not to deep it but there's a specific sadness that came with being a closeted trans girl in the 90s, watching the media tear down Princess Diana until it literally killed her. to watch this vision of womanhood and progressivism be torn asunder
why did no one tell me I dress like Diana
social media besides reddit should have downvotes It's not enough to block folks I need to lodge a formal complaint
I know the Adderall is working when I think "I'll just jump in the car now and go to the post office"
my favorite time of night, when the cat stars into her bowl of water

not for nothing but if folks ever talk about how sexless GenZ is, consider the fact that women can't whisper on YouTube for fear of being banned / demonetized. we are all being suffocated by a handful of conservative companies, and it's not even breathplay
a bunch of popular ASMR artists lost their channels forever this week, after YouTube cited them for violating terms against "sexually gratifying" content: www.404media.co/youtube-asmr...
I liked the music in my electrologist's office so much I shazamed it. This was the result. I don't know how to feel about this. Sort of feels like a slur
a local wild rabbit has become so relaxed in our yard we now we refer to them as our "outdoor pet"
this is your sign to love yourself put the phone down, stare into space, and remember that you're great
fun evening activity take a Unisom and then see if you can do your shot before you get too sleepy 🥱💉
I'm like if a witch came from a family of witches but she was the black sheep because she preferred the beach to the forest
In completely unnecessary stuff, I'm going to post assorted thoughts on Itch while I develop South Fork. I guess I can't quite get rid of the memoir ... itch
Choosing Slice-of-Life
South Fork is a slice-of-life, summer vacation, cozy mystery game. Yet up until this project, I thought I would only write science fiction stories. That assumption dates back to my first two failed at...

such a strange piece. I agree with her art criticisms but she ignores how the industry works. all of the books referenced are published by the major houses. whatever judgments the author has about "millennial fiction" (lol) should be leveled at the editors and publishers who make business decisions.
Why So Much Millennial Fiction Is Boring
The generation’s novels tend to focus on the flatness of modern life—but alienation doesn’t have to be dull.

I guess they don't read David Graeber over at Bloomberg. not super surprised
We admire great works of art, architecture and engineering. Why not debt?
today was an accidental experiment in skipping my ADHD meds ... do not recommend ... going to bed so tomorrow is better lol

Okay. What if... what if I put "AI" on my muted words. I'm pretty sure that's the closest I can get to the promised land
"and the other hamburger will ALSO be made out of your lungs!" ... I should do this kind of thread with Sealab
What's a Futurama line that lives forever in your head? Mine is, "Oh, a lesson in not changing history from Mr. I'm My Own Grandpa."
my game is like 90% art and writing (the gameplay mechanics are pretty simple, just normal adventure game interactions). I have no interest in using AI for the artistic components, and the programming feels like fun problemsolving, so I'm not using any AI tools in my game
Hey #gamedevs on Bluesky - what are your thoughts on the use of gen AI for your game? #indiegamedev #indiegames
