We didn't deserve this day.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together 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... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Pet peeve: People who advocate for not washing cast iron pans or mokka pots... 🤢

Man... he's just so good at making deals. It's an art really...

The main reason I bought a bigger desk was so that my cat would have more space when keeping me company. (Also, she kept just lying on the keyboard and mouse, which is suboptimal when gaming or having a video call).

its actually very funny that the stranger things creators have never played dungeons and dragons because ending each adventure without any idea where you are going next and hyping a villain so much you could never hope to stick the landing is extremely on brand for a D&D campaign

Wow... just... wow! (also thanks for sharing!)

Cops violently disperse protesters at Tel Aviv anti-war rally, after court raised attendance cap Detained activists say police stopped them from reaching shelter amid missile attack; chief rabbi declares court 'enemy of Judaism' after permissive ruling is issued on Shabbat

Somehow this article manages to feature every aspect of inter-Israeli politics without intending to, I'm impressed www.timesofisrael.com/cops-violent...

Same thought here: OMG, this looks like Hollow Knight, but why is it Jewish and how am I so into this??

Maybe YOUR Jesus came back from the dead today, but mine won't be dead until next week, so there's that.

“Secondhand clothes sales forecast to hit $289bn as AI helps shoppers find deals” says The Guardian, AI threatening the demise of yet more fun.

None of these words should be sharing a sentence, yet I am absolutely here for this!!

Is it okay if I laughed just a little reading this?

Comic in sieben Panels. 1. Panel Überschrift: Was ist Autistic Joy? Illustration: Ein lächelnder Regenbogen mit einem Kawaii-Gesicht, Sterne funkeln um ihn herum

2. Panel Text: Autistic Joy ist ein Gefühl, das viele Autist*innen erleben. Es durchflutet unseren gesamten Körper und ist eine sehr intensive Mischung aus Freude und Aufregung. Es ist eine sehr individuelle Erfahrung und kann sich von Mensch zu Mensch unterscheiden. Aber Autistic Joy ist vor allem eins: Wundervoll!
Illustration: Ein fröhlicher Fuchs fliegt mit ausgebreiteten Armen durch die Luft, er zieht einen Regenbogenschweif hinter sich her

3. Panel
Autistic Joy kann sich wie ein bunter Sternenschauer in deinem Körper anfühlen, vielleicht kribbelt es auch überall. Die Freude kann sich wie eine Kuscheldecke um dich legen und du lebst komplett in dem Moment. Oder dein Gehirn fühl sich an als würde darin gerade ein warmes buntes Feuerwerk losgehen!
Illustration: Ein Fuchs ist von vorne zu sehen, er hat die Augen geschlossen und lächelt, auf seinem Bauch sind wie bei einem Glücksbärchi bunte Sterne abgebildet. Um ihn herum ist eine warme gelbe Aura.

4. Panel
Das Gefühl ist manchmal so intensiv, dass wir auch gerne dazu stimmen, um uns wieder zu regulieren. Happy Flapping! Wir können uns auch danach erschöpft und überreizt fühlen, weil das Gefühl sehr überwältigend ist. Dann brauchen wir eine Pause und müssen uns erholen, das ist vollkommen in Ordnung.
Illustration: Ein T-Rex und ein Fuchs wedeln beide fröhlich mit den Händen

Happy Autism Acceptance Day/Month! Der April steht ganz im Zeichen der Autismus Aufklärung und hierfür zeige ich euch noch mal meinen Infocomic zu Autistic Joy 🌈.

So solidarity with minorities is now totally dependent on profitability and whether it makes anyone uncomfortable? Cool cool cool...

Trans friends, thank you for being you, and for, when you can, sharing yourselves with a world that is so frequently undeserving of the light you bring to it. I love and support you, always. 🏳️‍⚧️🫂🫶

Video Game 1: Make sure you have the latest drivers installed.

Agreed. Also, thanks for sharing the link to the article.

In other news: The only democracy in the Middle East has passed a death penalty law that only applies to a racial minority.

You can be a good person & still have a past that would ruin your reputation at the wrong dinner table. Life is weird like that. Sometimes your worst years are what make you better later. And sometimes the reason you're so careful now is because you remember the damage you were capable of. That's the uncomfortable origin story of a lot of good people. Turns out shame can grow a conscience if you let it.

Realest post I have read today

A middle-aged cutie with a ginger beard and green glasses. They look a little tired, but they smile.

Flying back from Greece today after a somewhat unexpected funeral. Got to experience so much grief and love that I haven't fully processed yet.
Right now I'm just grateful and tired.

Took me forever to find out that this setting even exists in Windows... I absolutely hate software applying some settings in the background without telling me. 😕

", [and don't,] dare I say it, try and shove, like, crappy identity politics into it" Oh no, Andy Weir, No. Just No.

Please stop spreading this rage bait.

The quote everyone's angry about, about "crappy identity politics," is not from Weir.

Finished reading Andy Weir's Project Hail Mary, after a couple of folks so warmly praised it, and I can only agree: What a lovely and heartwarming piece of science fiction!
