When I was your age, searching for a phrase in quotes returned results for that exact phrase

josie @josietech.bsky.social · 2d

it took me a couple of seconds, and then I laughed for over a minute

josie @josietech.bsky.social · 2d

The Devil and Billy Markham was published in Playboy in 1979, later turned into a solo one-act. someone turned the first canto into a song, as well. I went and found the entirety of it (albeit in comic sans) here

I remember reading some of the filthy poems he wrote back in the 70s for Playboy. the man had quite the imagination

just wanted to say I have absolutely loved your foxhole updates and experiences... I haven't played seriously in ages and it brings me joy

you should be! I'm very grateful ❤️

back on twitter I used to chuckle when someone would say something eggy and everyone would be like "ugh just transition already" and I thought it curious and funny and then suddenly one day it was happening to me

josie @josietech.bsky.social · 4d

hahahaha I have mine too

Just transition already

josie @josietech.bsky.social · 4d

all right well I don't feel so bad, I joined early August and the girls cracked my egg two weeks later. so I just have to knock out everything in a month to catch up to you lol

josie @josietech.bsky.social · 4d

damn you are speedrunning this, I had no idea you joined (and your egg cracked) months after me... while I'm still dragging my feet on even getting laser. I am so impressed and proud of you ❤️

I think the coolest public thing I ever did was… code and maintain the interactive touchscreen mall directory used at the ~5th largest mall in the US for like twelve years

jesus christ jay is promoting LB’s vibe-coded appview. everyone gets a block. I gotta get some healthier hobbies and stop visiting this awful site

Oh they’re just continuing to scramble to find a justification.

Lying about Link’s alt text is a particular kind of evil I’ll say

If this is the alleged post, you can check the alt text for yourself

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors.

ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't

CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart.

ISILDUR: true

josie @josietech.bsky.social · 6d

heck yeah! respectfully

josie @josietech.bsky.social · 7d

thank you! I've been thinking a lot about it lately but everything online said to wait, glad to know it hasn't been a big problem for you

josie @josietech.bsky.social · 7d

how have your piercings been working out, if you don't mind me asking? the internet widely says to wait until I've stopped growing (now 2 years HRT) or the piercings will be painful and stretch, but has your experience reflected that? (I feel like all my nipple/areola growth was already in year 1)

josie @josietech.bsky.social · 8d

I realized that using bsky is starting to make me feel sick again, the feeling late twitter did. I don’t know if I can give up social media but it might be better if I did?

I do have more friends, more people whose stories I like to follow now though. there are still stories that make me smile.

The function of the waffles joke is an in-group signifier. Singal, Graber, and Oppiliappan are showing in-group solidarity; they're all in on a joke. The joke is they have institutional power, and you don't, and they feel contempt for you, that you still want to have opinions about how power's used.
