Quote with your queer characters. The crew at the Wet Pelts bathhouse. From left to right back to front, Jake the gay punk, Frank the bear, Lamar the cute twinkle boy, and Tanya, the trans girl, completely out of her element! 🤣

Small hopes!

Soooo... Vitamin D levels had crashed out. Upped my supplement from 1000iu daily to 5000iu daily. Week later, and my head is clear again, and I find I can focus on tasks. Need to ask doc how often I can retest.

@starstryder.space Does this conversation sound familiar?

Just some of my favorite desserts... that's all.

This is why I've been hating on AI. I used it once, and was so annoyed with it I don't ever want to use it again. It felt inauthentic, cloying, so neutral yet sycophant toned and so far away from what I'd actually write. And the idea of spending over an hour trying to get it to say what I wanted?

Something I've seen a bunch is artists not signing their work. I bought a wall scroll from an artist and she hadn't signed it. I asked her "Is it your work?" "Yes, but people don't like when I sign it..." I made her sign it. I understand the ideas for not dating but hmmm. youtu.be/Rki3TqJvcl4?...

Explain my @ ? Back in the day, transferring from BBS land to the internet, the username i used was taken everywhere, so I needed a unique new one. I came up with NeonKitten. As the internet got even MORE crowded, I added the Ms. It still remains unique across much of the net. ♥️

I want to staple this (in as much as you can staple a video clip lol) onto the foreheads of writers and editors who have limited experience making comics.

I did a cleanup of Discord servers I'm on, channels i follow on Twitch, YouTube subscriptions and... it was a bit cathartic to just let things that were no longer my vibe go.

What's the current Vegas odds of which of the two parties is going to schism first?

I can't count how many meetings I've accidently left because of where Microsoft chose to put the leave button.

The "I have a blood draw that requires me to fast so have not eaten yet today" forgives a LOT of sins in a meeting. Started out rough... but coworker solved the issue with my demo... By the end, I looked shiny again. Now to get blood drawn and get some food. Whee!

lot of people been posting this one but here’s my post of it with my name correct. okie doke

This is adorable. <3

One lesson our terminally online, "social" media addled brains has forgotten: Silence is always an option.

Oop.

That moment when you've been working on a project for way too long, and you're in the final few inches of it... and you believe you're done, and you push the button to turn it all on... AND IT JUST WORKS!!! And then all the tension you've been holding releases from your body. 🥰

Charlie Kirk’s shooter was a 22 year old white cis man & 4chan groyper. Charlie Kirk’s last words were “gang violence”. he was claiming Black people were inherently violent right before his life was ended by another white man. Here is a description of Kirk’s terrorism by one of his many victims:

I think, we can posit, it was done for the memes, and the lolz. And the target was likely not chosen because of politics, but because of high profile visibility on the internet. "Points Value". Infamy gained for target choice. The incoherency, seems to be the point.

This is a really good sum up of the conversation... :D

Seeing a lot of posts going up and going down really quickly today... hmm.

On another note. Don't dehumanize your enemies. It takes away your ability to accept what they do as within the bounds of human behavior. It can remove the tools to analyze how we can prevent things from happening when we consider the atrocities as outside of human capabilities.

The thing everyone needs to remember, is no one puts themselves into the "Acceptable Losses" category when they say there will be "Acceptable Losses"...

I got both Flu and Covid vaccines yesterday. As expected I am wrecked today. But, as soon as I got a notice the new Covid variant vaccine is available, I scheduled a same day appointment. I prefer to do them on a Friday so I can sleep it off on Saturday.

I've always adored this comic. I use it often with younger peeps trying to figure out what to be. I think we lie to our children. We tell them they can be anything. But we rarely give them tools to help them figure out what they really want to be. viruscomix.com/page446.html

Up your Spot the AI Slop Detection Kit: youtu.be/EyrlM5Qa5pw?...

Yeah... this is a great look trying to get foreign investment into the states... apnews.com/article/sout...

i'm being so good and virtuous in my daily routine, why do i feel like i'm dying

Every queer person in the US is probably feeling like every queer person in 1930s Germany right now... And if you're not... why not?

I think I can find a few bucks to do this.

I firmly believe children shouldn't suffer but as these bad policies take hold and spread, they _will_ suffer. And maybe, in the horror of the suffering that is already beginning, maybe, just MAYBE we can get back a sense of sanity. But it should have never gotten here.

Florida Decided There Were Too Many Children

Hey! @maklelan.bsky.social I've seen Deuteronomy 23:1 thrown at trans women as justification for childish discrimination and harm against them. Would love to see your take. Granted, I do know rational discussion won't change Dogma type's minds because they've already decided they're right.

When people try to tell me "VACCINES BAD!" I recommend they take a walk through long running graveyards and count the number of headstones for children and correlate them to the dates. After the introduction of vaccines, the number of children dying young, decreased significantly.

That's the problem with saving the world... you can't just save the part you're standing on, because then you wouldn't have saved the world.

Why The Fuck does "Broad Appeal" always mean having a group to torture or point to as other? Because that's the words coming from the Dem Establishment right now... All I want is elections where I can vote FOR someone instead of just voting against someone else...! 😡

Are we great again? All I feel is embarrassed... youtu.be/pRT2zyWL-Do?...

When a solar telemarketer suggest they can "cut down trees" if they're blocking your roof from getting sunlight, I find something.... definitely wrong with that. Also, my patience is gone, and my nerves are frayed. I snapped at solar telemarketer when they wouldn't accept my No.

A Coleco Adam. It was the version that connected to the old Coleco game system... i did a lot of Logo and Turtle programming on it.

Pamela ( @starstryder.space ) is going live on Twitch.tv/CosmoQuestX with a Ninja Stream! Starship will do something. Will another one bite the dust? Come join us for a watch party. (I needed to share my brain worm. You're welcome.)

Walz is a good speaker, but the approach he's taking in this clip, with a few tweaks here and there, is available to pretty much any Democrat. This isn't the language of the party's left wing. It's just the simple rhetoric of an opposition party in a time of domestic crisis.

Random thing I miss working on-site: Co-workers randomly leaving bags of Lego in my cube because their kids "got tired of them" 🤣

A friend ( @kerbal01.bsky.social ) shared a pic of their just hung pride flag in discord. At this point, I feel the packaging folds in pride flags are PART of the pride flags.

This is the best product listing copy I’ve ever read

Tons of Hype, Lots of Flash, very little substance. Now can we get all the "AI features" out of otherwise good software please? Thank you!

What's that Granny Weatherwax quote? "There's only white, and white that's gotten dirty?" I've never seen white myself... I think we're all a little muddy...

You know what depresses me? Watching really smart people who actually know their shit, use AI and be disappointed by the outputs. And then blame themselves, not the AI for the failure.

A Friendly Reminder: The Enemy of your Enemy is NOT your friend, but they will do some of your work for you, and help you conserve your resources for the fight. This applies across many scenarios right now. Don't hinder your Enemy's enemies. And yes, sometimes support them.
