AuDHD, NB. He/they, ish. Mostly here to heckle my wife. Rock nerd. Book nerd. Nerd nerd. Climbs trees for fun & money. ~~ BIPOC lives matter. Trans lives matter. Disabled lives matter. Sex work is work. Wear masks, please. Esp at protests & Pride. 🔞
Reading an academic article for school and just managed to read "postcolonial reflections" as "postcoital reflections." Friends, I cannot overstate the take I doubled there.
If you want a shot of adrenaline when trying to get shit done after health issues, I cannot really recommend "find your jury summons 30min after you were apparently supposed to appear in court," but it is effective.
Thinking about how millennials would probably unironically love the shit machine that makes shit, and probably spend money on it just because it's funny, if they just acknowledged that it's shit and left it there without all the plagiarism or data centers.
Was just presented with the thought experiment "what franchise would you bar a person from?" and without skipping a beat or waiting for the rest of the context I said Nestlé. Feeling very proud that I immediately landed on what is simultaneously the most evil *and* the most ethical answer possible.
Putting my wife through the mortifying ideal of being known 😌
They’re basically admitting that creating nonconsensual deepfakes of women is not an unintended outcome of this technology but rather its main selling point, which some of us recognized all along
Jesus Christ, this is more dystopic than anything Philip K Dick ever wrote but it’s what the Russo Brothers want for your AI Slop future
Reposting because "hope takes effort but putting in that work is actually my duty" hit me hard and needs to be shared
i am a depressed lady whose brain is glued together with effexor and vyvanse. hope takes effort but putting in that work is actually my duty. my ancestors did not survive for me to give up on the generations down the road.
if for no other reason, living as well as one can is the best revenge & taking time for rest or joy is a part of resistance as it makes it harder for the bastards to grind you down i’ve worked with patients that fuel their recovery with spite & i’m here for it
people still want to act like nihilism is cool but it is actually bullshit compliance. humans are not going away. we get to decide if future generations suffer or if they live free. hope is punk as fuck. our oppressors want us to believe we have no power and nothing is possible. it’s not true.
So a person I've known for many years traveled to my town this weekend to work with me. I was meant to be paid for this work.
I currently have so many questions about what people think are norms/acceptable behaviors when staying at someone else's house.
Me trying to name American mythology: "The, the apple man? Or the blue bull? The train guy?"
I just wrote a story story and feel really good about it. It's been a long time since writing fiction flowed and felt natural. Anyway I think it's really fucking funny that @anaisl.bsky.social is next to me writing romcom and I'm writing the bleakest shit imaginable.
"Tell me all your crimes, baby child." - My loving wife, to the cat doing biscuits on her stomach, just now
"If you don't want me enjoying your misery, don't make your misery so funny." - My loving wife, to me, just now
"Red states" don't exist. Politically disenfranchised and voter suppressed states exist. It is not coincidental that these states have enormous Black, Latino, and impoverished populations. And yes, this does make it racist to argue that "red states deserve what they get".
Left: How people think Mississippi votes Right: How Mississippi actually votes
@anaisl.bsky.social your kindle sleep-screen ad is yelling loudly at me about a book called "Motorcycle Daddy"
I have provided adequate enrichment for the creatures I nurture in my home and all is well 😌
Remember when country music was made by people who hated cops, opposed imperialist wars, and also were good at writing songs? Shitty post 9/11 country music can get its pickup truck off my lawn. youtu.be/MmjnQjRvPUQ

I really hate that most young people just think of country music as the pure slop that's been served up the past 20 years. Sexy tractors and mud on truck tires? Pure generic shit. Country used to be good when I was in young. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zj6_...
It's valid to tell people "I have plans" if your plans are to sit on your couch. That's a type of plans
this is like the thesis statement of our times
All the wrong people have imposter syndrome.
The difference is really about whose needs we consider normal and whose needs we consider extra.
if you don’t learn from billy joel’s ‘we didn’t start the fire,’ you’re doomed to repeat billy joel’s ‘we didn’t start the fire’
Disability accommodations are a rare thing that actually trickles down. You like curb cutouts? Auto-opening doors? Jar openers? Ramps? Hand rails? YOU’RE WELCOME Even as an abled person you use disability accommodations every single day. Supporting accommodations actually helps everyone.
That’s why ALT is so great, it helps everyone!
Realizing that I get the same "ah yes good, I have provided enrichment" endorphins when I hear Ana using her trampoline as I do when I hear Lucien using his wheel.
It's trampoline time
I don't want a PhD just because I'm nonbinary, but I don't *not* want it for that reason
This brought to you by: I did not expect this volcano movie to have a full on exorcism in it 🤯
"Look, she was floating off the bed. If the volcano spirits want to say hi to the moon then the volcano spirits want to say hi to the moon."
