We're you the one that had made that post about not using carved "natural crystals" as sex toys? I'm looking for the link to that post if you could help out?

Thank fuck I’m not, but maybe a follower can drop a link.

Do you have any advice on how to end conversations? Because I just listened to half an hour of somebody telling me to change my lifestyle. He's right, and he's a nice guy, which is why I can't tell him to fuck off, but listening to someone repeat themselves five or six times about how "he went through the same thing" or "all you gotta do is this" is not only not helpful, but incredibly annoying. Especially since this guy is my roommate and I'm literally trying to sleep. Like yes I'm depressed, but I'm laying in bed because it's almost midnight and I'm tired not because I'm depressed. Thankfully another roommate came by with a packet of raisins, so I was able to leave during one of his pauses to throw away my trash and now I'm hiding in the bathroom.

This is one of those things that I’ve just personally decided to lean into my autism on. When you’re direct in a certain way people think it’s funny and at the end of the day being blunt is just easier.

So in that situation I’d probably interrupt to be like, “Yeah man, I hear you, but since I can’t turn my life around this second I’m gonna go to sleep. Thank you.” And then shut the door.

Hey that cat in the big plush dragon picture is so clearly an AI generated image. cmon.

Your tone is so shitty here. Like. I do want to know if I’ve been got, but “clearly” and “cmon” is really unnecessary.

Obviously it wasn’t clear, because it looked fine to me and unlike most AI it didn’t have comments saying so, even when I checked. Even after receiving this and scrolling the notes there’s exactly one person saying it’s AI in the reblogs. I don’t want to regard everything with suspicion and if you deride people for being fooled you’re just gonna alienate them.

oooh what type of muffins?

They’re banana chocolate chip muffins! I found the recipe online ages ago and since you cream the butter and sugar first it leads to a really nice airy consistency with banana and protein which can both tend to be gloopy.

Question about medieval bedding: my characters have two sleeping bags in a European fantasy setting. At some point they lose one and need to bed down together (it's gay). How feasible is this given available technology?

First counter question: what are medieval sleeping bags stuffed with cause I'm unfamiliar?

But luckily gay technology has been around longer than sleeping bags so I think in this case you gotta get em real wet and then make them snuggle under a wool blanket for warmth. Maybe they make a makeshift bed of bracken but regardless, the power of being gay is definitely going to save them from hypothermia.

Tumblr is calling you old.

Nothing new. When the kids in my program found out my age they were fucking gobsmacked.

Being in your 30’s is basically like being a dinosaur to an 18yr old.

FFS I'm at a hotel and I love the mattress but they don't know/remember what kind it is.

Is this photo enough to tell what it is or am I actually just looking at a cover that obscures any identifying marks?

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Listen to me. Look into my eyes. Don’t try to buy the hotel mattress. It’s an extremely common phenomena- folks go on vacation or stay at a friend’s and loooove the bed!

But that does not mean it was your perfect bed. It just means it was better than your broken bed at home. Go into a mattress store and go through the process and you will find a bed that suits you perfectly.

Hotel beds are the lowest common denominator of bed and they get swapped out every 18 months in most cases. There’s a better fit out there for you, I promise. My store used to carry a popular hotel bed, people knew it by name. But when they went through the process no one ever picked it. It was one of our worst sellers. There was always a bed people loved more.

So accept the sign that your home bed is dead and walk into a store. That hotel bed was a good rebound but it’s time to settle down.

hey!

i have to shop for a mattress online. do you have any advice or tips?

Go lay on beds. Truly. You cannot trust reviews; the person who wrote it does not have your body. To wade through the mire of misinformation and bullshit is a neverending slog that ends with a shitty bed in a box that doesn’t match what you need. Find some way to go in person. There’s way better options in physical stores and a human being who will answer questions.

We can accommodate so many disabilities to let people try beds. I’ve got step stools and I’ve moved beds to lower frames of the floor to help people get into them. But no one can tell you what bed will work best for you except your own body.
