Websites that allow The Slop but let you filter it out (like Cosmos and Artstation) should have the filter turned on by default with a small button that says "SHOW ME THE TRASH!" and when you click it your computer explodes.

"You know you're in for something special when you're making your little mutated rat and you discover that, YES, you can strap on three (3) jetpacks at the same time. This is the high-octane, loaded-cybernetics rat game you've been looking for!" — @mindstorm.bsky.social on the original Cyberrats

I got to pop into Between Two Cons this past weekend - my first con! - and it was pretty cool, meeting people and chatting shop. But I keep thinking about the wholly well-meaning advice I got repeatedly re: attending cons while having kids, which I've gotten online many times before (1/10)

I’m gonna ask for some help. I haven’t done this before and I was trying to avoid but things have been adding up. The birth of our son did not go as expected. We’re all home and safe now but the hospital visit was very expensive. He also had to stay in the NICU for 8 days.
