About me:

i’m in my thirties, queer, trans, chronically ill, white, and neurodivergent

i use they/them or ze/hir pronouns in English and ze/zes, es/ihm or any neutral pronouns in German

I blog in both of these languages

about any hyperfixation that gets stuck in my brain 

i will tag stuff for you if you want, please always feel free to ask

i will block terfs, transmeds, aphobes, bi/pan discoursers (meaning if you claim either of these labels is inherently transphobic) and various bigots of all kinds

my inbox and dm are always open to anyone, no matter if we’ve talked before or not. it might take me a while to reply - pls don’t take that personal, it’s just that my brain isn’t always up for communication

if we’re mutuals, could you please tag the following things for me?

drugs and alcoholism

broken bones

realistic body horror 

Visual descriptions or pictures, gifs and videos of puking

You are very brave. You are bravest human I have ever met. Is joke! I only meet one human, and is you!

ROCKY Project Hail Mary (2026) dir. Phil Lord, Christopher Miller

[aroace-ryland-grace]

Love love love that Grace is staring at the "who would you die for?" line on his whiteboard right before Rocky shows up in his xenonite container. Yes hello here is someone so important to you that you would sacrifice your life for him. He's in a hamster ball on your doorstep and he's about to run into your spaceship and insult your house and wreck your shit. You would die for him in every lifetime, and only because of that do you end up living.

Turkey Vulture (Cathartes aura), taken May 13, 2026, in Georgia, US

A vulture circling overhead, sharing a thermal with a few friends and a hawk! With how fast they were gliding, it was hard to get anything in focus, but I got lucky with this shot. I was initially kind of bummed I didn't get the whole bird in-frame, but this picture grew on me the more I looked at it. I definitely do not have the right gear for in-flight bird shots, but I'll take what I can get with what I have, and I'm happy with this one!

somehow instead of saying "as a treat", I've started using the phrase "for morale", as if my body is a ship and its crew, and I (the captain) have to keep us in high spirits, lest we suffer a mutiny in the coming days.

and so I will eat this small block of fancy cheese, for morale. I will take a break and drink some tea, for morale. I will pick up that weird bug, for morale.

I'm not sure if it helps, but it does entertain me

[sockdreams]

We often eat pie at work...for morale.

[eerian-sadow]

"As a treat" implies a special occasion, a temporary state. "For morale" makes the joy essential, because you have to have good morale to keep going.

The negative consequences of offloading cognitive tasks to AI is itself a consequence of overworking and undereducating people so they have little energy to learn new skills and information and haven’t been given the tools to properly assess what is or isn’t accurate information.

I’m not saying that’s a good thing but it’s not as if AI invented the incentive to have someone else do their thinking and decision making.

Far more disturbing is that businesses and governments are abdicating decision making responsibility to AI. “Predictive policing,” autofiltering resumes, military target acquisition. Then everyone washes their hands and says “the machine made the decision,” no you input the parameters and accepted it’s conclusion and then acted! That was you!

BBC Studios Germany shared this picture and post on Instagram today, confirming that series 2 has finished filming and will now be going into post-production. The new episodes are expected to be released in 2027.

Hey, just so you know, there's no "right" way to make fan-stuff for things you enjoy. Sure, there's fanart, fanfic, and cosplay, but you can really do anything. Design a bedroom for your favorite character. Make an ita bag. Write a poem inspired by your fave. Go wild. Fandom is meant for having fun.
