Bad Dads: Chapter 1 part 2
Uh oh..
2/24/2026
oh i just realized something about why people send shit like the “you’ve mutilated your body” shit
it’s because they’re so insecure that the slightest hint of social ostracization is fucking terrifying to them and they just assume everyone else is like that
like i’m gonna see that and go “oh… oh god… is there… a chance people will ostracize me for this?? oh god i’ve made a TERRIBLE MISTAKE!!!” when in reality i don’t give a shit lmao
A couple came into the bed store recently with a stuffed animal. I loved this on principal but assumed it might be a comfort item.
I couldn’t resist asking what it was and the girl lit up and told me it’s a stuffed javelina because it’s roughly the size of their dog and they can see how the whole family fits on the new bed. I absolutely lost it, that was the cutest thing ever. Cuter even than the small Asian boy who took my pinky and called me Auntie to get my attention so he could demo an adjustable base to me.
do you know how to drive?
technically yes
Follow on question, do you know how to drive *well*
How should goth men dress so they look goth but also dont look like women.
why would you even want that. it's like a cupcake with no icing
Tumblr users? Advocating for a strict gender binary and for the exclusion of certain groups from certain activities based on their perceived gender? It's more likely than you think.
A few months ago, someone came into the local writers’ club looking for help in editing his life story. That help turned out to be me. As it turns out, he’s lived through some wild things, and I’m glad I got to help him turn it into something for other people to read. Originally he just wanted his kids to know what he’d been through. But sharing it with the wider world feels pretty darn worthwhile too.
He grew up in the middle of the Vietnam War, and he left school to join the military in a doomed effort to protect his home. He was taken as a prisoner of war twice. In finally fleeing the country, he swam across a river at night, ran through jungles, befriended kind strangers, and nearly died so many times. One of the refugee camps he stayed at was bombed. It was one thing after another.
And that’s just the first half of the book. He finally made it to America, to safety, and was faced with a whole different genre of problems.
I’ve been talking about this to everybody I know for months.
“OMG you’ll never guess what happened in the chapter I edited today. He was sneaking past a checkpoint and had to run for it, and he waved down somebody on a motorcycle for a ride, but that turned out to be a member of the enemy military who just turned him in again! But wait — he was able to bribe the guard with cigarettes and escape into the jungle in the middle of the night. He ran for his life and finally met a bus at dawn. And you know that meme about ‘I’d have two nickels’? Yeah, that happened another time with a different jungle and a different bus.”
After telling people about it for so long, I’m glad to be able to say the book is finally out where everyone can read it. I hope people do. It’s worth reading.
(Paperback, ebook, or just ask your local store)
Hopes of having my eventual funeral culminate in my flaming corpse being shot out of a cannon into the sea dashed by the fact that sea burial of non-cremated remains is required to take place at least 3 nautical miles (~5500 metres) from shore, while the longest-range pneumatic cannon ever constructed had a reported maximum range of only 5000 yards (~4600 metres).
Surely it only needs to be a pneumatic cannon if you're firing a LIVE projectile...
The three tiers of queer sff:
Broke: what is worldbuilding? Made in a lab to be as blandly inoffensive as possible. Time to randomly namedrope terms like 'nonbinary' and 'ace' while doing zero work actually incorporating them into the world or characters and have someone give a speech about how valid they are. Lines like 'I'm too ace for this' while never exploring the concept of asexuality or aromanticism and still having very central romance plotlines is common. I hate it here learn how to write realistic dialogue and fully realized characters I'm begging.
Woke: more ore less typical sci-fi and fantasy but It’s Queer Now. Might include in-universe queerphobia to be struggled against or may have queer identities be fully normalized. Can be done bad or well depending on the skill of the writer. A good way to explore our contemporary ideas of gender and sexuality or to have a bit of a power fantasy with lesbian princesses and trans knights. There will probably be a bisexual love triangle.
Bespoke: what is a gender. What is monogamy. What is polyamory. What is romance. What is platonic. Time to show you the most fucked up uncategorizable relationship you’ve ever seen. There may be weird ass metaphorical sex
fuck it
Book recs: tier three queer sff
AKA books that tackle gender, sexuality and relationships in ways that come off as deeply alien and non normative to our present day culture, frequently featuring actual aliens.
For details on the books, check under the readmore! My personal favorites are marked with an *
A note: as I'm generally more into sci-fi than fantasy, this list skews heavily toward the former. Feel free to make your own recommendations in the notes if you know of more titles!
If you want more book recs, check out my masterpost of rec lists!
i genuinely don’t think most americans realize how deeply us exceptionalism and us essentialism goes into their skin i would wager 99% of you still act like it even if consciously you say you hate the states
My favorite is when they describe a widespread, fundamentally human issue as a problem that's unique to the US.
decided to find out my starting point for what i can lift over my head with one hand unassisted and it’s 30 lbs :3
anyways that’s 50lbs right there :3
Completely disable Copilot in Windows 11
You too can get the satisfaction of maiming or killing a spy embedded in your organization.
