Everyone tells you to be careful with your woodworking tools but no one warns you to be careful with thr cardboard inside the package for your woodworking tools. Cardboard cuts are like paper cuts on steroids 🙃

People will say that humans are evil by nature, but then why do people slam on their breaks to not hit squirrels with their cars? Why did a neighbor, who I have never spoken to, pick flowers from their garden for me because I wanted to experiment with them? Humans are better than we think.

Love going to a gas station and having the cashier get sexually harassed by an old guy, staying until he leaves so she felt safe, then going outside and immediately getting cat called 😒

The loss of 22 episode seasons means we're losing out on the time honored tradition of "episode in which recurring character is suddenly turned evil via MacGuffin and now the actor gets to have fun"

Listen, at the end of the day, if you are engaging with the Harry Potter IP in any way then I can safely assume that you're cool with directly funding hateful, transphobia campaigns. Because that's what you're doing. JKR owns that IP, any profit is going to her and we all know how she'll use it.

death of the author is intended as a framework for literary analysis that entails disregarding paratext and the intentions of the creator in order to create an "objective" analysis of a text. it's not intended as a way to absolve yourself of guilt for financially contributing to a creator who sucks

The first and last thing I’ll say about this whole HP series thing is that the best way to choke out an evil that still breathes is to deprive it of oxygen. Don’t hate-watch it. Not even the trailer. Not even clips that pop up on TikTok. Don’t post about it. Starve it. Make it irrelevant.

Why am I so tired? A vent piece about my disability. Some of the phrases that make up the lines include: Soften your elbows Engage your core Smile so they don't know Pain You're fine Don't stand up too fast Don't sit like that Relax your jaw Smile Be mindful of your shoulder

New for @theverge.com: i wrote about how Kansas' trans ID law and the "age verification" systems popping up everywhere tie into larger efforts to force trans people to out themselves both IRL and online

Everyone deserves housing. Everyone deserves healthcare. Everyone deserves food, water and clean air. These are not things you should have to “earn”. Your ability to survive should not be based on economic output. Help people meet their basic needs & watch the world change.

Latest crochet piece that's more vent art than anything else.

A student worker recently told me that it made her sad when I talk poorly about myself. It's really brought my attention to how I often minimize myself in order to make others feel more comfortable.

Having norovirus and my period at the same time is just plain unfair

If Bilbo had Chat GPT

One of the babies at work keeps telling other babies "stop" when they're crying, and it's so funny because yeah, I also wish they would stop, but that's not how it works dude 😂

Hey! It's our *8 YEAR* Affiliate Anniversary! Join us tonight for some sister co-op and then some party games with chat at 6p/9e. See y'all then! www.twitch.tv/krolmeisters...

grabbing people by the shoulders and shaking them while yelling "when will your advocacy extend past yourself and your own needs????"

can we talk about the canva-fication of graphic design

i survived, bitch

I'm not sure how to feel about how in the last 5 or so years my eyes have gone from mostly blue with a little green to mostly green with a little blue. Weird thing to happen in my 30s lol

Two winter Silly Cats!

Want a Silly Cat of your own, or for a loved one this holiday? It doesn't have to be based on a cat. I can turn just about anything or anyone into a Silly Cat 😄 ko-fi.com/manders/comm...

epic will pay for every game that gets claimed this way so yes, you are still giving money to rowling (and by extension an international campaign against trans people) by claiming this there are other, better franchises - let this one go

Please don’t make me talk on the phone

Hi all! I'm casting my paid mockumentary about YouTube drama culture ($500 CAD, about 3-4 minutes of dialogue, self-tape from home). Looking for a trans woman to play JENNA, an indie TTRPG creator whose Kickstarter blows up and then falls apart. Details + sides: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Sometimes I get emotional about how pets are just these little animals we have in our houses that trust us enough to sleep around us and choose to spend their time with us that's just so nice

Would love for moving to be over

Not to brag but I just canceled my comcast service and it only took 11 minutes on the phone

with alt text, because everyone deserves a good cry. come over.

For those going home to visit family this weekend: • Samsung calls it Auto Motion Plus • LG calls it TruMotion • Sony calls it Motionflow • Roku calls it Action Smoothing • Google TV calls it Motion Enhancement • Vizio calls it Smooth Motion Effect.

I'm sorry Mr. Defunctland I can't watch all 4 hours at once 😔

I have a few things I'm pedantic about and one of them is the difference between sentience and sapience and how everyone gets them confused

#3157 A helpful tutorial

House acquired lol

Yes I am a little bit pedantic but translation is written and interpreting is spoken so on Make Some Noise the game should actually be called Interpreter NOT Translator!!!!!

I truly love my therapist. I've had so few therapists who I actually vibed with (or had the skills to handle my whole deal) and I am so relieved to have found her

Current progress on my free hand embroidery piece :)

I wonder if SciShow knows how much they damaged their brand with that knitting video
