Its intro post time! (My first one! ✌️☺️)

My name is Talys (Shorthand of my handle; Said like the first part of "Talisman" or Rhymes with "Alice") though some also call me Kae.

I am a disabled, neurodivergent, and non-binary/queer person in their 30s who uses they/them pronouns.

🧵 Start (1/8)

My Yukinko Snowflake Kakigori Machine was chosen as a winning entry for the Furnishing Design Contest!!! 🎉🍧

The win feels especially sweet because the design was inspired by the machine my parents used during my childhood. We didn't have matcha syrup back then, so we used condensed milk and anko!

A kakigori (shaved ice) machine that is blue and white in color. The machine also has a yukinko snowflake theme. Under the machine is a lacquer bowl with matcha-flavored shaved ice and korpokkur mochi pieces.

To everyone demonstrating tomorrow:

Be safe.
Don't post that you're going.
Don't post pictures during.
And put the DATE on any signs you make so they can't say it's old footage.

Children of Thavnair @thavnaircommunity.bsky.social · 1d

If your Wol or OC has visited Thavnair. What was their favorite spot, location, or sight that they were able to see? If not do you think they'll ever travel to Thavnair? If your Wol/OC is from thavnair do they have a favorite spot to be at?

We at CoT are curious!

My friend’s neighbor’s house fell off its foundation (old steel structure collapsed), and they just did the funniest thing.

US Government accounts have arrived on Bluesky.

Be aware that the DHS account in particular is known to quote dunk on regular people to encourage their followers to harass them.

The detach quote function will come in very handy here…

Artists, I think we totally should draw our OCs holding their chibi selves like this.

A man (Neil Newbon) holding a plush of Astarion from Baldulr's Gate III by its foot and turning it upside down. He's with as if he were picking it up with disgust.

#WOLQOTD with the Halloween event I’m curious to know, do you count the seasonal events as part of your WOL lore or rather something that you do just for the rewards?

I remember getting handed this bad boy when I went to see Pokemon the First Movie in theatres, and I felt like a King

a pokemon card of ancient mew. The card is completely glittering in the background with shades of red, purple, pink and turquoise. The edges of the card are golden with ancient symbols, and there's illegible ancient text that's supposed to be describing its abilities below a golden square framing an etching of Mew. Mew looks like an alien cat standing upright.

Legendary Final Fantasy Composer Nobuo Uematsu says he’s never used generative AI, and never will.

"I think it still feels more rewarding to go through the hardships of creating something myself."

Ideal conditions for starting your passion project will never come. You will never feel skilled enough to make it. There will never be a moment where you stop being scared to start. Do it anyway. Do it badly. Do it scared. Just make that thing that’s clawing at the door of your soul; It wants out.

Just downloaded/installed/used the ✨completely free✨ "O&O ShutUp10++," and disabled a lot of the spyware/phone home/surveillance aspects of my Windows PC.

Clean, compact, quick. Single .exe, no install, one-click "disable recommended" option. Great program.

There’s a free application, shutup10++, that lets you disable all the shitty windows stuff with a series of checkboxes.
It even tracks if windows rolls anything back between updates and lets you reverse the changes with a click.
I can personally recommend shutup10++ if you need to stick with windows
