Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

Fun lil game is seeing a skeet and trying to guess “U.S or U.K”

Coming up tonight: another PokeWilds stream.

At this point, we're basically just exploring a fresh world, and seeing which Pokémon we run into along the way. Another pretty chill session planned.

Meet the ‘sickfluencers’ of TikTok – and don’t be fooled by the outrage obscuring the real scandal | Frances Ryan That desperate people have to look online for help accessing disability and sickness benefits is what should truly upset us, says Guardian columnist Frances Ryan

If you missed it at the weekend, I wrote about “sickfluencers” - the right wing media’s new way to vilify disabled people. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It's been a long day, but we're still on tonight for some single player goofing around in Project Zomboid.

When we left our guy, he'd just driven out to the lake south of Rosewood for some fishing w/ all his haul from the bar raid.

So about ten years ago I found a small network of bots on Reddit dedicated to spreading hate. The thing about it is that these weren't even responding to political topics - they were just responding to random keywords with insults and hate.

The same bots are now here. You should understand why. 🧵

Noticing some repeating themes here, but hey. This stuff does seem to cluster.

I think I'm going to have to call off tonight's scheduled Project Zomboid stream, after I got woken up early by some stomach issues (now resolved!). Just too tired.

If PT earlier in the day doesn't wipe me out, next up should be PokeWilds on Tuesday the 10th, starting at 10PM CET / 4PM EST.

Just 14 sleeps until the daylight lasts longer again.

Sad people often hunt for things to be offended about, because it allows them to direct their life’s frustrations toward a tangible target. So when you post something innocuous, and someone interprets it in the worst way and lashes out, chill, for they’re probably just unhappy with life generally.

I haven't been around the site formerly known as Twitter for a while now. But, finally getting going over here. Glad to see you Twitter peeps again! Looking forward to seeing more from y'all. And hopefully I will start posting more again now.
