A lovely friend gave me money to buy the Dragonlance book and I had enough left over to get a I AM YELLING, CARL Donut sticker! 😭💖💖💖💖

The caring of people is amazing. The love. I'm overwhelmed.

It's just so hard to justify buying fun things right now. And they've started selling autumn mooncakes!

I can't believe there's going to be a schism in the Catholic church and I'm going to side with the Catholic church

So I’ve started Pride and Prejudice, and already I feel bad for Mrs Bennet.

manifesting clusters, i believe in reskeets as a form of folk magic
The thing about being ruled by a gerontocracy is that cohort mortality is a probability density, meaning all these fuckers start dying around the same time -- in clusters.

The same Weibull Distribution "bathtub curve" explains why batches of light bulbs and hard drives all die in the same month.

Don’t let his melting expression deceive you. Axel is still getting lots of love and attention and he is still our Best Boy.

(Sadie, loafing in the back, doesn’t like cameras, and is not a fan of the cat smell, but is business as usual.)

You won’t regret being kind.

Even if no one notices.

Even if it’s hard.

You’ll still know you did the right thing.

I've been thinking a lot about bravery lately, and how our culture, especially Western culture, has co-opted it being immense, sweeping, self-sacrificing, when indeed, at its most powerful it's the smallest moments.

Which is the point, right? Convince people small things don't matter.

Freddie Mercury didn't go into the studio and nail the vocals for "The Show Must Go On" in one take while dying of AIDS for you to despair and give up now. Take the time you need, but then get up and get back out there.

The show must go on.

BlueSky is trying to monetize so let's show them some numbers:

Reskeet this if you refuse to pay for BlueSky+ until trust & safety decides to prioritize marginalized users.

That's $96 / year of lost revenue for each reskeet...
