Seconding this! The "probably adhd but keeps not making an appointment" part, and the overthinking leading to bringing WAY too many snacks... Laughing to myself through the whole thing while also muttering swears at @thedailytism.com for holding up a mirror to some very familiar behaviors 😅

Just listened to the first two episodes of "Its a Superpower?!" by @thedailytism.com and I really recommend it (ive now subscribed to their Patreon) While the open scene nearly made me stop because of how accurate it is (Sophies apologising is painfully close to home) It is wonderfully done

Narrator: for reasons no one could explain, girls’ participation in school sports dropped to a level never previously seen.

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

The Blood on Satan's Claw (1971)

In 17th century England, a judge is all that stands between a small village and a coven of devil worshipers methodically converting its children.

Happily rewatching Blood on Satan's Claw with #horrorwatch Seen it at least a few times now, always enjoy reading every else's thoughts!

This now is over 15,000 words (I added some completelynew nonsense), and has been played nearly 9,500 times! That's so exciting!

Omg. i will strangle a horse has been played over 9000 times! If you've not played it yet, do give it a go! It's free, funny, and can be played on your phone! Reaching 10,000 plays would be absolutely lovely <3 Comedy! 13.5k words! Real silly ways to die! brainmage.itch.io/i-will-stran...

Yeah, this part's really important. This isn't some retired author saying awful shit in their crumbling mansion with no further effect. The money from NYT subscriptions, games and HP slop is going directly to further our genocide. Now. Today.

jj skolnik@supremenothing.myatproto.social · 5d ago

just said this on another post but it bears repeating: the thing about continuing to give money to any jk rowling properties or the nyt is not that they’re shitty about trans people, which they are. it is that both of these entities MATERIALLY CONTRIBUTE to the legal challenges to trans rights

Also, I cannot stress enough: If you see "AI" being used somewhere, SAY SOMETHING. MAKE YOUR DISPLEASURE KNOWN (NICELY) I get the feeling many are using it (as screensavers, flyers, etc) because they think everyone is— or the business ppl in charge, do— let them know you despise slop, so THEY know

⛧ Mother Suspiria ⛧ (Stina Marie)@stinasdemons.com · 5d ago

At the dentist today, they had a screensaver for patients to stare at... It was "AI." So I asked them to shut it off And the assistant was like, "Oh, you don't like AI?" And when I elaborated/ranted, she said, "Yeah, I hate it." Then the dentist heard us & said the same thing. NOBODY LIKES IT!!!

1. It's been far too long since I actually watched the full video, great stuff 2. Is it just my imagination, or does it start to weave in some musical elements from A Little Respect by Erasure?

My point being, even if I wasn't a goober who is garbage at navigating: I gained a new level of respect for our ancestors surviving without the lumens now available to us, and I see why we have so many spooky legends about forests! #FolkHorrorFriday

"People get a bit funny in the woods sometimes" When camping during the new moon, I almost got lost like 50' from our campsite once. To be fair, my vision isn't great and I had been drinking! 😆 But the dark really was practically eating the (non-LED) flashlight beam 😬 #FolkHorrorFriday

A few more minutes until #FolkHorrorFriday ! In The Earth sounds lile it'll be a good one. CAUTION: I do see the first thing that comes up on screen is a photosensitive epilepsy warning.

forgot to post this earlier this week: i drove through Salt Lake and decided to look for the filming location for CARNIVAL OF SOULS. instead i found thousands and thousands of spiders. ecohorror!

madeline odent@oldenoughtosay.com · 5d ago

Happy Friday everyone, as promised, here is my personal theory on this. I think Redwall takes place in our world, after an apocalyptic event of the nuclear variety caused rapid but varied growth of all animals, including humans, leading to our extinction and their mental development. Okay? 🧵

Reminder that we published an extensive interview with a former editor at The New York Times who laid out, in detail, how the paper's pushing of anti-trans bigotry was both very intentional and directed from the very top of the organization. The NYT plays a direct and major role in trans genocide:

I an convinced that LinkedIn’s “report AI slop” button is some combination of: -Being used for AI training -Targeting wildcat sloppers spamming when they want their official sloppers to spam -A release valve for angry users that they don’t have to do anything about

Back when video rentals were a thing, I'd often hunt out weird movies that I saw "red band trailers" for when watching other weird/cult movies. That's the exact flavor of morbidly curious this is giving me.

I can't believe this isn't a hoax. Hatebeak is a heavy metal band with a unique feature — their lead singer is an African Grey parrot named Waldo. Even better, their album is entitled "Number of the Beak".
