The idea that people who take significant Covid precautions must be introverts is offensive as hell.
It’s ableist as hell. Performers, Organizers, the biggest extroverts in the world were forced to give up careers because other people wouldn’t mask. We do it because we still can’t afford COVID.
I think the greatest trick for getting good at creative work i know is - finish making as many mediocre things as possible. Just finish stuff, again and again. Share it or don’t, but put a bow on it, put it aside, make the next thing, repeat.
folding ideas comment section is usually pretty good imho!!
Thank you 💙💙💙💙
Maybe one day! But def not right now when I'm still in the middle of "trying to make sure this most recent stint doesn't become more PTSD". There's lots of other good shows to watch, thankfully!
Ah mate I feel you. I have a big bushy beard and I still get misgendered. People are truly odd as hell with their decisions on how they gender strangers.
I’ve had the same editor since 1967. Many times he has said to me over the years or asked me, Why would you use a semicolon instead of a colon? And many times over the years I have said to him things like: I will never speak to you again. Forever. Goodbye. That is it. Thank you very much. And I leave. Then I read the piece and I think of his suggestions. I send him a telegram that says, OK, so you’re right. So what? Don’t ever mention this to me again. If you do, I will never speak to you again
Maya Angelou on the joys of being edited
omg!! jealous!!
Palantir are about six months away from ordering their employees to leave audio logs scattered around their offices
People who stand in the wheelchair spot on the tram with their huge luggage and don't move so that I, A Wheelchair, can use my single fucking spot on the tram: I hate you :)
like yeah I'd rather be alive and not making art than dead having made some I guess but I don't want those to be the options available to me
what if there's no fucking answer and I can never fucking write or create ever again I'm going to fucking cry again
Long story short, no pain relief for Erin yet. Gotta go get the hospital's opinion on what's safe to use long term. So I'm stuck rawdogging CFS and fibro like this for... weeks to months.
to be clear my doctor is really good and cool and I don't feel bad about this because of them at all, in fact the fact they're willing to go "I am scared of doing something wrong with you so we need a bigger team" is a good thing. but I don't want to need a bigger team. I wanted solutions today.
you ever cry about it afterwards over some mediocre chicken gyoza
you ever so fucked up that your GP appointment goes for over an hour and results in (among other things) getting referred back to the hospital because you're too complex for your GP to handle
This might sound flippant but it's not. I've needed so much babying after my whole body tried to self delete. Every tiny step of return to independence is worth acknowledging.
Big day today, going to a doctor's appointment alone on public transport instead of being driven for the first time since hospital. (Therapy doesn't count because it's just up the road from me.)
Starting today, gay/bi men in long-term monogamous relationships can donate blood. People who take PrEP, or who have multiple partners, are still excluded. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04...
finally googled the pitt because all my friends keep talking about it and it's a medical show
that explains why no one has actually personally asked me if I've watched it lmaoooo
tonally it's *extremely* different, but if you liked the new folding ideas video I really recommend this one by @jeffiot.net
can also recommend it to my twin peaks/david lynch fan friends since that's a large part of the discussion as well

it is essential to teach philosophy because you should learn that every point of view you can have as a human is fucking stupid.
"will that make me happy?"
ah, no.
Happy birthday!! Your Owner has such good taste!
I don't fantasise about dombreaking because honestly I'm not a "breaking" sort of dom in general. I don't like brats lmao. I like unspurred devotion. I like being offered submission, I don't really have any interest in forcing surrender.
the only fantasy I have about other doms is that I think it'd be neat to date another dom. like not in a D/s way. vanilla dating. we could be equal partners and occasionally absolutely destroy subs together and it'd be hot. I love co-topping. I feel like it'd be even more fun with a partner.
once again the answer to getting laid (by a broad definition of "getting laid") is to simply be a nice, chill, friendly person.
lots of dombreaking discussions on my tl lately and it made me think back over my entire play partner list and other doms are like. at least 30% of that number. maybe more like 40%?
it's very funny to me because I've NEVER set out to dom other doms or top other tops. THEY have always approached ME.
