Tumblr post by SongOfSaraneth datedMay 12:

every time I ask people if they do any new years resolutions it's all ooooo, I don't like making them because I fail, or ohhhhh no I couldn't keep up with that, and then when they ask me and I tell them about Pasta Quest (I am eating as many different pasta shapes as possible in the space of a year) or when I did Fruit Adventures (every time I saw a fruit I had never eaten before, I'd get one and eat it and read the wikipedia article about it), they're like, hang on, I forgot you can make Fun Ones; I want a fun one.

A Moomin style figure pours tea in front of a window. Text reads: 

Excuse me - but I will not slay, or crush, or take the new year by the horns. I will welcome her in, and offer her tea.

I certainly hope he is rebound free. Paxlovid kept me out of the hospital but it sucked in every other way.

re: all the awful long covid effects ppl are dealing with, the current conspiracy theory I have and cannot shake is that this is true for a whole host of other illnesses and long flu etc have probably been a thing forever, we just never paid any attention to longterm effects till rona came along

Youtube cracking down on adblocking software to force people to watch ads and in the process making ad blockers better and still not getting people to force-watch ads is the most predictable outcome ever

My husband grew up with a mother who quilted. He learned that lesson very early.

FABRIC SCISSORS CANNOT BE USED TO CUT ANYTHING OTHER THAN FABRIC.

Not paper.

Not raffia, twine, or other binding materials.

And oh HELL NO are you cutting that piece of wire

Punishment shall be swift, severe, and include access to only "safety scissors" from that instant forward.

In other news, my coworkers got to see what Iโ€™m like after getting IV steroids (which didnโ€™t help the migraine Especially when I asked them how to word something in order not to tell the person that they are a total idiot and asking for that is grounds for termination.

I'll say it again, if you've reached the point of "kill the children and bomb the hospitals" it doesn't matter how you got there, you are the actual problem with the world

Hard to think of a more comprehensive way to alienate the Global South than to touch down in a war zone , be asked about one of the most horrific incidents in the whole world and start talking about "the other team" like you're at a hockey match. Just an epic bag fumble

So a lot of people who are in unstable, abusive, and/or periodically violent living situations keep cell phones hidden for emergencies.

If you know anyone in such a situation, make sure they know about FEMA's testing of its Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) system next Wednesday.
