At least it's asking politely. (I'm sorry, it fucking sucks, our meat is traitorous)

"Every other group in the world has a right to its own homeland besides White people?"

Actually, they don't. There isn't a "homeland" for a particular skin colour, and it's insane to think so. The entire premise is a delusion of white supremacists.

It feels genuinely impossible to describe to anyone who doesn't have autism-ADHD complex just how destructive having An Appointment is to my ability to do anything useful

I have things to do tomorrow and my brain has already entered Waiting Mode.

Some pixel art motifs in swirly patterns, consisting of stars and hearts in pink, blues, and white. Text states: Looking for Flosstubers / Streamers who are open to promoting my Trans Day of Visibility Campaign this year! Requirements. I'll send you the pattern & campaign info. Your video should drop during the campaign (3/29 - 4/1). You must have at least 200 subscribers and have produced at least 1 video/stream a month. Stitching the pattern is optional but would be cool. BAD Stitch.

I've designed another pattern to benefit Trans Lifeline and I'm looking for flosstubers who would like to share (and possibly stitch!) the campaign on your videos! Please email (badstitchcrossstitch (at) gmail) or message me on IG if you're interested!!

saw this on tumblr and it's literally so true woah

If I had a nickel for every time Franz Ferdinand was involved in the precursor events of a world war, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice

Did we get through more than one round of combat? No, of course not. There was a lot of RP and we asked a lot of questions and also our one player's cursèd headset decided to act up for half an hour and then our player who doesn't take notes had to be reminded of the entire arc of chapter 1.

NO NO NO YOU DON’T

GUYS LET ME PLEASE SPREAD THE GOSPEL OF FREE TAX USA

federal is free, state is $16, handles even my chaotic freelancer taxes just fine, same step-by-step “designed for normies” kind of interface as TurboTax but NOT EVIL

tell everyone you know

Yes, between work trips and the flu + the return of springtime migraines (if you don't get migraines from pressure and weather changes, you're a fucking lucky bastard), it really has been a month. An agonizing month. A terrible month. Of waiting, forever.

Karmic retribution - we're in the final combat of #InGoldenFlame Act 1, the Priest casts INVESTITURE on the Pyro on turn 1, and then the Pyro immediately tries to AOE our entire team... right after our Gorgon player activated their core power. Promptly failed the saving throw and stunned them both.

@naomikritzer.bsky.social There's a pretty great Tumblr post about this: nitewrighter Mar 26 me: I don't get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now? The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances. Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDIATE NOW. Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.

Posting the sign so I can tap it when necessary.

Just realized that the last time I had a period-tracking app on my phone, that phone was an iPhone 3GS. I don't know what to do with this information.

Anyways birth control should be freely available to anyone who needs it for any reason, including controlling their periods.

A cross stitch project on bright yellow fabric, staged with moss, bobbinated floss, leaves, and flowers. The cross stitch shows two harvest mice, perched on top of white daisies, their noses touching. There's a subtle variegated alphabet. BAD Stitch.

Can you believe this is the first sampler I ever designed? Two cute harvest mice are perched on daisies, kissing noses!

I hand-dyed this fabric using liquid Rit dye & stitched the alphabet and border details with COSMO Seasons.
*nose moosh*

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

A brief guide on writing good alt text for images, which suggests including 1. Who or what 2. Their expression or emotion 3. A description of the image 4. Notable colors 5. Interesting features The included example image and description: "A capybara looking relaxed in a hot spa. Yellow yuzu fruits are floating in the water, and one is balanced on the top of the capybara's head." Dan's addition: saving the "interesting thing" for last is a bit like writing a joke - end with the memorable punchline!

Irregular reminder that alt text on images is a valuable accessibility tool, and also lets your images show in search results or respect mute lists. For instance, I found the below image by searching "capybara alt text".

A photo of a crossstitch piece surrounded by fake plants and floss bobbins. The crossstitch features a frog and beads. The text reads "no frogs given".

No thoughts, just frog.

What in the absolute fuck.

I rode the city bus home from school every day in 2002/2003 and everything was analog, no Google Maps. I knew when my transfer stop was and when my primary and my alternate destination stops were by feel (there were three different busses I could take from the transfer).

Calling AI "slop" has been one of the most effective instances of the public rebranding a product and it pisses them off.

Sure it's sucking the economy dry and a hollow justification for massive layoffs and prolonging our fossil fuel usage and offers a new way to dodge accountability and being forced on us from every angle and *doesn't actually work*, but at least it's massively enriching a handful of AWFUL people.

Hey if you're a bird photographer and you're using AI to "improve" your photos (like the image on the left, that changes the color of the bird, moves the eye, erases the tail, adds extra feathers that aren't there) know it makes me lose all respect for you, for just photo quality purposes alone.

I think mine are generally less spoopy than that

I don't use most of mine tbh, I collect them as art pieces a lot of the time.

I have a Collection. Most recent acquisition is the botanical tarot deck from the kickstarter that just finished. I'm partial to the 5 cent tarot for quick stuff.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

hey, uh, y'all *do* know that chatgpt *is* generative ai, too, right? it's not just art. gen-ai is not just stealing & scraping the internet for art, it is *also* stealing & scraping the internet for all types of written word.

you cannot be anti gen-ai and still use chatgpt. all gen-ai is harmful.

the worlds not over
keep taking your meds
keep taking your HRT
keep scheduling surgeries
keep talking to friends
keep eating
keep sleeping
the worlds not over
you're still needed

and this is why it is so beyond important that we do not take that fucking bait.

do not, ever, ever ever go in on this.

This business model cannot be rewarded. Do not ever do remote computing. I'm so serious. Do not do it! use a fucking potato computer if you have to! DON'T REMOTE COMPUTE EVER
