Day job is all maps and data, then I am freed to wander fandom spaces, write, read, watch stuff, and game.

Comic. [Person sitting at desk with laptop with machine labeled E-21 making “click click” noises on the floor behind] VOICE FROM LAPTOP: Hey all! Does your E-21 humidifier make an annoying clicking noise? Mine did, but I finally figured out that there’s an easy fix, so I made this video in case anyone else… PERSON AT DESK: Oh my god. Yes. *Yes.* [caption] I know there’s more important work in the world, but I feel like these people deserve, at minimum a statue.

If your AI tool is soooo good I cannot even live without it, how come you gotta try to trick me into clicking on it or make it so I can't opt out of it? If it's such an incredible necessary product, how come I don't WANT to use it but am being BULLIED into using it? 🧐

You think you're confused? I'm Canadian, but they gave me an Australian accent. What's up with that? Couldn't figure out a bloody Canadian accent now?

Today’s advice from your Goth Auntie
-Big stretch! Drink some water, take your meds.
-Remember that when all else fails, spite is excellent motivation. Choose spite.
-The Cursed Object has been showing off its prowess at bannister sliding, which means the Lurking Horror is sulking.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are in bed. Green has just woken up, bleary-eyed, while Blue is still sound asleep. Green narrates.
Green, narrating: You might wake up at 5 on a cold, dark monday to the sound of someone scraping frost off their windshield.

Still sleepy-eyed, Green turns towards sleeping Blue.
Green, continuing to narrate: But you are warm, safe and cozy, in bed with the love of your life.

Closing his eyes again, Green cuddles up to Blue.
Green, narrating: One of life's sweet, fleeting moments of pure and perfect bliss.

Blue wakes up, both foxes are bleary-eyed and half-asleep.
Blue: Can you get off me? I need to go pee.
Green, still narrating: Very fleeting.

I cannot express to you how urgent it is that we all loudly and constantly support queer media right now. It is my number one goal for this year, to support and promote as many queer artists as possible.

digital illustration of guinevere from knights of guinevere. she is the head and torso of a doll with an empty expression and messy shaved blue hair. she is laying in a bunch of pale periwinkle irises, in a pointed frame, with bunches by either side of her head. There's bright blue viney guts coming out of the bottom of her ribcage.

a book, with a blue cover and gradient red to yellow font that reads the dad rock that made me a woman by Niko Stratis. it's sitting on a wooden tabletop, behind it are records and a lamp and whatnot.

-Listen to a song you like and dance around. Drink some water, take your meds.
-You have to take care of yourself before you can take care of others.
-The Distant Ominous Music may try some new instruments; be prepared for extra weirdness.

Today’s advice from your Goth Auntie
-Stop slouching, drink some water, take your meds.
-Your worth as a person isn’t tied to how useful you are. 
-The Lurking Horror still hasn’t come up with lullaby lyrics other than “sleeeeeep”, but that’s surprising effective.

Just so we're all clear on this, what percentage of Renaissance painting does @bsky.app intend to ban due to the nonconsentual nature of what's depicted?
