It's got me excited to watch Rogue One again, haven't since the year it came out.
It's a show I may watch a few times.

Finally got myself a public #library card. I'm a bit disappointed in myself for not having one most of my adult life so fat. Times change.

I preferred these guys as incompetent villains in a children's movie; less so, as literally the kind of people to run our government.
The US is exceptionally good at selling its soul for the jingle-jangle.

Very much so. And committed to the contestestant's and the craft's integrity. They don't wanna scare anyone away from magic.
I'm glad the show exists. I find it more enjoyable consuming it in the clips you mentioned. 😅

It's super strange...we lament my step dad passing just before Facebook was a thing, he would have had a hell of a digital diary.
Lost a few Facebook friends since the pandemic...will still get hints at unknown times. "OH yeah them the...oh...yeah"
Grief fuckin sucks, yo...

Never so much a total fuck up, but a few times you would think "I'm not sure they belong here." Wether that's on the show specifically or, like, in stage performance in general.

I've finally gotten to this point. In general, but certainly with From Soft. All things combined, the games just aren't for me. I'm actually still a fan of what they are. It's an interesting concept worthy of existing, even if everyone can't digest them. I think accessibility is a broader problem.

It's not a problem by any means, but the first people I followed on Bluesky were gay men. So my Discover feed (Popular With Friends) is about 50% gay thirst traps.
The ratio is going down as I expand my following count, but it's a bit of a shock on occasion.
People really put it all out there. 😅

When you become chronically ill, your world shrinks.

You can’t do a lot of the things you used to. People disappear. It can be an isolating existence.

That said, you learn to slow down, simplify your life & reject rampant consumerism.

These skills will be invaluable when facing what’s to come

If u didnt laugh at a joke it’s okay

If u didnt get scared during a story it’s okay

If u didnt connect with a character it’s okay

View movies, stories, books, music, art etc from a larger perspective. You can still respect something and pull back from centering urself in things that arent for u !

Ehh, technically speaking, it's very possible to have a stutter and not be aware of it. But you do exist on the internet...you would "know"...and I haven't noticed something myself when you're a Drawfee guest.
Still, I personally stutter a lot, but don't "have a stutter", such as it were.

I hope everyone knows that it's very easy for any social content platform, including Bluesky, to be a misery machine and that if you aren't intentional about it, they will absolutely decrease the positive impact you have on the world while making you less happy.

I wanted to know the number of people affected by the #polygon layoffs...I soon realized @polygon.com had until very recently been my number one trusted source for good reporting on such things...curious.

Holly bear walking past the ruins of DeviantArt with a sad expression, a campfire long since abandoned. Behind the DA sign art thieves are stuffing paintings into black bags and a robot bear is printing endless pictures. Text reads: Keep posting to as many relevant platforms as you have energy for, because enshittification comes for them all

Holly bear walks past the 'X' sign which has burned it's way through the twitter bird. She has an annoyed expression on her face and the campfire by her looks recently abandoned. There is a dumpster on fire, an onlybears model advertising and two bots talking to each other and printing out slop. Text reads: Do you have one site that you rely on for income? Prepare for it not being functional some day. It isn't pessimism to be prepared, when so many of the giants have been rendered unusable.

Holly bear sighs, taking a break and sitting down by a new campfire, not unpacking all her stuff. There is a small sign with the blue sky butterfly on it. Text reads: If you find a place with good community, negligible algorithms and feedback; try to live in the moment. Enjoy it while it lasts.

This may be one of the worst times to be posting art online. So many platforms being swamped with AI, spammed with aggressive bots and algorithms that will hide you until you play their silly secret games. What else can we do but ride it out? 🐻 #TheBearMinimum

I've been thinking more and more about how people will probably start seeing "mistakes" like that as a good thing if it means it wasn't made with generative processes.
Plus, funnier, of course.
