If you like fascinating mysteries and narrative heavy games with great writing, please play The Incident at Galley House!

It just came out in the last couple weeks, made by the folks who did The Roottrees Are Dead, and is an adaptation of the game Type Help, and. Ok. Just trust me?

It's crazy good, the writing is so impressively tight, and it really does an incredible job.

The premise is that you are someone coming to this house to investigate an incident which occured in 1936, where one morning, everyone in the house was found dead. You're using a machine which allows you to peer into the past, and you peer into little slots of time to piece together clues from the conversations you overhear.

It's absolutely stellar. Would probably take ~10 hours if you're thorough, and I really recommend it.

sometimes I look at my friends and I am just overwhelmed by the sheer luck of it. the universe is so violently massive and terrifyingly empty, but somehow, against all odds, my brand of weird gravity pulled in your brand of weird gravity. we are just ghosts haunting the same corner of the internet, sharing a brain cell, and keeping each other tethered to the earth.

digital selfharm is real. do NOT check up on that ex-partner/ex-friend. do NOT reread those old messages/conversations that you know will hurt your feelings all over again or that will otherwise make you feel like shit. do NOT block evade to see if you’re being talked about. inhale. exhale. let it pass and you’ll be better for it.

Bringing back wheel spin

You just transmigrated!! Your system is breathing down your neck already— apparently you didn’t actually die, your original body is just unconscious. You’ve been randomly assigned a character that you, as a no name rogue cultivator with middling skills, have a month to ‘beat’ in a fight. You don’t have to actually win! You only have to challenge this person to a fight in a public place and be declared the winner. If in that month’s time you can convince that person to throw a public match with you (or beat them organically if you think you can!), you will get sent back to your original body/life as though nothing happened. While transmigrated, you cannot tell people about your situation or why you need to win the fight. If you can’t ‘win’, you will stay stuck as a no name rogue cultivator with no way home for the rest of your life. The choice is yours….

Picker Wheel - Spin the Wheel to Decide a Random Choice

Picker Wheel is a wheel spinner for a random picker. Various functions & customization. Enter choices or names, spin the wheel to decide a r

So how do you do? (Explain in notes)

I can beat them organically and go home!

I can convince them to throw the fight and go home!

They trick me and win the fight anyway….

I lose the fight organically…

I don’t challenge anyone! Let me stay here!!!!

having a best friend who meets your level of freak is unmatched. you present them with the most unhinged, deeply buried thought from the depths of your psyche and instead of blinking blankly they just go "oh absolutely"—and I think that mutual brain rot like that is the highest form of intimacy actually.

"You Don't Bring Me Flowers Anymore," 54" by 54" quilt by Robyn Gragg of Lee's Summit, MO

The artist's description of the piece:

In the language of flowers, many species relate to grief, sorrow, and remembrance. My husband enjoyed surprising me with fresh flowers, but he has gone to Glory and I am lost in my grief.

Hand pieced, machine appliqued, longarm machine quilted, original design.

It will never not be deeply disturbing how quickly so-called lefties who proudly put 'TERFS DNI' and such in their bios will align themselves with TERF/radfem rhetoric when it's couched in progressive-ish language, and worse still will become incredibly defensive when this is pointed out to them.

There's a weird retroactive reframing of ace discourse as 'fizzling out' when people seemingly 'understood the errors of their ways' when the actual reality is that ace discourse stopped abruptly because it was proven that it originated from/aligned with actual TERF/radfem rhetoric - suddenly, it was unfashionable for so-called anti-TERF bloggers to have indulged so heavily in stuff that was so obviously radfem ideology, so rather than own up to their errors and learn from this, they quickly wafflestomped the evidence down the drain by stopping talking about it and moving on to another topic. All this despite the fact that for literal years during the height of ace discourse, many ace/trans people pointed out the similarities between TERF/radfem rhetoric and ace discourse rhetoric, only to be ignored or told they were making ridiculous claims and being LGBTphobic for saying so.

Until these people come to grips with their susceptibility to uncritically consume, support, and share radfem talking points, we will continue to see this community in-fighting problem with a new monster-of-the-week each time, which is precisely why the entire argument around transandrophobia is even happening - the radfem rhetoric is phrased in language that is just progressive enough to slip past these people's filters, and that's how we get insane takes like 'trans men don't experience misogyny because they're men' and 'trans men don't need access to gynecologists because they're men'. Yet, just like with the ace discourse movement, when people try to point this out, they are told they are hysterical or being hyperbolic or even transphobic for accusing other trans people for espousing TERF rhetoric (even though it's well known that you can be trans and transphobic just as much as you can be gay and homophobic).

And, just like ace discourse, at some point some evidence will come forth delineating just how steeped in radfem ideology the anti-transandrophobia/baeddal movements are, and these people will quietly let the matter drop rather than admit their mistakes, only to repeat this all again ad nauseam in a few years when a new target has been chosen to be the community monster-of-the-week. Y'all have GOT to stop falling for this every few years, admit your errors, and start listening.

In case anyone hasn't heard, the cyclospora outbreak affecting tons of people in the US right now is coming from Taylor Farms produce. Best to stay away from bagged lettuce and prepared salads completely right now, but especially the ones mentioned in the screenshot:

Taylor Farms Earthbound Farms Little Salad Bar (Aldi) Marketside (Walmart) Kroger House Brand Target private label greens Costco salads and greens etc Trader Joe's chopped salad kits and fresh produce Fast food: McDonalds, Taco Bell, (Yum! Brands), Chipotle, Subway, Pizza Hut, KFC, Olive Garden, Top Golf, Red Lobster, Burger King, etc.

This is not the first time I've heard about a Taylor Farms foodborne illness outbreak. I stopped eating their salads after reading a description of the conditions in their facilities. Doesn't sound like they've improved anything.

We need a fully funded and staffed FDA, and regulations with teeth - and that's exactly what we don't have under Trump. To make things worse, the CDC is no longer tracking these outbreaks. We're on our own.

Here's the recall notice with a full list of what not to eat. Important to note the problem appears to be the iceberg lettuce, so if you have a salad mix in the fridge that does NOT have iceberg lettuce, so far there is no sign it is a problem.

If you eat it and shit yourself, please make a report.

been stewing on an analytical approach to fiction which I call "is this book afraid of me?" and in order to answer this question you determine how hard the book is trying to make sure you don't come after the writer on twitter
