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.

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.

Yessss 14 is smol, 19 is med 💙

It's G19 for me. The promise of upgradeable housing sizes makes me pretty happy to keep G14, but G19 my love.

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.

The country might be on fire, but one thing will never change; the DMV takes forever. My number has been the next number for...37 minutes. 🙃

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.

Oof, same!

I will 💙

Joke's on you, jackasses. Time for more niche flags.

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.

Saaaaame, love a good comeback. I will regroup wherever folks want but TELL ME WHERE. Otherwise my goofy gnb ass is chasing stragglers lol.

Tax the rich!!!!!!!!

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.

Also your finch is so cute, a baby 💙

Nose envy?

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

Tweet from Conor Smith 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.

Finally watched it last night with my partner and it was as cringe as all these comments are saying, which is to say I loved it, y'all are adorable (whatever your relationship is), and I look forward to future shenanigans 😂💙

I would totally wear this as a tank top, but this would be awesome as stickers. I'd slap them on every single surface possible in my horrible little town.

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

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.

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.
