I once told my coworker that if money was no object I'd get lots of cosmetic surgery done. But truth is I didn't want her to feel judged for having fillers. I am a mondo wuss about the idea of going under the knife despite any bravado regarding pain tolerance or going to the dentist.

You ever think, when you're a kid you get to learn about everything. Space, volcanoes, animals, dinosaurs, ancient civilisations. Then as we approach adulthood we get asked to specialise.

I’m going to post a thread now about working in RGB for print, ultimately for conversion to CMYK, and how to achieve interesting results while ignoring some traditional rules. Come break the rules with me.

Reminder that I have this year's (and past) pride posters available for download in my Ko fi shop for $5+ - hi-res versions + PSD files you are welcome to edit with your flag's colors. Use em to: Make your own posters/flyers Patches large or small Stickers Whatever! ko-fi.com/mxmorgan/sho...

Mr. Dire: you wouldn't care if I liked other women's pics (we are talking about thirsty pics) Me (deeply concerned): Don't like their pics! People can see that... You should save them in private a folder.

My husband has been reframing this as dog energy instead of a praise kink. They're really similar. I have been such a good girl and I would love to lick peanut butter off a spoon 🥺

My kid is singing a song she Just made up called "Private Poo". I think she's destined for musical theatre.

Watching SIlence of the Lambs for the first time. My co-worker was shocked I'd never seen it (or read it). So I'm making a point of watching now.

Me: what if instead of my medication I had 6 espressos? Mr Dire: So you can forget things 6 times faster.

Sent off a bunch of emails, which ended up being pointless because I got a bunch of automated email replies telling me to call. Why even have an email address? What is the point of living in this digital age if I have to make a phone call like I'm some kind of adult?

Been going to a lot of appointments lately. I don't know if health professionals are trained differently these days but they are so much more reassuring than when I was younger. "You did really well" "You were such a good patient" If I had a praise kink? Oof! Forget about it!

Tried to take a photo of my new hair cut the other day and now looking back at the photo it's the kind you see old conservatives use. In the car, wearing sun glasses, and too close to the camera. If I just added the slightest fish eye lens distortion it would be a perfect FB pfp.

In case you need to send this to some dingus the next time they bring up how using AI is fine + good, actually.

So: not alive, but capable of iterating and pursuing agendas in their own interest and against ours? Fantastic. I can’t work out if we just created techno-zombies or megaviruses. Either way, top work, lads. Have a few billion and an apocalypse.

Tech bros are so exhausting. They assume advanced computers can solve every problem. Ignoring the fact many gaps in knowledge come from refusing to acknowledge information from women, indigenous populations, skilled labourers etc. people who have hands on experience.

Tumblr is the Stephen Bradbury of social media.

Saw a post by the AEC telling people to do their research so they don't get swayed by lies. Response from people who plan to vote for Dutton or just not vote (it's mandatory in Oz) "Do research?! This is clearly propaganda!"

Your nostalgia for HP does not and never will be more important than trans lives, safety and welfare. Get rid of the media, stop buying the merch and don't support new things cause it just lines that hateful transphobes pockets so she can continue to use her wealth for evil.

Here’s “Basket Case” except it’s about why you shouldn’t use Face ID or a thumbprint to unlock your phone

You have two wishes left

My boss lost money in stocks but is looking forward to cheap luxury goods because of the tariffs (We're Australian) I pointed out that what was more likely to happen is that everything would cost the same but the companies that make and sell luxury goods will let go of workers.
