Snapped this over the weekend during the Historic Blizzard™, really glad to be healthy so I didn’t miss this snowfall!

is life just a series of days where you're tired in the afternoon and wide awake at night, running behind on weekly deadlines, and seeing pants get slim and big and then slim again over the years until you die?

I need everyone to know that on the crochet subreddit the mods made a big post about how they're taking a week off because there was too much fighting/political posts. so there's currently no mods on r/crochet and people are being absolutely insane

Post from r/crochet that says "mods are gone. All hail Mr. Nipples" and its a picture of the most disgusting crocheted doll/creature thats pink and has a creepy smile and horns and big pink nipples. It's truly horrifying

Been cooking stuff in the spare time I’ve had recently. Here’s one of them: rene.fm/2025-monthly... When I went through a divorce I started going Outside aimlessly and cataloguing music I encountered in playlists. I’ve kept that habit up, but last year was extra special to me so I made posters.

On Jan. 14, our parent company Ziff Davis laid off 5 of our members, days after our successful CES showing as the CNET Group. This is the third round of layoffs since Ziff acquired CNET in 2024. We’re sick of our members being on the chopping block. Read our full statement below:

One day something will happen — a wedding, a graduation, a job promotion, Jake Paul getting knocked out, Andrew Tate getting knocked out the next day — and you’ll want the right outfit to celebrate. Buy that special outfit now, so you’re ready when that next unexpected moment arrives.

Got the coolest care package from Tim Ryugo over at Kodak today! In love with Kodacolor, can’t wait to make some real cool memories with these rolls 🤠

A photo of Kodak swag from Tim Ryugo: Kodacolor 100 and 200 film rolls and a holiday card with a photo of them, Kodak-branded lip balm and assorted stickers (art of Tim with a 🫰🏻 gesture, the Kodak logo and an Instamatic X-25 camera)

Today’s pen tool thoughts: it would be so cunty if a queen performed JADE’s Self Saboteur and let the outro go into Lip Service for a separate queen’s number (yes like so on the album) Idk if any drag performers are on Bsky, but if you are.. you’re welcome

Disappointed to see this. 160 union workers are fighting for a fair contract at Individualized Shirts, a US factory that makes high-end men's button-ups. The managers there have rejected the union's request for fair wages and health insurance. The union is asking for support 🧵

Therapy is crazy because what do you mean I’m now able to clock that I’m sinking into an annual depression because my body remembers the things that happened around this time years ago
