Finally saw my basement after just over a week of living here but only after Kay went down first so I knew it wasn’t super haunted, I would not be a good person to have in your corner in a horror movie type scenario

I really wanna keep up on the censorship and privacy invasion of it all but sometimes it’s just so overwhelming I feel sick and shaky like I might have to sit this fight out a couple weeks

I think it's important to make art so you can confront the whirling bladed nightmare at the center of your brain and come out the other side different and gayer

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

This reads like a 4th graders "what I did on summer vacation" assignment. My sister in christ, you didn't get a 0 because of discrimination. You got a 0 because you can't write for shit and have the intellectual curiosity of an oven mitt. This is a COLLEGE LEVEL CLASS.

Been slowly chipping away at Butter by Asako Yuzuki and I do not think I’ve ever had a harder time trying to pin down exactly what a book is trying to Say when it’s being very blunt in how it communicates its themes

Love and light to her but the way she’s perching her bowl precariously on the corner of her sink is giving me heart palpitations

Just a quiet, sad little PSA.
If someone is estranged from their parents, please please don’t give them the ‘but they’re your mum/ dad’
They were their mum / dad when they did the worst imaginable things to their own kids.
It’s not up to the children to make it ok. It’s up to them to live well.

Just so we’re clear; if you use gen AI for your writing at all then I don’t care what themes the work contains or what point you are trying to make. Using gen AI tells me that you fundamentally cannot engage with or create art in any meaningful way and nothing you have to say to me has any value.

Was reading a Japanese book last night that had a big plot point about Christmas cake and even though I have in fact been in Japan at Christmas and had Japanese Christmas cake I was still picturing a UK style pudding that you put brandy on until they mentioned strawberries and buttercream

The repairs company tried to direct me to a fucking chatbot and I did in fact give them a piece of my mind about it when they asked for my feedback
I was like ok if you clarify that it's prone to misinformation at the bottom and you should double check all information with a human THEN WHY IS THERE?

'Tis the season once again!
Around this time of year, people who strung their Christmas lights the wrong way start wandering into hardware stores looking for what they later find out is often called a "suicide cable."
