Spouse has a theory that cutting my tea might fix some of my health issues, and they're about to find out how well I can fight.

"How do you know what a bird wants?" The rainbow death chicken just chirped and trilled incessantly until a child came to change her water because she wanted to take a bath. They'll let you know.

What if she's the Sphinx and gives them back twofold, though? Then you'd be even more confused.

He's actually a doll for the most part. He and his more vocal brother (Cerberus) don't like men, though. He needed a "leave me alone" command since he's a massive cuddler who will get sat on by rambunctious kids. So obviously, I chose "Begone."

Did I need to drop half of my expectations for the next 3 months so I didn't continue to cry from being overwhelmed? Omg. Absolutely, yes. Do I feel less than for it? Unfortunately, also Omg. Absolutely, yes.

I have bad experiences with the evangelical side of Protestantism. But, I have definitely considered that if I ever convert, it would probably be to Episcopalian.

I can’t imagine looking at a trillionaire and thinking “Wow, he could do so much for society!” Well, unless the rest of the sentence was “redistribution of wealth” themed. Also, borders are bullshit.

My kids swore there was no way the “birds can’t taste spicy” was true because mine screams for all types of peppers, and their hot sauce. Well, turns out they probably can, they just don’t care until around ghost pepper level. Maybe cats have a higher level before they can as well?

Have to write a paper that argues for sanctuary cities not giving ICE information, but I'm so sniffly and cranky that my outline so far only consists of "FUCK ICE." and "Sanctuary cities are covered under the 10th Amendment and the US Constitution also covers non-citizens. This is fucking BS."

I have a pocket parrot (green cheek conure), and let me tell you.... they will let you know. Loudly. Incessantly. More adamantly than toddler telling you what they *don't* want. Mine bobs her head at the cage like "yes, please for me as well" until she feels ignored, and then the screeching begins.

Everyone wants someone to like them for something. Clout culture is just an inflated version of that.

When we have robots doing our hobbies while we work and do chores, we absolutely went wrong somewhere.

You weren't the only one who said it, so I figured a clear up was in order. I also do hobbies for the fun of them. More people should.

Spouse put Blink 182's I Miss You on while I made dinner. I come back to them sitting with Donut in their lap, so now I'm unsure for whom the serenade was intended. Guess y'all can live like Jack and Sally if you want. I'll be over here feeding cheesy eggs to Karl and Void.

Getting a lot of quote posts from people that don't understand I meant "those people whomst have AI do their hobbies." Hence why I hate character limitations.

Tylwyth Teg Cottage @tylwythtegcottage.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Lol, I obviously meant the people who use AI to do their hobbies for them. 40k and Magic hobbyists play because we can't lift a heavier wallet.

It is. But authenticity vs faking it does not affect the dopamine one gets from the kudos. If you do not know how to navigate outside of the concept of constant dopamine hunting that late stage capitalism has brought us, then it stands to reason some people just cannot fathom caring about that.

It IS hard. But, we do not have a society that allows the fostering of time that talent takes. In a capitalistic society, spending time on hobbies is a luxury. When people who can't afford that want the notoriety that come with socmed (for ex) they will take shortcuts when it is available to them.

With the fantasy football example, a large group of people just do not understand football yet pretend for group settings. If the expectation at work is to have a competitive team, because you have that type of boss, it makes absolute sense that one would turn to AI for it if one also did for work.

020

Tylwyth Teg Cottage @tylwythtegcottage.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Instead, I'll just say that we have been seeing evidence of people not having hobbies for a while. It's one of the core drivers of the incel movement. If those men had things they did for fun, they wouldn't be so whiny about women not fucking them. They'd be too busy doing other things.

Tylwyth Teg Cottage @tylwythtegcottage.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

We could go into a long - actual sociological - convo about how the United States uses the basis of Protestantism to demonize hobbies while also commodifying them into a fiscally untenable habit for much of society who has now resorted to faking them to fit in. But charater limits are a bitch.

Artists who use it feel like it will make them look better than they are. Same with writers. They want that virality on the internet and cannot learn to draw fast enough. It's not about the doing of the art or the hobby. It's about being able to say they do it, too.

240

Tylwyth Teg Cottage @tylwythtegcottage.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

I have a theory about this, based on lots of sociological observation (aka people watching). People don't do hobbies they like. They do hobbies they feel will make them fit in or for clout. Fantasy football would especially fit into that because it is talked about in offline settings as well.

I am specifically looking for something on iOS that does Turabian natively or with minimal effort. My iPad is the only Apple product I have, so I need something that can talk between iOS and PC. The reviews I've seen say Scrivener seems to make that transition awkward at best.

Thinking of buying Scrivener for my iPad (already have it on my PC) because my inner dragon keeps telling me to acquire the Freewrite Traveler, but I just won't use it for my type of writing. Has anyone used both formats of Scrivener whomst can tell me if there are differences? #writer #gradschool

These 2 blankets were supposed to be done and dusted, so I could maybe manage the other 3 by the end of next month, and I'm only on skein 4/9 of the one. We won't be discussing the other. Guess these will not be presents this year. I really need to readjust my expectations. #knitsky #crochet 🧶
