Queer people should be allowed to spend HSA funds on haircuts

Went to a Stardew Valley Orchestra concert tonight and I have never in my life seen that many "enby and their boyfriend" combos in one place.

(he went with his enby spouse)

Cannot believe I have to make the case to a bunch of career scientists why percent change should be expressed as a vector instead of an absolute value.

Whether the number changed by getting bigger or by getting smaller is relevant, right?! That *does* seem important, right?!

we’re at the intermission of Hadestown, pretty good so far, but confused as to why they haven’t used any boons yet? not even a Daedalus hammer??

Woof dude this is the worst Covid shot yet

And that's not even adding on how brutal the region's signature debuff is because damn that shit is *punishing.*

So, I do actually think Silksong overdid it slightly with Bilewater. I think this is an instance where the dial was turned past difficult and into the territory of tedious.

Pick 2: demanding/ long runback, gauntlet, boss. When you employ all 3 at once... eh, I kinda think that's jumping the shark.

Suddenly wondering whether Trump is financially invested in monovalent versions of the MMR vaccine, like a bizarre encore of Wakefield's grift in the 90s.

Unsure if they're saying you *are* the whole description or that you are a super conductor *for* polyamorous trans demi wolf lesbians, which is also pretty sick with it

Oh yeah, this feels like it fits our niche perfectly 🤣

Just heard the concept of compersion described as "AOE splash damage"

Just like ChatGPT!

Considering asking ChatGPT to make my writing worse so I'm not identifiable in an "anonymous" work survey

It’s funny seeing all the right wing talking heads try and condemn violence, only to be reposted with screenshots of their own calls to violence.

Your ethos means nothing if your praxis contradicts it.

Well, the fact that Silksong enemies routinely deal double damage has suddenly made me extremely fearless about overcharming in the original game lmao

There's a joke about commenters clutching their Mox Pearls to be made here. Someone funnier than me could surely run with that.

Realizing if I prop my head up with my palm while my elbow is resting on my lab bench, the hum of my mass spec vibrates a B-flat through my body and into my ear.

Also, I think I might be autistic.

Agreed. I find that it's either the cold, clinical output you describe or, fittingly, reminiscent of the "dancing around" that plagiarists use to reword a stolen phrase with ass-backwards syntax.

And this is coming from someone who writes, like, technical stuff you try to reduce writer's voice in!

Dark Ritual: me & the boys will be holding hands., forming a Covenant Ring, to protest girls who only want to fuck the main pirate from the pirate movies

Unstoppably clutch move. Hope y'all enjoy it as much as I have been hooooly

Not only is it Silksong day but also got dropped a new podcast episode from @ifycomedy.com and @ohmyemilylouise.bsky.social?!

Today must be for me specifically or something 🥹

Chicago keeping art alive:

Oh my god the free version of Microsoft Word has fucking unskippaple ads in it.

This world is hell now.

In celebration of Silksong, I knuckled down to perform my very first explosion pogo skip lol

(not my actual footage, source: YouTube tutorial, mathulu)

Happy Silksong

If there was any game that was gonna get me to stream again, it'd be Silksong but realistically, if I make any kind of content out of it, it'll be recorded and edited offline.

Either way, I cannot wait :):):):)

the reptile zoo in washington state is closing and selling their animals if anyone wants to exchange $17,000 for four crocodiles or $12,500 for a two-headed red-eared slider named Pete and Repete
