I got to make a stained glass @onionbug.bsky.social and it was the most fun I’ve ever had in my whole life. I peaked at dumpster rainbow fs.

I think the joy of being able to do what we do is important. For me, it's working on a script while listening to some really nice music. It also helps the graphic on the video is also so cozy too.

The rizz level of that shirt is princess-like.

Look at this shirt my mom got me for my birthday! It's terrible (positive)! I love it!

Me in a shirt that's like neon turquois almost and it's got a pineapple on them with glasses that look like mine that has blue and yellow vaporwave reflections

No problem! It's been a while since I moved from one apartment to another, but I think that's typically how it goes. At the very least you might be able to snag a night at a motel/hotel if for some reason they absolutely want you out "by the 31st" and they can't wait another day for some reason.

It's spooky month and I originally kicked off this month with today's video: scare tactics and how they really don't work.

Mindfulness has a place in the world, but I'm of the mind it's more fluid than what it's presented to be. It's not just about meditation, or being stoic, or focusing on breathing. It's more.

On World Mental Health Day, I'm thinking of those who...
Are struggling in silence
Have faced stigma & judgment
Are on a healing journey
Support a loved one dealing with mental health challenges
Need a reminder that its okay to ask for help
Courageously share their stories

I still remember the hostile government takeover song and realized then and there, defiance would be throwing art, dazzle, and glitter all over the place. Humour can really make a difference.

Nice to see some progress on this Bunny! Wish I could help but I don't get paid for another few days.

Might be best to ask for clarification from the landlord but normally staying the night/moving a day early is fine. Landlords don't typically fill up apartments the very next day anyway.

Since Link is banned, his mutual aid Fridays have gone with him. This was one of the most altruistic things I’ve seen anyone on this site do.

In light of this, I’m gonna try to fill the gap.

Drop your mutual aid requests under this thread and I will repost them for as long as I can.

Link requested this be boosted so we can help Dr. Divya raise money for Palestinian families in need.

It is also a good day to reinstate Link’s account.

I will say I do like the aesthetic too. Saw some of the films as a kid but not the cartoon. That was my older brother's thing.

Eric S Burdon the weird self-help guru (10/20) @ericsburdon.bsky.social · 14h

Yeah it's pretty wild. On one end, I do like the flavour and the prospect of new players joining. But also I feel like next year aside from the in universe sets I'll just be buying a handful of singles from the UB sets at most.

Video games are also stories to be shared too. They are meant for all and move us too and get us to think.

That's what true gaming is all about.

Mighty Mog @mightymog.bsky.social · 1d

Here’s to remembering why we picked up the controller in the first place.

Not to argue.
Not to compare.
But to live a hundred lives we never could…and feel every single one of them.

Video games weren’t made to divide us… they were made to move us.

Let’s never forget that 💙

Every past version of you was trying to protect your truth until you could live it safely.

That’s not wasted time. That’s loyalty.

Transitioning later in life is how you repay that loyalty, by finally giving yourself the freedom you always deserved.

Magic: The Gathering is for everyone. It's in the name of the card game after all.
