Baby man is taking his job as guardian + nurse very seriously while I’m on Floor Purgatory

The rug is fluffy, I’m surprisingly comfortable, and I use the coffee table as a brace to get up from the floor without asking too much of my back

Behold, my floor nest
I feel a little silly, but the combo of solid surface + heating pad is doing wonders for getting my idiot spine realigned. I walked to the bathroom mostly upright and without the walker, which is huge.
I’ll catch up on sleep when the bed won’t lock me up lmaaaoo

Take a few minutes to appreciate Drew Struzan creating the original artwork for THE PHANTOM MENACE. Truly a master at work.

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

A massive loss 💔

I am in agony, there is no way I can sit or lay or stand that isn’t constant nerve pain, and I can’t get five steps before my spine gives tf out. And the worst part is you can’t really do shit about it besides rest

It’s not that I dislike meat, it’s that the country has gotten incredibly lax on food inspections and safety and a bitch does NOT play with salmonella/lysteria/e-coli/food poisoning of any kind. And yes I know you can get that from lettuce too. Argue with the wall

Chickpeas I love you

According to the calculator I used I should be having approx 110g of protein a day, and trying to up my intake when I don’t really eat meat anymore is a fucking PAIN I tell you what

It's funny how banks have no problem with money if it comes from oppressing workers or destroying environments, but the line is: fraking adult games ☝️

Per Reddit: Steam adult developer in the UK is sitting on a USD equivalent of six figures, can’t find a bank to take his money because the developer creates adult games

I develop adult video games on Steam. I can't find a bank that will actually let me withdraw my money from Steam. Can I get some advice?
Game has sold quite well on Steam. I've got almost £90,000 ready to withdraw after Steam's cut + VAT taken off.

However, it's been 2 months now and I can't find ANY bank in the UK who will let me withdraw my money from Steam.

I've been banned/refused/unable to get a business account with:

Wise
Revolut
Monzo
Monese
Chase
Starling
Nationwide
Halifax
Barclays
Lloyds
RBS

It always comes down to, "Where did you get this money from?"

"It's coming from games I sell on Steam."

"Can we see the store page?"

"Sure."

"I'm sorry, we can't do business with you at this time."

It keeps coming down to a commercial decision purely because I make adult content.

What the hell am I supposed to do? I've pretty much exhausted the whole banking system. I just want to be able to be paid for products I've sold.

I swear the first 20 minutes of a walk are the most agonizing. After that? Something clicks, it’s easy, just moving. But that initial 20 minutes. Humbling

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

I’m also pretty sure that it fell out from my attic, because I’ve had a HVAC tech come out twice in the last week-ish and the attic access is in the rec room, catty corner to my room. Scorpions love basements and attics, so it wouldn’t surprise me

koko @ monhun 🗡️🐉 @synthwavecryptid.bsky.social · 4d

I didn’t kill it if you’re curious, I got a good up close shot to identify it (adult striped bark scorpion, common in central Texas) and then I yeeted it over the back fence into the greenbelt so it can be something else’s problem. Or get eaten by my foxes

If you want to know how my day has gone, it started with finding a whole scorpion in my bedroom in the folds of the comforter. Just Texas things I guess
I’m just glad Cosmo—who alerted me to where it was by smacking the blanket—didn’t get tagged
