Oof, many. Off the top:

“Please forget your scarf in my life and come back later for it.”

“To live in this world you must be able to do 3 things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go.”

DO IT

Meeee but oh god I haven’t started ours and didn’t make one last year ahhhh

home sweet toilet

traveling is great, but there’s nothing like coming back to YOUR toilet 🥹

We are so happy to announce that despelote, our incredible and transportive story game by Julián Cordero and Sebastian Valbuena, has just won an Apple App Store Award for Cultural Impact!

Thank you Apple! Great work despelote! And if you haven't played it, this is your sign… despelote.game

My Halloween costume made an appearance in the 2025 PC Gaming Show (I’d made it anyway, so we kinda had to do this!)

There’s a standard called LUFs I use on the production side (I generally aim for -14 LUFs (don’t ask me what LUF stands for—I look it up every so often & immediately forget)), but haven’t tried on the listening end. RA apps have solutions for Mac (normalizer or compressor block in AH?) but iOS… ??

Calicorn Plush In the game Herdling, calicorns are your companions on the Alpine journey. They are imposing beasts that appear dangerous at first, but turn out to be sweet, gentle giants. Now, you can have your own ...

A box that says “got pastry by Bon Appetit” and “#gotpastry” It’s declarative instead of a question, it’s not remotely close to the original typeface, and it’s also just dumb and lazy

not even a question

Billboard with an older white guy on it that says: Car crash? Let Farah Cook Farah & Farah Tampa Accident Attorneys

FARAH: Your Honor, no cap: it’s lowkey giving criminal negligence.
DEFENSE: Objection, Your Honor!
JUDGE: Let him cook.

The stovetop here has a QUICK BOIL button, but I prefer old-fashioned, slow-boiled water. It’s less convenient, sure, but if you give it time, it’s so much juicier. The water just falls off the bone.

Photo of some cursed shallots that look like somebody grabbed some vertices in Blender and just dragged them out real long while laughing like a psycho There’s a little sign that says they’re called “banana shallots” and another sign that says “product of Canada,” which means we at least know where to look for these sickos

@macaroon1.bsky.social bad news: they didn’t stop at grapes. they’re making long shallots now, tryna give ‘em cute names like we’ll all be fooled

Cockta original soda

so thirsty for

Awww damn, I’m sorry to hear this. I know you’ve been trying really hard. I hope he finds a home that works for him! 😢

if you’re behind, learn both at once (just be mindful of the cord as you’re skating)

Nee loves Polaroids

my only question: sunglasses inside the helmet or outside

Green-tinged photo of a Polaroid featuring drummer Vanny, lead singer and guitarist Nee, and me, bassist, of the band Fox Medicine, standing in front of a van, surrounded by a bunch of my skate friends (aka the Bubblegum Doom Girls). I dunno either, I just keep saying yes to things

see, first they ask you to park skate in the background of their music video, but pretty soon you’re dance skating at warehouse shows and the launch party for a new soccer team, and then suddenly you’re their bassist and doing a Polaroid photoshoot in a parking garage

that’s how they get you!

Black and white pic of a Polaroid of me, Nee, and Vanny

Pic of a Polaroid of Carly and me during soundcheck, resting on a green pool table, with a cue ball and stick

screenshot of Nee’s Instagram story, featuring a black and white photo of a Dutch angle Polaroid of me playing bass and singing. It’s tagged @antichrista in that font that’s almost-but-not-quite comic sans

some Polaroids from the past couple days, from my friend Nee

all of this is true!!

anyway, what else is going on

just screeched "WHAT" so loud they could hear it in Nuremberg

How will YOU be celebrating IDOVM this year??
