Trans women are women, trans men are men, nonbinary ppl are nonbinary, gender is a spectrum, the patriarchy hurts everyone, and I like stating the obvious. Good day.

Age verification? I GREW UP WITHOUT COMPUTER GAMES WHATSOEVER. My NERDIEST classmate in primary school HAD NO COMPUTER GAMES.
Age verification? I saved my allowance for months and finally was able to buy a black and white 13” TV from K-Mart for $18 so I could play Pitfall in my bedroom.
Age verification? My first anime was "Space Cruiser Yamato"

Well, it turns out that against all odds, I do, in fact, VERY GOT THIS. My brain is perfectly hopeless and impossibly awesome at the same time.
I know I have to do an insane amount of work in absolutely minimal time right now SOLELY because I fucked up and procrastinated and everything BUT I still would like to be showered with praise for this superhuman feat of scrambling-to-pretend-I-got-this-even-though-I-extremely-don't-got-this. Ta.

There is something just so deeply, viscerally satisfying about hearing a camp British voice full of fundamental enjoyment say "I currently have a githyanki attached to my arse". #ILoveDungeonsAndDragons

I don't want to see Sean Penn in The Gunman, but I would totally go see Sean Gunn in The Penman if that one were real.

Thinking of all the things I'm not good at but some of my friends are, and I think one of my Spring Resolutions ought to be "make pancakes for my awesome friends more often".

Making art is SUCH a dice roll, and I do understand people being scared of it and wanting some kind of failsafe built in, but: no. No, making art has always been a dice roll, and that's why so very many people who want to do it (almost) never do. It doesn't always feel good! It doesn't always pay!

Dear Aunt Agony, I'm a 41-year-old woman and today I cried over an anime episode because I could not with how cute and sad it was and I forgot the word for when a thing is so cute it's sad and vice versa at the same time and maybe that word doesn't exist yet but I think it should

Hating down is such a waste of everyone's time and energy. It's based on laziness and selfishness as well as fear. If you're white, straight and well to do, you're safe from "the minorities". They aren't after you, they can't harm you. Your enemies are the ones telling you to hate "the minorities".

Everyone who's ever been to Eindhoven: saw Theo Maassen on the street/on a terrace, knew better than to approach him
Please quote this with the time you didn’t interact with someone famous - eg one time I was in Cardiff the same weekend as Willem Dafoe (but I didn’t see him or even know he was there until he appeared on the telly later)
Please quote this with your major interactions with massive celebrities. eg “I was married to the pope for fifteen years”

🧵The thing about ADHD medication, for me, is this: looking back, in my early twenties (going to Uni, hanging out at the student society most of the time) I was well on my way to developing a legit drinking problem. I LOVED alcohol in most of its forms. I was diagnosed with ADHD at 28. 1/

"How are you so cold?"
"Well I was sitting in my living room in a t-shirt thinking of getting up off the couch, putting a sweater on, turning up the heating, taking my meds, having a cup of tea. I was sitting there thinking of doing these things SO HARD, you know. For three hours? Whatever is time?"

Seeing In the Heights with @lawant.bsky.social and turning to each other with the HUGEST smile of Igotthatreference-euphoria when the wait music on Mr Rosario's phone call was "You'll Be Back" from Hamilton. EPIC shared-culture moment.
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

My fiancee came up to me an hour or so ago, phone in hand, and said "You know, maybe people like us shouldn't have one of these" and I've just been sitting here thinking about that as I mindlessly scroll advice column and webcomic archives while waiting for my brain to allow me to do what I *want*.
