Restful Rainbow is a youtube channel full of bedtime stories about historical LGBTQ figures and events told in a soothing manner. very calming and meditative, a beautiful way to fall asleep for queer people or allies. best sleep i've gotten in months - link

[guzhufuren]

i would recommend to start off with Michelangelo's Secret Love for the first night, it's very lovely, and if it helps you fall asleep like it did for me, please consider leaving comments under the videos because when i found the channel it hadn't had even one single comment, and it would be really really nice for the op to know how valuable their work is and that it would be appreciated if they continued it

I was super delirious on the bathroom floor after vomiting for hours and when I closed my eyes I saw a repeating pattern of Applejacks outlined in purple and i think in that moment I know what it feels like to be Rarity

why does my boyfriend have to turn everything into a game of saw

Me when I contact IT and tell them yes I restarted and followed any instructions I could but computer still angry and IT says they are escalating this because it is an actual issue: I am getting a good grade in service desk ticket. Something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve.

I have just enough knowledge about archaeologists working for the American federal government to write the most boring stargate: SG1 fanfiction ever put to page. Everyone be thankful I have not inflicted it upon you.

[chimaerakitten]

It would also be a good opportunity to set the fanon record straight a bit. Nobody in the archaeology world would be shocked about an archaeologist working for the Air Force. Working for the federal government is one of the most normal career trajectories for archaeologists in the United States. If you search “archeologist” (note, the federal spelling omits the second ‘a’ for some bureaucratic reason) on USAJobs right now, 5 open positions come up. Two of them for the army.

Granted, Daniel’s a bit of an odd case since he got run out of academic archaeology first instead of coming up via the CRM track, but still.

“Why would the Air Force hire an archaeologist?” Is the wrong question. They (and every other branch of the military) have dozens of others for completely normal non-aliens reasons. (And no, im not talking about contractors. People performing Inherently Governmental Activities are gonna be civilian GS employees.) Some of them attend SAA events every year perfectly normally. Better question: why has nobody from the Colorado State Historic Preservation Office, the Office of the State Archaeologist, or the Ute tribe met this guy?

#basically there are a lot of people out there who think they know what Daniel’s job is #and also think he’s terrible at it #‘What do you mean Cheyenne mountain has had an archaeologist for TEN YEARS and he’s never emailed us once?’ #<- statements overheard at SHPO

If Pikiwedia says it it must be true.

[zooperdoopers]

I made Pikiwedia real. Works for any Wikipedia page. Use this wisely :)‌

[sufficientlylargen]

Oh, wary dell vone

[zooperdoopers]

Goodmorning to the Anthropic Claude AI training scraper that suddenly decided to request 660 thousand pages (exactly the number I had remaining on the starter plan) and brought Pikiwedia down. 

Sudden switch from diverse user agents like chrome, safari, messenger preview to Just Claudebot. I'm not even mad though, this is maybe the funniest thing possible, because I've inadvertently poisoned their training data with thousands of fucked up articles with normal urls. 

Pikiwedia perseveres, back up with a better robots.txt. I hope Anthropic has a gery vood time with Pikiwedia's data :))

[thoodleoo]

there are a lot of really good ancient roman laws but i think my favorite is that, if you got struck by lightening and died, you couldnt have a proper burial because it meant that the gods hated you

[ancient-rome-au]

“Jupiter cancelled him and we’re not going to question that”

[antique-scarecrow]

genuinely asking: how would these laws apply to that guy who got struck by lightning on seven separate occasions but survived every time?

[nanarchy]

I think I would have assumed Zeus was trying to fuck him.

[antique-scarecrow]

worst possible response thanks so much
