Sometimes I wonder how these teenagers are doing as adults, and how likely MAD they are to watch all of this shit unfold the way that it is

The RIAA was suing teenagers. We had to sit through ⬇️ this shit anytime we wanted to watch a DVD. A whole generation shamed for using Limewire and torrents. Only for these silicone valley assholes to now find copyright infringement a necessary evil they shouldn’t have to answer for

I’ve met some of my closest friends as an adult via Twitter, made international friends because of it, and have secured at least two of my jobs in the games industry because of it. I’ve planned trips with international friends I’ve made via social media, too.

Definitely some good in with the bad!

Woke up with a horrid stomach, but was just treated to the neighbourhood owl having a loud, excited conversation with something it is most likely hunting, so… trade-offs?

Oh great

I know this will make me feel insufferable, but that sounds like a great little cozy vibes video game to stay up late daydreaming about 🫣

Selfishly, if you DO revert to that I’ll know I have an ‘end of the world’ late-night insomnia friend to text 😎

Back in the heyday of Vancouver Twitter (it was a whole scene, there were meet-ups, many of my ‘newly made friends as an adult’ are from that era) we had a hashtag: #604insomnia

I *have* been learning ‘all of the power tools’ with dad, and new cooking things with mom we’d never found time for before

Still, man. I think I can’t do anything under 40 minutes because it’s hard to fall asleep during the day even when tired.

I think I am also best suited to a 12am or 1am bedtime, but society REALLY wants us up earlier than that happily allows, it seems…

That’s a great framing, thank you 🩷

I’m 42 nearing 43 (gulp. Fuck.) I possibly qualify for that

A nine minute nap is an IMPRESSIVE skill, holy shiet

I hate the phrase ‘everything happens for a reason’ because it’s often accidentally or intentionally used to downplay something.

I’m grateful for this extra time I get to spend with my family, & especially helping my parents with stuff around their house.

But man I really want to be back at work…

You guys do have some really gorgeous spots in Cali, though! Because I’m a stereotype, I badly want to see Joshua Tree and Yosemite 😍🩷

I have to confess, though, one of my toxic traits is snort-laughing at anyone in LA that says they’re going ‘hiking’ in LA. I still wish them well but.. 😅💀

I’m too tired to Google it (no one tell me) but I’m gonna save that word in case I remember to google it tomorrow. It would be delightful if I actually did 😂

I love my parents very, very, very much. They each definitely have their own quirks!

Oh shit, I LOVE that his thread kind of started with a nod to Gene Kelly’s tailoring. The man wore some of the BEST pants that a man has ever worn, on screen. That shit fit like a dream, in like every single one of his roles…

Real question: how are y’all taking a nap during the day and still sleeping okay at night?

I live in a one bedroom apartment with no storage locker, the ‘water vehicles’ (😂) live at my parents’ house. Either one would liiiiiikely be a less than ideal living situation for you 🫣

I often wonder about that guy in real life… because, I mean… that’s some real scary face (it’s attractive, but scary)

💜 Cyn ✨ @obicynkenobi.bsky.social · 19h

Yeah, everything ‘pulls’ in a way that makes him look rumpled if he’s doing anything other than standing still

I wonder if Menswear Guy(tm) has done a thread on this?
