next week and it can’t pass without Democratic votes. That means Democrats have real leverage to rein in ICE, but they won’t use it unless we force them to. Call your senators: indivisible.org/ice-out-sena... Email: act.indivisible.org/sign/ice-out...

[grabs Pluribus with both hands] this one is for ME

I mean yeah it’s an authoritarian takeover but can we take some comfort in the fact that the people doing it are INSANELY stupid?

pull 4 tarot cards. this is your crew: The Brains, The Muscle, The Vixen, The Heart. pull a 5th. this is The Score. decide what it is and why you want it. shuffle The Score back into the deck. this is The Collection. on each turn, each crewmember pulls an item from The Collection. now find The Score

Enshittification of the internet pushing people to zines and other paper materials. The zine scene is definitely growing—I've seen local classes in zine making, kids and their parents taking it up. www.cbc.ca/arts/print-i...

A bit sad to me specifically on how people take on zines, sketchbooks, fanfic and fanart. Like, "not accepting starting artists" level of insane standards. All of those are genres born with trying to get away from stablished publishing and its standards. Let yourself loose and try experimenting.

"Check on your trans frie-" No. Give them money. Hire them. Buy them a video game.

I am so close to making a four hour video essay about the sliding scale of LGBT+ representation in video games, soooooo close

Epic Games not only didn't do Rainbow Royale this year (a Fortnite event for the LGBTQIA+) but they're also encouraging folks to play Hogwarts Legacy & now this. Killing a skin on sight is not enough since that's literally the point of the game, just stop playing it. They know what they're doing.

Because I know I have many friends in these states — please consider giving blood to help support RI hospitals after the shooting at my alma mater. Channel anger into doing something, even if it’s just spreading the word.

I laughed at my coworker earlier in Dollar Tree for getting nostalgic about trifold posterboard. Now I’m awake at 1am thinking about how I’d organize my presentation about the evolution of Patrick Stump’s vocals.

sitting up in bed to text my mom: hey ever think about how Patrick’s “whoas” and “oh woahs” is just pop punk scatting?

“He looks like an angel” “why are you downgrading him? He looks like a god” is a truly insane line to throw in a show about football. (Guess who’s finally watching Ted Lasso? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )

Totally normal midnight text from my wife ❤️

me: oh wow I can’t believe I stayed up late on a work night to watch Definctland’s new 4-hour video essay. I should put on one of my commonly watched videos so I can just doze off. also me: [puts on Bismuth’s 5-hour video essay on Mario 64’s A Button Challenge] perfect :)

It’s ok you can say it

Trump has the lowest approval ratings of his career, he looks like a wet burnt potato, his base is in civil war, and he’s gushing over Zohran because he’s in steep cognitive decline and forgot MAGA has made him boogeyman #1. The crash out is every bit as good as I’d dreamed.

my wife helpfully reminded me we got engaged two years after meeting in Project Sparrow but we failed to remember we got engaged on MEAT TANK day!

Thinking about the Moralists in Disco Elysium this morning. No reason…
