🚨IT'S THAT TIME🚨

Here's my video essay about my Game of the Year in 2025: Baby Steps. 👶🦶 (Link in comments)

If you think that's insane, you haven't played this rage game masterpiece about grief, depression, societal pressure, and donkey dicks. 🫏

Public comment on Dr Oz's proposed rules to ban gender-affirming care for youth closes 2/17

One rule bans hospital-based care, the other eliminates Medicaid/CHIP coverage

Together they'd make care virtually unavailable nationwide, including in shield law states

If you can't insult someone without being fatphobic or abelist youre boring, actively not using your own intelligence, and almost immediatly lose any ounce of respect or trust I have for you.
Body shaming and ableism are not and will never be woke, and this is the problem with not understanding the difference between how Black folks talk to each other and how the right co-opted a term for their own purposes.

Reminded randomly of a time when a professor told me he couldnt give me feedback because he was too focused the grammatical errors in my ROUGH DRAFT. It has me ?ing what if anything I should show him. And it makes me ruminate on the more subtle abelsit nonsense of the academe.

There’s a petition to Mamdani calling for clean indoor air in schools. Sign and contact the mayor’s office!

It’s more focused on reducing pollution and using green energy but it also includes mention of reducing airborne illnesses. A win for everyone.

Opened my diss proposal today for the first time in 6 years. My proposal defense caused so much anxiety that even 6 years later I'm going to have step out for a smoke. But, honestly, reading it back, it was fine work and hazing in academia is bullshit.

When I'm editing my brain gets board so quickly. Even when I love the work (which I do right now) my brain just can't keep concentrated on the document for too long.

Watching the Jekyll and Hyde 2015 TV show... dont know yall, first 10 mins arent gripping me. Not that Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was ever a great representation of multiplicity to begin with... I'll try to make a thread about it.

The Circle are legends of the Fairelands. However, they are tired, they are scarred.

Now a missing member has found “relief”: a ritual of eternal bliss that heals trauma by erasing memory, will, and self.

The Circle is invited to witness this discovery for themselves.
