there needs to be a specific part of ADHD diagnoses that is for when you remember to do something and say 'eh I'll do it later' and then never do it and then repeat this for seven years

happy star wars day to all who celebrate except people who don't like finn, you can go to hell

Getting your period a few times after not having it for years is wild. It's like WHO DESIGNED THIS? Monthly??? Absolute trash. Go back to beta testing!

Sometimes I wish I could just play D&D because I’m so tired of how little help there is in the system for running it.

The lack of prices on items in D&D is a nightmare for shopping trips.

Don’t get a brain tumor because your parents will flip out any time you have a headache lmao — it’s like noooo these can be fixed with excedrin and my stupid ass remembering to eat!

So far mom has had a whole ass husky and a cat come to the house and just demand to be let in and dad’s like what am I supposed to do? I’m like idk man you married a Disney princess. Let her have a cat (the Husky has owners lol)

mainstream economists in shambles

This is Cathy Rutherford, Glasgow born trade unionist. I love this clip, but even more for knowing that it stems from a core of lifelong political activism

Amazon can get fucking WRECKED. They’re cutting off the ability to download ebooks to their own devices if they’re old. It uses WiFi. It’s the same format. What the fuck

Tianlang-jun has ukulele and birkenstocks with jeans vibes

This is what radicalized me as a native of color Seeing them send fire hoses attack dogs and sound cannons on water and land defenders during Standing rock

"What can Democrats do?" When the South Korean president attempted to declare martial law, South Korean lawmakers literally fought through tanks and military forces and climbed fences to get into their Parliament building to stop him. So, you know, that.

scum villain self-saving system, getting-to-know you doodles after reading it in 2020! (1/?)

Artemis and the Artemis II mission! I can’t stop thinking about the Artemis plushie watching over the launch of the Orion hahaha #art #sailormoon #artemisII

so weird how your body needs food to function

I still see too many users here unaware of this, and it's why we are never getting things like soft-blocking, restricted/locked accounts, or circles (and if we do, you shouldn't trust them). Treat EVERYTHING you do on here INCLUDING DMs as though it is fully public (because it is!)

I truly love a dumbass protagonist but sometimes they are so very dumb that I have to put the book down for a moment and put my head in my hands.

If there’s a trope name for “character who finally meets a shred of kindness for the first time and forever imprints on that person without them noticing” I need to know cos it’s one of my favorites.

@ningicoco.bsky.social SVSS has been nothing like I expected from the title. I am cracking up

Medication tapering is killing me but I got one of these in my house which is pretty rad.

LRT Wikipedia a place where you list sources gets more ragged on than ChatGPT a place that MAKES SHIT UP on the regular and steals content is something that still drives me bananas

NEW: Wikipedia has banned AI-generated content.

Figuring how what hiring managers are going to be bothered by is like reading tarot cards that have been dunked in water.

I feel like a lot of people who aren't tuned in think J.K. Rowling's transphobia is the typical celebrity case of "oh, they just made some off-color comments one time several years ago", and not a single-minded genocidal obsession which has utterly consumed her entire goddamn life.

Seen tacked to a community board on my walk

who was the first person to see a frozen lake and be like “get me my sharpest shoes”

the "make the NPC in a dollmaker, because you've got a vague idea but would prefer descriptive stuff" continues to eat my time for NPCs who may only show up in game for like one session

Very irritating I can't rename my ebooks on Kindle when they converted with weird formatting but I'm finally using my 'collection' feature after a bajillion years. I may actually expire on the spot if my kindle keyboard ever dies.

I continue to feel validated in my decision to not read Brandon Sanderson whenever he's recommended cos the vibes felt off. (This is not hating on him or if you read him, just every time I read something about his books I'm like yep that is not for me.)

I didn't watch Firefly when it first aired because I immediately saw "girl in a box" and said "THAT'S AN OUTLAW STAR RIPOFF" lmao

What To Know About ‘Sinners’ https://theonion.com/what-to-know-about-sinners/

I was asked to give my thoughts on generative AI usage in games - here they are!

I’m going to start rereading Murderbot so I’m ready for May before I try something insane like starting the October Daye series over after I just finished it (there are three short stories I need to read that are in editions I don’t have tho)

hey remember when Sean Penn kidnapped Madonna, held her captive, bound and gagged her, and beat the shit out her?

It’s so annoying I can’t find October Daye fan content because EVERY SITE SEARCH engine keeps autocorrecting to “day” or “date” even when it says it’s not.

Adam Baldwin was literally *the* guy who named GamerGate and made it go viral. It was just some loser 4chan/incel YouTuber shit before then. They spammed him to get his attention because they knew he’s also a psycho loser and they wanted to make it go viral, and he did it. And it worked.

BREAKING: The Senate has passed the biggest housing affordability bill in 30 years, and it includes a ban on investors buying single-family homes. The bill passed 89-10.

the way my blood pressure spiked when I read the latest summary for the 20th october daye book (which yes i've readthe series in what i am horrified is maybe 2 weeks don't TALK to me I went into a fugue state) the series does a lot of really building sympathies but also making me go THIS BITCH

worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.
