Today is the 2000th entry of my daily journal. I’m so happy I started this thing nearly 6 years ago, because the biggest use I’ve found for it is to become okay with the past and let my mind relax.
This allows me to be the best and most stable version of myself and go through life with grace.
"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school
Damn, Mike Bailey is a handsome boi, also the highest of riders.
Yo @maffewgregg.bsky.social, if you're counting part-time JR eligible for the worst commentator award discussion, then Jesse "The Body who escapes through THE DOOR?!" Ventura has to be eligible too, surely.
It's really strange that he often uses the word "allowed", both for what he can do and what others can't do. What authority is he appealing to in his mind?
That mixed tag match on Grand Slam Collision was bloody awesome. Generally great show so far. #AEW
Running 5 D&D games this week. Fs in the chat for my poor voice. #dnd #ttrpg #5e
Every time this gets shared I watch it at least 3 times.
homoquartz Follow i've warmed up significantly towards the concept of small talk ever since i learned that its sole purpose is to make friendly noises. as long as you smile and nod, people are satisfied. it's just to show that you are nice and there with good intentions. we're small in a big world and have to rely on other people to be decent to us. so we do our little human dance to each other to say, "i'm not here to hurt you. here's something we have in common, like the weather or sports or itchy sweaters, so we both know we're on the same team. we both agree on a basic fact, like that it is rainy or that being itchy is uncomfortable, and this proves we can get along. i'm being light-hearted and non-threatening right now." small talk isn't to get to know a person. it's just a greeting to affirm you're buddies in the universe. i am motivated by wanting the other person to know i am friendly, so i have gotten pretty decent at small talk when i used to hate it. the owl shit When I was a kid and would go hiking with my dad and sibling on vacation, every time we would pass another group, my dad would do the smile and nod and "hey". And then after we'd turned a corner, he would say more quietly, "I must make friendly social noises so they do not eat my young" and my sib and I would crack up laughing. Gotta remember that we're mammals under it all.
leveled up with this explanation, cos as an autistic person i pride myself on reacting appropriately to animals, to signal harmlessness, so why wouldn't i want to do this for human animals?
never occurred to me to stop listening to the words and instead recognise the BEHAVIOUR.
A targeted ad in anglicized Hindi for ChatGPT images on reddit. It shows gummy bear versions of people's faces with the prompt "turn my friends into jelly candy" (translated). The ad says "add a twist to your selfies with ChatGPT Images." (translated).
"You don't understand! AI can cure cancer! It can find untold efficiencies in the way we work!"
Meanwhile, OpenAI's actual ads on Reddit.
Absolute bomb dropped by Vehicular Manslaughter on this week's Dimension 20. The whole scene got me crying and getting some feelings out.
I've started making shorts/reels around #dnd #5e but that's kinda taken my attention away from Bluesky. And from writing.
Need to get back to my book. It's sitting at 92% complete ffs.
Physics of a direct hit from an RPG type projectile
At the ripe old age of 33, sleep just... takes me now. It doesn't shy away, doesn't play coy. Just grabs the back of my head, stares deep into my eyes, and whispers sensually into my ear, "you're about to pass out now."

Wrote a small horror story for a collaborative challenge. If you decide to check it out, I hope you enjoy it. :) #writingsky #writingcommunity #fiction
I worked at Oracle from 2014 to 2019. Dreadful place.
*weeping uncontrollably*
I *AM* A REGULAR GUY YES I AM
Been spinning my wheels on my book for 3 weeks but sat down today. Crossed 77k words.
In that stage now where I'm going back and editing old chapters up to a "pre-final" stage. Can't fill in the pending sections near the end without doing this.

Hey so uh... Is sleeping for 15.5 hours a good thing? Asking for a friend.
Long may it continue.
It's WWE. Of course they didn't think he'd be over.
After a long time, killed a PC today in #D&D. #5e #ttrpg
The player moved on so quickly, lol. I grieved longer than he did. He sat outside the room and made a new character while we resolved his funeral by the other players.
If you want to know how ADHD feels, I was looking for my glasses for the last 5 minutes.
While wearing them.
It's 1.30am and I'm hungry and the fact that there's a Chana Masala wrap on this is indication I should go eat.
Like space force. An army specifically for lava biomes.
On Sunday, I felt extremely bleak at a writers' meet when we discussed the realities of the publishing industry. It felt like my book is doomed to fail, if I can be published at all.
Oh well, I've written 550 more words today so far. We're at 90% completion.

New #D&D hexcrawl campaign in #Bangalore. Come by sometime! We teach new players.
Really cool thing happened yesterday.
I run paid #D&D at a cafe here in #Bengaluru on weekends. We post a CTA on Mondays and it usually takes 3-4 days to get enough players.
Last Saturday, I started a new hexcrawl campaign. When we posted the call last night, it filled in under 1 minute. #ttrpg
Every accusation is a confession.
Absolutely. Just keep in mind it's a teenage protagonist complaining a lot.
