Paper Bhuda is on point. Fuck it. We’ll do it live.

Is there any more important tool to own than a telescoping back scratcher?

It’s the week between Christmas and New Year’s, so I’m allowed to play with my Willie as much as I want to, right?

Yesterday I was driving along, minding my own when a chord change took me straight to the music and feeling of playing Massive Chalice, a game I really love but haven’t played in several years. (That’ll be changing this week!) What game music haunts and inspires you? What are your favorites?

That vibe when you’re juuuust recovered enough from a stomach virus to actually work from home, but it’s the week before Christmas. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Headed to orphan’s Christmas in Mexico with my brother after a few days in Brenham, Tx. #zen #sunrise

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.

They run them bc people react to them the most.

If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.

It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

I've long dreamed of using magic to move objects with my mind.
The older I get, the more I know my dream is fulfilled each time I pick up my cup.

I should’ve pardoned my son too.

I let Jebus go through all that, and for what?

So jelly!

Just a reminder for everyone new to the platform, the only thing that matters here is user engagement, so when you come across a troll or a bot, the WORST thing you can do is argue. Just use the robust block feature or ignore them altogether, and eventually the void will swallow them

As a fellow neurospicy with a crystal ball 🔮 that’s got a ridiculously high accuracy rating, I feel this in my soul. I would LOVE to be wrong… but I’m not. And alas, I don’t need you to agree with me for me to be right.

There are so many, but The Sims is my guilty pleasure.

If you have trouble remembering to drink water just think of yourself as a swamp and the tadpoles are counting on you.

Reminder that your favorite local indie bookstores make a lot of their yearly income during the holiday season.

Go shop local today. ❤️
