forgot the most important of the genre

Cartoon of a bear looking at exit signs, saying "They're fine, I guess", with the caption "Exit, perused by a bear". Instead of pursued. From Shakespeare. Let me have this. #SpéirGorm #SpéirGhorm #Ireland #Cartoon #Art #Shakespeare

And now for something very silly.

I am begging you. Please learn about stress/discomfort tolerance. Practice raising it. You need this to survive. If someone online can ruin your day with a throwaway comment, you desperately need to understand discomfort tolerance and consciously, systematically build that shit. Also! Stress tolerance is such an important skill that having a learning disability in that area is a major symptom of a whole lot of other disabilities/mental illnesses! Struggling with it is a huge part of life! It sucks! Am I saying everyone with misophonia needs to listen to chewing noises all day? No. But you need to find ways to tolerate it enough that you don't treat others like shit if they make a mouth noise near you. No, you don't have to read the fic with your trigger tags. But you do need to be able to handle scrolling past the tags without being upset. It is hard! But not having it also makes you so so so easy to manipulate. That grandma is racist AF because her mom raised her to be uncomfortable around black people and she never fought that discomfort. Trans people make so many cis people uncomfortable and that discomfort turns into bigotry real fast. Letting your discomfort dictate your actions and beliefs about things is a great way to become a terrible person. Learn. Discomfort. Tolerance.

Important shit that I’m still trying to learn.

4th ed was the first D&D where I played a proper campaign, I really liked the way encounters were designed around player experience with the minions etc!

After 40 days and nights in the astral plane - reading, editing and communing with the gods of science fiction - we are delighted to have our eight open submission stories for issue 1!!

We'll be shining the spotlight on each of our authors in the run up to @norncon.bsky.social so watch this space!!

Ah fair enough, long day though. I used to work in summer accommodation and the people who would undergo the bus journey down to Kerry and back up in a single day for what must have been an hour or two of sights at most were mystifying to us!

And back again in the same day? How long did you actually get in Galway?

lmao the eurovision mascot is so ugly I literally screamed at this reveal

An image of a statue of Plato with the quote "Thinking: the talking of the soul with itself."

Ní miste sin!

Them saying their dubbing is famed for its quality, are there people comparing these things?

Among who, like?

I've always found it very funny with French dubbing that every male adult character sounds like the same middle-aged chain smoker.

All joking aside, yes I agree AAVE is actually appropriated far more often.

Just scouring the feed of someone who posted "sometimes it do be like that" to see if they're Irish or if it's Hiberno-English appropriation. Just normal stuff #speirghorm

Cad faoi 'cuingir'?

No. Feckers.

Who was the best footballer in the Gamma Quadrant?

Wayoun Rooney

Greg: What’s next?

Alex: Well, sometimes we like to set a task for just one of our contestants. Or, in this case, twelve different tasks.

Hercules: Oh for f -

Greg: Roll VT!

Greg: What was the wording on the task?

Alex: Make Achilles invulnerable by dipping him in the Styx. Most invulnerable Achilles wins.

Greg: Dip the baby. The whole baby. They’re not going to hang onto a heel or anything stupid like that.

Alex: First, let’s see Thetis’ attempt.

Oh does he leave? Good to know!

I think my weird dislike dates back to when it was a DS9 and Voyager double bill on Sunday evening, and Voyager was on later so it was a bit closer to being back to school and the weekend being over.

Enjoy! Bracing myself for Voyager next, not expecting as much.

But there was no time for bat'leths!! We watched the end recently as well, I had never seen the finale. Still a bit bereft!

In a fecking conference room of all places. No torches or anything!

A thousand apologies, I had just assumed.
