Maybe *I'm* the weird one, but I actually would prefer someone to artisinally craft a game for me rather than "prompt" my own. I just do not see the appeal. I do not want to Ikea furniture my limited half-formed game idea for me to play. That would be in no way satisfying or fun.

Sissel used to do that! I would sleep with my arms shoved under my pillow so she couldn't reach them, becauss she used to wake me up by dragging her cold wet nose up my bare arm. I dunno why she switched over, but I am just thankful 😭

Sissel is my gremlin baby of a cat but loves me so much. 😭 She follows me closely, immediately starts purring when I pick her up and wakes me up by snuggling into my side so intensely, it's like she's trying to fuse herself to me.

I say this as someone who doesn't follow football but did fantasy football for a few years for my sister who wanted to involve me. They can't take a few minutes of their time for their friends to pick players and swap them out? I picked mine based on vibes & probably had more fun than this dude.

This seems like exactly the AI brain. They don't want to spend time doing it, but they want to "WIN." They don't respect it but they must be insufferable to their friends who want to spend time doing it and gloat about what AI did like the result had anything to do with them.

The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

Ah I meant a hard max limit of what I will spend. Nothing over 100, which takes out quite a lot of pens, but it is still just a pen afterall and I don't know if I know enough to really care or feel jmprovements after a certain threshold.

I have tried not to go overboard but have failed. That said, I'm trying to make really purposeful purchases, different size nibs, different brands, different filling mechanisms and a high limit of spend to figure what I like. Here is my collection so far!
7 pens sitting on a page in a graph-lined notebook. The name of the pen and the ink they're filled with are written on the page above the pen. They are
Pink Pilot F Kakuno with a pink cartridge
Blue pilot M Kakuno with a brown cartridge
Black with a red clip Lamy Joy with a 1.5mm nib filled with blue Endless Alchemy Stardust Shimmer
A dark maroon with champagne cap Jinhao 59 Fine nib filled with Lamy Dark Lilac
A white pen with cherry blossoms TWSBI Eco F with Colorverse Horsehead Nebula
A Brown with bronze accents TWSBI Eco M filled with Dominant Industry Winter Wood
A Pink/purple swirled pen with gold accents Wearingeul in M nib filled with Teranishi Fujiyama Irodori Sakura Pink

I understand that paywalls are annoying, but the grim reality for everything right now, is if you want something to exist, you have to put money towards it. Every creative person is having their life's work hoovered up by AI companies. Layoffs never end. Private equity keeps making things worse.

If you have cats and have never joined them in an afternoon nap, you are missing out. If I had a choice, I would do these regularly, it makes them so happy like I have taken an interest in their hobbies.

Ever since I got into fountain pens and inks, I keep on having that very distinct ink stain on my middle finger where the pen rests. It's mostly because of the dip pens, I still haven't gotten a hang of how far to dip them in and often get it on the grip.

Saw some beautiful Japanese flower arrangements today.
Two flower arrangements, the flowers are sparse but arranged very intentionally. I don't know enough about flowers to describe them accurately but the one on the left is arranged in an upward configuration and looks like it's steadilu blooming. The one on the right is in a vase small at the bottom and flaring out wide on the top and the flowers are arranged like that as well, gathered at the bottom with branches widening out at the topA small elegant flower arangement. A small circular orange flower is near the bottom with two larger round clusters of flowers aboveA flower in a small short vase. Two yellow flowers bordered by green and red leaves. One large branch reaches up to the sky on the left side

These people cannot be trusted to vote in their best interests. Ever. They have failed at the most simple task and have driven this country to ruin. They are too stupid to be allowed to have a say in the future of the country. Convince a non-voter to vote. There are LOTS of those.

Has enough time passed yet for me to safely confess I always thought Elementary was the better Sherlock adaption of its time? They had the newer take on Watson, Adler and Moriarty and treated mysteries like mysteries to be solved and not just stages for Sherlock to just be mean and clever?

The image is of a four panel comic. The title reads "Poltergeist".
In the first panel we see a woman with a worried expression on her face. She says, "stuff keeps moving around my house."
In the second panel the same woman says "I'm terrified. I can't sleep."
In the third panel we see a ghost holding a candle and a pillow that reads "live laugh love". The ghost is zooming through the house.
In the fourth panel we see the same ghost hanging up a frame and thinking, "home decor is my passion".

It's fucked up AI companies are telling people how dangerous and powerful their product is and how they have to be held back for the sake of humanity and also seem to be rolling out a bunch of cute mascots to try to appeal people to use AI. It's still all bullcrap but makes me hate them even more.

Morgana was loafing in the middle of the hallway and I was like, huh, a little unusual. And then I noticed one of the boob pad inserts from my workout bras had fallen out there and she had claimed it and it made way more sense.

Rereading Emma and there's this passage where Knightley is like "Prejudiced? I'm not prejudiced. He is a person I never think of from one month's end to another" in the most "I'm not mad. Please don't put in the newspaper I got mad" energy and it's very funny.

ROFL there is a kid loudly and tunelessly singing the Moana song in my apartment's courtyard and if you have a window facing it and it's open, noise made there amplifies and funnels it so it sounds like the person is just outside of your window. I like to think she knows and is serenading all of us.

I Don't Sleep Well (Title)
I Don't Sleep Well. The title is rendered in biological looking script. The action takes place in the cross section of an apartment, where the characters are in front of a large window  with the angle such that we are looking down on to the street. Insect arms reach out to a woman, whose silhouette is replicated behind her. The moon shines down.

This is how Sissel greeted me when I came home after a quick run. No one has suffered like this cat has suffered. ...I wasn't even gone that long.
Cat laying on her back on the floor in an entryway. Her body is mostly on top of a striped runner rug and a fluffy cat toy sits near by. Cat has her paws in the air and the picture catches her mid-motion, mouth open, one paw to her face like she is a most aggrieved victorian lady

There is a trending pattern on Ravelry right now called simply "The Garment." The text for it reads "Let the Garment envelop you; experience its heft and splendor." It is essentially a turtle-necked floor-length poncho with tassels at the bottom. It is the designers only pattern.
Picture from the pattern page as an example of the glorious garment you can knit. It is a man standing on a bridge back towards us, looking out over the wayer towards the far away city. He is dressed in THE GARMENT, a floor-length turtle-necked poncho in all white. It is draped majestically on him. It envelopes him. He looks comfy.

You should just be able to find your little niche in the world & stay there comfortably if it’s what makes you happy. That’s literally all being human is about. Just hanging out and doing something helpful. We made up all this other shit and it’s making everyone miserable, bc there’s no finish line.

The peace Conan describes here is what I find so psychotic about Capitalism: The unnatural systemic need for more, growth, bigger, up, is constantly making people feel - mentally and financially - like where they’re at is not what success looks like, even if it’s exactly what makes them happy.
