Give folks their flowers No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier "They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

Hi! Did you know that you aren’t pronouncing axolotl correctly? Suppression of indigenous languages by the Spanish is one of the Four Wounds of Colonization. This is a small subversion of colonial power you can use! Axolotl is a Nahuatl word, and it sounds like this:

lol

Mega Evo booster bundle arrived from pokecenter, probably the only 6 packs I'll get to open the way things are going. I'll take a fullart and 2 ex all day, plus some binder hits, certainly a kinder hit rate than past bundles lol

just got raptured* that sucked *burnt the shit out of my mouth on a fresh pizza roll

remember in The Good Place where like they found the only guy qualified to get into heaven was living sustainably way off the grid because No Ethical Consumption thinking about that among the rapture jokes, saw someone say it'll happen but nobody will notice, yeah because it's just that one guy lol

stuck in my head, for no reason

that's cool. anyway when's the firing of and 1A lawsuit against chairman Carr

remember in The Good Place where like they found the only guy qualified to get into heaven was living sustainably way off the grid because No Ethical Consumption thinking about that among the rapture jokes, saw someone say it'll happen but nobody will notice, yeah because it's just that one guy lol

this speaks to me who left webdev 7 years ago still on LAMP stack w/ JQuery and never was given reason to get into react/node/etc. it's remarkable how much things have gotten bogged down and obfuscated under the load of framework overkill. i could never go back under these standards.

No particular reason

This is why everything sucks. It's not trans people. It's not immigrants. You are being robbed blind before your eyes and those same people also own all the tech and media networks to tell you that the cause is not them

Y'all need to understand the amount of damage Chapek did to the parks and how much good faith "Disney Adults" had lost already. He was boo'd so hard at D23 '22 they had to mute the livestream. Iger was already on notice and barely doing anything to reverse fortunes, this was a VERY easy line to draw

One thing to understand about most “Disney Adults” is that the parks have only gotten more expensive and crowded while offering less ever since they reopened in 2020 so it doesn’t take that much more to make people stop going. And the theme park forums are rightfully pissed about Kimmel

hey Glitch, do y'all need help finding a matching hadatai? I'm so thrown off by the dark grey top but silver hands lmao Mask is probably by Studio Fractal? I'd have expected a better paint job from them, those eyes are rough... Phenomenal wigwork though, just wish the orbs were more to scale

i am on board and strapped in for the "Dana Terrace Unchained" ride. what a masterclass in worldbuilding too.

Some Good News, everybody! "Nonprofit environmental organization the Ocean Cleanup has announced that it's on track to eliminate the Great Pacific Garbage Patch by 2034"

They're already losing a sizeable chunk of World visitors between low international travelers and others boycotting *the state of Florida*, they don't want this heat on top of that. Personally, cancelling any ideas of going to Disneyland during FF Fanfest

so let me get this straight -Nexstar is pending a merger with Tegna which requires FCC approval -FCC chair calls for Kimmel's removal from the air -Nexstar does so from its stations and successfully pressures ABC into doing it nationally -FCC chair lauds their actions Mooom the quids are pro quoing

"It's so confusing isn't it? So much going on, so much to say, and all of it happening so quickly. The pace of oppression outstrips our ability to understand it and that is the real trick of the imperial thought machine. It's easier to hide behind forty atrocities than a single incident." -Nemik

Just FYI: while CDC is no longer tracking much of anything, wastewater data is still being reported. COVID-19 levels have just been nationally upgraded to “high”

love the capitalists that own the government saying "you only deserve to eat if you're creating profit for us"

despite their constant whining about how "wokeness killed comedy!" and "you can't say anything anymore without getting canceled!" after receiving pushback on their shitty punch-down jokes, none of those failed, hacky, has-been comedians will ever conceive of anything in the same stratosphere as this

Dan Gilroy has won the Emmy for Best Writing for a Drama Series for the ANDOR episode “Welcome to the Rebellion” 🏆

Oh damn, those new spirit halloween furheads clean up really nicely, what a boon for new furs and low budgets 😲

My response to this has been "I'm glad they can now grow up with out his terrible influence in their lives."

Getting sick of the term “political violence” when a public figure closely aligned w/one ideology or other is a victim. ICE is also political violence. Armies are also political violence. Not sure of my point - just wish for a term that doesn’t immediately wall an act like this off from all the rest

To all my queer and trans followers. Nothing will spite conservatives more than you living happily and thriving🏳️‍⚧️

Oh man, this one's pretty good, too. youtu.be/SCx_uiSdC_c?...

Damn, i'll repost gritty every day if it gets these kind of results

It is Otakon 2002, the masquerade audience chants for a chair set on stage before a skit. It is Colossalcon 2014, the masquerade audience chants for a chair to be added to the stage. It is Colossalcon East 2025, the masquerade audience votes for a chair to replace one of the hosts. Chair Never Dies.

This is such an INSANELY good point I need EVERYONE to see this like immediately I LOVE bluesky BECAUSE I can actually feel like I've seen everything and get off it, I like twitter where I'd scroll for hours and get exhausted and see a bunch of drama and biscuit and get angry :')

me now that cce and my streak of an event every 2 weeks since July is over

The true purpose of Bluesky has been revealed and it's Michael Stipe telling us the lyrics to It's The End Of The World As We Know It

You used to be able to tell exactly when your info gets hacked by reading the new different style spam letters in your spam folder. There are so many the past month of so many different styles that it's essentially over, you're info is completely gone.

oh my god, cosplayers and idols please learn how to encode your videos before you submit them to a convention, why do we have a 4.7GB video that's 3.5 minutes long in our CCE drive

Happy Labor Day! Today we're bringing you The First Union, as told by HBomberguy (@hbomberguy.bsky.social) and illustrated by Skutch (@skutchdraws.bsky.social) It's the dawn of the industrial revolution, and of the way many of us work... Have you ever heard of the term "Luddite" from an elder?

Time to remind people about the Commercial Pattern Archive — it doesn’t have instructions and search is a bear but there’s two hundred years’ worth of clothing patterns in here including all the big names new and old: copa.apps.uri.edu

damn can't even have birthday curry without inciting disaster

solar lap complete. ugh. all birthdays do is remind me of the abysmal state i'm in. mentally, financially, living situation, general functionality, i might as well be 14 not 41. worthless grotesque manchild leech. the universe couldn't even bother to give me a dead fascist as a gift.

You took a (long) break from wearing a mask, right? You got away with it. But, guess what? There's a *lot* more Covid around again. And, access to vax is up in the air. Just put a (good) mask on again when you're out and about and you'll be much more protected as well as protecting others. ✨✨✨

Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”

why not bump for #fursuitfriday since i kinda dropped that late night

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.” Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.
