You ‘run the gamut’ and ‘run the gauntlet.’

You don’t ‘run the gambit.’

gamut = entire range or series

gauntlet = severe trial

Gambit = Alpha-level mutant who can convert potential energy to kinetic energy

I’m late to the KPop Demon Hunter party. Holy crap! That was cool

I can’t believe I didn’t snag a Furpoc room. Ugh.

Once more, for those in the back:

People insufficiently grounded or mature to distinguish between “fantasy I don’t enjoy” and “fantasy you shouldn’t be allowed to depict” will never be allies of more than convenience—a convenience that will always be theirs, and not your own. Do not trust them.

I have a ten year old one and I love it

Looking through dead group chats, silent dms, old interactions. So much has changed in just a few years. Some I miss, some I don't. Mostly, I feel like I've struggled to create depth and intimacy in the ways I used to with new friends. And that weighs heavier with the ones I've lost along the way.

I have a potential edge case question: Iam looking to submit masks that are technically 3D but hang on walls in a similar depth to canvases in your photo on this post.

Do I need to request a table space like any other 3D piece or may I request wall space? See photos for an example of what I mean:

Hnnnnnnnnnnnnnng

Truly an international treasure who must be protected at all costs!

I have learned so much from her threads over the years

The Simpsons. Krusty the Clown. “They drove a dump truck full of money to my house.”

Whenever an actor signed to a Harry Potter project issues a statement

With enough OwO that word isn’t Rum anymore >.>

I…read that as his body’s physical arms, not his standard. And I was confused.

I'm seeing less posts about the Visa and Mastercard situation and I want to make it plain as day. You need to keep calling and bothering them, and losing them money.

Because if we lose this, they are going to cut more and more from what's available until you can only buy what they approve of.

My dad and I didn’t always get along when he was alive but he almost walked out of a funeral over that issue.

Funerals and memorials are times and places of comfort. They should not be used as an excuse to proselytize.

Period.

Prayers or eulogies that are religious are whatever if that’s what fam wants.

But I’ve been to too many funerals where it became “Who’d like to come down here and get saved??”

1/3 of my comic collection was duplicates, or things I didn’t actually want just bought in the 90s speculator boom.

I have now excised those to people who will give them a better home.

I didn’t need 3 copies of Batman 500 or the DW Transformers comics. Variant covers. Or Iron Man 300.

The thing that bugs me is that people act like an algorithm that’s going to censor them isn’t going to just immediately censor whatever new words we invent.

Not only do I 100% agree with this, but the creation of the word ‘unalive’ is straight up double-speak.

Unfriendly reminder:

“She breasted boobily toward the stairs and titted downward” is no longer satire

Hahaha holy shit

Realizing how old the Arkham games are and how well they hold up makes me feel old but also I want another Batman game in that style.

Can be a different continuity, I don’t care but I do love all four games. Even Origins

drawing of a man laying on bed with an old school phone in hand. he has a speech bubble that says "I'm so confused~ is what i'm buying illegal?" the text on the page says "keep calling and writing until payment processor censorship is reversed. one call a day makes a difference! mastercard and visa's statements aren't good enough. let's keep up the pressure together!"

he hasn't stopped calling~ have you? 🫵

Also, here’s a general reminder:

Psychic powers are not a reasonable expectation of people. Nor is “well everyone* knows so you should.”

*the people on one discord server or in a single telegram chat

There’s a lot of stuff that needs to be said in the moment.

Maybe not always but more than we currently do.

A lot of people are pathologically conflict-avoidant by choice. (Trauma is excluded from my statements.)

Anyway. I’m probably in the wrong for doing it the way I did. I will live with that and try to be better about not creating tempests in teacups.

But it’s kind of like if I went back to the job I quit and saw That Haircut making snide comments about my work friends.

It was over the top and rude of me, especially in public. And not something I’m prone to doing.

I might even feel a little guilty.

But when you go out of your way to be a dick to volunteers, when you could have been normal about it?

I saw red and reacted. It was like 2015 Twitter-Me came back.

I’m usually a nice enough person.

But today I snapped. A decade of being forced to deal with a person and their entitled complaining and I realized that I no longer had to.

So I called them a miserable husk of a Karen who only wants to complain so they feel powerful.

your retro gaming scene if it doesn’t include any trans or queer folks:

“hey guys wasn’t Mega Man 2 cool? wasn’t TMNT the arcade game cool? wasn’t Super Mario Bros 3 cool? wasn’t Contra cool? UP UP DOWN DOWN remember that lol?”

Yes! This!
