Unwanted DMs get you blocked. So does hatred and people who double down unapologetically on unwarrented rudeness. And just general assholery. I don't got time for that.

I've started a new game in a farm sim I've previously enjoyed and have been spending a bit too much time in it the past week. And then an update dropped yesterday. And after updating today... OH Noooo, the dreaded minor UI change!!!

If you're not, listen to this.
Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.
Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.
It's literally never been more important.

In the military the onus is on the person disobeying the order to demonstrate that it was unlawful. This will usually be adjudicated at their non-judicial punishment or court martial. The GI Rights Hotline can help: 1-877-447-4487

To anyone who has experience working with fonts and typefaces, I sincerely apologize for the monstrosity I’m about to show you.
I’m very sorry to announce this to the rest of the country & the world, but a transitional logo has been chosen for the 2034 Salt Lake City Olympics & this is it. Why does it say Utah? We don’t know. Why is the font illegible? Yet another mystery. Did they go ugly on purpose? Again, no idea.

I love this line: if we restored the famous tower of Pisa to a fully upright position, "then it wouldn't be itself."
It's simple and true and beautiful. We love it because it leans. It wouldn't be its own special self if it didn't.

Now we have the capacity today to have restored it to a completely upright position, as it was built! But then it wouldn’t be itself. So they stabilised it to a lean of 3.97 degrees instead.

There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

Okay. General question: Anyone who's brain I can pick about Cataplexy? (Medical condition associated with narcolepsy.) I hadn't heard of it before yesterday. And now I have. So many questions.

The biggest discord server I'm active in has three emoji's, clearly a set: "EAT pls", "Take Your Meds", and "Hydrate or Die Straight". To encourage people to go to bed we have am emoji of a character with a cartoon mallet. I'm fairly sure it's named :BONK:
When life feels heavy and especially emotionally fraught, I keep rediscovering the immense healing power of:
✨ eat some food
✨ drink some water
✨ get some sleep

I really can't stress how important it is for progressive and leftists to contend for school, library, water, etc etc boards. Hyper local involvement in our communities where we can actually influence lives.
Following the recent election, leadership will be changing in many districts where conservative values previously dominated school board meetings and community actions.

School boards in PA and NJ are shifting fast—LGBTQ+ leaders are winning, conservatives are losing, and policy battles are heating up.
