You would be amazed at how easy it is to make your own homemade version of so many snacks, treats, and desserts. And how much better they usually are.

Those who are 35+, what advice do you have for people just entering their 30s?

It's a terrible power and a grave responsibility.

Got a bad habit of watching/reading/playing something for like an hour to get a taste and then going, "That was cool, now to leave it alone until I get an actual mood for it," and that's terrible for getting through anything in a timely manner.

Especially library books.

Just arrived, skimmed through once immediately and will read more closely when I have the time. Entertaining, and beautiful art from @iceghost.bsky.social (and the rest, but no offense, Underwood was my priority here).

Going to NYC mayor is probably the only move from state governor that's a lateral move for him instead of a step down, especially since there's basically no hope for him to step up into national politics. So probably ego.

Trying to put together a bad joke but failing, and now instead just wondering what kink looks like for an intelligent magic sword.

porn is not evil.
sex is not evil.
pleasure is not evil.
kink is not evil.

none of them are things to feel shame or embarrassment about.

none of them deserve the heavy-handed censorship that they're facing.

resist oppression (even if you don't partake in what is being oppressed)

It’s genuinely a skill to make a game like Far Cry 5, a game that outwardly appears to be targeted at the ascendant Christofascist movement in America, and have it shrink away every chance it gets. But it’s the kind of skill that should make Ubisoft execs stare at the ceiling in shame every evening.

Seriously cannot expect to plan on even one day without someone else's shit falling into my lap because apparently my time doesn't matter.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Rolled the same thing (after rejecting the first result of "The Hero" because HAHAHA fuck no not in any universe even the one where I can make a slasher flick as a vanity project). I'm... willing to accept it.

People like this desperately want to think of the sacrificed group as bravely standing in the doorway to slow down the horror movie monster so everyone else can get away, when what they're doing is shoving someone out the door and locking it, then whining about the knocking and yelling.

Oh lordy, this thing. I still remember getting to the "play as Drizzt" level and hating it.
