It's cool how we keep proving over and over and over again that there's a significant market for narrative-heavy, character-driven, single-player experiences in video games and publishers just categorically refuse to believe us

The cheapest plan available to me (a Georgian) is over $1,000 a month. Healthcare is no longer an option for me. I will ration the medication I take for as long as I can and then I will wait to die.

For nothing. For fucking nothing. What, precisely, was the point of this? What is the point of them, as a party?

Democratic senators voted to make sure that there was more money for ICE to harass your community

Democrats have to stop bailing out Republicans from facing the consequences of their own policies. And yeah, that means they have to stop sparing voters from experiencing what GOP government truly means. Every time Dems step in, it only emboldens the GOP & they make it even worse the next time.

Both of my senators have voicemails from me now - have yours heard from you?

lol she got his ass and he knows it

16hrs left to raise $80 to stay housed tmrw and still nothing for foods, meds, or $500 overdue storage… ❤️‍🩹 ko-fi.com/katimcf

$0 of $60 so far I cannot stress enough that I cannot miss this medical appointment! I know lots of people need help, but I'm putting this out there anyway. Thank you!

Lake Kaindy is a valley lake made by flooding in Kazakhstan, whose water is so cold that it preserved the spruce trees that grew in the valley for over 100 years. Underworld environmental design drop for you!

What if we kissed in the inflatable corn maze

It's me, I'm sickos

Seeing all of the "remodeling" (read: spray painting shit gold) at the white house makes me think of how Trump got his family coat of arms. (Spoiler: he stole them, and painted them gold)

This week I told a senior about a local program and that senior already called the program and let me know they will get help that will keep them off the streets. You don’t need to fight in the streets if that’s not your thing. You can do *something* tho. And that something will matter.

To be fair, it is one of the more mockable things that NTs find strange about us.

For years I mocked the psychiatrist for including "chronic sympathy for underdogs" in my psych eval when I was tested for ADHD at 17 after I went on rants about shit like the basic human right to housing And only now did I realize she was alluding to Justice Sensitivity, an ADHD trait. Whoops.

It was liberation theology priests in Latin America that let me let go of my anger at Christianity after my apostasy - that let me see that there were people who followed the example of the Christ I still respected, even if I did not call him God. I'm always glad to see the tradition maintained.

Security Guard has a patch from something that seems sus. So I look it up. A fitness and exercise brand founded by retired SWAT officers, marketed to "patriots," called "Iron Infidel" spelled out in faux-futhark runes over a cammo American flag. I can only imagine the comments on their promo vids.

You're right and you should say it.

Nah - Bruce is Old Money, did a lot of his education overseas, and was raised primarily by a British butler. He's got something generically Wasp-ish. Every other member of the bat family is a working-class or poorer weirdo from Jersey. He's the only one who doesn't sound like the Jersey Shore.

this actually still fucking sucks because it’s still mocking disability and framing it as punishment. this dem influencer account posts shit like this regularly, and it sucks that some of my oomfies still follow it

maybe notable: i’m discourse-averse & i think posting actionable threats is silly & i’m still a block and move on with my life over dogpile girlie & even i have yet to see a single thing buried in the “show more replies” that i think belongs there. great fucking bot you got there, bluesky.

bring the flavor to the MICE

God, a thousand times this. That's the thing with dopamine being tied to task initiation - there's a set of gears that won't - CAN'T - engage in my brain, but none of my problems are with analysis. I can be fully aware of all the necessary steps, and stressing about starting, and just... not.

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT Hiding replies without my consent is *dangerous to me* I use the mute function extremely carefully for a reason I need to know if people are being violent at me so I can take action to protect myself I need to be able to choose for myself who hidden @pfrazee.com

Finding out that other people just "brush their teeth and go to bed" almost broke me.

We don't feel good that a task is done; we feel the absence of dread now that it's no longer hanging over our head. That's just the best we get - a temporary absence of stress or panic - and it just feels good by comparison. Relief, not joy or pride.

NO

10/10 take. No notes.

Like a rubber glove on the end of a hose! They could wave at you with them! Tied for Turtles in my "wildest dick aesthetic" bracket.

Metropolis pizza is *heavy.* Thick crust. Lots of toppings. Gotham pizza is flat and greasy and delicious--its perfect for a hangover. Conventional wisdom states that the worse a place is to live the better the pizza is. By that metric, Hub City has the best pizza in the DC Universe.

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

Also, men often fail to recognize that their need to be viewed as rational, logical, and not ruled by their emotions, is an emotional need. Because if we're able to describe why something is good or bad we think we won't be judged for *feeling* good or bad about it. We're avoiding being vulnerable.

We say men are less emotional because we coincidentally don't define anger or reacting because of ego as emotions.

Suddenly imagining something like my four-axis bird taxonomy but for dogs. Like Muppet vs Shark Potato vs HORSE Tremble vs Stoic Employed vs Unemployed Maybe add in a slider - % Wolf.

"Don't get on your Ezra Klein Nonsense don't let Ezra Klein analyze this" all-timer lol Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Pacman.

But I repeat myself.

Important to note that had Sliwa dropped out, Cuomo… still would have lost

Terrible scenes just minutes into the new socialist regime in New York as literally hundreds of billionaires discover mamdani already living rent free in their heads

Soviet republic of New York takes first key step towards total communism by publicly owning Andrew Cuomo

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

Every New Yorker I've ever spoken to has said the words "times square" like they meant "ruptured septic tank."

Yuuuup. It's started. There's something like 1200 agents at Denver International Airport. Salary reports are all over the place, but $50k seems like a good middle mark for the average agent salary - or $24/hour. That's good money, but not "have months of all your expenses saved" money.

ANUBIS: (presses button with paw) [guilty] OSIRIS: im sorry he does this when he's hungry ANUBIS: (button) [guilty] [bad] [food] OSIRIS: you already ate ANUBIS: (button) [bad] [bad] [bad] OSIRIS: he's right though we weighed your heart against the feather and its not looking good

I really hate that people i care about feel the need to apologize while asking for help. Do you have literally a dollar to spare?

Zohran is stone cold man. Putting out an ad in Arabic after all the Islamophobic shit that’s been thrown his way? Pure swag. Dems don’t need to copy his politics or even necessarily his campaign strategy, they need to learn how to grow a fucking spine.

This is your yearly reminder that this form of cranberry sauce is peak. That fancy Martha Stewart recipe? Complete trash. This here? 'Ol reliable. The Tight End you can count on for a first down, your comfort movie, a Honda Civic on a cold morning. Zero ego, 100% performance.