HELL YEAH DESHITTIFICATION!
For everything we do here, please be sure to be careful with what you edit, and restart your computer to lock things in. If you don't have access to the Group editor, (likely to happen if you're on base windows) you can do this as well by opening your Registry Editor app, then inputting this after your 'computer' or whatever the initial segment is. (Mine is computer. If I just try and paste the below string it gets SO mad at me)
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsCopilot
Navigating to your "turnoffwindowscopilot", hit modify, and set the value data to 1.
If done correctly, it'll look like this.
While we're at it, you can also get rid of the integrated search, (or that thing where it searches the web when you search anything, whether or not you want it to) and such through regedit as well.
Integrated search will have you going to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer
Navigate to your "DisableSearchBoxSuggestions" bit, if you don't see it, you can make it by right clicking and creating a new registry D-Word key of that exact name. Edit the key, set it to 1. It'll look like this if you do it right!
To get rid of Windows Spotlight, (The thing where it pulls up ten billion pages on windows start page, shoving ads in your face and cluttering everything) we go to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DesktopSpotlight\Settings
And set "Enabled State" To 0. If you do it right, it'll look like this!
Disabling edge on startup will also help a fair deal with processing speed and the like. This you can do in all sorts of ways, the easiest being turning it off entirely on startup through settings in the like.
If you want to kill it *entirely*, though? :)
In regedit, run along to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft
Navigate to your MicrosoftEdge key subcategory. If you don't see it, you can make one! Note, this is a KEY, not a d-word. *inside* that subcategory, we want to either make or find the D-Word key of PreventLaunchEdge and set that to 1 in the same way as all the others. It'll look like this.
Aaaand while we're here, I'd HIGHLY recommend shanking Killer Networking Services. It's just bloatware. (Ostensibly it's supposed to monitor your network bandwidth and even things out, but that really means it's constantly monitoring and pinging things, which eats up the bandwidth you DO get, and also chunks your computer's processing power.) Getting rid of it entirely is borderline impossible, since it's set to redownload on regular updates and intel is very pushy with its updates.
This you can do by opening your Services.msc, which basically shows you all the background stuff that Windows does. Find Anything with Killer in the name, right click it, go to properties, and disable startup. It should look like this, if done successfully. It will probably reenable itself in time/in later updates for windows, but it's a quick fix. I'd also check your TaskScheduler app to make sure that nothing's scheduled to open up there, either.
If you CAN completely kill Killer services through uninstalling and the like, I would warn that at very least for my computer, the only ethernet/lan support applications that are available ARE Killer's. When you download updates, you really do have to do it manually and ONLY download the ethernet services, or just be cool with not having Lan functionality.
One last thing, not a shit application but is a shit service. If your computer's constantly overheating or just warm, you likely have Turboboost enabled. (Default setting that you can't change) If you want to be able to turn it off and drop your temps by like 40 degrees, in Regedit go to
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings\54533251-82be-4824-96c1-47b60b740d00\be337238-0d82-4146-a960-4f3749d470c7
(Note- This isn't the string copy paste from the reddit thread, this is mine that does the same thing. If my string doesn't work for you, check the reddit thread string. If that doesn't work either, you can follow the path and find it pretty easily. Probably has like, one letter of difference somewhere. The bits all start the same, though, so it's easy to find.)
and go to "attributes". Set the value from 1 to 2, and now in your advanced Power Plan settings in control panel, you'll be able to *see* turbo boost and turn it off.
It'll look like this, and in power options, a successful disabling of boost should look like this.
Turning off quick startup's also a good call, since that basically stops your restarts from actually shutting things down properly.
GOOD LUCK OUT THERE YALL. MAKE SURE TO CLEAN YOUR PC!
I would like to once again recommend to you all Winero Tweaker, a free program that lets you adjust a bunch of windows settings with a single click instead of digging through 30 different setting screens and registry entries.
There's well over a hundred settings, here's just a few of them:
(sorry the classic taskbar option no longer works with current windows 11 version)
Fair warning: This is a powerful tool which means it can also do some damage if you don't know what you're doing, but every setting comes with an extensive explanation, as you can see in the Ads and unwanted apps screenshot.
This tool will even turn windows 11 from a bloated mess into a (more or less, this tool isn't magic) usable operating system.
Some tech advice for you all from my personal blog. I figured the more people see this the better, and I got a lot more followers on this blog.

the new york times has such a great series of elevated butter noodles, if you ever want a super fast easy dinner that still feels grown up and you can emulsify pasta water + butter together basically the sky is your limit
ya got
gochujang butter noodles
peanut butter noodles
chili crisp fettuccine alfredo
miso butter noodles
any one of these + a bag of salad or whatever vegetable side you find easiest/cheapest, and you've got yourself a full meal that tastes far above the effort you put in.
daily ship practice. different pens.
