Not enough people are interrupting other's 'thinking out loud' monologues with a threatening "I'M THE HIGHWAYMAN" anymore smdh

I saw two posts about this monopoly thing back to back - yours, and one where someone is detailing how to game the system to get free food once per day lmao

the weirdest thing about this photo to me is that I see a photo of my shoes with rectangular objects in front of it and IMMEDIATELY think it's a pedalboard shot from stage. Like, it takes extra brain work for me to recognize I'm photographing her photos even though I'm the one that took this photo

Photo of me photographing my photos by @curiousquail.com. ❤️‍🔥

I have a constant and prolific amount of photography (and a little bit of writing) that I’d like to share with my friends + a limited audience, but no effective way of doing it. /cont

A grid of eight instant film pictures and one instant film camera are arranged on concrete. The film photographs have abstract light paintings on them, and at the top left edge of the screen I am wearing glowstick bracelets and orange silk pajama bottoms; I am sitting cross-legged and photographing the film photographs with my phone. On the lower center of the photograph are Mike’s green converse; he took this picture.

lmfao this is how I learned about the discord data breach

Discord banner that reads 'We suggest adding a passkey to your account for easier and more secure sign-ins. [Add a Passkey]

I recommended both for EXACTLY same reason!! Buttondown doesn't have a like 'page' the way a Substack does. Ghost I think has everything

Curious Quail @curiousquail.com · 4d

shot in the dark, but any ideas on this?
A non-evil, non-AI ridden 'substack alternative' I guess is the best way to put it.

I just want to be able to have a subscribers-only newsletter + page, and every single platform seems to have issues that are dealbreakers for me (they platform nazis, they platform transphobes, they use AI, they put users’ content into their AI, etc)

I can HEAR this

Curious Quail @curiousquail.com · 5d

I’m BAFFLED by this behavior on all of their parts?? Like - are you specifically asking for their creative input or are they just…doing this unprompted??
