Donated blood with my partner yesterday. Is it weird that it really irritates me when his donation goes faster than mine? I want to win at bleeding fast.

The best thing about a reverse chronological timeline is that you get to piece together what everyone is mad about from 10th degree comments-about-comments, and if you can guess before you scroll down far enough to see the original post, you win a prize

Swan Boy is the modern Achewood. If you don't know what that means, it's basically the highest compliment that can be paid to a webcomic. Chaotic, crass, but with plenty of heart, its hard to describe. The only way to understand is to read Start of one of my fave arcs: swanboy.com/comic/injure...

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

🦀 see a crab, post a crab 🦀
A small crab (less than three inches long) with legs striped bright orange and dark brown peeks its bright orange head out from a buff-colored shell generously speckled with dark maroon algae. It is resting on a roughly textured rock in colors very similar to those of the crab's shell.

Anyone need a spooky nature story for Halloween? It all happened this summer… I was on the beach at midnight. It wasn’t actually raining but with so much heavy mist in the air it might as well have been. And it was dark as could be by the bay. I was just out for a walk before bed. (1/?) 🌿 🦑

Made a thing. It does have a specific function, but I'd bet cash money nobody would be able to guess what that function is.
Crocheted item, on a plaid couch cushion, with a size G crochet hook laid in front to give an idea of scale. (Crocheted thing fits into an 11" x 7" rectangle with plenty of room left over.) A small tube - open at both ends, with one end curved inward to a smaller opening - is connected by a narrow strap to a larger, basket-shaped piece, all in a variegated pastel acrylic yarn.

The room's off-white, vertically striped wallpaper, the chest, and the corner of a framed piece on one of the walls are all spattered and smeared with a red the color of fresh blood.
