I talk a lot about MCAS and TTRPGs.
Canadian-Australian living in Alberta.
Probably won't follow you if you're American. I get enough of that on every other social platform.

Just putting this out there, I want to teach people how to sew (via video call) this year, if you want sewing support let's chat!

I have a degree in Apparel Technology, and I need a way to support myself that doesn't exacerbate my MCAS, online sewing coaching is something I'd LOVE to do.
I love learning about rare kinds of twins.
Today I learned what heteropaternal superfecundation is, and I am going to share my new knowledge with you! It's when a woman has fraternal twins by different fathers, and it's been found in the archaeological record.

Some AI boosters talk about AI like a technical innovation, and some talk about it like a new labor class they can oppress to their heart's content, and some talk about it like a force multiplier for productivity, and some talk about it like they might never need interact with another human again.

No. Being on set is super fun and I miss it. Why would I let AI take away the funnest part of the process, making a thing with other people??
Writers if you could drop your novel or short story into an AI and have it make a great and watchable movie out of your story, and you could sell that movie, would you do it? #writers #WritingCommunity

there's a line of argumentation i keep hearing on tiktok: "if the only thing keeping you from being vegan is cheese, then be vegan except cheese, or vegetarian except bacon. just do that, if it's the only thing stopping you" and i think that kind of flexibility should be encouraged

Scientists should graduate ready to share what they know, effectively. Even the top science programs in our country do not require science communication and public engagement for their graduates. This is dangerous. Let's change the future. Sign the petition to make a difference: bit.ly/3LbnfHB

The trend of covering love songs from the other person's POV started as mostly funny parodies, but sometimes I stumble upon one like the story of the closeted girl from "Good Luck Babe" and in typical fashion lie on the floor and stare at the ceiling for a bit.
good luck, babe (but from the other girl's pov)
this video idea is completely inspired by Priyanka Pande, so make sure to check out her video, too :) the track is from sing2piano i don’t monetize my videos or take sponsorships, so here’s a link if you’d like to directly support the channel (no pressure at all—only if you can! times are tough out here lol) ↓ buymeacoffee.com/iambrielleanderson #chappellroan #cover

I have just learned that unflavoured toothpaste exists?! And it comes with fluoride and is SLS-free?!

Unfortunately the two brands, Dr. Bob and OraNurse, are from the US and the UK respectively, and hard to find here if I don't wanna use the Bald Devil website.

I want to take a genuine shot at answering this question, why do people resist wearing masks so much, when it seems so easy and so beneficial?

My thoughts. . .
Why is this so hard for people to acknowledge? Why can we make sure that people have hand warmers and donuts and secret signal networks but be unyieldingly against simple protections from illness?

I propose to make universal the old policy of the Blackfriars conference at the American Shakespeare Center:

If you do not end your paper on time, you will be forced to exit, pursued by a bear. Literally, a bear will come take your paper from you.

We could have a technicolour parking garage but nooooo, lets have more cars instead
Beneath Berlin's Potsdamer Platz, an overlooked retail strip has been reborn as a bicycle parking facility and public passage connecting users to the S-Bahn station. Modest in scale but rich in possibilities, it integrates seamlessly into the revitalised entertainment, commercial and office centre.🧵

BEGGING people to become more church-history literate.

Also like people having wildly different beliefs within Christianity is the reason we have so many denominations?? I don't understand how people can see Catholicism and Pentecostals and think we have uniform beliefs beyond the creeds?
This is your regular reminder that the idea that Christianity is a thing uniform beliefs that everyone within “Western Civilization” believed and agreed on is a fiction that just ignores centuries of Christians killing each other and fighting literal wars over their different beliefs.
The Rubio speech really is appalling, and if you haven’t read it yet, you should.

This is for people who need honesty:

Do you want to help but don't know how? Have you not volunteered since community service was required in high school but want to? Do you desperately want to do something but the idea of giving up your only free time is a big hurdle?

I got you.

Knowing that rural communities tend to be more conservative, I’m surprised and humbled by the responses from Tumbler Ridge residents.

There is so much grace, and no one has publicly blamed anything but mental health and lack of resources.

While I don't have ME, my endometriosis currently has me going into an inflammation spiral if I do anything that aggravates my core muscles too much, and I can tell you that generally we are already trying to do as much as we possibly can because daytime lying and bed rest are fucking boring.
Statements like below in this pre-print lead straight back to graded exercise bc few providers understand their pts level of function or trust when pts say they can’t exert more than they are. Which leads providers to feel their pts are difficult or non-compliant, further eroding care.

Hey fellow MCAS peeps, does iron deficiency give us any symptoms that are different to the usual iron deficiency symptoms in non-chronically ill people? (Y'know, the symptoms in all the listicles on iron deficiency.)
