😂

they've made 36 MCU movies since 2008, which seems like a lot haahaha

Thunderbolts* is a refreshing change of pace in the MCU and a quite enjoyable film :)

i just watched Avatar: The Way of Water and i enjoyed it :) not quite as much as the first one though, which is often the case for me when it comes to a movie franchise.

🎶So don't delay, act now, supplies are running out
Allow if you're still alive, six to eight years to arrive
And if you follow there may be a tomorrow
But if the offer's shunned
You might as well be walking on the Sun

right on :) sounds like a lovely time :)

that was during the height of my camping/Burning Man phase :)

well, subject matter matters, so to speak :)

oh yeah, so did i :)

i see they made another game called Herder, and that looks like it could be pretty fun as well, just leading some animals across the lands :)

there's a pretty fun indy game kinda about that which you might like, it's called 'Firewatch'

i call my deck 'Slurms MacKenzie' :)

i'd like to find a paper group that i vibe with :)

One must imagine the protein as happy.

we had to shut ours down after prolonged disuptes with the bar which couldn't be resolved, so that sucks, but munches are super fun and interesting and i hope you find, uh, interesting fun there tonight :)

i don't have a tabletop group, so it's largely been online on MTGA, which isn't quite the same. still, i've been enjoying the Bestest Slug Horror - Toxrill, The Corrosive, and it seems like a bracket 2 deck

introduce yourself with 5 cars you've owned

1. 1986 Camaro IROC
2. 1988 Ford Taurus
3. 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse
4. 2002 Honda Element
5. 2007 VW Fahrenheit (which i currently drive)

1. ex killed it
2. ex took it
3. traded it for 4
4. traded it for 5
5. totaled but still driving, needs body work

play your infinite combo on turn 3 if you want, but i'm just gonna say 'GG' scoop and move on to the next game. i might say "nice combo" but i probably won't. infinite combo games aren't fun.

At this point, if i'm being honest, I continue on mostly out of stubborness and a realistically unachieveable dream. It's funny what we'll use as motivation to keep going in a survial situation.

/end

It honestly makes it challenging for me to trust you to be safe with me, and it's one of the things i work on as a goal for personal development.

Yet, it's hard to keep my head up and keep going through it all.

To be clear, I don't think my cis friends hate or fear trans people - we wouldn't be friends if you did - however the hate and fear of trans people is purely one-sided, and directed from the majority towards the smallest community of marginlized people in the world, let alone the country.

The Atlantic is transphobic trash, just like the New York Times and the Washington Post.

*YOU* might not be a cis person that hates and fears trans people, but there are a *lot* of cis people who do, and are hell-bent on making living our lives hard and difficult or not possible at all.

In Defense of Effeminate Boys If anyone had suggested that I might really be a girl, I don’t know how I would have responded. By Ben Appel

If medical authorities have a rigorous way of distinguishing effeminate boys from transgender kids—or of distinguishing transgender kids from proto-gay kids—they aren’t saying. I have met a number of detransitioned gay men who tried to live as women for a time because they and their families were so averse to homosexuality. According to a 2019 report in The Times of London, staffers at Britain’s foremost gender-identity clinic joked darkly that, as a result of the facility’s work, “there would be no gay people left.” A statement last month by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons noted that there is no validated way to assess whether a child’s gender distress will persist over time or disappear without medical intervention. A lack of good research and recordkeeping means that we may never know how many patients who would have been considered effeminate gay boys not so long ago have undergone medical treatments for gender dysphoria.

Absolute trash. The author did not speak to a single medical professional and the article does not contain a shred of evidence that effeminate gay boys are being bamboozled into thinking they're trans.

i thought so, it's science! afterall :)

today was a day that would have been better with a tight compadre, shared jokes, and a "let's get it done" attitude.

I never understood what was so horrifying about Lovecraft's writing; if a Great Old One appeared to me, I would simply comprehend it.

i just ready a study that concluded squeezing your girlfriend's butt helps relieve stress and extends your life. gonna need to outlive these bastards, so i'm going to need a woman to step up and take one for the team here 🤣

hurray!!!! let us know when you're out and feeling up to it ❤️

we don't choose who we're going to fall in love with...it just happens to you. a happening. i like that. i also happen to think it's fairly rare. a person may have one in their lives, and some lucky few have more. treat your loves with respect, my friends, it's a feeling which may not come again.

billy corgan out there saying that Yo! MTV Raps was a CIA pysops was *not* on my bingo card for 2026.

i know it sounds kinda sad 🤷

i'm trying to be myself as much as i can but i always operate with this sort of restrictive heuristic running.
