Noticing a fair amount of of therapy-speak-esque "I'm setting a boundary which means I consider it undue emotional labor to treat you with the slightest baseline politeness, I don't owe you anything" from the same people who lament lack of third spaces and death of community

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

this is the third year in a row we've gone to the oregon coast and eaten seafood for thanksgiving. It's the off season so rooms are comparatively cheap. Sometimes relatives join us sometimes it's just us. The beach town has a little christmas parade on black friday that my kid enjoys (and I do too)
Actually in the spirit of this conversation, what’s a decision you made about a past Thanksgiving holiday that really paid off? I think people often feel trapped by their lives. Sharing our experiences can liberate us from that sense of claustrophobia.
On the most recent episode of VIBE CHECK, we answer listener questions about Thanksgiving, most importantly “do you go celebrate with the family members you don’t even like?”

I would love to see the location data of all the twitter accounts from last year that posted exclusively about how Harris was single handedly responsible for genocide and mysteriously had no posts at all from before october 2023 despite the accounts themselves being older (probably hacked)

honestly I'm sick to death of everything cool from space exploration to strength training to norse mythology being ceded to the worst people without a fight. By declaring someone decent can't be into those things, you're not ensuring they won't exist, they'll just exist in the worst possible form

The real ideological difference here is that Zohran Mamdani and Kshama Sawant represent two different factions of leftism- serious and not serious

There was some drama Facebook thread where a guy was 20 years old and divorced and his sister was trying to tell him he was washed up and no one would want a divorced guy, and my immediate thought was like “oh no I hope this guy is getting plenty of therapy after being forced to be a child groom”

the magic system of real life is so crazy there's this mystical substance called "electrons" and the people who control them are called "physicists" and they draw out all kinds of arcane symbols called "mathematical formulae" to do stuff like make glowy lights and fireballs and bring rocks to life

Begging people to understand that the sales indie authors are losing from the amazon boycott usually aren't paperbacks. "But instead of downloading your $3.99 ebook people can go to their local bookstore and request they order it for $19.99 to arrive in three weeks!" Sure. But they typically won't.

Udemy has an absolute dogshit new UI that got rid of almost every functionality and replaced the Q&A section with a fucking useless AI, but for the course I was doing the Q&A section is where we submit our homework and now I can't even look at what other students did or what questions they had

I don't trust this at all and suspect it's just more of the war on disability and an attempt to deflect the horrors of forced pregnancy, but this isn't even something I'd wished I had. It's honestly way easier to get into the store at 9 months pregnant than anytime in the ensuing years.
Conservatives want to allow pregnant women to park in disabled spaces
Republican lawmakers are supporting measures that would allow pregnant women to use accessible parking spaces, drawing opposition from disability rights advocates.
