I learned today that one of my dear friends, Lyra, has passed away due to an illness. It was 29.
I will miss it so much. Lyra was incredibly kind, caring, & friendly. We could talk both about silly computer things & deep trans stuff, and go deep with both. It will always have a place in my heart. 🧡

For my friend.
Lyra you were so kind, and so loved. You deserved so much more. I will miss you, friend. Thank you, for the joy of knowing you. Rest well.
I am so sad, and angry, and I miss my friend
But I am so glad I got to know it, even if just for a little while
Lyra, you deserved so much better.
Walk in dreams.

I've read your posts, you're cooking every day.
I think you can make it look like the picture, honestly. Seems perfectly within reasonable expectations. And even if it doesn't look exactly like the photo, it'll still be pretty good. Way better than going hungry, that's for sure.
Looks like good chili. You should try some. Shame if it just sat in your cupboard for years and you never find out what it tastes like
One unfortunate aspect of fandom is when you try talking about a piece of media online like "I'm interested in the stuff that's actually in the thing" and get stonewalled by the "I am going to fill every criticism and thematic gap with fanfiction" type
First instinct was no of course not, but then... Suspicious behaviour, forcing specific hammers on women... What's there to hide, huh? Don't want me choosing my own hammer?! What's so special about this one??
Can I choose the hammer?
This is incredible
Three panel comic. Panel 1: One trip across the atlantic later... Your honor, im sorry- Panel 2: Save it! Your "sorry's" are worthless; you throw them out like pocket lint. No, consequences must be faced. I sentence you to 20 hugs. Wait what To be carried out immediately Panel 3: A group of people hugging. "ACK"
Tough shit, them's the rules, now get adoring yourself.
Also the citation reads "be kinder to others *and to yourself*..." thank you very much.
How come you're writing this like it's a joke and not a literal description of how I interact with the world?
they're good rules, ma'am
9. We all love you
Rule 9!
It's okay, I will simply imagine the oscillation instead and pretend it's real.
I immediately extrapolate from your display name that you will be doing the complete sequence in reverse now.
How exactly the bad things become good is a Mystery, it is our duty not to answer it but to have Faith.
I'm confused, there's a story I like, but it contains bad things?? Am I supposed to like the bad things?? I don't want to like bad things, but I don't want to stop liking the story, so maybe they're good things actually I guess?? Yeah that must be it.
I became Senior VP at a multi-million dollar company at age 26. My salary was $600k. This was in 2018. How did I do it? Blacked out lines CEO (my dad) promoted me to SVP. There are no gimmicks. There are no shortcuts.
This is blackout poetry to me
You think I'm wrong about countryside ecology? I'll have you know I've drawn over 100 Sonic the Hedgehog OCs. Bet you're feeling pretty silly now, huh?
Edited "wow, cool robot!" meme. A girl in a cat ear hoodie fires a shot from a gun that arcs gracefully over the head of a crudely drawn face. The shot is labelled "Nichole is a huge bitch for no reason" The face is saying "Wow!! Repression and toxic online communities with malicious incentive structures cause people to do horrible things!"
