Not inspired to create in an environment where my work will be scraped instead of appreciated and not able to afford to create in the environment where a robot already has all the creative jobs that I am trained to do right. Where I'm judged against masters and the robot only has to do "good enough"
so in my job I update the company website. I needed to update the banner ad. We don't need a banner ad, but boss says they want a banner ad. I update and go to click off the widget, it fills my screen with a pop up advertising that upgrading to pro lets me also use a pop up on close

Ahhhk, we're loosing the old ways! I used to be able to surf reddit for a website to help me preserve videos, and sure the website always got closed down after like a year, but that's what reddit is for damn it!

Seeing It's a Wonderful Life for the first time, I don't get how people said for years it was hokey garbage. It's got great stage direction, clear visual language, good story construction. A little whimsical, but grounded with real language about serious topics. Not mind blowing, but solid, good

does anyone remember that video mash up the teacher had everyone watch during the 9/11 segment of their middle school education that clipped together a bunch of news broadcasts into a like found poem based in the vibes of the clips used? it was like 10-20 min long, used to be on youtube?

Had to pause Fallout 4 and sigh. My first time joining the Brotherhood, and I'm doing it as Nora. This dipshit Rhys says Nora the LAWYER wouldn't understand "Ad Victorium" and there's NO clap back to be like "bitch I had a formal education, where'd you get your law degree?"

This is the aftermath in one area

Getting unable to handle anymore expectation to drag myself out of bed with a perfect performance of exuberant joy or else get the "Just because you're in a mood" lecture again. There was no mood before "what? are you in a mood again?" accusation started. Next time I'm just gonna start swinging

How do I convince Hassan Piker to interview Ramsey Robinson without either of them knowing I exist?

have you truly lived until someone comments on your tumblr post that you disliking their favorite singer made them so blindingly angry so quickly that it made them throw up?

The one thing that always trips me up about neurotypical communication is they ask questions by introducing the topic and then stopping. When they answer a question, they answer what they assume the followup question will be instead. And god forbid you attempt to clarify in either case

was going through a fallout 4 tiktok page (they guy does a lot on mods), and I stumbled on his fan edit explaining how Nate is the saddest fallout mc and I was like find you like fallout 4 makes sense. then in the comments he's saying Nate's story is even sadder than Nora. bc she's not the mc

as a political body, we need to seriously consider organizing to infiltrate federal organizations like ICE in order to cripple their devotion to this administration

Everyone talks about the comorbidity of autism and adhd, but no one talks about coping with being an undiagnosed autistic who was raised by an undiagnosed adhd boomer with severe childhood trauma and other unrelated physical disabilities that they relied on you for your whole life to cope with

for people that keep saying "oh put stickers on the cameras" when interacting with surveillance equipment: if you have some paper napkins, paper towels, toilet paper, newspaper if you're willing to beat it up a bit, get it wet, wad it up into a ball, and not only will it stick, it dries into place

just now realized my little pony friendship is magic art style looked so familiar to me when it first came out, because it's the same face shape as the reindeer from the Rankin-Bass Rudolph movie

So on top of not respecting the actual ad break transistions for How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1966), TNT showed it at 1.25x speed. The timing is all off everywhere

hey so, wikipedia is in danger of being sold? I can't be the only one that actually reads the splash box and donates once a year

godDAMN it, everything I have uses firefox and now fucking FIREFOX is shoving an ai sidebar assistant down my throat. This is going to be such a pain in the ass to switch everything over. I had everything set up even to block the youtube scripts for ads and shit

Not me realizing from a TikTok the P!ATD song goes "let's get these teenaged hearts beating faster, faster! so testosterone boys and harlequin girls" instead of "let's get these 2 empty hearts beating faster, faster! so testosterone boys and hard to play girls"

damn it, I got up to do some stuff after finishing The Great Dictator and completely missed the entire first half of Scar of Shame (1927) because I didn't check the guide. I had no idea a black cast, made for a black audience, silent film was on next 😭 maybe I can find it somewhere else

naked and afraid having me wonder if part of the function of a bra is to put breasts away so it's easier to move around, can bras be considered a mobility aid?
