Tonight's horror movie was one where they never really explain what is going on, & my brain is trying hard to make sense of it all. I mean that as a compliment. Y'know, some just end & you're done, your brain says "cool story bro" & that's that. Sometimes though the brain says "wait, I need answers"

Because it apparently bears repetition:
You do not make fun of people for things like their weight, height, voice, baldness, ancestry, etc.
Even if they are horrible people. That is not a get out of jail free card.
Pick something else. Preferably in the actions or thoughts zone.

This is the digital version of thinking everyone should work a service job for at least six months, and I couldn't agree more. You learn SO MUCH dealing with the general public, and you'll never look at the people doing the work the same way again.
I think we lost something when way fewer people online as a proportion of the whole started to have direct personal experience of moderating a forum or online community - though at least Reddit still exists
I can really tell you didn’t grow up on Internet forums if you’re shocked and indignant about “sometimes even human moderators make capricious and inscrutable decisions that you don’t like”

People are in denial about how quickly they could become disabled, unhoused or food insecure
It can happen to anyone & it can happen in an instant
Folks act like those receiving assistance have failed
That they should “try harder”
The system is rigged. It’s failed us, not the other way around

Performing Squishmallow surgery. Since my dog decided to tear a big hole in this plushie's back, I decided to upgrade the innards while I'm patching it up, so it is receiving a rice bag implant for weight & some rubber bands for stiffness.

In case you haven't thought about it lately, I'd just like to point out that pixel art hexagons are hard. Small ones are essentially not feasible. I am a frustrated crafter.
