this is the resistance this whole shitshow deserves

wait a fucking second DragonForce is: A: Still around B: Making video game tribute songs C: Still sounds exactly the same shine on you crazy diamonds

I rarely watch movies or TV, don't listen to much pop, missed a lot of books, and I'm not interested in sports. So it's more like I live on a tiny island amid the sea of culture and every so often someone wanders into shouting distance and we go "halestorm whoo" or "remember mythbusters?"

I accidentally glitched out an animation I was working on and created a perfect example of what the passage of time feels like to someone with ADHD

nothing gets the dishes done like algebra homework

they're right, synthwave IS good driving music also The Midnight's latest album is out go listen to it

#QueerPrompts I have done absolutely no writing, but did figure out a few things my ideas were vaguely pointing me toward, so I guess that's something.

#QueerPrompts #writing Arien had a miserable school experience. He wouldn't have done it on purpose, but a lot of people are very lucky they didn't push him quite far enough to find his magic. The church he was forced into was less lucky.

#QueerPrompts #writing Unsure if Cassie or Jason would have had more crushes. She's had more actual relationships. Jason has a harder time getting past the "guy hot" stage. Arien hasn't had any and wouldn't know one if it smacked him in the face.

#QueerPrompts #writing It's normal enough that it's not remarked upon much, but there are still bioessentialist bigots who like to make a fuss, and gendered social expectations that can result in being snubbed if not performed correctly.

All the #Murderbot #crochet book covers 😍 @marthawells.com. This is one of my favourite book series from this year. "As a heartless killing machine, I was a terrible failure." "There needs to be an error code that means “I received your request but decided to ignore you." #booksky #books #craft

For my balloon 🎈 day, may I be so bold to ask for a little share so that my art reaches fellow fantasy and mythology lovers? 🫣✨

As someone on the spectrum, I can tell you, people don't want unapologetically weird, they want socially acceptable quirky.

and the other part is out fuck yeah

he might be lying, but I provide the counterpoint that this absolutely checks out with people reflexively convincing themselves that Trump was a harmless idiot in his first term because he didn't get to build his wall, so how bad could he REALLY be? The people in cages didn't count then, either.

so tired of pulling shit out of the fire because of a combination of my garbage memory and other people not doing their jobs right in the first place

Well don't I feel stupid

say what you like about shorts but where else is this going to happen

Disney/ABC put Kimmel back on air. Sinclair & Nexstar are blocking him. These are state-licensed stations funded by ads, not Disney. Pressure advertisers, file FCC complaints, and push back on corporate censorship. #FreeSpeech #NoKings #Kimmel

This is the official communication from the FDA to physicians on acetaminophen use in pregnancy. - They acknowledge the lack of a causal link with autism - Essentially tell physicians to keep doing what we've been doing anyway It's very different from the press conference. Pass it on.

tomorrow I get to find out if I still have healthcare because of a follow up to a letter I never got in the first place wheeeeeeeee

#QueerPrompts Most would assume they're straight until Cassie starts making eyes at a pretty woman and comments about her being hot and Arien agrees but purely from an aesthetic standpoint and fashion choices. They don't seem to be having the same conversation and yet somehow they are.

#QueerPrompts Cassie likes new things so she's up for adventure. Arien wants peace, but to him, peace is feeling safe and taking his mind off his past, and he can do that best with Cassie. So an adventure with her would be his peace.

#QueerPrompts Cassie and Arien discover their magic can combine to heal the elf forest, so both of them have a very literal way to do that. But they also care in other ways and Cassie has definitely joined in volunteer trash cleanup and other events before this.

#QueerPrompts Cassie is attracted to anyone so figured out she was at least bi pretty quickly and revised it to pan later, because why limit options? Arien thinks past abuse broke him somehow. It's a relief to figure out he's just ace and it's normal.

day's not over yet

No, Tylenol does not cause autism. And there is no compelling evidence that leucovorin reduces symptoms. A consensus summary is found here - www.coalitionofautismscientists.org

we have gone from a world in which we were told not to cite wikipedia because it was unreliable to a world where wikipedia might be the only reliable source left on the internet and we all owe a lot to the pedantic nerds who got us there

There are other painkillers, so I guess Tylenol is a better conspiracy theory than vaccines, until it turns out the government-approved replacement is just Thalidomide 2 and RFK Jr is its biggest stakeholder or some shit. It's also not going to change the minds of antivaxxers.

at this point I wish the rapture was real and not just an excellent way to traumatize the children they claim to care so much about get rid of them all in one fell swoop, goodbye, good riddance, leave the rest of us the fuck alone

It's been annoying me how many people complain about being "censored" when asked to tag their NSFW material. This attitude doesn't help anything when actual censorship shows up and happily uses it to its advantage. Good thread on why tagging is important.

so much for bringing down the price of eggs, huh

I had really hoped this wouldn't be the case, but some bad news (not what you think, Twitter trolls) made me need to make this official. The subathon, in addition to just keeping a roof over my head, is also to raise funds for an eventual immigration to Canada, Vancouver specifically. 🧵

As someone who worked at a Nexstar station, this would be a 5 alarm all hands on deck fire for even one account

Go check out the whole series of squares, this happens to be my favorite color scheme of the bunch

#QueerPrompts Cassie's first was fashion - designing it, exploring different shapes and materials, and getting as much versatility as possible out of limited pieces. Arien's first was nature, then building. He combines them by recreating realistic movement in mechanical creatures and devices.

THIS-what's also helped me in times like this is to read/listen about what others went through. Especially for those of us who work in entertainment @karinalongworth.bsky.social incredible series on the Black List is a great place to start www.youmustrememberthispodcast.com/episodes/201...

"Where's all the protest music?" There's plenty of protest music! They never stopped making protest music! But it's not going to get played on the radio because IT'S OWNED BY CONSERVATIVES WHO WILL NOT PLAY MUSIC CRITICAL OF THEMSELVES. ClearChannel/iHeartRadio. Sinclair.
