Barry bluejeans lives on

An orange tabby sleeping on the back of a gray couch, under a blanket.

This has been Barry’s favorite sleeping spot since our first week together, over ten years ago. He’s an old kitty now, so he gets a blanket.

Thank you! Good to know--I want to support the channels I support. :)

I was just coming here to bring up Unpacking. Jewish, uses a cane, and *spoiler*. Delightful game.

Hey, Jacob--which is better for your channel financially, watching on YT or Nebula?

No AI Lo-Fi playlist 💛🍒🐶 - YouTube Here you can find all Yellow Cherry Jam sessions. It’s our official playlist, and it grows every time we drop a new session. It’s a safe, no-AI space with ou...

If anyone is looking for nonobtrusive background music (Muzak for my fellow GenX crew) that isn’t AI, you can check out this channel:

Ok that is adorable

Counterpoint: if the Prince of Darkness rises from a fiery portal at the Iowa Caucus and declares his opposition to Donald Trump, I will ride to battle with the host of Hell

Agreed. I don’t want your id, I just want the fic. This is, for me, a one-way transaction.

Honestly, my actual take is—not every story has to be posted. If you don’t like it, why put it out there?

(My kingdom for collapsible authors notes, I rarely if ever want to read them.)

So many people on AO3 write and post a story that they presumably want people to read, but their summary is all about how bad it is.

I’m probably going believe them and skip that fic. Save that for the authors note!

I'm having a bit of a McElroy renaissance and feeling those good good 2016-2017 vibes.

and then Justin makes me cry, the big jerk.

every few years I watch the #MBMBaM tv show, and when I get to the last episode I play the game of "Spot My Friends in the Audience".

Found them! Hi, @awesomejuice.bsky.social! Hi, @sarahindie.bsky.social! 👋👋

A listener’s case for giving my new gaming podcast a try

I use Discord under duress, and am thrilled that it is losing money

TIL AppleTv has the #MBMBaM tv show and a) they’re so young and b) I really miss the old theme song.

Hi, good good boys.

If you and a friend had one afternoon to the next day in #Seattle, what would you do?

Comfort Mode and customization in the Quiche mobile browser are life-changing for me and my AVERAGE SIZED FEMALE HANDS. Independent designer, no crypto bs, built-in adblock, a very responsive designer, looks great and I think I finally found the browser I’ve been looking for. @quiche.industries

every time I scroll past this picture, I'm like -- wow, Scully really committed to that haircut

My boss thinks I have a hard time in the mornings, can't wake up, etc., so I roll into work around 9-ish. The reality is I get up around 7am and chill out with the cats for an hour. Highly recommend finding a way to make it work!
(I made a non-specific start time non-negotiable in my interview.)

And what a good time it was.

Book rec--fun light read, link is to the print version but I recommend the audiobook as well, or instead, or whatever.

I get in via the show, so I will look for it! I now remember that I watched Prince of Tennis waaaaaay back in the day, and this sounds very similar! But I will take any and all fic recs, once I get it. (By which i mean I will just hit up your AO3 bookmarks, haha) (And US based, so Netflix works.)

(also my FFXV fannishness is on a wane cycle. It will, like Danny Larusso, wax on again.)

I am here to be dragged. Last time I really got into an anime (idk if that's the right term for this show) was like 20 years ago with Descendants of Darkness--I told a friend "Speak to me of the man with the violet eyes" and then boom. Fandom.

I feel like all my friends (and families with whom they are close) should just pack their frozen bags and move down here. We get hurricanes a lot less often than snow and ice fuckery.

I am desperate for a new fandom.
