watching the last season of Stranger Things, it's awesome and all but the way they cut the cliffhangers is ridiculous. Every episode, right before the climax of said episode, cut to black, watch the next one.
It's insulting to the viewer, and cheapens the whole show. can we stop doing this please?
ho ho whoa
PSA i am autistic. You cannot change next day plans with me after midnight.
(i mean you _can_, but I'll likely won't see your message until I'm dressed and ready to go, because I have a precise planning to get ready & will not check my phone every 5min to make sure you're honoring our agreement)
"If there is one thing you can do in observance of Transgender Awareness Week this year, it is this: Take a moment to learn about transgender people—not the political talking points, not the legislation, but the real, live humans behind the headlines." www.newsweek.com/the-trevor-p...
Thank you! (again, bc I replied with my BTS bsky account haha)
as someone with De Quervain's, I'm really curious if this would make my condition better or worse...
The tattoo is itching but healing well! I'm so happy with it! I feel like I put a piece of my 'inside' on the outside.
I come across as friendly, kind, gentle, cute. And I am those things, but I'm also a badass. I've been through some shit. Now I can see more of that in the mirror, and I like that.
A close-up of a white woman’s upper arm shows a delicate butterfly tattoo. The design features black ink outlines with soft shading and pastel hues of pink and lavender on the wings. Tiny stars and dots surround the butterfly, giving the tattoo a light, whimsical touch.

If you want a Spotify alternative, may I suggest Deezer? It's French, and so it has to abide by EU privacy laws, and also hates the monarchy

It's taking me weeks to move 1TB of data away from Google (photos, videos, documents, email)... and now of course Spotify shit the bed with fascism too, so now I need move all my playlists as well. I hate it here
Componist Lorien Testard (31) won deze week de WSA Game Music Award tijdens de Gentse filmdagen. Verrassend is zijn winst niet: dit jaar heeft vrijwel iedereen het over Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Ik sprak hem voor NRC over zijn werk: www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/...
I'm very proud of myself for going out tonight and meeting new people of a common interest despite overwhelming anxiety
Yes! It took a lot of effort but I'm finally making actual progress now instead of constantly being behind because past me already spent future me's money
i can't believe this whole time I thought i was bad at money but actually i was just operating inside a completely busted cognitive trap that's well documented in behavioral economics???

I really like the way Kpop Demon Hunters represents fandom, both the good and bad. (Your Idol, anyone?) So that's why I wrote a short read about the songs, Rumi's burn-out and more. Enjoy! #kpopdemonhunters nicollelamerichs.com/2025/09/15/r...
I'm sure my neighbors and cats appreciate me trying to hit all the notes in #KDH Golden
accidentally put too much cinnamon in my lunch and gave myself spicy yogurt
which is honestly a great drag name
I wrote about my experience with AI the past few months, and how GPT-5 brought it full-circle.
The blog post I've been trying to write for months; here it is, finally.

thinking about no longer watching the news, there's never anything good on anyway

Kinda random, but I love plumbers. I mean, platonically greatly appreciate them. I've had so many plumbing problems in my apartment this year and it's a relief to just have people here who know what the fuck they're doing and can solve the issue.
We don't appreciate tradespeople enough tbh
Title: Gender Census 2025. Text: If you can't easily put yourself into just one of these two boxes, you are invited to take part. Illustration: Two boxes, each with photos of relevant dictionary pages.
The 12th annual international Gender Census 2025 is now open until at least 30th August 2025!
survey.gendercensus.com
It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.
That's the magic! You need to let it rest anyway, so you can have fresh baked goods in the morning
Baking before bedtime, then?
anyone else love baking at night? idk why it works for me but I'm curious if anyone else has this 😅
Imagine getting a massive blowup from being touted as a refuge from the Nazification of Twitter, and then protecting Nazis.
