because of this, i’m never backing things on kickstarter ever again. i’m sorry to the trustworthy people who need their projects supported, but i can’t. i’m really hurting for the money and this has been awful.

even though i have gotten my fluffnest plushies and got to access the alpha for puffpals: island skies, i want my fucking money back. this whole situation is insane. pissing my and others’ money away on trips to vegas and a raunchy vtuber model??? lily yang and david pentland can go fuck themselves.

if i can be y’all’s dad for a second: one of the most important things I’ve learned is that acquiring a skill is literally uncomfortable that awful moment where you feel confused and stupid and embarrassed? it means you’re about to learn something. and it’s *mandatory* if you want to get better

GO GET YOUR FUCKING PASSPORTS

cannot tell you how many times my undiagnosed adhd ass procrastinated and then did huge projects for school the night before they were due. and got As on all of them. bullshitting is an art and a science.

I’m seeing a lot of people posting about how sick they are with a “summer flu” Main complaints? Fatigue, extremely sore throat, fever and loss of smell. It’s Covid. The Nimbus variant is here & appears to be more transmissible. It’s time to wear a respirator, clean the air & stay home when sick!

✧ Tempted to play TotK on Switch 2 🥹 #Zelda 💧🐉

Nobody does a newsletter like @mikedrucker.bsky.social I swear to god

The kid read her first real book front to back with limited assistance tonight. This is a well done children’s book because it is a meaningful story with accessible and repetitive vocabulary to build confidence. Would recommend 10/10. She was very proud of herself 🔥

we need to acknowledge that terfs are indeed second wave feminists in order to address the issue that second wave feminism is overwhelmingly white, western, misandrist, and misanthropic. just saying “we don’t claim them” isn’t gonna fix anything. accountability here is important

comics artist whose schtick is “middle schooler who just discovered weed” making extremely racist comic bashing industry peers, published authors using LLMs to write their books and leaving the prompts in the final…folks, anything you put out at this point would be better. don’t be scared. do it.

happy pride. my gender is whatever is funniest for the bit and i only have eyes for a fictional samurai form a game i don’t play anymore. if you are like him you may dm me. once. you have one shot

hey why the fuck is vegeta x bulma not called vegetabul (vegetable). it’s right there

i’m just now realizing frye is wearing shiver’s hachimaki as a hair tie in raiders. that’s cute

4:45 am at my overnight job is the worst time to have a big revelation but i think i’m so fatigued and stressed and have been since ~age 14 because i’m not living as my true self, and feel like i’m not allowed to by eider society this may or may not be a gender thing

People, seriously, will you PLEASE knock it off with the AI/LLM usage. You are causing actual droughts, and for what? Bullshit and slop. It’s embarrassing. You are embarrassing.

Arts and Humanities majors # online should be allowed special control over an orbital Lazer and you get to incinerate to death one reply guy every month.

i’m being intentionally vague because i don’t have the bandwidth to deal with any harassment or debate. if you do not support voice actors for games and anime unionizing and asking for protections against AI, i don’t want you following me. door’s on your right, please leave. if you don’t i’ll block.

I’m seeing and hearing it’s very hard to get a Switch 2 right now… again don’t buy from scalpers please Make them cry and complain they losing money because they the reason it’s always out of stock; they gotta pay

People saying “why can’t they just get citizenship!” When legit it’s taken me half my life even though I’m earning well and I’m educated and fluent in English I’m still jumping through hoops. Now imagine someone poor without these resources that faces starvation or death…

Here’s Hasan saying it himself. With enough donations, he doesn’t have to risk his life at one of these death trap aid centers. It’s not just flour (at $500 a bag ofc), it’s one less vector of violence he has to fear every day. Please donate + share. gofund.me/e6740048

Her little trunk bubbles at the end 🥺

It’s so easy to be an artist. You just do it. That, of course, is why it’s so hard to be an artist. You just have to do it. People despise how artistic courage highlights their own cowardice. Thus, crave the art, despise the artist. my random thoughts on it, better said by all the ppl in history

Do not buy books from Dark Owl Publishing! The owner and operator is Andrea Dawn, a known white supremacist, who is currently on threads talking about plowing cars into protesters.

soooo, i don't want to share the 30~ screenshots i took because they're awful, awful, awful, but ah ... heads up about dark owl publishing. and if you're curious, go look at the 'replies' section of her threads page and keep scrolling down. :/

In learning theory, this is covered by zone of proximal development (Vygotsky) among others. There has to be cognitive effort in between not knowing anything & mastery or you don’t actually end up learning anything new. You also can’t check to see if what it’s doing for you is accurate.

once your brain is fully developed at ~age 25-ish it will begin a culling of synapse connections it feels it doesn’t need anymore. this phase doesn’t stop, it’s lifelong, and once you lose those connections they’re just gone. depending on LLMs will prevent your brain from remaining healthy and sharp

I am surrounded by people who are outsourcing their own thinking to ChatGPT and they are quickly and obviously becoming dependent on it for even the most banal tasks. Once again, the "figuring it out" is the important part. Yes, you can use a crane to lift weights but you will not get stronger

i hate every single thing about this.

Pretty Pretty Please outfits!
