Picture of my clothes, absolutely coated in little white plastic beads that emerged, parasite-like, from the washing machine drum

To whoever had their bean bag chair (?) explode in the washing machine and then did not tell anyone or otherwise mark the issue: IT’S ON SIGHT

I love writing sff and ending up with drafts of “kingdom x” and “planet y”

Thanks!

Lmao thank you

Not to be a millennial about it but I've spent my day catching up on admin tasks, speaking to a lawyer, calling to make a doctor's appointment, and I think I deserve a sticker for adulting so good today

Agreed with OP. This is for sure informed by the fact that the majority of people I know who don't vote aren't leftists - they're centrists who cannot be bothered. They're white, cishet, middle-class folks who aren't informed, won't be (obviously) affected, and also don't participate in community.

Ahhhh a client just asked me what my pronouns are, genuinely love getting clocked as "probably not cis"

Exactly!!!

!!! Exactly!!!

(This is about the Black Knight from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance)

Me: he’s my poor little meow meow

Alex: he’s not a meow meow, he’s a murderer

Me: 😕

Lmao me trying to explain to the CRA why I'm claiming expenses but no income

Evan we require your face

Matheson Freelancing Post by @sekisetsu.

And now an NSF charge off an unexpected transaction. I am so very tired of 2026.

My overdue rent's grace period is up in 3 days, and with this latest banking ridiculousness I'm shy $600 (CAD) across a couple fronts.

Anyone able to help? I've got editing slots open: mathesonfreelancing.com

I have a great many thoughts on this and I think part of this is that there is a fundamental idea that individuals can proactively prevent harm to themselves if only they Judged Gooder Enough. This also means we actively want evidence that We Are Gooder Judges And Are Safe From Baddies.

Something something theory of mind, which is why shitty people historically have always been very logical and rational and attuned to others

Yeah it's all bad! And "autistic people can be monsters too" seems like a weird take but also I'll take that over "autistic people are too childlike/undeveloped/lacking in Theory of Mind to be monsters"

I find myself falling into this sometimes precisely BECAUSE I learned as a kid that it is Very Rude to just take someone's offer at face value and to say yes?? So I'll default to something like "if it's no trouble" or whatever. Gah.

Welp I’ve just seen the argument “autistic people aren’t sophisticated enough to be sexual predators therefore Neil Gaiman is innocent” which is a fun combo of ableism and apologia

I don’t need to tell people that that’s fundamentally wrong, right?

The "don't read this if you're a minor" disclaimers on fic are so weird imo - I think fanfic is actually a pretty safe way for teens to explore sex/desire! Obviously also get actual sex ed but there's nothing weird about teens thinking about sex, I say as an asexual person!

Chuck has good things to say about IRON LUNG

I also saw it on the weekend and thought it was a really fun little horror movie. All the best parts of a bottle episode + so much fake blood. And while there's a hefty dose of "wtf am I watching" (pos) the beats all still really landed for me!

Whole lot of you following Neil Gaiman, and I assume it's because you forgot you did so and he stopped posting when it was revealed he is a rapist.

Since he's trying to make a return, do yourself a favour and check if you're following @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com and if so unfollow and block.

My MacOS did not update :( perhaps my laptop is too old for rounded corners

I AM MANEUVERING WITH DIFFICULTY

Anyway

I'm lucky enough to not have any personal stories (beyond the usual, constant noise, being always on alert when we had to go out, keeping our heads down to avoid being targeted)

But I know folks who were harassed, who were assaulted

Don't let them memory hole this

Welp facebook memories are reminding me that 4 years ago we were in the early days of the convoy bullshit here in Ottawa

I feel like some folks have forgotten, or maybe never knew, but those weeks were terrifying for those of us living downtown. Those people were everywhere, & they were aggressive.

This is beautiful
