Still thinking about this mobile game ad I got. You will f**k increasingly large creatures.
Screenshots I took to traumatize my husband when I got this ad
It is HILARIOUS that they're censoring fuck. Let's not offend any delicate sensibilities by dropping a complete f-bomb in the middle of explaining the rules of the monster fucking š¦š¦š¦ game.
This is going to enter my vocabulary

Peer reviewing these tags from @rottenbrainstuff:
This is true of literally any technology, of course, but I forget that many people just go "This Technology BAD." So yes, good reminder: computers and algorithmsāand yes, even generative 'ai'āare just tools, and what matters is how they're used.
A hammer is a great tool for building things but it can also cave someone's skull in. That doesn't mean the hammer is evil and we should get rid of hammers.
some favorites from Carrie M. Becker's miniature diorama work
These sit at the intersection of two of my interests -- dollhouses and Hoarders. I love that they exist. I deeply appreciate being introduced to them. I am always viscerally freaking out at the sight.
These photos are seriously brilliant in exploiting the tensions among:
Realism as a goal of dollhouse design.
The history of the dollhouse as either a display for wealthy collectors or a tool for teaching girls proper housekeeping (depending what source you're looking at).
Dollhouse conventions of being a magazine-ready "perfect" environment of order and harmony.
Dollhouse miniatures as being endlessly collectible, especially the ReMent surprise-box ones that Becker discovered.

practicing self care less out of self love and more for the sheer logical reasoning of itād be kinda stupid of me to expect myself to be able to function without proper maintenance
āoh i donāt deserve rest and relaxation, i havenāt done enough, i havenāt earned itā and my carās breaks donāt deserve break fluid because they arenāt breaking well enough to earn it. thatās what you sound like!!!!!
The Watermelon Woman (1996) dir. Cheryl Dunye
Hey this movie is really important in queer history! It was the first feature length film directed by a black lesbian! You can watch it here for free!
I really recommend you do because while it is a rom-com (and a drama), it also looks at how the stories of black queers are over looked in history.
Youāve laughed and said āIt would probably take a Girl smacking me with a poster saying āI like Youā for me to get the hint.ā The next day, your best friend walks up to you and hits you on the head with a poster board that says āI like youā
really love keeping up with my mutuals through their little tags and vent posts. getting updates on how theyāre doing is something like: glad to know your job at the library is going well. iām sorry you havenāt gotten that raise. glad your finals went well. iām sorry your teacher is so unhelpful. glad your tv show got renewed. iām sorry they killed your favorite character. glad that you scored tickets to see your favorite artist. iām sorry they arenāt touring near you at all. glad your cat is doing well. iām sorry your mom is sick again. glad youāre feeling better now that itās your favorite season. iām sorry your meds arenāt working. glad youāre married now. iām sorry you have to step back for your mental health. glad youāre still here. iām sorry life is so hard. glad youāre alive, i hope things get easier for you soon
there's a lot of talk about reading comprehension and one thing i think is the biggest barrier to people on this site getting better at it is simply... rushing. rushing to share something you haven't understood, rushing to have an opinion without taking the time to think about it, rushing to declare that you don't understand something
take these tags, on somebody else's post (condolences pip)
the thing is. this is what i would call an inside thought. nobody would have known you didn't get it if you didn't tell them that. if you recognised that it was important but didn't have the headspace to process it, you can reblog without commentary for others, or to come back to later. or you can save it somewhere and wait until you DO have the capacity to read it over a few more times, ponder it, consider what it might mean, figure out how to understand it, and THEN reblog it
but no. rushing to reblog while it is still opaque. rushing to admit to ignorance rather than spend the time to achieve understanding. perhaps hoping that somebody will break it down for you more simply, though to my mind it was quite simply phrased in the first place. never stopping to take the time first
comprehension is not always instant! sometimes it takes a bit of time for something to percolate after you read it; sometimes you need to read it a few times; sometimes you realise you don't have the context for it and either go and get the context or accept that it's not for you right now
please just simply slow down. you don't always have to respond to everything within a second or two. it is okay if it is not an instantaneous understanding. we all need to get more comfortable with thinking more slowly and more deeply and more carefully, and not letting our instant split second responses drive us all the time, because they are a barrier to genuine reflection
Daughters Of Time
November 1978. Downtown Denver. A line of women stretches around the city block, some clutching envelopes, others gripping checkbooks, a few carrying cash they'd hidden at home for years.
They weren't there for a sale or a concert. They were there to open bank accounts. At a bank that finally treated them like adults.
Just four years earlier, American women had won the legal right to get credit cards without a man's signature. The Equal Credit Opportunity Act of 1974 said banks couldn't discriminate anymore. But laws on paper don't rewrite institutional culture overnight.
Walk into most banks in the late 1970s, and you'd find the same old attitudes wearing new masks. A woman's salary? Supplemental income. A female business owner seeking a loan? Too risky. A divorced woman trying to rebuild? Suspicious.
The system had been forced to let women in. But it sure as hell wasn't rolling out the welcome mat.
So eight Colorado women stopped waiting for invitations. Carol Green. Judi Wagner. LaRae Orullian. Wendy Davis. Gail Schoettler. Joy Burns. Beverly Martinez. Edna Mosely. Each committed $1,000 of their own earnings as seed money. Together, they rallied investors and raised $2 million to do something unprecedented in the West.
They opened The Women's Bank. Not a lending circle or a feminist fundraiser. A fully chartered, federally insured commercial bank. The first women-owned bank west of the Mississippi.
The founders figured maybe a few dozen curious customers would show up on opening day. Instead, women flooded in by the hundreds. By closing time, they'd deposited over one million dollars.
One million. In one day.
These weren't just transactions. They were declarations. Every deposit said: I trust you to see me as I am. Every new account meant: I'm done asking permission to control my own money.
The Women's Bank went on to finance businesses that male bankers had dismissed. It offered financial education. It proved that a bank centered on women's economic reality wasn't charity work. It was smart business.
Gail Schoettler later became Colorado's Lieutenant Governor. The bank eventually merged with larger institutions, as community banks did. But the message had already spread. Women across the country saw what was possible when you stop asking for a seat at the table and build your own institution instead.
Today, when a woman signs for a mortgage or launches a business without a male cosigner, she's standing on ground those eight women broke open. They didn't just start a bank. They proved that women's economic power was never the problem. Access was. And access could be seized, not granted.

