Spoken like a man who has never had to shop for himself.

I was vidding like "I hate this vid everything in it is wrong! I will just rewatch the parts I like and not work on it" and then I did finally work on it so now I'm like "I love this vid and it's really coming together! I will just rewatch the parts I like and not work on it." worst (best) hobby

my favourite thing about hybrid zoom meetings is watching and listening to people eat. love it. definitely want to look at my computer so I can see five people in a room having pizza and talking with their mouths full

I recently recommended The Repair shop to a friend, and they came back like "uhhhh, it's good, but, I have been crying a lot?" and I realized that I forgot to say that yes, I cry at almost every episode of the show where they repair small objects. So that's just a warning for everyone else

oh shit you can currently watch The Repair Shop for free on Tubi and the Roku Channel! Let me please take this opportunity to encourage everyone here to watch The Repair Shop! people come with their Old Items, and a bunch of highly skilled craftspeople fix the Items

not enough people are out here talking about The Repair Shop!!! what about the sacred quality of objects that humans invest with their own history and emotions! what about the value of handcrafting processes that go back generations! what about the rich interconnections between craft and carework 😭

Her concern with landscapes and living creatures was passionate. This concern, feebly called, “the love of nature” seemed to Shevek to be something much broader than love.

[food aversion/food issues] strugglin with the ol' food aversion lately. I made a nice dinner. I am physically quite hungry. I am staring at this bowl of tasty homecooked food to will it into submission. If I keep it next to me long enough it will surely somehow get into my stomach? but how???

I tend to go overboard while visiting my favourite website, the National Center for Home Food Preservation at the University of Georgia. I open so so many tabs. So many jams and pickles and preserves to daydream about. Should I make my own relish? I ask myself, thoughtfully

By far the funniest moment in Homer’s Odyssey is when Circe says, “Shall we have sex?” and Odysseus says, “You just turned all my men into pigs. You have the GALL to think I would sleep with you? Of course I will. Absolutely. But don’t do any weird spells”

Every time I rewatch this vid I think: There should really be a #Steerswoman TV show. It would adapt so well! It would be timely & relevant!

@sandalwoodbox.bsky.social · 6mo ago

Exploration. Discovery. Danger. A Steerswoman goes where she must. The Steerswoman book series doesn't have a TV show or movies (yet?) so I put this together from other sources! Highly recommend the books - they're a lot of fun! Details: archiveofourown.org/works/78622921 Happy #Festivids2025!

yesterday during Wildfire Smoke Hours I needed an indoor activity so I picked all the black currants from the bushes in our backyard (while wearing a mask!) and then made black currant jam. It's rustic (aka, I didn't strain out the seeds and skins) but I did blend it, and it's super interesting

while we're talking about Project Hail Mary, the linguistics in that movie made me want to bang my head against a table. maybe it's better in the book, idk, but it made me long for the higher-order linguistics misapprehensions of Arrival

Can you think of a movie/ tv trope that is a wildly inaccurate representation of what they’re trying to depict? For me, it’s science stuff . They’ll show a scientist and say something like “ he has a ph. D in molecular biology “ and then have him solving physics or organic chemistry problems

Remember Streeting's review into whether young people are being overdiagnosed with ADHD, autism, and mental health issues? Well, the interim report is out, and there's a reason the media are silent on it (spoiler: it proves what a lot of us have been saying all along)

Again, in my experience in education, the best way to clear the LLM bar isn't seeing drafts or notes, looking for common slop phrasing, intrusive surveillance, using AI detectors, or listening to your gut (but they are great ways to punish real human work) but talking to the person who submitted it.

wouldn't it be a blessing if SNW in its entirety was just a retread of the Voyager episode Worst Case Scenario and real Spock and Uhura and all could object to and argue about their shitty characterizations

Liz@lizbarr.bsky.social · 3w ago

Apparently the SNW season 4 finale is titled "Tomorrow's Enterprise", and I hope this is the episode where the gang finds out they're all characters in Riker's holonovel, which is actually a cheap knock-off he bought from Quark. (Rented, actually. Quark pioneered the holonovel subscription model.)

man it sucks to see people blaming small SFF magazines and their volunteer staff for getting got by AI submissions. this is like those smug jerks who think they're too clever to get taken in by phone scams. I get it, man. I'd like to be unfoolable also. but unfortunately none of us are.

I'm VERY glad and lucky atm to have a limited supply of berries and herbs from my backyard and greens from my local farmshare that I can eat without worry, but telling people to "just" grow their own food is absolute bullshit for innumerable reasons that should be obvious to common sense
