“let people enjoy things” it’s gross to enjoy books about nazi wizards written by an evil billionaire who spends the money she makes trying to murder queer people.

since AEW is on HBO that makes sense. none of my friend group are terribly active on socials, so it makes sense that we would have missed a cross promo if it happens again we'll definitely join in letting them know this is not wanted.

I can't figure out what AEW stands for here. can you please tell me? I can only think of All Elite Wrestling, and I have friends who are massive fans who would have told me if they caught a HP reference there because we'd have all been upset

I don’t care where you started out on the political spectrum If your kid comes out as trans & you don’t become a rainbow-clad, parade-cheering ally & rock-solid supportive girl/boy/enby dad/mom? You were never a parent at all You were a doll collector furious they didn’t stay in their packaging.

no one is morally grandstanding. that's love you are seeing. people are full of love for trans people and rage at those who would hurt us. real love, not love for some franchise

Whenever I read about men using AI to draft love notes for their wives, I feel a seething fury. That is something you could easily have done yourself, and it would have been a million times more meaningful. Technology is training us to be dependent and soulless.

Make stuff. Do your hobbies. Geek out with your weird friends. Practice arts and crafts. Every society that ever burned to the ground left behind only the handicrafts, and every society saved from the brink was saved only by arts. Do not give up the joy of creating.

It's great to see tailoring accommodate such extreme movement today. This level of tailoring was a bit more common in the past, as you can see in old films featuring Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly, but many modern suits will lift off the wearer's neck even when they're just walking.

i believe that you can, but it does not require a tighter grip, it requires a looser one. it is the about having the courage to receive something absurd, or embarrassing, or strange, and to refuse to change the channel. THAT is the power that you wield as an artist and it can bend entire universes

unless you, personally, are reading every line of every book alongside your children and using them as a Teaching Moment about bigotry while also banning the purchase or consumption of all subsequent media, it is simply not realistic to think a child will understand death of the author in this way

I gather nobody really has a computer class any more, but as an elder Millennial I was specifically taught to start a new email or change the subject line, like "unavailable tonight" or w/e. am I out of touch or is this a little weird to anyone else?

I've had multiple people reply to me separately, using a group email regarding an extracurricular ex my email was like "welcome to the group" for the first time we were meeting up, and now multiple weeks later their emails are like "I can't make it in this week" but sent as a reply to the welcome

Melissa @pretzel365.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

is it a thing now that people just reply to a previous email rather than starting a new email (even if the topic is completely different, and they don't change the subject)? not a complaint per se but an "is there new internet etiquette leaving me behind?" thought

one great thing about books like those is that they're not rare, so the world doesn't lose anything with a singular destruction. the book is still available in general, regardless of what you do with your copy, so you don't need to feel any distress over it. I hope this helps you feel free!

Melissa @pretzel365.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

would the art and the act of creating it bring you more joy than re-reading the books? could you do a final re-read and then destroy them for the art? could you find another copy of any of the books easily and cheaply enough to be worth getting a duplicate and art-ing with that one?
