Like, sure you don't like reading. Just say that then and don't say the game doesn't have a story.

It would be dumb to say a book doesn't have a story when you didn't read it; this is similar.

People complaining games don't have a storyline while admitting they skipped all the dialogue 🙄

Bam!

Brain Texture Tarot A Tarot for the neurodivergent! Bright and beautiful shapes bring feeling to the surface and spark deep, meaningful conversation.

There's this unique tarot deck meant to seem like it's pulled right from emotion and subconscious thought on Kickstarter and it was made by a friend of mine. If you are interested in tarot you should check it out:

Omg I misspelled "four" 😭

Doomscrolling includes less doom if you also follow cat content.

My feed is like three or for independent journalists doing the hard work of finding and reporting what's going on in US politics...

...followed by an adorable cat photo by @catsofyore.bsky.social

Both are necessary content to me.

I still follow politics pretty closely, and I have two different bsky accounts dedicated to sharing what I find (one for national politics, and one for local politics)

If you would like to follow either or both of them send me a dm.

Any confidence I have right now comes from these recent reminders I've had that, in general, people ARE good. Not just my friends or family, but ALL PEOPLE. We CAN trust each other.

Anyone who says otherwise is scarred or has an agenda or both.

These events aren't full of red-eyed mobs who are one step away from burning the city down. They are just people, of all ages and backgrounds, who are trying to do what little they can to help others.

That's why it sucks when news goes about fear mongering. It's alienating people.

I suppose I don't want to be a source of negative energy, perpetuating depression in doomscrollers.

Listen, if I have learned anything the past couple weeks it's that there is more love out there than anger. It doesn't seem that way but it's true.

From the SaltLakeCity community on Reddit: Driver tries to run over protester Explore this post and more from the SaltLakeCity community

News is saying Saturday's SLC protest the person driving the car who drove into the protestor "may have been intimidated because they were surrounded".

This isn't true. We have a video. Protesters didn't surround them or touch them until they ran the person over.

Right now BlueSky is a great, more secure option for social media. Unfortunately it is not as secure as Mastodon, however. If BlueSky gets compromised I recommend moving to a Mastodon server.

The app SimpleX Messaging has been brought to my attention. It uses the same protocol as Signal AND is decentralized like Briar. A little more complicated to set up but it does not require any personal information or even a phone number. I'd say this is our best option now.

I wasn't that shocked when I found out about this. Park rangers have been screwed over for decades.

Your skills seem effortless to you because you’ve taken the time to hone them. Just because you can’t see that you’re great at what you do doesn’t mean it’s not visible.

Proud to have been a part of this. There IS still a United States. United in the ideas of Freedom, Democracy, and Justice for ALL. And we are rising against an administration who wants to rule without checks and tear us apart. To protect one another, we stand together.

Windscribe is one that I've used before. It's free and fairly easy to use

Another great app worth mentioning is Aether. If you would like to create a Discord-like server where you and others are truly anonymous, a Peer-to-Peer server is fantastic. Just remember anonymity means anyone could be anyone, so this is less "secure" and more just "private".

Telegram and WhatsApp are NOT secure, even though they tout themselves to be. Their companies can still identify and use your data and there are countless examples of government agencies catching up to groups and individuals on these apps. They may have a lot of fun features but they are NOT secure.

Signal requires your phone number as it is your only login and identifier. If this concerns you, use a burner number.

Use a username instead of your given name when asked for a name. Do not use a profile pic that could be used to identify you.

If anyone is concerned about surveillance, the best SECURE messaging apps are Signal and Briar.

Signal is famously the most secure encryption and is run by a nonprofit.

Briar is decentralized so data never goes to a central server, encrypted or no. Only on Android though.

Omg guys Technology Connections swears

Lol, no.

This is the first I've heard of your book but I'm intrigued

I don't get it. What's the rush?

And frankly there isn't much to it. There is still so much potential for the series. I'm hopeful for the next entry.

There is a secret Option "D" where you have spent enough time around me to have heard this quote so many times that it now lives rent free in your mind.
