It’s important to take time to relax and decompress after providing comfort😄

In the D&D game I run, the party learned that the board they were traveling on was haunted by the ghost of its late builder.
So they set up an AAC ouija board so they could chat with the ghost and ask if they could help it with anything.

I've sometimes been able to to give away things like that through my local Buy Nothing group on Facebook. A partial bag of kitty litter that my cat didn't like, diapers my son had outgrown, a bottle of stain remover that that was too strongly scented for me.

From the Larchives: The Rocky Horus Picture Scroll. One of my favorite works. I had the assistance of an Egyptology PhD student to translate the Time Warp phonetically. Enjoy :)

I would buy the story of having been young and dumb and drunk and not knowing what the symbol meant a whole lot more if he had since gotten the tattoo removed or tattooed over.
The fact that he apparently hasn’t means that, at the very least, he doesn’t consider it a problem🤨

My brain guilt tripping me is the primary way that I get anything done, so I guess I just run on forks😅

Hey everybody, come listen to my husband geeking out about ASL and sign languages in general on A Language I Love Is😃

Dr Danny Bate @dannybate.bsky.social · 4d

Released a new ALILI episode yesterday, about the show's first sign language!

ASL is the beloved language of Aidan Elliott-McCrea (the linguist behind @wordfamilyfriday.bsky.social), and he gave me both a great intro to ASL and heartfelt social messages too. Listen here:

But some of them understand that they still live in a society and that that is GOOD for them because their money would be useless, otherwise.

And some are completely unhinged.

Ask them why Marjorie Taylor Greene has more balls than they do. Are they gonna let her show them up like that?

99% humiliation ritual. But if you cast enough cover letters into the void, eventually it leads to employment.

Some people find “next chapter plz” comment them motivating, some people hate find them demanding and entitled🤷🏻‍♀️

Your safest bet is to comment on each existing chapter with a reaction, a thought, something you liked, etc. so that posting a new chapter is rewarding for the author.

Depression also doesn't necessarily even FEEL like sadness. Sometimes it just feels like exhaustion and overwhelm. Like a weight your are carrying around or a quiet, clawing desperation.

I feel like this is key.
The question of “Should I bring my dog/kids/grandma to No Kings?” has to be addressed on an individual event level. With over 2,700 No Kings events across all 50 states there is a lot of variation in what going to one means.

It faded very gracefully, though.
Until I read the text, I assumed it was supposed to be light purple.
