Hello yes hi. You might remember me from other social media networks Stormo or some variant thereof.

Anyway I’m a girl now so that’s cool.

I’m currently unemployed, looking for work either writing or in customer service (but I really want to move away from that).

We can be friends if you like.
So 2025's undisputable game of the year, Ball X Pit, has just had a huge update and is 20% off on Steam, so there's literally no excuse not to pick it up.

There's an ambulance outside, and for once it isn't for me or my Dad.

Street Fighter II and Soucalibur are only eight years apart, the length of time it now takes to almost make one game before it is cancelled.

So the good news is that, by leaving the flat closed up and running the fan all day with no one here, it was a nice, cool 32 degrees inside when we finally got home.

"Across the country, renters are living in properties with no insulation, poor sealing, broken or inadequate fans or no cooling options at all. Others technically have air conditioning, but they are in such extreme rental stress they can’t afford to turn it on."

Some are trapped in a vicious cycle: rising rents, rising energy bills and falling standards. But this is not inevitable

I want this post enlarged, laminated and distributed in bulk wherever Bovino goes for the rest of his squalid little life. He should hear it sung by crowds every single day, like he's Elizabeth II wanting to blow her brains out after hearing God Save the Queen for the quinvigintillionth time.

after having to use a project management app on my phone for one week i can feel myself becoming more hateful and scorned, as if the concerns of the earth interest me no longer, and the only thing that matters is more power, more control, all for me

part of this is like, conservatives projecting; part of this is conservatives unable to imagine politics without money; and part of this is dudes who are so out of touch with feminized labor that they think children's birthday parties exist as a spontaneous act of parthogenesis
I mostly just stay off Twitter altogether but after double checking that the Walter Hudson post was still up I ran across this and just had to share so the Romancelandians who bought hand warmers could hear about the PROFESSIONAL GRADE LOGISTICS.

Big day for the understanding of the #AtlasNetwork in Australia. Thanks to Gareth Hutchens and the ABC for publishing the story (and the namecheck 🫣).
You can’t understand the last 50 years of Australia’s history (closer to a century in quieter ways) without this.

Ah yes, Serco, the company known for *checks notes* operating inhumane offshore detention centres and providing training to ICE agents. That's exactly who our government should pay to help with NDIS case management.

As an asthmatic, it's rough.
So in Melbourne the air smells of burning eucalypt forest -- has since at least midnight -- and visibility is maybe 2km.

It's not good.
