Welcome to Bluesky, Twitter refugees! 🙂 Methinks you have a thing or two to learn as you explore your new home 😜 We call posts skeets! 😂 There's no ads... yet! 😅 A few people can't take a joke, but that's alright 🙃 you're also allowed to threaten the mods with hammers 🔨

So I want to make one thing clear as the new Pokemon game releases today

I very much love the game and I am open about criticisms etc.

However what we will NOT do is comment anything mean to those who will enjoy the game

Every since SWSH the fandom has divides which is sad to see

Lets be kind ♡

I cannot stress enough how important it is to do silly, frivolous things that serve no other purpose than making you happy.

OK im making a Kamen Rider question post:

What is your favorite BASE suit?

For me it was ALWAYS be Saber! Not gonna lie, the reason this show has stayed glued in my number 2 slot was due to how consistently GREAT the suits were.

I cannot stress enough how important it is to have a hand hobby, something that you love to do that you find fun and fulfilling that also requires use of your hands and attention so that you can’t multitask by doomscrolling at the same time

it genuinely is important to still have hobbies during a fascist takeover

don't let nazis take your humanity from you

being a well rounded person is crucial for mental maintenance

Had to go to Starbucks to meet with my program director and discuss my letter of recommendation for grad school. I haven't been to one in around 3 years, but apparently they removed their open-door policy. You now have to buy something to stay or use their "free" Wi-F. It's so ridiculous and stupid

Ngl I've never understood utilizing blockchain or blocklist apps. I can kinda see how it could be helpful for someone who's dealing with targeted harassment, but they don't really seem effective for curating your feed. All you end up with is thousands of random and unconnected accounts being blocked

Objectively they'd probably be more like high B, maybe A, but I have a very strong attachment to them and a lot of great memories. It has some of my favorite Pokémon in it so even if the games kinda fall short the gen as a whole I really love

Primarily going to be in Helsinki. I'm visiting my girlfriend who lives there and going to see a KAJ concert together, but I'm going to be there for a week so I might explore around other cities if I'm able to

Our Short-Term Residential Therapeutic Program is closing at the end of the year due to a lack of funding. STRTPs are a far more ethical and helpful resource and treatment option compared to mental asylums, yet they're being cut across the board in order to keep pushing to bring mental asylums back

I wonder what the weather will be like for my Finland trip maybe I'll get luck and catch some early snow

This is not just about it being connected to Three Houses (though that doesnt help the matters) this is about certain parts of the fandom will hate it because they have a very skeeved view of what Fire Emblem is or what it should be.

We're sorry for being excited about the new Pokémon but don't shit on our interests if you don't like it

Such an asshole move

Will always be my favorite Kamen Rider. As a Build fan, I'm very happy it was voted everyone's most favorite in America.

TEAM BUILD FOREVER!

Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

Had a very interesting activity at work today. A group discussion on how to distinguish between if someone has a paranormal experience vs an episode of psychosis. Similarities between them, cultural/religious context, level of distress and impairment towards individual along with intensity

Doodled random stuff and ended up coming up with a character design that could work perfecttly in a story driven rpg maker adventure horror puzzle game.

Commissioned @lovebunchy.bsky.social for my version of two Fodlan characters. Lady Beatrice Von Albrecht and Viscount Elidure. :3 really like how these turned out. Also the design of Beatrice was thanks to a commission with @elbuenchadou.bsky.social.
Please consider supporting both artists.

People who are competitive about liking stuff has always been fucking weird to me. Yes, we both think -insert blorbo here- is neat. Making me out to be an inferior fan compared to you doesn’t impress me.
