fiction is a safe space to think of unsafe things

if you feel it's messing you up, step away. don't assume it's messing everyone up and you need to eradicate it because you caught a case of the feel-bads from something. go sit with that and think about why instead of pissing in everyone else's cheerios.

I just looked at her and was like “you’re the most spoiled damn cat and we’ve spent the equivalent of a car to get you home & treat your chronic health issues so I’m gonna eat my own damn leftovers.”

Shockingly, that did not quiet her protests.

We rescued Shitty Little Cat near a Chinese restaurant when we were overseas & we think she’d been living off leftovers for awhile. She’s very good about not begging for food - unless we bring home Chinese food. Tonight I was packing up and she was whining up a storm because I wasn’t sharing. 😂

It is - it probably doubles the time it takes me to do my nails, so I decided I wouldn’t buy anymore magnetic polishes..

People get really hardcore about it and craft their own setups using multiple magnets or a big horseshoe magnet. Meanwhile I use a piddly little ILNP magnet wand, which is probably why I’m not super impressed with the results!

As a nail polish girlie, I’m here to express an unpopular opinion: I loathe magnetic polishes. I’m applying one now (ILNP’s Deep Space) and I love the colour but the magnetic step is a pain and I’m never happy with the way it turns out.

Can’t wait for this trend to die down.

A LOT of people have messaged me about how I "got out at the right time." And theyre not wrong. But I would also add that any time in the last several years was the right time to leave. Because EA is soulless and they enjoy crushing those of us that still have souls. Team Dragon Age forever, fuck EA

If you only read one story today, make it @nicolecarpenter.bsky.social's breakdown of the Saudi-backed EA buyout, which includes thoughts from multiple business analysts and experts who explain what the $55B deal could mean for EA workers, its video games, and the wider industry.

Essential reading.

Running around over the lunch hour which means I didn’t eat much at lunch. Wondered why I was cranky as fuck and unable to concentrate until I grabbed myself a snack.

Turns out eating is good for you. Who knew? 🥴

I finished the last season of Righteous Gemstones last night and checked online and saw some people complaining about the 1st episode of season 4, which is a shame because, not only was it excellent, but the final episode mirrored it during a key moment in a really satisfying way.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

My alarm has been ridiculously quiet since updating to iOS 26. I seem to have issues with my alarm every time I do my annual update, which is absurd.

I haven’t been following the talk of an exodus closely I’ll admit, but I’m unlikely to be going anywhere. I have a Tumblr and have been posting less and less there because I’m growing sick of some of the negativity I’ve seen/experienced there. Here is quite lovely.

An under-the-radar but huge story: in less than 2 weeks, Microsoft plans to end support for the Windows 10 operating system, which is currently used on 42% (!) of all PCs globally. Over 400 million computers will be vulnerable to hacks or destined for the dump if users don't pay up.

Microsoft Is Abandoning Windows 10. Hackers Are Celebrating.

The company will stop supporting the OS on October 14. Advocacy groups warn this will leave up to 400 million computers vulnerable to hacks or in the dump.
