Wanna know something fucked up? My dying grandmother refused a milkshake saying her doctor told her to lose weight. She’s on hospice and can have whatever she wants, but body shame is so ingrained that even when she can’t walk, she refuses one of the few things left that brings her any pleasure.

There Will Come Soft Rains by Ray Bradbury

The voice-clock sang, breakfast was ejected, but no doors slammed. The garage chimed and lifted its door to reveal the waiting car. The house sat alone in a city of rubble and…

Literary fun fact: the Ray Bradbury short story There Will Come Soft Rains was set on August 4th, 2026.

after reading what mainstream media has been saying about the valko drama, i think i'm going to start referring to more people as "male gamers"

If anyone uses Stripe to get payments, go to your Settings (Gear icon) > Plans and Fees > Radar (View plan details) > View Plans > Scroll to "More Options" and select "Lite" I want none of the money I earn to go to AI if I can help it.

Listening to the @lionsledbydonkeys.bsky.social Iwo Jima series. My grandfather was there and I have new appreciation for the hell he endured. Numerous stories and photos have trickled down to me, but I didn’t have a good idea of the scale. (He wouldn’t have given a rat’s ass about the fart jokes).

Southwest Airlines really said “fuck you, pay more.” Assigned seating is absurd at best and punitive at worst. I didn’t pay more for better seating and got assigned to the middle seat on last row on a half-empty flight. Was told I wasn’t allowed to move. (There are three empty rows ahead of me)

Today I’m taking comfort from the loss of a Love and Deepspace update that should have included a handsome werewolf CEO vigilante via fanfic, kpop… and the jackass podcast. When did jackass become the kinder, gentler fandom? I don’t know that Steve-O is a reasonable swap for Valko, but 🤷‍♀️

Florida folks: If you have O- blood and are of African or African American descent, OneBlood is searching for donors who have a rare antigen that matches with a teenager with sickle cell disease who needs 50 units of blood so she can have a bone marrow transplant.

if you want to know how serious this is, my work dad texted me saying "i'm team valko" with no other context.

The funniest thing of this whole debacle is currently one of the most popular otome charactesr right now is one that hasn't even released. Even people who don't play want us to get him back.

A brighter day is inevitable not in the sense that we get to just do nothing, but in the sense that everyone who worked for every previous victory felt as exhausted and heartbroken as we do now up until they won, but they beat on anyway, because throughout history those people can't do anything else

On the last day of Pride Month, happy Trans Pride, now and forever and ever and ever, Amen.

You will never convince me they did that accidentally. They were trying to do this. Abolish ICE. And prosecute Jonathan Ross, who murdered Renee Good.
