oh also, im an adoptee so I talk about identity and othering and racism here. and I'm very vocal about evidence based parenting and have zero tolerance for lactivists and anti vaxers.
guess it's time for another introduction? hi, I'm Octo (the name comes from rodents, not from octopodes but nobody cares and I of ran with that), I write for a living, I have kids, I like geeky stuff, especially games, I write in German and English and like to deep dive into weirdly specific topics
Witz zur Mittagspause: Bin laut Clearsky auf einer Pro-Israel-Blockliste gelandet.
Es klingt komisch, aber: Man kann Gaza-Scammer kritisieren, gegen Antisemitismus sein UND Israels Politik menschenverachtend finden, alles zusammen, das geht!

a certain subset of the internet needs regular reminders of why centuries of engineering knowledge > one highly confident dude going "trust me, bro" and my only prayer each time is that there are no casualties except the highly confident dude's wallet
Right now on reddit there's a guy inventing a new kind of brick to build his home with and it's going about as well as you can imagine

Kann sich jemand erbarmen und mit Hanno Sauer in irgendeine Berliner Bar gehen (oder ihm TikTok installieren) und ihn mit der Wirklichkeit vertraut machen? (Quelle: SZ).

Die @bpb.de hat ihren Account auf X geschlossen. Dafür werden sie dort extrem beschimpft, was natürlich auch ein Zeichen dafür ist, wie wichtig die Präsenz staatlicher Institutionen, Orgas etc. für das Image von X ist. Den Abgang aus dem Höllenpfuhl kann man hier mit nem Folllow würdigen.

LOL ich wurde grad von nem Jule-Fan geblockt. Kaum zu glauben, dass es die im Jahre 2025 ernsthaft noch gibt.

Aber es steht weiterhin allen frei, einen alten Mann, der jahrelang in diversen Foren Fetisch-Fanfiction über minderjährige Mädchen im Rollstuhl geschrieben hat, in Schutz zu nehmen.

I've been "enjoying" scintillating scotomas more often recently. They're difficult to describe, and images online don't really capture it. But the first thing I thought when I saw them was "I should make a shader of this" – so here's a demo, it's pretty close: meetar.github.io/scotoma/

Auch in Deutschland gibt es diese Tendenz, das Glorifizieren von Alleingeburten, das Beschämen von Müttern, die medizinische Interventionen in Anspruch nehmen. Meine eigene Hebamme hat mich für meinen Kaiserschnitt bedauern. (Ja, es gibt auch Gewalt an Müttern im Kreissaal,darum geht es hier nicht).

Überrascht, nicht schockiert. Jeder Mann, der in der Position war, dass er von sehr vielen Menschen verehrt wurde, hat das Potential das ausnutzen. Im soliden Wissen, dass es keine Konsequenzen haben wird. Depp, Gaiman, Lindemann, die Liste ist unendlich.

Neben der Sendung mit der Maus weckt kaum ein anderes Bild so schnell Kindheitserinnerungen wie dieses.

still in full bleed from my last LARP on Friday so this will be all about Pim from the #cursebreakercon
Pim has naturally black hair with purple dyed strands
(And if she has grey roots or not is her secret.)
Does your OC dye their hair? If yes, what's their natural hair color? Do they ever show it?

Everyone yells about parents letting their kids watch iPads at restaurants but then also yells when parents purposely pick a place where it’s appropriate for kids to play in outdoor space and lets them play.
