Apparently this is a hot take but if you buy boots that tear up your feet to break them in, they probably don’t fit you right

This is a big and significant win, and speaks to the real power of public advocacy campaigns. Still a VERY long way to go in the fight against the cuts, though. Join us at @tbfighters.org in pushing against attempts to cut U.S. investments in domestic and global health.

My doctor asked me at my latest appointment if I’d heard of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome before and I had a bit but didn’t think it applied because my elbows and wrists are normal but she just looked at me and my skin and my dislocatable fingers and went “I think you should at least look into it.” So.

Had to explain to someone recently the reason I ‘didn’t care when Obama did it’ is because I was 9 when he was elected.

I got a promotion at work and to celebrate spent way too much money on the deluxe edition of bg3 because I refuse to buy digital only games. I am so excited to get it tho

Currently imagining a hat that says ‘caves want me, snails fear me’

Made a therapy appointment and I’m already anxious about it what if I don’t know what to say and then I don’t work on the things I actually need to and then waste all my time. As you can see, this appointment is overdue.

I should definitely go back to therapy because holy fuck the world is on fire but I don’t know if I have the energy to do it 😭

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

Says the man who just admitted the Tate bros to the U.S.

“Everyone was so overly earnest ahead of the ban. It’s going to be so embarrassing now.” Fuck no. Break open the earnest floodgates. We’re about to enter a cold, cruel four years. Wear your heart on your sleeve. Insist on warmth and softness. Just stop me if I read poem aloud or something.

Say what you want about TikTok but when I was sad that I couldn’t dye my hair blue back in 2020, hundreds of people duetted to show me videos of their cool hair colors so I could enjoy it vicariously through others. Someone I didn’t know drew art of me with pastel blue hair. I’m gonna miss it.

Democrats really out here looking like Wile E. Coyote repeatedly blowing themselves up in absurd and expensive efforts to outsmart a goofy ass bird.

They obeyed in advance…AGAIN! The Washington Post killed off its "Democracy Dies In Darkness" slogan. New slogan: “Riveting Storytelling for All of America.”

I have just enough drawing ability to amuse myself drawing a seductive tortilla but not enough ability to draw anything that matters. ADHD is a bitch when it comes to motivation re:learning new skills

if there's anything I've learned in 2024 it's this: leave comments on fanfic you like. I can't count the number of times someone told me I made their week by telling them I liked what they wrote. It feels good!

Trends in Cognitive Sciences recently published an opinion piece on the threat of LLMs like ChatGPT making it easy for misinformation to be widely championed as accurate, which feeds misinformation back into the LLM, further institutionalizing the misinformation.

I’m so fed up with Optimum internet right now I’m gonna scream. I haven’t been able to access my router settings for a while and I’ve called multiple times, only to be told that the issue is being escalated and it should work in a day or two. And it never works. I hate this stupid company

Was talking about books and ‘death of the author’ at work and asked “how dead do you like the author to be?” For me, personally, I prefer when the author is contactable by ouija board. #books #reading

In July of 1981, Ken McElroy, known rapist, pedophile and general asshole of Skidmore, MO was murdered in front of his entire town. Pretty much everyone saw it and no one said a word because he was awful. The case remains unsolved. Anyway, how is the hunt for the guy who killed that CEO going?

IQuick Thread: I really love people who work to take care of the spaces we share online. Because Bluesky is less centralized, more of that work falls to us. As in all things…look for the helpers.

OKAY! So. Thanks to popular culture, when most people hear "pirate ship" they think of a big, intimidating, heavily armed vessel like a galleon or a man-of-war, like this commandeered Spanish vessel from season 2 of BLACK SAILS. 🏴‍☠️

let’s pls dispel the myth that all players want to become more highly skilled (in a competitive sense) not all newer or social players have a desire to become more skilled, learn the ins and outs of strategy, study the meta, etc AND THAT IS OK

The problem with writing poetry in a small town is that you wake up one day and realize you have over 100 pages of poetry and no real way to share it

I told someone they interrupted my recreational spreadsheet building and they answered with ‘that is the most autistic thing you have ever said’. They may or may not be right.

People are talking about moving here from Twitter but I’m coming from Tumblr and I don’t know how this kind of place is supposed to work.

I have a sewing project that is almost done and I have been procrastinating the last 30 minutes or so of work for a month now. Why am I like this.

Maybe we were too hard on JJ Abrams for "Somehow Palpatine returned."

I don’t have pictures but I work in a theatre and had to wear all black but I managed a Halloween costume!!! I went as Wesley from the fire swamp scene of Princess Bride. I had a big hamster plushie as my ROUS, and I was so proud of myself for this solution

In a shocking turn of events, 4.53 hours of sleep is not enough and will, in fact, make me grmpy 😑

always missing him hours 🍫🐇💘 #lapincadbury #dimension20 #fanart #jaradraws

Calvin is my ADHD king.

I relate to Kakashi because I, too, am always tired, love dogs, will read something nsfw in public, and have been put in charge of children against my will.
