I ain't gay but I'm not exactly not gay
My work supplies me with three (3) monitors but also is overwhelmed with my work speed! I've been given too much power

Has anyone told you designing hats is fun? It really is when you have a good plan going into it. For example, @1000deaddraculas.bsky.social designed this beautiful hat, it has really nice simple design and placements and a great accessory for dozens of fits.

It took me too long to learn this

Sharing so more people can, because as noted, once it's pointed out it's obvious, right?

Folks:
1) it's ok if you didn't know this, they don't want you to know this
2) it's ok if you're disabled or for any reason find these necessary in easing your life, those who can eliminate them should and those who can't should be gentle on themselves
3) the real villains here are manufactures 🧪
All the stuff that holds these things together and dissolves once it hits water is PLASTIC. These things are just pouring microplastics into our waterways. This is actually really forward thinking. Hidden behind so many modern conveniences is waste and pollution. 🤪 🧪
New York City lawmakers move to ban Tide Pods, laundry sheets
New York City could ban Tide Pods and other detergent products, arguing they result in microplastics polluting the city's water supply.

The library being "the last real third space" isn't a reason to keep adding new responsibilities to the library; it is a reason to create more third spaces.

I saw a take that was like "bluesky needs an algorithm, I don't want to see 100 posts like 'i made coconut curry today'" and I cannot disagree more. I log on to humanity's World Wide Web to see human thoughts. I do not need a god damned robot to tell me which thoughts it thinks are the most human

In case you didn’t get the message: AI art is lazy, it’s theft, and it’s an insult to working artists. Retweet it and I’m unfollowing you. Promote it in a group chat and I’m leaving. This is my livelihood. You can’t claim to be a fan of my art and then try to replace me.

I am autistic, aphantasic and have SDAM (severely deficient autobiographical memory disorder). I would love to see more cont NT about these. Especially SDAM!

This is partly why I get unreasonably annoyed at the memification of the aphantasia thing because it’s a tiny sliver of an evolving area of study, and people have popularly calcified it into what’s essentially a horoscope

Surprisingly little pink, which is weird for me.. but I hardly managed to do 4 (personal) illos this year, so it wasn't hard picking. The last one is a teaser to something I am super proud of, but hasn't been released yet.. 👀
