Hey. Hey you. Yeah, you.

Stop trying to fight fascism with fat jokes. Targeting people based on weight makes you an asshole, and honestly reflects a mindset that's a lot closer to those fascists than you'd probably like to admit.

weird phenomenon i keep encountering where “writers” correctly identify the soul-sucking danger that large language models pose to their craft, but for some reason have no problem using generative AI to make images. like….are you stupid!!!!

I didn't realize Sabine was over here, but when I looked at her feed ... she endorses the "low white birthrates" stuff, in addition to being anti-trans and friends with noted sexual harasser/friend of Epstein Lawrence Krauss. So, I recommend blocking as fast as possible.

THREAD. When my parents' cat Bridget went missing, my dad, to try to ease his worry, painted her on a variety of historical adventures. These soon multiplied. Significantly.

After much nagging, he has had some postcards printed of this brilliant series:

Me, watching the dog accidentally roll her ball under the couch for the nth time today: You silly billy.

Also me, tipping the mug towards me to see if there's any tea left in it: Ah, dammit!

look sometimes they have rules about if you can get on at the back door/off at the front door and if you have to tap when you leave and trying to remember that is so stressful somehow

It is in decent condition with some scratches. Bought it from Bob's Discount in 2020.

I'm trying to give away a desk and I was forced to redownload the Facebook app in order to actually interact with the Marketplace ecosystem. Holy smokes using FB on my personal account (instead of the burner I use to monitor some area RW groups) really showcases what a brainrot factory it's become

perhaps one of these days i invest in a nicer camera with like actual settings i can change LOL i think ive decided i enjoy the hobby enough

gina ✨ @astrogina.bsky.social · 3d

also i have basically just a fully manual point and click with no aperture or focus adjustment so i can only really get good pics in well lit areas which makes things difficult when i mostly see my friends in the evenings/after dark 🫠
