Old photo of me as a toddler in the mid 1980s, sitting on the garage stoop and holding a Fisher-Price bubble lawnmower in one hand and the other hand patting a gaggle of tabby and black and white kittens.

I was destined to be a cat lady.

Background noise is immediately less annoying when attributed to a cat

Oh yeah also someone has electricity but my character doesn’t know what that is so calls it “advanced lightning magic” which I now sometimes use accidentally in normal life.

Confuse the normies. It’s fine.

I’m more worried that the dead rakshasa isn’t dead. But I am paranoid myself and my character is paranoid thrice over.

Don’t really need notes to remember that fight though honestly.

Also not especially relevant to the endgame afaik

The only session I have no notes from is one in June 2020 where my character decided we ARE killing that dragon on a poorly-considered vengeance quest.

I was too in character with rage to take notes.

About to read 6 years of D&D notes in preparation for a session tomorrow. It is a good thing I have neat handwriting.

My skin is so dry I get my best foundation recommendations from people with oily skin’s Worst Of videos

It’s been 4 days and I’ve read 4 books. Starting to think I should’ve just set my target at 365 😂

If you know what “if a dog ate a frog” refers to you are probably in the same room as me right now irl

Why is December?

A graphic with an image of a man (Callum) in front of trees. The top text reads: “SNP | By-Election 11th December”. The bottom text reads: “Vote Callum Cox for Whitburn and Blackburn”. Promoted by Allistair Tatton, on behalf of Callum Cox, both at 34 Glenshee, Whitburn, EH47 8NY

I’m stepping up to be your @snp.org candidate for the Whitburn and Blackburn by-election.

West Lothian’s Labour-Tory coalition has been running our services into the ground – I’ve had enough, and I’m sure you have too!

So vote Callum #1 on Dec/11 for a local, fresh and committed voice!

Not often people jump from a rising tide to a sinking ship

Zoom calls make me sleepy

Hey as an autistic person with severe sensory sensitivities regarding food:

Please stop conflating dietary preferences with political opinions.

Yeah that original post was WTF but not everyone who has “never eaten a curry” is far-right: some of us just have actual food issues.

Far-right extremists jailed for terror plots Three Nazi-worshipping extremists convicted of terror offences are sentenced.

Extremely proud that Glasgow has always been and continues to be a sanctuary for people fleeing conflict and oppression. No surprise to see Joani Reid taking a reactionary position. Scratch the surface of one prejudice and you’ll find many more hiding underneath.

Unfortunately we're a very popculture literate species who seem to regressed to the intellectual level of an infant. We can't distinguish between fiction and fact, and we no longer have object permanence

Scottish data centres powering AI already using enough water to fill 27 million bottles a year The volume of tap water used by Scotland's data centres has quadrupled since 2021, figures show.

To the end user, generative AI tools seem instantaneous, easy, free and like they’re using basically nothing.

But AI is so resource-intensive and as it grows, so too will the associated environmental problems.

Out of curiosity, are there any autistic people out there who are indifferent about the smell of cigarettes?

Most of us that I’ve met either despise the smell with a passion, or are smokers themselves; I’ve rarely seen any middle ground.
