The fabled Tomathy Steampipe “Bacon & Eggs” story but as a Spotify playlist! Shoutout to @beanskitty.bsky.social for making this!

There are katydids in my goddamn walls that scream every time I make any noise and I'm in hell now.

to the bitch ass who ripped open my amazon package: enjoy the cheap LED lights, they are guaranteed to break in two weeks. you shouldve stolen the expensive unscented branded baby wipes i bought to wipe my cats buttholes instead.

I hated my old job so much, but I think about my customers constantly. Almost all of them were absolutely horrible to me, but I still feel bad that I can't help them. God knows they're being treated like shit now.

every skater is invincible. thats why its skate OR die.

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.

Tapping the sign AGAIN. Asking people repeatedly for alt text just adds MORE CLUTTER for visually-impaired users to wade through, and does NOTHING to help them access the fucking content. Do it yourself rather than being a fucking cop.

Adrienne@adrienneleigh.bsky.social · 2y ago

Multiple visually-impaired people i know have said, repeatedly, that the best intervention for them in cases of missing alt text isn't to scold people; it's to simply ADD A USEFUL IMAGE DESCRIPTION IN A REPLY. If you want to actually help visually-impaired people, just HELP, don't be an asshole.

landlord update: 4 weeks after i reported a bed bug and two years since i reported mice and cockroaches, theyre doing a pest inspection. if these fuckers try to hit me with ANY pest control costs, im gonna uno reverse with receipts for pest control i did on my own.

Hot (probably) take: polyamory is not a queer identity. Yes, many of us are polyam. And yes, it's relating to sex and romance. And yes, it is considered atypical. However, unlike ace, polyamory is a choice. No one "comes out" as polyam, and treating it as a queer identity causes a lot of harm.

The honest reason I don't have microtransactions/season pass/ads/100 DLCs/etc in Balatro isn't just about the ethics of those practices but because when I play other games that have those things it makes me want to put my computer in the dishwasher and set it to pots & pans

if anyone needs some lighter news with all thats going on, i have two amazing kittens and after two weeks: - Terminator 2 now knows her name, and is learning fetch - Aurora Nebbins has discovered the window - they invented a game where one goes under a blanket and the other attacks them

the comments under this are horrifying. so a gay native american man deserves to be shot and killed because [checks notes] he lives in Texas and was a voice actor on a (and i quote) "conservative tv show"? jfc

Jonathan Joss, the voice actor for John Redcorn in “King of the Hill,” has died after being shot by a neighbor in Texas. He was 59

The Last of Us season 2 failed Ellie in service of safe TV

I loved Phil's presentation, as someone trying to get over the paranoia. I don't think I'll ever feel okay again, but I hope that more people understand that it's extremely common, not dangerous, not a sign of filth or poverty, and--if caught early enough--easier to get rid of than roaches.

hey fantastic news despite me calling five times to report a bed bug and requesting repeatedly for pest control to do some kind of preventative measure and being ignored 5 times, the inspection was for every other unit, to look at repairs. nothing else. they didnt even check for leaks.

good morning bsky the property manager is inspecting every unit today so i get to find out if im getting evicted because i didnt report pests in a timely manner (reported roaches and mice 1-2 years ago, literally nothing was done about either).

Just got a text from the property manager that *she* will be doing a "quarterly inspection and leak test"--which has never happened before in my years of living here, so I have a feeling it's her way of doing a pest inspection herself to save money. So fucking stupid.

Property management company has been dodging my calls for a week now. I have heard absolutely nothing about an inspector or exterminator coming, after reporting a bed bug in a tightly-packed apartment building with shared laundry.

even more popular opinion: it's actually not even that many ppl if you think about it. like barely any at all in the grand scheme of things. the global population would not be affected in any meaningful way. it would be like they never existed and very few people would even notice.

it has been [0] days since i have had to teach a british person the difference between being ethnically native to a land, and being legally native to a land. your inability to use context clues that a 5 year old could understand is a product of your colonizing empire. literally read a book.

i just realized that maybe this sounds like my friend said it it was me. however, when i complained about carrying Beef home two miles, friend said, "he wouldn't be Beef if he wasn't a pain in the ass one more time". i miss my boy so much.

I don't know what's the right thing to say when on an emotional support call to get your pet's ashes, but probably "heeeyy everyone, welcome back to my unboxing video" is probably not it.

hey actually fuck neighbors and fuck people because i just found a bed bug in my apartment that i never bring anything or anyone into and i never leave

The year is 1925. Coal miners in West Virginia have organized against the federal government over workplace safety. A prominent antisemitic billionaire automaker has thrown his support behind the German far right, aiding their rise to power. The year is 2025...

NEWS: Thanks to courageous West Virginia coal miner Harry Wiley and his brilliant attorney, Sam Petsonk, over 100 NIOSH workers in Morgantown, WV just got their jobs back and the crucial Coal Workers Surveillance Program will be restored. They took on RFK and the Trump admin—and won. Story soon.

Bills that ban porn DO NOT get rid of porn. Porn, like abortions, moves underground, and any industry health/safety regulations put in place disappear. Women in sex work suffer, and a purposefully vague definition of what constitutes porn will be used to ban queer literature. This is Christocracy bs

are you guys happy now

Shoutout to my amazing workplace for: - understanding that a sick pet takes precedence over work - letting me retake my training because distracted by sick pet and ER visits - letting me cut out of work early to go to the vet - letting me take all the time off I need for bereavement of my boy
