Bro same! 🫠 It's some entertainment and a welcomed distraction from real world issues

Releasing a 1000 page google docky at ungodly hours is certainly a choice. Giving every drama channel in the ENvtubing sphere a feast lmao #Sinder

Miyazaki survived the bombing of Utsunomiya as a child. His family escaped in a car, but left a neighbor and her daughter behind to save themselves. Miyazaki regrets this, and said this has stayed with him and shaped his film making. He hopes his audience will learn the courage he lacked in 1945.

As much as I love a well written tragic villain, I do miss the cartoonishly evil irredeemable villains getting their just deserved.

Burn it Down is one of the most impactful stories I've read this decade. Highly recommend checking it out.
Rigsby WI in general captures the feeling of being a teen in small town America during the 2000s more than anything I've ever read.

"Bluesky is boring."

Social media *should* be boring. Being algorithm and dopamine poisoned is bad, actually.

When your feed dries up for the day, that's your cue to go do something else until new stuff shows up later.

...stupid fangirl bullshit hours re: the end of ep 5 #monkeywrench

fanart from the indie series Monkey Wrench, in which Beebs has given Shrike his shirt because his police uniform has been confiscated. Unfortunately he gets it back by the end of the episode, but, the concept....
Shrike, a thin, short alien wears a black shirt far too big for him, gesturing to himself, "what, do you just have like a hundred of the same fucking clothes?" Beebs, his much larger colleague with a beard and cyborg parts, yells back "No, shrike, I have like two, and that's one of them. you're welcome." and shrike is distraught "you realize how that's worse??", Beebs throws his hands up in frustration, "sorry for giving you the LITERAL shirt off my back"

I think people who start social media platforms think they're going to get their cult of personality they rightfully deserve and then get upset when it's actually a social media platform

Jerodie is being so real here. Not once has he said he wasn't attracted/into Beth romantically. He just knows now is not a good time and he doesn't have the relationship bandwith Beth needs. Given his detailed reasoning he is 100% valid for focusing on completing school.
