Doing a small curiosity poll of my ovary-bearing followers. Raise your hand (like) if you have received any of the following guidance from a medical provider related to menstrual care: - Lose weight/"diet and exercise" - Take ibuprofen - Use a heating pad - Reduce stress
silly slice of life anime gets hated on by a lot of people because they're almost always femme-centered and people are (consciously or subconsciously) dismissive of it because of misogyny

Today, August 4, 2026, is the setting of Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” about a fully automated house continuing on after the family who lived there and the world around it died in a nuclear blast.
@lolzygag.bsky.social messaged me a while ago to say Aftertaste cracked her egg. Last night, she wrote, "This book tricked me. This book made me laugh. This book made me cry. This book made me scream. This book made me love. This book made me feel. This book broke me. This book saved me."
when it's late and you're sad sometimes you just gotta get in the bathtub and stare at the tile and think "man i should really clean this tile, what am i even doing with my life? why am i like this?" and then you sink your head halfway under the water and blow bubbles because you are an adult.
for the just getting out of work crew on the east coast, one of my incredible partners could use some help!
Iceblue the Kitten Daddy@icebluetv.bsky.social · 2d agoHi, yall know I don’t like asking for help, but sometimes you gotta suck it up. If yall could repost and get eyes out, I’d very much appreciate it. My car battery is essentially dead or it’s literally on its very last leg. Took me 10 minutes to get it started this morning ko-fi.com/iceblue_/goa...
what do we think, impromptu body doubling stream while i work on making a baseball scorecard in canva?

Dr. Damien P. Williams has to go the way his blood beats@wolven.blacksky.app · 2mo ago…Are you kidding me? This country's treatment of voice actors is fucking abysmal. Aqua Teen Hunger Force essentially built Adult Swim, & if there were any justice, Carey Means shouldn't have to work another day in his life. Between this & Andy Merrill's trouble, i just… what the fuck. What the fuck.

the people you hurt, even unintentionally, don't have to hear your apology if they don't want to. they don't owe you that. so if you reach out to apologize and are rebuffed, just take the L and move on. we all take them sometimes. if you can't respect that simple boundary, that's a huge red flag.
tune in very late tonight/early tomorrow to watch me and @artemisfallen.bsky.social play jeopardy!

I get it, and it's nothing the artists or writers have done wrong, but I just hate seeing long, apologetic hiatus announcements. Ma'am, that is simply not my business. Take whatever time you need for whatever reason you need to. I am not your boss. Please never apologize for not being healthy.