Auto Zone is allegedly warning its employees about possibly running out of lubricating products thanks to idiot's war. If that is true, if you need any such service done on your car, maybe think about doing it soon.
I mean i do not know the supply chain for car lube stuff but a company-wide memo for at least one company suggests that regular consumers will not be the priority for what is out there. Stuff might just end up hard to get. But you know, better safe than sorry.
āI donāt like this song because I canāt relate to itā skill issue. Iām mad at my husband I love my girlfriend Iām a lone cowboy Iām growing old Iām growing up Iām depressed I love my friends Iām perpetually horny Iām drunk at the club I love my husband again
this is exactly what Iām talking about
Why are we forgetting the old texts
to anyone in the areas impacted by the wildfire smoke, my #1 biggest piece of advice as someone whos been dealing with wildfire smoke in the NW united states for years, is build yourself a Corsi-Rosenthal Cube
they perform as well as expensive HEPA air cleaners, and are comparatively VERY inexpensive. all you need is a box fan, 4 air filters, a piece of cardboard, and some duct tape!!!!
i think it took us maybe a half hour to put ours together, if that, and we replace the filters every 3 months. it's really made a HUGE difference, both when the air quality is bad, but also with our allergies
Saw these easy to read instructions on Twitter. Stay safe š
Great time to start pricing this out by the way, fire season startsā¦ on the summer solstice this year, thatās fun. Signs point to it being a doozy.
My hope for whoever is reading this is that your life starts making sense and coming together. I hope the good days are right around the corner for you.
Keep up the great work, lads
I love how this addition would be absolutely incomprehensible almost anywhere else but we know exactly what it means
