I would really love to stop feeling like a failure. I know that the ultimate failure is to stop trying. But I feel like I'm too tired to even try that. And then I get stuck in this spiral of if I'd only tried harder before. I'm exhausted.

I love Diane Duane's original work, I need to read her Star Trek work immediately.

I've been playing Metaphor Re-Fantazio, because what better way to cope with the horrors of the world than by saving a fictional one? This game is so fucked up. In a Grimm's Fairy Tales kind of way. It's horribly awesome. This is also now a Heismay stan account, tysm.

I was burned out on RPDR for awhile, and recently realized I missed it. So I've been catching up with season 14. The absolute robbery I just witnessed. How does someone lip syncing to the background singers win the episode??? Over KERRI??? Nooooooo ma'am.

Black and white image of Iranian author Marjane Satrapi, smoking a cigarette. "The world is not divided between east and west. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same."

Really over this feeling that my house and my body are falling apart 🥲 I'm so tired of being tired, and being pain free for a few months was so nice. I can't handle it being back again.

Agreed. We've already been down the impeachment route during the first term and that did fuck all, I have very little faith another attempt will bear fruit.

Valid. I no longer have Twitter, but I'm keeping a closer eye on other social media accounts. Unfortunately, Twitter still seems to be the most common social media for devs.

Saw a headline today saying pretty much anything east of the Rockies is Tornado Alley now. These weather systems are wreaking havoc on me via migraines & anxiety, but I'm glad that, so far, the Appalachians have been decent tornado protection.

My boss has received some comments from bigots that the paint test patches I put on our windows might be a political statement 🙄 they were gradients from purple to blue to test the paint behavior. So now I have to be extra careful about not putting potential flags on the window.

When the Signal WH bullshit happened, I immediately made the BUT HER EMAILS!!! joke. What I wasn't expecting was my dad screenshotting a post from my mom, posting it, tagging her, & saying she can't be upset because she wasn't mad about said emails. Should have expected it. Still a disappointment.

Frontlines roulette is easy exp. That's it. I've been playing since post StB and got all three pvp win mounts like. Last year. Way more people need to chill the hell out 😂 Also why are half the calls useless? REGROUP! PUSH! BLUE! Okay where, because these callers do not know how to map link.

I tend to stick with "it can feel a little slow in the beginning, but it's setting up the world and introducing the major players in a story that spans multiple expansions, so take your time and explore!" ARR also just...doesn't suck.

I really think it should bother more ppl that not only is generative AI built on theft AND a breeding ground for misinformation, but it ALSO uses insane amounts of energy to generate any response (particularly image generators) the earth is so important and I just think that should give ppl pause

Magneto's plan in the first X-Men film is flawless: find the senator most vocally targeting your minority group and turn the into a horrible goo.

Below is that scene.

Think we’ve forgotten about the time that Elon was booed so badly by fans of Dave Chapelle (of all people) that he locked himself in his office and Twitter employees considered calling the cops to do a wellness check. What I’m saying is we can go harder.
screenshot that reads Elon Musk almost needed SFPD wellness check after ‘breakdown,’ getting booed at Dave Chappelle show ‘He got to a point where he locked himself in his office, was so upset’ that Twitter employees feared he would hurt himself, the author of a new book says about the billionaire

Yesterday was terrifying due to three wildfires breaking out around me. All controlled and going out now, thankfully. Today, I feel better than I have in a long time, and I think it's due to spending two hours reading. The break in the real life horror is so important.

I loooooove airports, they're so fun. I think they remind me of going to the mall a bit? People watching, looking for your name on keychains and picking up silly shot glasses, a bunch of different food options, but with the fun anticipation of going somewhere! I miss flying. (I miss trains more lol)

God, same. I try so hard to not think about what would happen if x, what would they do to my cats if y, if we could get out of here, could I bring my babies, how long before martial law, etc. Just a horror show in my brain 24/7.

Woke up terrified of hurricane season. SOMEONE decided it was a good idea to fire a bunch of folks involved in weather prediction. I was lucky the hurricane last year passed us over. At this rate, the only way to know if a deadly storm happened is a post from a shocked tourist in a decimated town.

I wish I had more to add, but you hit every single point on the head. Gridania sucks, deserves to not suck, but they really want it to be xenophobic & horrible. I also loved the EW tank quest in a vacuum, but I was so disappointed they didn't take advantage of such a good opportunity for growth.

I’m in December 18, 1860, going through each day of news during the secession crisis, and I can tell you that all of the same tactics and coping mechanisms you are trying now are being used by Northerners and none of them work. None. White people do not change.

He deleted it because he "didn't want to get into it." The post was about the WH's stated attitudes and treatment plans for folks with various chronic conditions. If you don't want to get into it, don't fucking get into it. Don't delete the work you explicitly asked me to perform.

I hate being challenged; RSD sucks, but it's on me to manage. So when I unknowingly posted a hoax, I spent time reminding myself that the person who pointed it out doesn't hate me. But they challenged me again today, I spent so much time writing a response, & they deleted their comment. Sir. 😐

Bipartisan ‘Guest Worker’ bill filed to have immigrants work in GA, resolve labor shortages
The bill is intended to fill positions in areas with labor shortages by hiring “willing citizens of other nations to perform work in this state for limited periods of time.”

The state of Louisiana has decided to stop promoting mass vaccinations, & I'm sure my state is next. Folks here act like a flu shot comes from a weapon. I should have done this years ago, I know that, but it's time for a cute, reusable respirator. I could be out here looking like a sexy carpenter.

Let them eat cake this Valentine's Day with this sugary sweet historical fiction story from Pigeon about two lovers transgressing their social classes for the purest reason of all: Eating Pussy. www.ohjoysextoy.com/something-sw...
Something Sweeter by Pigeon, published February 11, 2025 on ohjoysextoy.com/something-sweeter-pigeon

With a color palette of muted maroons, beiges, pinks, browns, and teal, Pigeon illustrates this Rocco comic with delicate, lacy details. 

Page 1: 
A four-poster bed with heavy burgundy curtains sits in an opulent room with expensive-looking furniture that are reminiscent of the Marie Antoinette days. Lady sleepily opens her eyes in her big soft bed. 

She has flowing, long and dark hair, styled into an extravagant rococo-style hairdo.
Big eyes with long eyelashes and a dreamy gaze. Soft lips with a hint of smile and a few beauty spots on her face. The noticeable features are also her well-pronounced cheekbones and nose. Tall and slender, and her skin is dark and smooth.

She wears white stockings tied with blue ribbons and shiny blue shoes adorned with bows. On her neck we can see a sheer lace choker decorated with a string of pearls. Similar irregular pearls are visible in her earrings and decorating her hair. 


"Cake, mylady?" Asks her maid as she offers her an ornate tray with four suggestive teal cakes displayed on it. Each palm-size cake is a teal half-sphere with light pink icing decorating the base and a twirled dollop of dark pink icing on top, resembling four colorful breasts presented on a tray beneath the apron-clad ample bosom of the maid.  

The perspective moves to the opposite side of the room, where we see the Lady regarding the maid hungrily from her bed and, in the foreground, we now see that the curvy maid is ONLY wearing her apron, leaving her backside entirely exposed to us. The big loose bow made by the apron strings brushes against her full curvy figure. 

She is a mix of auburn and brown, braided and neatly pinned up, crowned with a white maid band on the top of her head. A multitude of freckles cover her face and arms, complementing her warm complexion.
