Like if I had to guess I'd say something was blocking the valve. Either valve: the one that lets the water into the radiator or the one that bleeds the air out. But I can't move the inlet valve at all and the tendons in my hand are already fuckt sooooo cold ass 59° degree ass rooms are fine

In my limited experience, usually adding a little more water into the boiler raises the pressure, and then a recalcitrant radiator can be bled sufficiently to draw water back in. But I'm stumped how the other one upstairs is fine. I'm stumped how not even air bleeds out of the cold one

So if it's not the valve, not the pressure, and nothing (not even a hiss of air) comes out of the bleed valve, what the fuck is the problem

I capitulated to freezing temps and turned on the heat. All the radiators except one got toasty. I bled the radiators. I checked the inlet valve is open (it's stuck, but it never was closed and it worked last year so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯) There are 2 radiators upstairs. One works, implying sufficient pressure

OH i saw a cool moth today
Big brown moth blending in with a concrete surface. The moth was three to four inches wide across the wings and two or three inches long in the body. The wings are folded in so it's shaped like some kind of stealth fighter jet. It has blotches of dark brown among its tan base, as if painted by watercolor.

it hurts and i'm lowkey mad that it happened this way. if i'd been digging for a boogie it would just be a cost of doing business. but there was a bug or fuzz or something floating around and all i wanted to do was make it go away

i tried to brush something tickly away from my nose but catastrophically slid off the edge of the chair cushion i was sitting on at the same moment. (the chair has stuff on it and i tried to perch for a moment while i excavated something.) anyway i knifed myself with a thumbnail and it bled. a lot

This is not beautiful to see. This is the most racist democracy on planet earth, and people just expect Black people to sing negro spirituals and "overcome." It's not working. This still happens for one reason and one reason only: white US folk don't hold each other accountable for this racism.

not for nothing, it appears there is vast ignorance on both sides. all the quant guys insisting this is all fine, actually, seem divorced from and callous toward the many, many people being ground into pulp. and me? fuck i don't know what they're smoking is about the nicest thing i can say

like the guy who was claiming $30,000 wouldn't change your life is coming from a point of view i can't comprehend. this is assuming he was sincere and making his claim from this research he mentioned but didn't cite. we are living in wholly different worlds

this is more eloquently put than what i was gonna follow up my last post with. what use is economic study or theory if it doesn't reflect lived experience? (i mean besides the implicit, unacknowledged purpose it serves to reify and justify the flow of wealth upward)

I found “the $30k isn’t life changing thread” and I’m thinking shutting down economics isn’t enough: we need to burn the whole field to the ground, salt the fucking earth, and erect warning placards so that future generations avoid the poisoned ground the field stood on.

this is one of those incredible takes where we collectively lose our minds in various directions. they reply to people with claims that "research indicates windfall money doesn't matter actually" and there's no sources cited. never met a poor, huh lol and fuck the median what about the mode
Post by someone who seems like the type to name search themselves to be smug in as many general directions as possible:

"I don't think $30k is a life-changing amount of money. Median American born in 1980 will have $2m in income in their lifetime. It's a 1%
increase in earnings."

continuing my OC-tober tradition of putting my characters in cosplay ✨ #oc-tober2026 #ironcompany
drawing of Petra, Alastor, and Maddie in cosplay. Petra (in child form) is dressed as Minako Aino from Sailor Moon (specifically her outfit from Episode 90). Alastor is dressed as Gendo Ikari from Evangelion and it's upsettingly appropriate. Maddie is dressed as Fuu Hououji from Magic Knight Rayearth, who would undoubtedly be her favorite character

alt text in the attached image (From quoted post)
A typed-up letter:
Dear beautiful women,
I've started this letter like ten times and deleted it every time because very time I start I cry. So I'm just going to write it.
Your flag matters to me. It matters so much that it's flying at a lesbian household where anyone walking by can see it.
I'm a trans girl so I'm not sure you can relate but I'll try. Most days I'm doing math in my head like which hallway is safer, who I can sit near at lunch whether it's worth saying something or just letting it go. I'm so tired. I don't think people who don't have to do it know how tired it makes you.
I walk past your house almost daily. The first time I saw the flag I slowed down without meaning to. It was just hanging there like it was no big deal but to me it was everything. It felt like the people inside would see me as who I actually am and I wouldn't have to explain or prove anything. My shoulders dropped for the first time all day and I almost cried right there in front of your home.
I know that living here isn't easy for gay people like you where not everyone is kind about it so putting that flag up means risking stares, comments or worse. You did it anyway, and that is the bravest thing I've seen anyone do. Every day it stays up it tells people like me that someone is willing to be brave so we don't have to be alone. Now I look for it. Some days it's the one thing that makes me feel like I'm not imagining that I deserve to be here. When so much of the world feels like it's deciding whether there's room for me your flag says there is. Please keep it up. You might not know it but it's helping me get through the day.
Thank you for your courage, and for leaving the porch light on for the rest of us.

one time my girlfriend was waiting for a bus in Pittsburgh and looking at a martial arts advertisement and a guy in a public works truck rolled down his window and told her “don’t go to that dojo, I challenged the master and he was weak as fuck”

Trump voters failed one of the easiest moral tests of their lifetimes.
A yellow rectangular sticker is placed on an orange and white striped construction barrel. The sticker features bold, black text that reads, "TRUMP VOTERS FAILED ONE OF THE EASIEST MORAL TESTS OF THEIR LIFETIMES." White graffiti lines and other partially visible stickers surround it on the scuffed plastic surface.

hey advertisers, data miners and aggregators, marketers, streaming platforms, tech giants: what if, instead of you scraping every byte of data about me in order to throw ads at me that you think i'll care about, what if you just give me a stipend to spend. it'd be a lot more direct and effective

you'll notice that this plan politely goes along with the line that all the data mining is about ad placement, and not, for wild example, about predictive policing or that perennial catch-all chestnut, "terrorism". we love a bulkhead that provides neat cover and disguises other purposes, don't we

Stop. Stop using a.i. slop with your political messages. Just fucking stop. It will carry just as much weight, more so, without it. Because it's enraging and annoying af at this point seeing it. It just screams your message and intentions is bullshit when you attach it to that crap.
