I'm caught up for maybe the first time EVER with a CR campaign and I'm like....what do you mean there isn't more content and I need to WAIT? This has never happened to me, I've always been behind. I mean, it's only 2 episodes in, so there's time for me to fall back and struggle, haha

I'm sorry, my complaining worked and my library hold came in. But if you were to recommend one, which would it be?

I finished my book club book, but now I'm at a loss of what to read next until my library hold is available. I tried reading a cheap romance novel, but despite loving the genre, this particular one was just so badly written that I had to stop. If anyone has recs, I'm all ears!

I will never shut up about the Sarah Connor Chronicles, not even sorry

Everyone has a 1-2 season TV show they sorely miss and not enough people knew about that you are always praising the heavens about.

What's yours?

This was in my top five moments of the season for me. Loved it, and phoned my Dad about it immediately to be like "did you see that?!"

AHHH, I ADORE MY FRIENDS SO MUCH!! I've been so blessed that years ago I was invited to play in a campaign with such great people and tonight was such an amazing session that my cheeks hurt from smiling. We didn't defeat anything except self doubt but damn it felt good!

I need a guide on how to people properly.

alice @noblealice.bsky.social · Sep 8

How long is too long after the fact to compliment someone? Like, let's say you wanted to say that someone/something was good/cool but then you were busy and then you forgot for a second but THEN! you remember again and it's like.... has too much time passed? Is this weird to say something now?

ICYMI: This is one petition Canadians do NOT want to miss. This is not your average Change-dot-org petition. This is the kind that could lead to serious changes against paypro censorship

www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

Petition details
Petition to the House of Commons
Whereas:

Mastercard, Visa, and other payment platforms have been leveraging their power over consumer ability to purchase legal content;
In 2021, Mastercard changed its policies to regulate adult entertainment by preventing the use of its payment platform on numerous adult entertainment sites;
As of July 2025, video game distribution service Steam now cites rule 15, that “adult only” content is not permitted on the platform if it goes against payment processor’s policies. Steam does not describe what content is defined as “adult only”;
As of July 2025, video game distribution website Itch.io has “deindexed” all adult NSFW content from browse and search pages. Users that previously purchased legitimate video games cannot access games that have been removed; and
This has set an unsettling precedent of corporate censorship, causing concern in video game development teams, including developers, voice actors, and artists in other creative fields as their livelihoods are in limbo.

We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to
1. Stop financial discrimination by payment platforms against legal goods and services;
2. Ensure transparency to consumers about content restrictions and the rationale behind them; and
3. Protect creators' rights to make legal adult content and ensure a fair appeals process for any penalized media.

Canadians! There is a petition to sign to protest Mastercard and Visa's control over the purchase of legal adult content. This is specifically about the Steam & itchio situation, but language protects adult creators.

There are like a hundred other mistakes that my brain insists are the worst crime against humanity and won't let me forget, and replays them for me constantly and if you're thinking "gee, maybe you need therapy and/or anxiety drugs?" buddy, I have BOTH. This is me with years of them!!!

Why am I the worst person ever to live? AHHHHH.

Now, you may think, "while XYZ person is alive, you're not the worst"

Okay, but did you know I called my friend's husband by the wrong name and only corrected myself instead of being put in the stocks?

Tonight's sunset was a really stellar one. 💖
