My useless roommate decided that one AM was a good time to cook half a dozen eggs with sausage, burn the crap out of the eggs, and did not turn the hood vent on at any point of this, causing the whole apartment, including my bedroom, to smell of burnt eggs with a hint of sausage.

I will add to that and say have a separate creative hobby that is solely for you. Not an audience. For you. Something you willfully lose money and time doing. Ceramics, music, sewing, knitting, models, etc. Refuse to monetize it. Refuse to clock in. Protect it from the grind. Keep it sacred.

My mother's boyfriend just mentioned he's able to get chicken breast for $1.50 a pound because he's a chef and he buys it in bulk... If I'm able to get chicken from him I *won't* have to survive off of just beans for the next few upcoming months...

DUDE THE AI SUMMARIES ARE OFF GOOGLE. FUCKING FANTASTIC. Thanks, courts. Well done.

Recommended reading for #Animorphs fans! 🧊🦎 This is a great behind-the-scenes look at how @davidmattingly.bsky.social created those iconic book covers, written by the artist himself.

Humans don't survive without community.

The newest most perplexing thing about useless roommate: How in the world do you grow up in Texas and not know how to fill ice cube trays properly? Just. Huh? What?

The death of subtext is very very bad for textual representation by the way. It only reinforces and feeds into narratives of how to be queer and trans in the "proper" way, and dislocates queerness and queer readings from not-explicitly-queer texts. If something can only be read queerly in one way,

The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting.

I did knee-highs in the pool for an hour yesterday night for exercise and for my knee and everything from the waist down HURTS now. Now to unfortunately keep this up until the pool closes, which if I'm lucky won't happen until close to October.

I'm sorry I don't find "You shouldn't do subtext anymore because people are stupid" to be a particularly compelling argument

"death of the audience" is genuinely unironically good advice for anyone who wants to make anything

Both totally unnecessary and extremely funny that the Guardian has an interactive graphic for you to change the color of the US flag's blue to the color of the Reflecting Pool from 8 to 19 June and counting

That's enough Death of the Author. It's time for Death of the Audience. Start running fools

My favorite childhood memory is having energy.

Happy Juneteenth! It costs 0$ to repost a Black disabled queer small business! It could lead to my next sale. I sell pins, compression gloves, artist gloves, back braces, knee braces, wrist braces, compression socks, cute bags & more! Store: Bibipins.com

As a bonus for everyone who celebrates it, Juneteenth existing as a federal holiday doesn't just make most of the worst people mad, they're never going to be able to get rid of it because Texas as an entity is never going to give up the fact that they got a state day federalized.

Mostly my biggest thought on the latest Boruto chapter is it's really just establishing that despite attempts to insist they aren't and don't, both Jura and Hidari are increasingly showing signs that they are people with feelings and that 'instinct' isn't what they're going to rely on in the end.

I am perfectly fine with being implied to be stuck up if the context is thinking people shouldn't use fucking heckin doggo speech to comment on someone's horribly early and tragic death by a way that is very unpleasant to go, holy shit.

I was explaining Mechsploitation to a kinky cishet friend who said: "Oh, so the Handlers are the Alphas, and the Hounds are the Omegas. This is Omegaverse but for trans lesbians." And listen here you little shit-

I made some ricotta and spinach stuffed manicotti and it is so tasty, this was a great choice by past me.

My Tomodachi Life plans... it was already bad enough that Naruto and Hinata weren't getting together, but now they got into a fight, Naruto wouldn't forgive her, and now they're ex-friends. 😔

Well, rotating the mattress and changing the sheets were definitely overdoing it, oops.

I opened my Tomodachi Life to Ted Kord contemplating divorcing Booster...

Just a thought but if all you want to do is cosplay being a novelist, you don't need AI. Just put on your crappest sweatshirt, make a cup of tea, open Word to a blank page, then go on Bluesky for the rest of the day, and you're sorted.

I don’t need fantasy stories that cure disabled characters. I need stories that stop treating disabled bodies like narrative problems.

Got on the eligible list, which is appreciated but also I should not have had to fight for this to begin with.

Unexpectedly got a phone call back from city HR regarding the position, I'm being kicked up to the manager to decide or not.

Apply for museum visitor service job that asks for customer service experience It's at least sort of adjacent to what I did at the library and is asking for only a year of customer service experience, I have that easy. Got an email saying I was disqualified because I am not qualified. Huh???

I need Nintendo to release the OoT remake the same day GTA6 comes out because unironically I think that is one of the few things that can make Rockstar blink.

it is difficult to argue truths with people whose diet consists of lies

I am absolutely against striking children, but if your 23 year old son says “today I went in and cut a bunch of DEI programs about the Holocaust or some shit, and then killed immunizations for black people LOL” then somebody deserves a whooping, perhaps you instead of your poorly raised child, fine.

This is what got me with the DOGE freaks. They know *literally nothing* about science, policy, anything!! What on earth beside a striking hubris (and here we jmust absolutely blame shit parenting) would motivate them to sit in judgement of experts in those fields? It’s mini-Musks all the way down.

genAI is poisoning our water and planet you should hate it all indiscriminately even if it "never touches" the final product

Because I just brought it up: I still am occasionally stunned by a conversation I had a few years ago while I was doing grad school with an undergrad who was very convinced that Biden was anti-LGBT and anti-trans and that *Trump* was pro-trans and pro-LGBT and were planning to vote accordingly.

I need gamers to understand the Ship of Theseus in relation to Game Studios. Most of these studio names are NOT the studio who made that game. If 80%+ of the devs are different, it's not going to be what you want.

Public libraries should not be the only institution involved in providing care, but while we continue to fight for all care for all people, libraries will keep playing an important role. epicenter-nyc.com/why-being-a-...

Let’s please not follow in the UK’s footsteps on this one. Fight for INCREASED public library funding where you are. And fight for that funding to be used for hiring and fairly compensating library workers. magazine.unison.org.uk/2026/04/22/l...

dude you gotta love people. thats the whole point. if youre not loving people what are you even doing

Happy Pride to all the disabled queer people we dismiss.

My spicy take for Pride Month: It is still abuse and shitty behavior even if it comes from another member of the queer community. Mutual aid is supposed to be mutual, not being used and abused.

Anthony Head, best known for his roles in “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Ted Lasso,” has died at 72

To the degree that the cybernetic understanding of information that was the organizing intelligence of businesses and governments in the 20th century was inspired by the machine and the industrial factory, the organizing intelligence of the 21st century is that of the group chat.
