Sometimes this helps me not do the ADHD hermit dissociation thing, and I guess it also helps new internet acquaintances get to know me, so:

1 like = 1 thing that makes me happy
Sometimes raiding goes smoothly in a static group and other times you become Cassandra and take bets

My tone/style has gotten really specific over time, especially how I write descriptions. I’m comfy enough with it to just use it universally, which makes me happy. People repeatedly call it sparse (i.e. light on adjectives), snappy, and fairly smooth to read, so I think I’m doing an okay job there!
here's a writery tuesday question

do you have a recognizable style, or do you prefer to change things up from story to story? do you think you have tells that your readers could identify?

it's 2025 social media should add a blur image option that isn't "sensitive", "explicit", "satanic", "you will get ptsd if you open this" but simply SPOILER

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed.

The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

If you only heard about this year’s World Series in passing (in which case you probably mostly just heard how it ended, which is only a part of the saga), I came across this article that breaks down pretty well all the ridiculous shit that happened + a little context: www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/...
Kurkjian: Greatest World Series ever? No question for Dodgers-Blue Jays
Seven epic games, between two formidable teams? The 2025 World Series showed baseball at its best.

In my continuing life’s mission to make every cat love me, I met my friend’s new(ish) cat Chicken Nugget at 5:15pm tonight, and at 5:20pm he was in my lap. By the end of the ball game when I was like “okay I should go home”, he was in a self induced coma tucked up against my hip and dream-kicking me

Dear Blue Jays, I love you now possibly even more than I did in the early 1990s but this shit was possibly more exhausting than the entire 1995-2024 period, next season please get a less stressful bullpen and just lock it down in 5

I know you’re the only Rogers product that functions but aim higher

They should bring the ghost runner back for extra innings but only in Game 7 of the World Series, just to piss everyone off.

What a game of baseball that was (derogatory)

Ready for my spooky evening plans of having the laptop open for baseball updates while I sit around and play AC Odyssey for a while and then switch to watching Fringe (season 1 is extra festive because there’s more gross fx in all the monster of the week episodes)

I swear to god the last time the jays played as well as they did last night, they won a title for it. This game was a tour de force and Yesavage is a hell of a rookie pitcher youtu.be/kx9MVFmH0Cc

Fringe binge thread

I forgot Broyles was cringe in the pilot

It’s a good thing John Noble is also there because we do not deserve him
October 31, 2025 at 12:34 AM
I love many things about Fringe, but one of the ones I forgot is that the pilot episode (titled Pilot, naturally) is about a pilot. It’s that fuck-you attention to details that made this show one of the greats

I think I watched this exact episode of Friends while recovering from anesthesia
AI sitcom accidentally a Lynchian fever dream. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and insane lament.
