Fully missed a pill for the first time in ages and I think I'm going to die

[ninanation]

Come to think of it, it really is insane that my entire country is burning alive and literally no one in the rest of the world cares. Thousands of Indians are dying every day from the heat, it's 45+ degrees in multiple areas, the government couldn't give two fucks, we're getting severe warnings and red alerts, and not a soul outside of South Asia is speaking about it because why would you ever care about brown people

please keep talking about how Becky from Maryland doesn't like the rising gas prices. It's clearly the more pressing issue.

USA folks, that is a consistent temperature range hitting 113°. Death Valley temperatures. In Banda, it hovered between 116°-118° (47°-48° C) for a week straight.

This has been happening all month with little to no international media attention. Here are a few organizations you can check out for resources or to support:

ActionAid India

SEEDS India

GlobalGiving

Raise India (Project Tapan)

What with Chapter 5's revelations about the "game mechanics" of the Dark Worlds being artificial from an in-universe perspective, I think it's worth reexamining the fact that, as far as we know, with the exception of self-inflicted harm the only characters whose actions in the Dark Worlds are demonstrably able to break kayfabe and harm the underlying people or objects directly are the Roaring Knight and Noelle.

i’m making so many beautiful things for my house—oh goddamn it

one thing they don't warn you about when it comes to being in a talkative mood is that if other people aren't in such a talkative mood it fucks with your vibe heavily

I used to make fun of people who insisted on using super toxic heavy metal paints when we can synthesize basically any color until I got into miniatures painting and like... I still try to have the ones I'm touching constantly be nontoxic, my azo yellow ink is fine, turbodork yuzu works for some of the more magical elements, but the cadmium yellow is just better. It is more yellow. Everyone I've shown the bottles to side by side agrees - it is the yellower yellow. My big models deserve it.

I did make sure to swap my paint water cup for one I won't accidentally drink out of though (mason jar with a pony in it). Probably shouldn't be eating or drinking out of anything that's touched my old workspace tbh.

Tabletop gaming has always had a special relationship with toxic materials even compared to most other arts. At least we (usually) only need to be concerned about the paints these days – it's really only within the last twenty years that it's become safe to assume metal miniatures don't have lead in them!

(We're not just talking trace amounts, either. Ral Partha was selling metal minis whose alloys consisted of up to 80% lead as late as 1993.)

Unironically I think this meme is really good for explaining why maths formalisms and notation are so valuable, even when they seem cumbersome/convoluted. It's an incredibly precise way to describe the interaction of a lot of related-but-meaningfully-distinct concepts, and this is a great showcase of that, thank you Lynn Chordbug you're the best.

I sometimes wonder to what extent David Willis is personally responsible for the Transformers wiki being Like That.
