I'm tired of seeing how every corner of the internet has to be safe for children. It doesn't. It shouldn't be. Keep those kids off the web, it's unhealthy for them. Let adults have their space. How about instead of asking us for ID like we commited a crime, you make the spaces we use 18+?

It's wild to be a few years into a society wide a.i. smash-and-grab project and suddenly say out loud that maybe they might need to come up with a use for a.i.

Whoa… it’s somehow both Very and Very Not Japanese, how interesting!

i would like to live in precented times please

3 hour delay? Oh nooooo 😑

I’m calling HR about my coworker, this is not work appropriate behavior.

I’ve often struggled with being an active participant in platforms styled like this. I hopped over from Threads, and I’ve noticed a similar tonal shift.

But the same thing is happening on Threads too, as well as Instagram, so I don’t think it’s just the algorithm. Maybe just really shitty times. 🙃

Skofield’s Drifters confront “Mild” Bill and his rogue Texan militia, who trespassed in the irradiated forests of an NCR-allied territory.

What a front cover...

Oh, right! I should post something here.

Behold, my attempts at being less shitty at cooking:

i try to talk to strangers on the internet like we are chatting in line at the grocery store together. some of u talk to strangers on the internet like you are having active road rage at all times

I think about this tweet constantly

YES PLZ

I just learned there is a new flavor of gluten-free cookie, and I am JUICED to try it out!

You should have a website I know. You already have a social media account. But you should also have a personal website. Here's why. You control your website When you post on social media, you are subject to the whims of whoever runs it. If you get banned, no one knows how to find you. If the website gets sold to someone who sucks, you cannot transfer your identity somewhere else. If the main algorithm that people use to find your posts starts suppressing your posts, you have no backup plan. Social media leaves you bouncing from one enshittified, corporate-owned app to another. Your website is your fallback plan When your favorite social media website gets bought by some asshole with more money than sense, you are going to be left holding the bag. If you have a website, you can link your social media profiles on the website, and build up a reputation as having that website so people know where to find you if your current social media implodes. You will feel better if you have control over your technology I'm a glass artist. I use a kiln about 3-5 times a week for my work. A few months ago, my thermocouple broke. I don't have a place in town that will repair kilns, and anyway, it's too heavy to move around. Luckily, kilns are meant to be user-serviced. The thermocouple popped out, I ordered a new one, and I did a little work with a screwdriver to get the new one in place. And you know what? It felt great. Because it gave me a sense of agency

Behold my favorite elderly pile of fried chicken, Kaiser, clutching my sheepskin blanket like his unburdened life depended on it. ❤️

Can’t wait to be back out there on Kepler 609c with my 86’d crew! 🤩

We gotta plan more shenanigans, @brynndlebop.bsky.social!

YouTube video by Neotropolis Neotropolis is so much more than a cyberpunk festival! Immersion beyond your imagination (official)

Neotropolis, one of the things I produce and enjoy, that YOU can come experience in April.

That escapism I was talking about? Yeah. Celebration of art, storytelling, and community? HELL yeah.

They haven’t. I could probably force the issue, there really -isn’t- enough in-person work for two of us at the moment.

Frustratingly, I -do- end up more productive when working around others, so blanket WFH isn’t ideal for me. 🙃

Keep on keepin’ on.

Now my commute averages 1 to 1 1/2 hours, often through bumper-to-bumper gridlock on the 101. And there is no convenient way to get to Caltrain, and it would take longer anyway.

I just miss enjoying the act of getting to and from work, instead of enduring it.

Being able to take my Onewheel to work, or the bus when it was raining, and have it take 30 minutes or less was the height of civilization for me.

Eeeeee… I’m sorry, I didn’t know. Call centers, especially -sales- call centers, are literal hell. 😞

I’m glad you escaped, though!

That helmet rig and neck armor make your figure look so top heavy - is that a concern for this build? I dunno about SCP lore, aside that it exists, lol.

What zone? Is this a team management thing, maybe? Sounds like job trauma, regardless. 😅

Just trying to do my silly job, while I’d rather be wearing other things and be in other places, times.

Meanwhile, it feels like the world is burning down.

MAN am I tired of the Millennial Experience™️.

This was my one of two places I would take myself to lunch, back when I worked from home. And almost always a meal half this size, lol. It’s about 1.5 miles from my door by foot, so it’s perfect for an hour lunch; walk there, quick bite, walk back.

I dunno what to use Bluesky for! So, uh, I guess I’ll start just putting up pictures and chat about? lol

This is the nearest sushi place to me! It’s pretty decent, and while the rolls don’t really do much for me, most of the nigiri is good. I like their rice, too, but their hot sake is pretty bad

Man, I -just- started vibing with Threads after the algorithm blindsided me with the election. Then Zuckerbug decides to appease the shareholders?

What's that old Firefly song?

"Burn the land, Boil the sea,
But you can't take the Sky from me."

So here I am instead, haha.
