Does anyone know of anything happening in Rotorua this month? #aonz #rotorua

Probably a generational thing, but I can't understand what some people on bsky are saying. I know most of the words, but the order makes no sense to me.

WOW. @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social wrote a PHENOMENAL essay that should be REQUIRED reading for -well, everyone- but particularly all those who find themselves BAFFLED by the fact that NOBODY seemed to know what powerful men were up to till the stories broke wide. harpers.org:2096/archive/2018... 1/3

A movie couple that would definitely have a podcast.

Is there a way to NOT see threads in the window? I just want to see the top level post. Is that possible bluesky? #bluesky

Where are all the well-organized militias? Shouldn't they be organizing or something?

How it feels doing literally any task right now.

TACO Tuesday! (thank goodness) #taco #tacotuesday

morning

Oh wow, you can bet on what words Trump is going to use this week on polymarket.

Five books to get to know me by: 1. Titus Groan by Mervyn Peake 2. Exquisite Corpse by Poppy Z. Brite 3. The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison 4. To the Devil a Daughter by Dennis Wheatley 5. Slinky Malinki by Lynley Dodd

There is a part of me that envies people who believe in ghost and magic crystals. I wish I believed in a future where the grey rain-curtain of this world rolled back to reveal white shores, and a far green country under a swift sunrise. Rather than the grim, relentless march of entropy.

I'm an atheist, but I'm willing to try the power of prayer. You know what for.

I can't believe there's been only one attempt. Disappointing.

With so much crap happening in the world, I did not hear about the law passed in California that requires OS-level age verification until yesterday. Pretty done with clueless arseholes making short-sighted decisions with terrifying long-term consequences.

God, I hate that he is in my head.

Did they attack Venezuela to secure oil because they intended to attack Iran and knew it would shutdown oil shipments from the gulf?

I love that the metservice has stuff like this :) blog.metservice.com/Washing_Weat...

Ok, finished the cozy cottage core book I was reading. Back to Malazan book of the Fallen.

This sucks. I left the US so I wouldn't have Trump in my head every day.

What's My JND? 0.0029 Can you beat it? www.keithcirkel.co.uk/whats-my-jnd...

I have a fear, an insecurity, that I am not an artist, a thinker, or a creative; I am nothing more than a consumer of content. I give nothing back to the world. Merely a parasite that exists to consume. That the person I aspire to be is a dead skin mask hiding a void. I DON'T WANT TO BE LIKE ELON!

Feeling generally anxious today. You ever have one of those days where little things just don't fall your way and it builds up to this fear that things are going to go wrong for the rest of the day? #anxiety

So good to see Diana back! www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3m3...

Bored of Peace?

This is amazing. www.getyourfuckingmoneyback.com

There was a time when cars all had different ways of operating them. They each had a unique UI. It was insane. You had to learn how to drive an individual car. I feel that online video UI is in that place right now. I hope we can soon converge on standard UI.

It's kinda amazing to look back at the creativity that went into a lot of the TV that I watched as a kid. And by creativity, I mean drugs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZsh...

Found some werewerekōkako on a walk yesterday #nz #mushroom #fungi

Last day at Papamoa beach. #nz

Be honest, you forgot all about Stormy Daniels didn't you.

Isn't it curious how a random moment can affect people? Like how the name "Karen" became synonymous with entitled, middle-aged white women. And that's what you think every time you are introduced to someone called Karen.

Losing the ability to cry freely turns out to really suck. Guess I'll just have to get better at pushing those pesky feelings deep, deep down into the pit with the fears and insecurities. I'm sure it'll be fine.

German has so many good words. Does it have something that described food made lovingly because you are making it for someone else? #food #german #love #liebe

Not a bad way to start the day :)

How do you get people to respond to a post? I don't seem to be very good at it. Maybe I just don't know how to use tags effectively. No idea. ARTISTS! How do you approach drawing a portrait where the reference is low contrast and flat? #art #portrait #drawing

TIL Bad Bunny played the Wolf in Bullet Train.

One thing I don't get is the whole "there is no place for violence in politics" in the US. I mean, is the 2nd amendment just for cosplay?

I have to confess, I thought the world was more likely to head towards a Brave New World dystopia rather than 1984. “War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.”
