Your worries will develop into neurosis, not clarity. Following as much news as you can will overwhelm your empathy and turn social media into a TV/couch potato trap. Actions within your city, community or even your neighborhood are more immediately useful and fulfilling. Be tangible.

Chai started out as a cat girl and I kept her like that through all of ARR - then I bought the expacs all up to Stormblood and she became lizard. I tried Viera through Shadowbringers but it just didn't feel like her, so lizard she stays

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

If anybody was curious about what makes a pair of characters qualify as "Blowjob Brothers," I put together this handy checklist. Hope this helps!

It's -20 in Minneapolis and organizers are in the streets before dawn getting ready for actions related to the general strike. They've had locals training out-of-town volunteers on how to prepare for and endure the cold. AND IT IS WORKING. THE STRIKE IS HAPPENING. THE CITY IS DOING THE DAMN THING...

My greatest display of trust is when I ask an artist who has only done SFW art for me to do NSFW. I am opening my Freak to you! I am trusting you!!

I feel seen

rephrasing it better cause it keeps happening: don't follow me if you have "proship dni" in your bio, we will not get along

Just shared this one Facebook, because I had to get the words out. Sharing here in case its in any way useful to you.

PSA: Do NOT plug a space heater into an extension cord or power strip! Most of them are not rated for the high power draw of a space heater and it can cause them to overload, overheat, and start fires. Space heaters should be plugged into well-grounded wall outlets with 3ft clearance around them.

TALLxSMALL GPOSE TIP! You can lock the vertical position of the camera with Ktsis! If you've posed a tall with a lala, you probably have had a random click change the gpose target and yank the camera 3 ft up or down. This stops that completely! (This still works if you use brio for posing!)

You love to see it. cybernews.com/security/dev...

i think i want to kill the term cringe. cringe is out. it implies shame, but we gotta be shameless. i'm making 2026 the year of Being Authentic. loving wholly and unabashedly with your whole chest anything and everything that brings you joy or inspires you. fuck what your opps think

"Research would tell us that most ICE agents entered into these jobs in part because they want approval, and they want to affirm their masculinity in public," said sociologist Nicole Bedera. "An ICE watch works by surrounding these people ... with disapproval."

Bringing back ACTUAL "dungeon exploration" duties like in the old days, that includes reverting ones that have been streamlined into the new "it's just a straight line setpiece of pulls and minibosses because new players have the attention span of a gnat" format of the last three expansions.

Until that happens I want to hope again and I want it to hurt. Because that means it meant something it means I am… something, at least.

Tbh this mindset is all that gets me through when I start spiraling about the state of FUCKING EVERYTHING

big fan of lumull.... need more normal characters who experience 0.000001% of what the wol goes through on a daily basis and is just freaking out the entire time about it

i don't go to xiv anymore and i admittedly haven't updated this doc, but anyone and everyone is free to take from it and create their own and even source it. it includes a bunch of black hair mods, and modders, that i looked to for my own modding. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

People not in Minnesota: please read this excellent summary of what life is like in Minneapolis since the murderous scum ICE swarmed here. And more are on their way. By local reporter / writer / bike dude / legend @dbrauer.net .

From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.

reminder that it is now past 9pm across Canada and the U.S so you are no longer permitted to think about your life, your relationships, or unfulfilled creative pursuits

Absolutely fuck ICE and nazi Barbie. I require anyone running for congress, president, hall monitor, etc to be in favor of prosecuting every last one of them. That’s the price of my vote.

A Humble Sunflower's Humble Attire Giveaway 🌻 this is actually so cute, I need to share!! I'll be drawing 2 winners ✨ to enter: follow, like, & share bonus: tag a friend or comment your wol! ends on Jan 21st~ 💛

no one stopped me so this post is here. when i tell you the literal only sincere characterization and storytelling for zoraal ja is localized exclusively in the everkeep trial itself and nowhere else in the game im serious

I still don't know what a limit cut is and at this point I'm afraid to ask

Chiitan loves good transgender people🏳️‍⚧️ In today's world, even making these kinds of statements will get you slandered, but I think it's more important to create a world where transgender people can live peacefully and be themselves, so I will continue to send out messages until my account is deleted

In case anyone else wants to remove all of their posts on twitter/X, I can vouch for this script working well and being straightforward to use. there's a video that walks you through the process in case you're a web noob like me, and it made an overwhelming ordeal much much easier.

this bears repeating: Grok is bad because it's creating NONCONSENSUAL sexual images of real people. Not because sex is icky and should be scrubbed from the Internet. The distinction is crucial at a moment when dangerous censorship legislation is bipartisan and widely misunderstood

A general request. If I happen to be followed by or following someone that is of unsavoury character for legit reasons - mutuals are welcome to DM as to who and why so I can then take action if needed. I dont see a lot of stuff so miss things.

Wish I could internalize this

Here are some of my less-public/non FF ones! I feel like I always answer with Chai soooo

Porn and erotica are important and societally valuable forms of speech, and the defense of them, in the face of state and church attempts at repression, is a necessary political act.

oh, that character there is genocide guy, he's kind of a fan favorite. the one next to him, though, that's the one everyone hates, she was rude once.

wild how we're simultaneously enacting what amounts to a creeping state-by-state porn ban and also telling everyone the whole future of the internet is robots that simulate CSAM and non-consensual sexualized images on demand
