Good evening @scottmatchmaker.bsky.social . my name is Viridian and I am a budding journalist. I’m aware that many so-called “journalists” have been spreading lies and slander and covering you. I’m here to set the record straight and get YOUR story to THE PEOPLE.

Taking a mental health day? But I want to get paid to be mentally ill on someone else’s time.

I’m A Hades II widow now 😔

Today in dinner posting, I got inspired by @sortedfood.bsky.social's TikTok trends video from a while ago with the ravioli burgers and made pierogi burgers! They turned out fantastic! Going slider size was a great choice, as was adding the blueberry preserves to create more flavor contrast!

after extensive wind tunnel testing and analysis, I've concluded that airplane mode is a complete scam. it doesn't change the phone's aerodynamics in the slightest.

I’m gentler but much less entertaining

Any time I doubt my current course, I let my phone play that compilation it made of my cat snuggling with me. You can see right where my smiles get bigger. They persist and so will I.

this is something you just have to live with if you are even barely well-known online; people make up elaborate stories about you in their heads. it will always happen and you cannot give a shit about it, only stomp on it if they try to spread these weird tales to anybody you actually know.

THE HORRORS MAY PERSIST BUT SO WILL I!

Whatever its merits, the internet has become a psychologically destructive force. You will be happier and healthier if you don’t spend excess amounts of time online. Stop scrolling. Water your garden. Read a book to your kids. You will not regret a life spent in this world.

Social media amplifies our worst tendencies: bloodlust, baseless speculation, the hunger for vengeance. We were not made to see people repeatedly murdered on camera. We were not meant to read every person's unfiltered opinions. It is corrosive to the soul.

UPDATE: they have responded to my email and offered either a replacement or a refund. thank you to everyone who boosted!

I’m now two weeks into not having a functional laptop with no sign of having it replaced or refunded by @frame.work . I used to be a pretty big booster of them- fully modular? Less e-waste! I was hoping this would be my forever machine. Instead it has become my biggest computing regret.

figured out how to get my hair curly this week and I made more mall goth progress. I’m just so much more content with my looks now and they’re improving all the time! 35 looks better than 25.

shooter now suspected to have yelled “FOR SUPER EARTH” before fleeing

with fingerless gloves I’ve completed my full transition into mall goth girl. that really should be my final form. where do we even go from here?

most transphobic thing about my wife is that she has a deathly allergy to pickles had one pickle yesterday and learned i’m a stereotype

Look, there’s “no true Scotsman would do such a thing,” but then there’s “no true bachelor is married.” When Jesus said “my followers would not fight to defend me because my kingdom is not of this world,” and somebody else says “I’m fighting to defend Jesus’ kingdom in this world,” one’s a phony.

mood, buddy. that’s a mood.

What are you even supposed to post during a game like OSU vs Grambling that doesn’t just make you sound like an asshole? “Gee, these Grambling kids sure are having a bloodbath”? I’ve had Blood Bowl games where more dignity was intact.

Basically stopped doing strength training since I came out again. Squeaky clean bill of health at the doctor’s, but I’ve put on a few pounds. I like my body better now than I did when I was in the best shape of my life. But it’s time to take care of it again and get back in the saddle.

That is… not how Usagi acts.

“And what do you want your first name to be in the system?” Viridian! “Good lord”

i don’t think that was intentional on jalen carter’s part. the controls this season have sprint as L1, sleep until morning as L2, barter as R1 and spit as R2. spit should be in the quick menu

Anybody else remember timeskip jokes during lockdown? Its been five years. We’re at the timeskip now! all those little story beats hinting she’d transition are paying off! everything has changed enough that we’re curious how we even got here! Timeskip!

Introducing my new gaming accessory, the rumble pants. That’s right, controller rumble is finally reaching the 21st century with over 300 localized rumble zones for all of your favorite games. You’ll love the tactical awareness from knowing precisely where you were shot thanks to the rumble pants.

Second ren faire in girlmode down and wow, these are pleasantly more interactive when visibly trans. The whole experience is just more cozy.

Ok fine, if my laptop is toast then I might as well try Arch again now that I’m transitioning.

ren faire good, now I get to go home, backup my computer, and pray that it’ll last long enough for Framework to fix it. Good thing I didn’t get a bunch of stickers I love on it.

After years of wanting a ren faire costume and not being satisfied by my options, “wife’s hand me downs” are winning the day.

Chat, is it a good thing when your Linux box loses its root drive and starts saying that ls doesn’t exist

It’s interesting to me how many of my dysphoria coping methods wound up being integral to who I became today and how very unappealing some of them are now. Reading entire manuals, especially for outdated stuff, is a big one. Made me very good at my job which gave me the resources to stand alone.

Back porch. Sunset. Bunny visiting the back yard. Hot mug of herbal tea. Book. A pop of autumn red on the leaves. This is my favorite time of year.

you ever have a moment where you remember how ridiculously complex computers are and it gives you a spike of anxiety wondering how any of your code has ever worked for even a minute

Moving into the afternoon with a ridiculously upbeat mood. I hope you're having a good day too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ke1...

“No, Vi, we can’t adopt another cat, they’ll scare Luna” “No, Vi, we can’t adopt another cat pet hamster, Luna will eat it” “No, Vi, we cannot adopt the squirrel draining the bird feeder, they’re not domesticated” My wife is a petty tyrant

A poem from this morning.

testing

I would love to have a teaching position. Just not enough to take a massive paycut or deal with the bureaucracy.

The month+ of hell is officially ending: bread's in the oven!

for every like I will abandon one controversial opinion

Missed feeding my baby sourdough starter last night because of the concert and I think it was the most its risen so far. I’m going to choose to believe that means it actually enjoyed the extra time eating. Or maybe that I’m removing too much most of the time.

Great show tonight @fiveironfrenzy.bsky.social and can I just say that One Girl Army hits very differently as an adult trans woman who didn’t quite understand why she liked it as a teen?

FIVE IRON FRENZY TONIGHT

one of the under-rated parts of my transition is that I have this fun laugh now that's a little annoying and if you live here, you get to hear it five times a day as I spontaneously find joy from something and surprise my body. I love this stupid laugh.

please follow my new alt account @nisasoccer.bsky.social where i plan to post satire about an imaginary soccer league

MY APHANTASIA IS FADING AWAY I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW MUCH BETTER BOOKS ARE ON A FULL DOSE OF E THIS IS INCREDIBLE I WILL RE-READ EVERY BOOK I OWN WITH THIS KNOWLEDGE WHICH IS A LOT OF BOOKS
