Damn. I don't even have my Psychology degree yet, still in classes, but I'm already being told that it's not a real subject.

My disappointment is immeasurable.
My favorite coffee-flavored corporate overlords, Starbucks, have refused to bring back their apple crisp macchiato for their fall menu this year.
Truly, this is the worst thing that has ever happened to anyone in the history of civilization.

I'm very happy that the Big Brother seem to be enjoying BB27. Sincerely.
That said, I'm just sitting here, dreaming of Fiji, waiting for Survivor 49.

Horrible stuff happened in therapy.
I was told that I had to write down 4 things I like about myself.
EVERY WEEK.
Couldn't I just peel my skin off and set it on fire instead? It would be less painful.

Look, I don't miss the mass deaths and all...but why did we have to give up the simultaneous streaming releases of all the new movies?
This is totally a rational question and not fueled by my desire to see the new Jurassic Park and Superman.

I'm no music historian, just a lifelong country fan.
But the cultural image of Johnny Cash as the bad boy of country feels like people who just know him as "The Man in Black" and maybe heard "Hurt" one time.
Listen to One Piece at a Time, Chicken in Black, Boy Named Sue, etc and get back to me.

I don't know when it happened, but as someone who uses Microsoft Word basically daily for work, and who also doesn't want to admit that he probably needs glasses, the QOL update that made ctrl +/- actually zoom in instead of toggling super/subscript is amazing.

New Hades II Update just dropped, so you know where to find me.

I think, even after all these years and reading so many amazing stories, the one short that has stuck with me the most is Vincent W. Sakowski's "Peel and Eat Buffet."
It was so intensely visceral.

Was not, and still mostly am not, familiar with this Mauler fellow, but within ~15 minutes of his clips in the new @agramuglia.bsky.social video, I have determined I would not like to engage with his content.

You mean to tell me she was wearing apple bottom jeans, boots, and a fur stole, not apple bottom jeans and fur-cuffed boots?

Of course there's "discourse" about loved one letters in the Survivor fandom. Every season, some viewers proclaim their superiority b/c surely they would never feel An Emotion™ over letters from home.
Even though without fail, actual contestants have gotten emotional over them. Every time.
