OTD in 1986 absolutely nothing happened in Chernobyl apart from a rapid, unplanned disassembly which resulted in the plant achieving its 10 year energy target in 2 nanoseconds according to the plan.

I really like this trend of many baby goats snuggling up together behind a gigantic wool rug (the llama)

Saw a post on the other side where a woman had decided she wasn't autistic after all because she'd gained more experience of socialising and therefore got better at it since her diagnosis. Oh hun, a) are you sure you're not masking harder? and b) do neurotypicals need to practise socialising to […]

Where the fuck is Occam’s razor when you need it — maybe it’s in Occam’s wash bag, could someone go and fetch it, thanks

Me, yesterday: I enjoyed that workshop, but I don't know if I got anything out of it. Me, today: *scribbles first draft of that piece about board games I've been meaning to write, because one of the workshop exercises gave me a way into it*

Sort-of related to LB: in Arthur Machen's autobiography, he mentions how he painstakingly translated a bit of Hebrew he saw in London to find it said 'Bishopsgyte'.

Are you sure you want computer now?

Hope you have a perfect date today.

Plans for today: ✍️ Writing workshop 😖 Migraine, probably, as no deviation from routine goes unpunished

@josh 🎵 Hey Mom, there's something in the back room... 🎵

i knew it!

Been devouring Hemlock & Silver by T. Kingfisher this evening. The grey maid 😱 I haven't felt this level of spooked by a book since I was a kid, it's fucking brilliant. #bookstodon #bookmastodon

In year 6 and year 9 I passed up on school residential trips because the thought of being that far from my parents for that long filled me with anxiety And I think someone probably ought to have raised that

Higher education should not just be free but everyone should get financial support while doing it. Do what you want and get paid to be able to. Doesn't matter if it's STEM or art or humanities.

If I could cope with the smell of boiled broccoli, I'd be unstoppable 🤢

New Actors song :ablobcatheart: also looking forward to listening to new albums from Death Lens and Miss Grit later this morning :blobcatdance:

I've got to the point where I have so many unread eBooks going back years, I've admitted to myself I'm never going to read some of them (either because they no longer appeal, or reviews suggest I'll hate them) and have moved them to the 'meh' folder accordingly.

I remember the days when we ran out of new internet to read.

Went to look for my cats out on the deck and apparently they were busy shooting their album cover

Maybe if I back enough board games on Kickstarter, I'll feel like a whole person.

Thousands of years from now... humans have long since left a depleted Earth, and much of what we know about it is forgotten or confused. But the arts are thriving, and two drama graduates find something unexpected when they make a pit stop to find parts to fix […] [Original post on ohai.social]

Indeed.

i'm starting to get AI psychosis, but because of other people using it

Typo of the day (not mine): 'My pay clams'.

Today's no-nuance hot take is: pushy, aggressive sales tactics exist in the same continuum as rapey pickup artist strategies.

I think Mum might be in a snit with me for taking her friend's attention off her. Which is ridiculous, because I wanted to escape upstairs, but her friend kept addressing me, so I felt like I couldn't leave. But Mum has form for this.

Because, in a franchise full of outdated throwbacks, the Starbucks tie-in has to be the most awkward. Yes, the film industry is so unstable that nobody is able to predict which films will flop any more. Yes, the magazine industry is in the toilet, thanks to the internet and the collapse in the […]

Got back from the gym and my mum's friend is here and she's been talking to me for 40 minutes and I want to make dinner but I don't want to be perceived while doing so ahhhhhhh

Thank you @Wintergr33n for bringing Parastatic to my attention the other day, this lush, heavily-layered music is right up my alley (and also doing a stellar job of muffling next door's kitchen installation) 🎵

How I pick what music to listen to: 1. It's stuck in my head 2. It's newish to me, and I would very much like it to stick in my head 3. I'm in the mood for that genre 4. I want to try something new 5. I dreamt about the artist last night 🤷‍♀️

Got round to listening to a few of the albums people have mentioned/recommended recently, and my shopping list for the next Bandcamp Friday has already doubled in size, heeeeelp.

First listen of the Deary album. S'lovely 😊

You know that common joke about the scissors that come packaged in a blister pack which requires scissors to open? Well, I just bought a screwdriver which was secured in the packaging with a screw 😂

Tfw someone from work was really mean to you in your dream and now you're gonna be like :blobcatglare: towards them all day.
