This is an excellent analogy, because my recollection from grade school is that the pen on the right looks fun and exciting, and then you play with it for a few minutes and realize it's not actually useful for anything and in fact makes some tasks more cumbersome, and never think about it again.

KEEP IT UP!!!

I just miss Izzy Hands so much 😭

I honestly have no idea. I have heard wildly disparate opinions on this. Although my favourite thing a cishet white man ever said to me was, "Are you ever concerned men might find you intimidating?" It wasn't until I was telling someone about it later that he meant it to be insulting.

I love my job, but I wonder when I'll stop feeling like every interaction I have with the young people I work with is making everything worse. I just want to help, but it's hard not to think I'm doing everything wrong and I'm doing irreperable harm that will get me fired.

No, I will not “shut up” about “AI” being an ecology-wrecking fascist grift, and honestly I judge anyone who asks me to do so.

Turns out, I don't hate all beans. Just red kidney beans! This changes everything!

I never order food for myself. Decided to treat myself tonight. Sent it to my work instead of home. Can't afford to order again.

And you think I care?! Look at him!!!

Got myself a sweet treat from a local bakery! Only $4 for this! Only 1 problem though... HOW DO I EAT IT?!

Genuinely if you care about the climate, human rights, racism, sexism, extraction capitalism, drinking water, artistic expression, imperialism, or literally any of the issues plaguing society and you're still using generative AI, then no you don't, and I'm not exaggerating.

So it turns out getting a Switch and Animal Crossing may have been a huge mistake. I've had the Switch since early Nov. and barely used it. Got AC:NH because that's all I wanted to play, and I'm not enjoying anywhere near as much as I'd hoped... What a massive waste of money 😣

I FINALLY GOT ANIMAL CROSSING!!!!!

One of my wildest hear me outs is Vince Vieluf in An American Werewolf in Paris when he shows up as a corpse to taunt Tom Everett Scott after he's murdered.

Thought about treating myself to my first professional haircut in years and I'm just getting discouraged. Every place I looked at is either way out of my price range or has a complicated cancellation/booking policy and requires a deposit. I just want to feel good about myself again...

I was kinda meh on omegaverse fics. Then I considered omega Izzy...

Starting off 2026 by buying a pack of cigarettes for the first time in 2.5 years!

At worked the other day, I looked at my phone and saw the time was 04:28 and exclaimed out loud: "It's my birthday time! That's a good sign!" And got blank stares in return.

All the shifts I signed up for in January were rejected so now I'm sitting here terrified I'm about to be fired...

I just finished reading "The Preserve"

Can anyone help me find/ let me know if there's been an update on the Izzy's Nightmare Christmas fic on here? I forgot to save it and I can't remember who wrote it to check 😭 Last bit I remember was Jack showing up to save the day!

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing a text, writing an email, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing since the dawn of time.

Got invited to the work christmas party at a restaurant only to find out now that I'm here that I have to pay for my meal...

You know you're not in the best place me tally when your considering watching Bo Burnham's Inside again and giving yourself microbangs instead of doing laundry

Resolved! Turns out it's the detergent she washed it with!

My mom made me a blanket that I love, but I think it's made with wool flannel and not cotton flannel so I might not be able to use it 😭😭😭 Apparently the fabric was just labeled flannel, which is incredibly fucking frustrating. It took her fucking days and it's huge!

I like drawing, but I really struggle with how unforgiving paper and pencil can be and it deters me from wanting to continue getting better. Then, because I still feel bad at art, I can't justify a drawing tablet and learning a new program! I'm stuck in a loop 😫

I took this picture to show a new friend what a messy apartment looks like, and I just realized how wild it must seem to someone "normal" who is just starting to get to know ne. It's like a weirdo I Spy!

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is. GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart. But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

My favourite part of using public transportation is a great way to really get to know your community! Taking public transit is punk as fuck!

All we need is $1k and we'd be alright. That would get us back on track with rent instead of always being 1 month behind...

My taste in men is David Tennant, any Skarsgård and tiny little freaks.

Look man I don’t think the people being poisoned by data centers really care if you remove the generated assets before shipping, and I don’t really care if you “only” use the machine that stole my shit and convinced teens to off themselves for internal PowerPoints. Cool motive. Still bullshit tho.

My catchphrase when I mostly recently worked at McDonalds was the same as Janet from the Good Place: Not a girl. Not a robot. EXCUSE ME FOR SPEAKING CLEARLY AND AFFECTING A FEMME CUSTOMER SERVICE VOICE!

Had a dream my cousin gave me an AI generated colouring book for Christmas. In the dream I immediately lost my shit and ruined Christmas. I know I'm just supposed to be grateful, but jfc, not if it's AI

I hate having to ask for help, but I am losing half of my next paycheck and need to pay rent, bills, and loan payments. If you can help, that would be awesome. Shares help too. I know everyone is struggling right now. I appreciate your help. ko-fi.com/killerweasel

It's not much, but I put up a tree for the first time in 10 years! It's tiny, and set up on a wooden chair, but it's something.

One of the best decisions my partner and I ever made wad having a child-free wedding. And we ensured it wiuld be child-free by getting married in a pub 😁

Just tried Irn-Bru for the first time! It's fucking delicious! Why is it not bigger internationally?!

I really hate asking for help, but with the loss of half my pay on my next check, I am going to have issues paying all my bills and loans. I have a kofi and I also have venmo (DM me for that). ko-fi.com/killerweasel

I feel the need to specify that just because it's not for me doesn't mean it's not amazing that a queer show is so mainstream! It's overall a net positive for our community! 🥰

I want to get into Heated Rivalry, but they just seem too young and smooth for me. I want my mlm to be greying and donning a pelt.

The one thing I needed while I was out today was a nail file. I bought one. It has disappeared 😤

I NEED BOOK RECS! I'm finally reading again due to having a lot of downtime at work, but I have no idea what to read! I'm finishing up Circe, and while it is good, it just reminded me how much I don't enjoy first person perspective 😣 I'm open to all genres, but should be work appropriate.

I've been saying for years that book is propaganda

I decided to keep writing his yesterday. archiveofourown.org/works/429839...

I'm at Year 3 Summer in Stardew Valley and it's getting incredibly repetitive. I just wanna finish the Community Center!!!

I have a paycheque now, I can finally afford a little Izzy doll, but they are no longer available 😭😭😭

A personal pet peeve: Your perfume isn't wearing off/weak/barely noticeable (unless you're wearing cheap shit). You become nose blind to it! You don't need to drown yourself in it! No one should be able to smell it unless they are within hugging distance!
