Smeone saw me in a video today and referred to me as "the lady," was told by another commenter I was a guy, and then apologized profusely for their confusion.

Nice to have an hour spent trying to look as nonbinary as possible pay off in the requisite amount of gender confusion ๐Ÿ˜‚

I absolutely understand and still occasionally entertain the urge to want to purchase a whole case of Magic the Gathering card packs to open them up, see what's inside, and categorize them all.

This is why I have spreadsheets. To scratch that particular brain itch.

It's terrifying and depressing (and obvious) how aligned (and in comms) NACTNZ are with the international right. We must push back against all this. It's so clearly disastrous abroad โ€“ Aotearoa could choose and demonstrate a different path.

Also, omg, each lap is more than a 5k.

I could MAYBE do two. If it was life or death. Or if there was water ice at the end of the second lap.

Wild to even thinking about running in temperatures above 80F when that only happens a limited number of days each year in Wellington at certain times of day.

I want to commentate on a 24hr event.

I miss doing 24hr nonsense.

Might I eventually do a 24hr stream? ๐Ÿค” I dunno, I wear my voice out around the 4hr mark, but that's with me being the only one talking at HIGH SPEED.

One of my uni BFFs is running his first 100 miler @ Loopy Looper, a 3.75mi loop you run 27x.

I turned on the livestream to try to spot him and they have LIVE COMMENTERS (with very authentic NJ accents).

Love that for me. I am intent on becoming their top commenter.

I find for streaming that going through one port it's just not stable to run power, wired internet, and audio in while running HDMI out.

Or, at least, it totally flummoxes my computer if I try to do it all from one port. Could just be that the motherboard on this is a lemon at this point ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

Name a more iconic duo:

Conservatives who are broadly unpopular with a wide constituency of voters including the young, the non-white, and the non rich

Breathtakingly bold voter suppression

just gonna plop the thumbnail about linkedin removing its policy against deadnaming & misgendering next to the thumbnail about linkedin losing federal contracts because of โ€œwokeโ€ and stack them right on top of the thread about the โ€œpreventing woke AI in the federal governmentโ€ executive order.

Anne Frank died of typhus, at the Bergen-Bergen concentration camp. By the NYTโ€™s logic the Nazis did not kill Anne Frank.

You know what is a pre-existing condition that the child here is also suffering from? Israelโ€™s starvation siege.

What absolute monsters

I am wearing 30 different cosmetic products in that photo.

At this point, it's a confirmed additional addiction to pile on top of comics, music, drag, etc, etc, etc.

(And that's without a filter, baby! Go ahead and zoom in on that skin. I am learning my way around a makeup brush.)

Krisis in their home studio earlier this week recording their Top 60 Comics Series of 2025 (so far) stream. They are turned towards the camera in three quarter profile. They are wearing their hair long in curls in a black shirt with a purple paisley print. Behind them, shelves of books hold releases from Valiant, DC, and Marvel.

Is anyone else looking this good while covering every new comic released every single week of the year?

If they are, I wanna see it!

LinkedIn exposes transgender users to targeted harassment after company quietly changes hate speech policy The changes involve edits to LinkedInโ€™s Professional Community Policies, specifically the โ€œHateful and Derogatory Contentโ€ and โ€œHarassment and Abusive Contentโ€ sections.

LinkedIn walks back prohibiting Hate Speech, if you needed yet another reason to stay off of LinkedIn.

The high five is a hand gesture whereby two people simultaneously raise one hand and slap the flat of their palm against the other.[2] The gesture is often preceded verbally by a phrase like "Give me five", "High five", or "Up top". Its meaning varies with the context of use but can include as a greeting, congratulations, or celebration.

There are many origin stories of the high five,[3] but the first and two most documented candidates are Dusty Baker and Glenn Burke of the Los Angeles Dodgers professional baseball team on October 2, 1977, and Wiley Brown and Derek Smith of the Louisville Cardinals men's college basketball team during the 1978โ€“1979 season.[4][5]

saw the new FANTASTIC FOUR movie and was PULLED OUT OF THE MOVIE by the ubiquitous use in the sixties of characters HIGH-FIVING EACH OTHER

the high-five was invented in 1977 by gay baseball player Glenn Burke (and became a gay shibboleth til the straights stole it) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_five

Every policy from ACT ruins our country a little every day. Polling stations should have an air of rejoicing- revelling in democracy โ€ฆ.any thing rhat makes voting harder is a right wing strategy to suppress voter turnout, โ€˜ that in itself is bad. People who donโ€™t think everyone should vote are bad.
