me trying to use CSS is like navigating a Miyazaki poison swamp - there's a sense of accomplishment working out the problems, but I'm taking tick damage the entire time

the “thanksgiving food is bad” discourse raises its ugly head every year, but the truth remains that thanksgiving food can be amazing as long as you know how to cook. the problem is we’re throwing a few million sunday drivers directly into a grand prix
I think this is unfair to turkey. turkey is good but hard to cook well because it is so damn big. turkey *parts* are great but lack the esthetic appeal of a centerpiece bird.
it is tired to the point of cliche to say if turkey was good, people would make it more than once a year. but it is understated that at least one American explodes every Thanksgiving in a brave attempt to make the main dish more palatable

there is no excuse for prerecorded showcases to not have subtitles! it’s prerecorded!! it has been edited and produced!! ADD SUBTITLES IT’S SO EASY!!!
Man I am so fucking tired of people brushing off the NECESSITY of captions during livestreamed award shows and showcases.
And no, "just watch it after it's aired" is not acceptable when I've been ASKED to co-stream the live event.

Canadians & permanent residents of Canada, consider signing this: a petition to raise CPP's Death Benefit, which hasn't been increased in decades. One of my classmates put it together. We need 500 signatures.
Signal boost liberally. Let's help grieving families get the support they need.

One of the cruelest tricks society played on creative people was planting the idea that being proud of your work is somehow unseemly and egotistical.
You made a thing! You like it! You SHOULD be proud of it. Brag all you want!

the only good thing about genAI is that it got me to really love seeing bad art, because I know a person put in time and effort, made themselves vulnerable by showing it to others, and is trying to improve. I value that more than anything now
