Yeah I thought about that too, but it doesn't work as well when most of the flags that use grey also use black. Maybe I could use the normal monster instead of black, but idk. I'll figure something out. Thank you for the suggestion though. If I decide to make a flag with only grey I'll likely use it

A lot of flags that have grey would be difficult(I don't want to pay $60 for an unleaded), otherwise I'd want the aro, ace, and agender flags. Also, I'm sort of placing the arbitrary restriction of only the Ultra flavors.

Enby seems like a good choice but I'd need to find black and yellow(Citron I think). I could do Bi, but again I'd like a better blue. For Pan, I'm missing yellow. For the gay/MLM pride flag, I would definitely need to find a selection of blues and greens/teals which exist but I'd need to find them.

I don't know. Depends on how much I plan to drink and which flavors I can find locally. I don't really want to order entire cases just for the bit. I'd like to make the trans flag, but I might have difficulty if I want to find a better blue than Ultra Blue Hawaiian.

5 Monster Energy Ultra cans placed next to each other with colors that resemble the lesbian pride flag. The flavors from left to right are Ultra Sunrise, an Orange can, Ultra Peachy Keen, a light orange or peach can, Zero Ultra, a white can, Ultra Strawberry Dreams, a light pink can, and Ultra Fantasy Ruby Red, a Dark Pink can.

Finally finished (this part of) my collection this week.
I need a few more flavors to make certain other flags but I have ideas.

Thanks a lot, mother, for giving me wrist dysphoria –_–

So I changed the brakes on my car today bc of an entire ordeal yesterday (ask and I'll tell, its just not the topic of this post)
But my hands got dirty in the process, and after cleaning them off, the black edge around my nails is really making me wish I could paint them rn.

My dumb fucking ass got baited by the play button. I'm not even that tired, I just wanted to hear more.

A new body would definitely be jarring, but I think the effect of the above, combined with fear of the unknown, is vastly understated in isekai.
(not me realizing that I specifically really like existential horror stuff where you can do nothing but fear or accept because nothing you do can save you)

Yeah, that's fair. I was just kinda thinking about the existential slow creep of loss and dread where you realize that you'll never see anything and anyone you knew or loved ever again.

It sorta felt more real when the MCs were scared and confused about their new bodies bc, for some reason, they never seemed scared and confused about the world they were meant to inhabit.

It honestly usually just meant that the MC was isekaied into a female body (bc you have to cater toward the male gaze even when writing a female mc (tone indicator: sarcasm/spiteful/mocking/indignant?) and it usually didn't come up too much, unless they were making a point about sexism ofc.

I think it's kinda funny just how much of a fascination I had with gender bender stories.
Surely, that meant nothing :) /s

It feels like I paid for a concert ticket and got a backstage pass to see a driven and thoughtful cast and crew take to the skies and make something that ended up being truly truly beautiful. That was genuinely so awesome.

After a long period of deliberation, seeing the promotions for this episode finally convinced me to purchase a subscription to dropout. I was not disappointed. In fact, I think that this episode and its BTS are individually worth the $48 I paid for a full year of access to similarly amazing content.

I'm not dead, hbu? :3

The silicon valley model of consent

lol, youtube added a clickthrough warning modal to save people from getting rickrolled. afaict it's the only video that has it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4...

Naps are great. I had one on Saturday because I had forbidden 7pm Dr. Pepper on Friday.

Yeah, but taking the time to read the transcript seems too attention consuming.
What if I want to cook pasta while I read the transcript?

My proposition: we also make and sell recordings of people reading the transcript of the audiobook along with or even separately to the audiobook transcript.

At least twice, and now I'm fucking boooored. So I guess I nap now? Or something? I feel a loot more hyperactive than I usually do. fuck. Imma try to sleep. Remember, yall fine as hell. Ight. Closing bsky in like 30 seconds. Nite. or afternoon or something.

I got like 4 hours of sleep last night(bc i drank caffeine like a dumbass), so I think I should be napping, but the sky is awake, so I am awake, and I want a third thing here. I feel Horrendously normal, but I keep losing interest in each thing that I start and now I've cycled through each thing 1/2

a flopped over light purple plush octopus toy in a room with other stuffies. it has mismatched round protruding eyes and an open mouthed toothless smile

close up view of a the face of a light purple plush octopus toy. it has mismatched-sized round protruding eyes and an open mouthed toothless smile. kinda giving cookie monster but pale purple and eight legs

ok, i need help!! my bestie who lost her husband in august, accidentally gave away this octopus stuffy.

it was sentimental to her daughter, she used to play with it with her dad. she’s been combing goodwills & reverse image searching w no luck.

so: anyone recognize this bug-eyed purple freak??

what replaces due process under fascism is the assurance of protection for favored groups. even though it’s precarious, a lot of people feel just as protected under that framework as they do under one with due process

Well fuck you and your juicy fruit

Also: How did I *just* notice your url? It's fucking awesome.

It's so weird. I really relate to this because I remember things being offered to me that I turned down because I wasn't supposed to want them(because they were girly).

Stereotypical dysphoria sounds a lot more noticeable and overwhelming when it's spoken about, but I agree it felt more abstract.

That sounds cool. I'll have to look into them

And it's not falling apart exactly; each layer is held together either by glue(?) or friction+compression.
