AITA for not telling my new party why I broke things off with my cursed greatsword?
I know how it sounds, but like, bear with me.
I (28/F/former paladin), had been travelling with a cursed greatsword (Immeasurable/F/Sword) and was really into her for a long time. When we first met she told me she was the disembodied spirit of an ancient warlord and beamed images of a beautiful raven haired warrior in gorgeous blackened Gothic armor into my mind, she told me it was her true form and I was super into it so I forsook my paladin oath and we started hooking up
Early on in our relationship she was really supportive when I started to transition, telling me she was "nearing her apotheosis" as well. I didn't think much of it at the time, and dutifully listened to her when she told me to travel the kingdom and assemble the ritual objects for her ascension. There was a team of adventurers that tried to stop us and she told me to kill them but one of them was my former best friend Sir Roderick The Bold (25/M/Paladin) so I refused and only incapacitated them. She didn't like that and we had a huge fight about it after we'd left
Long story short after I'd done the ritual and assembled the artifacts she revealed her true form was a ruse and she was actually just a mass of tentacles and eyes (which I don't mean to yuck anybody's yum mentioning, it's just that tentacles don't really appeal to me lol)
She said she was going to consume the world, "starting with you" and that I had "outlived my usefulness". I felt really shocked and betrayed and helped the adventuring party that was following us around to defeat her and seal her back in the sword (which I left there), but I feel really bad about it
I sorta got adopted by them since then and they keep telling me things like "Good job resisting the influence of the cursed sword!" And "How did you break free of her mind control?" Or "I am happy to see you've chosen the path of righteousness." And I haven't told them I wasn't ever under a spell or anything, I was just really mad at her at the time and lashed out. AITA?

My plan for Solarpunk Action Week currently is:
Really concentrate on my solarpunk themed post series
Try to set up a mushroom farm
Make and leave origamis for people to find in random places
Make some Solarpunk party decorations (May Day is approaching!)
Clean the balcony and prepare it for gardening season
Snitch Borrow a food dehydrator from parents and dehydrate some vegetables
Make a solarpunk tunic and maybe pants
Knit a scarf for okapi statue in the middle of the neighborhood
Begin the journey of building a neighborhood community
Solarpunk themed stickers!
Mend some clothes
I’m fairly sure I can’t achieve even half of these, but planning is half of the fun : >
okay i didn’t know mushroom farms could exist this is important
Do people not know that you can grow mushrooms for food at home? It’s not that difficult - most of them can be grown in your house in reused glass bottles, but with some like shiitake you can just use a mushroom log:
It’s even easier than plants, in a lot of ways
You wouldn’t think that flamingoes are extremophiles just from looking at them. It’s like somebody tried to build the vertebrate equivalent of that fungus that lives inside nuclear reactors, and ended up with a gangly pink dinosaur with a spoon for a face.
For everyone in the comments asking how flamingos are extremophiles:
Flamingos can survive in low oxygen, high altitude, high temperatures, low temperatures, high alkaline, they can and will drink boiling water and they can be completely frozen at night and still get up the next morning
Don’t fuck with flamingos
….. Didn’t know most of that
Huh… so that’s why zoos don’t put them somewhere warm during winter.
Oh yeah, this leaves out what I *did* know about them–they can also survive hypersalinity. That is, water so salty it kills practically everything else–water so salty it burns your skin.
American flamingos just drink that shit
(animal death) this is a real undoctored photograph (*though the body was stood up for the shot) of a dead flamingo on the surface of lake natron, a lake so salty and so alkaline that it’s naturally carbonated like soda and would eat through your stomach lining if you drank from it.
When this photo went viral years ago, most people assumed this poor flamingo must have been killed by the lake.
It is actually the lake where 75% of its global population are hatched. This is a photo from the same lake:
Some species of flamingo actually subsist almost entirely on a diet of bacteria! In other words, there is a species of dinosaur that eats only bacteria and lives in lakes so toxic they would kill almost anything else—and it is best known to the average person as a kitschy lawn decoration.

RATING: RELIABLE
Flamingos can survive in high altitudes, hypersaline conditions, and caustic lakes.
Source: ‘All flamingo species have evolved to live in some of the planet’s most extreme wetlands, like caustic “soda lakes”, hypersaline lagoons or high-altitude salt flats.’
They can survive water so alkaline it burns human skin.
Source: ‘More than a million lesser flamingos breed in Tanzania’s Lake Natron, for instance, a lake fed by hot springs with water so alkaline that it can strip away human skin (one pioneering flamingo researcher named Leslie Brown spent months in Nairobi General Hospital after burning his legs wading out to observe where the birds nested).’
They can drink water at near-boiling temperatures.
Source: ‘They can drink water at near boiling point to collect freshwater from springs and geysers at lake edges. If no freshwater is available, flamingos can use glands in their head that remove salt, draining it out from their nasal cavity.’
The lakes they inhabit can freeze overnight, and the flamingos can survive once it thaws in the morning.
Source: 'The birds may seem to epitomize the tropics, but they also live in the Andes, 15,000 feet above sea level, where they rest on lakes that freeze around them overnight.
“You’ll see them sitting there like snowballs, frozen on ice,” Dr. Arengo said. “And as the temperature warms up, they thaw out, fluff themselves up and go about their business.”’
The photo is indeed from Lake Natron, taken by photographer Nick Brandt. The content of the lake chemically preserves animal corpses that die there. You can see more photos of this here.
It is also true that 75% of Lesser Flamingos are hatches on Lake Natron.
Source: 'The lake’s landscape is surreal and deadly—and made even more bizarre by the fact that it’s the place where nearly 75 percent of the world’s lesser flamingos are born.’
Some species of Flamingo eat cyanobacteria or algae.
Source: 'Flamingos have very specialised diets. And their food is responsible for their famous pink colouration. The two species in Planet Earth II eat a lot of floating microscopic algae, which contains carotenoid pigments, the same types of chemical that make carrots orange. These pigments turn their feathers pink, orange and red – without them, flamingos would be white.’

Oregon DOC Appears to Have Disappeared Portland Protester Malik Muhammad
"The Oregon Department of Corrections appears to have effectively disappeared Malik Muhammad, a Black Palestinian anarchist and antifascist prisoner serving one of the longest sentences handed to a protester after the 2020 George Floyd uprising."
Supporters are now calling for urgent action. They are urging people to contact the Oregon Department of Corrections, elected officials and to amplify prior reporting on Muhammad’s treatment.
Because what is happening is no longer ambiguous. A prisoner has been removed from public record. Their location is being withheld. Contact has been cut off. And the state is refusing to explain why. Under international human rights standards, this pattern has a name: enforced disappearance. The detention of a person followed by a refusal to disclose their fate or whereabouts. It is a practice historically associated with authoritarian regimes and political repression. The Oregon Department of Corrections may use bureaucratic language such as “confidential placement,” “operational reasons,” but the effect is the same: a human being has been made to vanish behind the walls of the state. This is not a clerical error. It is not a routine transfer. It is an escalation. And if it is allowed to stand, it sets a precedent: that the state can make political prisoners disappear, and face no consequences for it. This is bigger than one case. When the state can make a prisoner vanish and refuse to account for it, it exposes a system built not on justice, but on control and impunity. Naming it matters. Resisting it matters more. Because what is happening here is not an anomaly, it is an escalation.

Hey so saying you’re scared to befriend trans women because of the trans rad fems on this website is actually wild. The chronically online rad fems pushing transandrophobic views are just a small group of shitty people. Don’t let them push you into a biased way of thinking. We all need to love and be there for each other in the queer community and I love my trans sisters and siblings in this community!!
